Foley To Address Hearers To-Night
 At War Monument
Will Also Talk Tomorrow Evening at Soldiers MemO- rial On the Road Eleven Years and Has Travelled to All Parts of the United States

Edwin A. Foley known as the hik- ing evangelist, was a caller. at the office of the Waterbury Democrat to-day and requested that he be given another write-up similar to the one which he received here two years ago.
 Mir Foley has an interesting his- tory. He is a native of Boston, but gives his present residence as Chi cago. He is sixty-three years of age, but if he cared to he could pass for a man of thirty-five or forty. He has been on the road eleven years and feels that he has accom- plished something for the benefit of his fellowmen. He will speak at the soldiers monument tonight and to-morrow evening at 7:30 o'clock and invites all the people of Wa terbury to hear. him. His subject will be Peace of Mind and How to Obtain It."
 One of the strange things in connection with the life of MT Foley is that eleven years ago he was Knocked out by a monoxide gas and was considered dead for four days and ten hours during which his friends had quite difference as to whether he should be buried. After the fourth day all agreed that there was no use keeping the body any longer and it was decided to call in the undertaken. Just about the time plans were perfected for the em- balming process, friends noticed re- turning signs of life and the ser wees of the undertaken were dis pensed with. In a short time the patient had fully recovered and he has since devoted his time to re- niinding his fellowmen of the wis., dom of making provision for the time when they will pass out of this life and appear before their God.

Frisbey Sued By
Insurance Firm

William E. Frisbey and the Am
erican Surety company of New
York today are defendants in suit
brought by the California Western
States Life Insurance company for
$944.51.
The suit involves the same trans
actions told in a criminal hearing,
when Frisbey was charged with
grand theft because he allegedly
collected money from lands owned
by the insurance company, and con-
verted the money to his own use.
The charges in the civil suit are
practically the same as those in the
criminal action.
The insurance company owned
land in Imperial county, according
to the complaint, and named Fris-
hey its agent to collect rents. He
collected $944.51, but did not turn
it over to the insurance company,
the complaint charges.
The American Surety company Of
New York is named as bonding COM
pany for Frisbey.

1t is not possible to place the finger
right now on any benefit Imperial Valley
and Ell Centro are getting from the
Boulder dam project, but thereis ben
eft Just the same. 1t will be felt with
increasing strength as the job proceeds
and when the dam is completed its bene-
fits to us will be apparent to all.
The same thing holds true for the aque-
duct and the canal projects. They will
benefit Ell Centre and Imperial Valley.
They are cogs in the wheels of progress
which mean Just as much to the develop
ment of the Southwest as the fertility OF
the soil or the climatic conditions. 1t is
to be regretted that all cannot see them
in this light
Boulder dam is an example of what the
government might do in relieving unem-
poyment. 1t is fine to talk of relief
measures either in the form of dole or
something approaching it. But far bet
ter it is to provide work for those who
want it and there is much work of a ma
tional character to be done and we have
the money with which to do it. Unwind
ing the red tape which surrounds our
political machinery is the biggest stumb-
ling block in gigantic development pro-
gram that is essential and possible.

MAKING WORK

Manager

UNEMPLOYMENT-the bogie man who
y is causing plenty of grief in these
United States-is giving many restless
hour not only to those who are without
jobs but to industrial and political lead
ers who are seeking to reduce it.
1t is as serious in the west as it is any
where else, but it is worth calling atten-
tion to the fact that at least one big dent
has been made in the ranks of the unem-
ployed through the construction of Boul-
der Canyon dam.
At present some 5000 men are engaged
in working on this project In compari-
son with the great number of idle this
figure does not loom very large, but 5000
working men means provision for several
times that number when their dependents
are considered.
When work is started on the Los An
geles aqueduct, another small army will
be employed, and as these are to be re-
cruited from Californians, it will mean
another inroad on the total of unem-
ployed.
Looming alongside the aqueduct pro-
lect is the All-American canal, which
would mean work for another group of
men. These too could be recruited from
among idle Californians and putting

sprinkled a bit damp. Leave this
to me-
So Uncle Wiggily sat in q chair,
having watched Nurse Jane roll his
damp handkerchief into a ball.
The muskrat lady attached the cleo
trio iron to a socket in the wall and
then went out to sweep the porch.
Uncle Wiggily waited and waited,
but Nurse Jane did not come back.
The rabbit gentleman looked at his
watch.
IT'S getting late he murmured.
Soon it will be too late for me to
go adyenturing. I think I can iron
this handkerchief myself, now that
everything is ready. Yes, I'll
do it,
Mr.. Longears unfolded the damp
handkerchief and spread it out on
the ironing board which Nurse
Jane had placed across the kitchen
table. Then Uncle Wiggily picked
up the electric iron and he was
just going to start to lay out his
wrinkled handkerchief to press it
smooth, as he had often watched
Nurse Jane do, when, all of a sud-
den the door opened and a voice
asked:
What are you doing?"
Uncle Wiggily, without looking
up, thinking it was Nurse Jane,
said:
Why, I am ironing a handker-
chief. I got tired waiting for you,
thinking you had too much work
to do"
We'll, I'm sorry kept you wait
ing the voice went on. II came
as soon as I could and now I have
you'll" Asxl
With that Uncle Wiggily looked
up and there stood the Busky
Bear
oh ho!" cried Uncle Wiggily,
holding the hot electric iron in his
paw. You asked me what l was
doing. Well, I started to iron my
wrinkled handkerchief but I've
changed my mind and now I'm 60
ing to iron the wrinkles out of your
nose"
"Oh, mol Don't do thatl" howled
the Busky Bear. II didn't come
here for that"
Then why did you come?' asked
the rabbit. The Busky Bear did
not answer, but well did the rabbit
gentleman know the Bad Chap had
come to nibble him. So, all of a
sudden, Uncle Wiggily held the hot
iron on the Bears wrinkled. black
nose and, "presto!" in an instant
it was ironed smooth. But it burned
the Bear so much that he gave a
loud howl and away he ran, not
nibbling the rabbit at all.
Then Mr.. Longears ironed his
handkerchief and Nurse Jane said,
when she came in from sweeping
the stoop, that he was very clever.
So if the fountain pen will stop
spraying molaSeS all over the choco-
late cake, I'll tell you next about

bureau I'll iron you one I have
lot of clean ones in this basket. -
and she pointed to the clothes
which she had washed the day be-
fore, but which had not yet been
ironed.
Can YOU wait a moment, Uncle
Wiggily?" asked the muskrat lady,
oh, yes,' he answered. II can't
go adventuring without a clean
handkerchief. Iron me one if you
please. Or, perhaps I could take
one that isn't ironed."
mo, indeed" squeaked Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. do you think I'll
let you go out of here with a hand
kerchief all wrinkled like that?"
She took one. from the basket of
clean clothes and held it up. The
white linen square was as wrinkled
as an elephants hide before he has
had any peanuts for breakfast. Il
wouldn't want you to go out with
a handkerchief that isn't ironed," /"
said Nurse Jane.
mo, I suppose it wouldn't be very
polite" agreed Mr.. Longears. But
how long will it be, jamie, before
you can iron it smooth for me?"
Not long" she answered. "I'll
attach the electric iron. While it
is getting hot I'll sweep the front
porch. BY that time everything
will be ready"
Very good said Mr.. Longears.
Then as he saw Nurse Jane take
some water from the kitchen
faucet and sprinkle his clean
handkerchief, he exclaimed: What
in the world are you doing? You
are making my handkerchief all wet
again after you had it dry"
Don't be silly" laughed the
muskrat lady. "All things to be

UNCLE WlGGILY'S HAND
KERCHIEF

"How about a clean handker-
chief, Nurse Jane?" asked Uncle
Wiggily as he came down stairs in
his hollow stump bungalow one
morning, all dressed to go adyen-
turing.
Aren't there any clean handker-
chiefs in your bureau?' the musk
rat lady housekeeper wanted to
know. She was in the kitchen, hav-
ing just finished giving the bunny
children breakfasts so they could
hop to school.
Not a handkerchief in my bu-
reau," answered Mr.. Longears
And what am I to do? I don't
want to go adventuring without q
clean handkerchief. I might want
to cry and then what could do"
We'll, I hope it isn't as bad as
that" said Nurse Jane, with a
laugh. II mean I hope you don't
have such a bad adventure that it
will make you cry. But 1 know
you should have a clean handker-
