THE YUMA -PHOENIX ROAD

OF particular interest to residents Of
Imperial Valley is the completion of the
improved highway between Yuma and
Phoenix, marking a step forward in the
ultimate completion of Highway No. So
The occasion is to be observed by a big
celebration in Phoenix next Tuesday, to
which Imperial Valley as whole is in
vited and it hoped there will be a gen.
erous response.
1t is now possible to make the trip
from Yuma to Phoenix in four hours,
over splendid road free from the hard
ships formerly encountered.
Next to good schools, nothing is more
important in building up the country
than good roads. They draw commun-
tiles together, stimulate trade and social
relations and make it possible to enjoy
travelling in the most popular fashion
via the family automobile.
Arizona is to be complimented on the
speed it has used in improving this par
ticular part of the highway which goes
from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
We wildly recall making this distance
last year on the tail-end of trip from
the Atlantic coast, and the hearty curses
we poured down upon the state of Ari-
zona for the abominable condition of
N0dl Was SuppOSel u De d fiiS lNds. LAeu
then Arizona was working to improve it.
but because it wasn't completed the day
we used it, we could not give any bene-
fit to our neighboring state
1t will not be possible for us to attend
the Tuesday celebration though we would
dearly like to do so. Nothing would
give us greater pleasure than to travel
over this particular bit of highway in
comfort and we would gladly replace
last years cussing with words of praise.
Highway No. 80 is vitality important
to Imperial Valley. 1t is the gateway
through which comes to us all our east
ern tourist traffic An improvement in
any portion of it (and not very much of
it needs Improvement has a beneficial
effect, directly or indirectly upon this
community.
1t is to be hoped that the valley can
be we'll represented on the caravan
which will leave Yuma next Tuesday to
inspect the road and join in the Phoe-
nix celebration. 1t will make a fine
holiday and give US an opportunity to
extend congratulations to Arizona upon
a fine piece of work.

shouts and from the school came
running many animal children.
"Hurray! Hurray Hurray!"
barked Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow.
New! New Mew!" called Joe.
Tommie and Kittie Kat.
/ "Baaal Baal Baal" bleated Man,
ME and Billie Wagtail, the goats.
Ugh. Ig! Uffl" grunted Curly
and Floppy the piggie boys.
"Ha! School is out!" said Uncle
Wiggily, pinklink his twink nose,
which was quite different from
twinkling his pink nose. Here
come the children! Now I don't
i dare to pretend I am a little boy
and make mud pies. They would
! laugh at mel"
j Jingle and Jangle, Buster and
Custer. Muster and Duster, to name
a few of Uncle Wiggily's own little
rabbit boys and girls, hoped up to
him with the other animal children
and asked:
What are you doing here, Daddi-
cums?'
"Oh, nothing special" Mr.. Long
ears answered, which was true
enough, for he wasn't even having
an adventure. And he hadn't
started to make any mud pies.
Are you going TO school, Uncle
Wiggily?" barked Jackie Bow Wow,
the puppy dog boy.
"Oh, no, my school days are over"
said the rabbit. And to himself he
thought. rather sadly: My mud
pie days are also over. No more
jolly fun like that for met
Uncle Wiggily watched the chill
dren animals running home from
school playing tag and other games
] for they were glad to be finished
with their lessons. Once more Un-
Gle Wiggily was alone near the pud-
die. He looked about him. No one
was in sight. The Lady Mouse
Teacher was still in the hollow
stump school cleaning the chalk
marks off the blackboards.
NO one will see mel" said Mr..
Longears. I'm going to make some
mud pies as I did when I was a
little boy. And I'm going barefoot.
tool"
| He sat down on flat stump and
took off his shoes and socks. Then
he wiggled the toes on his bare
paws and walked over the new,
green grass toward the puddle. In
to the mud stepped the rabbit.
"Oh, how good that feelsl" he
said Just like old times!"
He stepped about in the squishy
squashy puddle and then, rolling up
his sleeves he took up a paw full
of the soft, brown, sticky mud.
III see if I remember how to
make pies" chuckled Mr.. Longears.
AS he stopped over to pick up the
/ mud, the Bob Cat with his silly little
| tail came running down the hill
The Bob Cat saw Uncle Wiggily
standing in the puddle.
"Hurrayl" cried the Bob Cat
Uncle Wiggily is stuck in the mudl
l can catch him now!" And he made
a big jump close to the edge of the
puddle of mud. Uncle Wiggily
looked up.
What do you want?" cried the
rabbit.
You! I want you!" howled the
Bob Cat.
Have mud pie instead!" cried
the rabbit with jolly laugh. With
that he flung big, soft, squishy,
squashy blop of mud right in the
face of the Bob Cat. The mud
plastered shut the eyes of the Cat
SO he couldn't see. He howled:
Wow! Wow! Bowl
"Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wiggily
as he hoped from the puddle, took
his shoes and socks and ran homel
Il haven't forgotten how to make
mud pies!"
Then the Bob Cat wiped the mud
out of his eyes and taking his silly
little tail with him went back to his
den. And if the pussy cat will dip
her paw in the mustard pot and
paint the head of the cabbage red,
I'll tell you next about Uncle Wig
gily's bunny twins.

UNCLE WIGGLY'S MUD PIES

Uncle Wiggily was hopping along
the path in the woods that led past
the Hollow Stump School where the
Lady Mouse Teacher heard the les
sons of the animal children 1t was
q fine, sunny day after some April
rain. Here, and there. on the
ground, were puddles of water.
What lovely mud said Uncle
Wiggily TO himself as he looked at
one puddle. If I were younger I
could make some wonderful mud
pies right here. But, of course,
must not do that. am too old for
mud pies"
Then he laughed and twinkled his
pink nose for, really. he didn't feel
at all old.
1T would be fun to make mud
pies" went on the rabbit gentle
man. Il used to do it when l was
little boy. Sometimes I would
mix up the mud with my bare feet
and then 1 would put it in empty
clam shells or hollow bits of broken
dishes for plates. Ha Hal"

The old rabbit gentleman, how

couldn't help looking at the mud

mud for pies.
