and through the woods until he was
near the den of Mr.. Stubtail the
bear gentleman. The den was un-
der hill, a coZy, warm den lined
with leaves. Animals ike the bear
and grounding, or Woodchuck, al
ways take a long sleep, or hiOer-
nate, during the winter. Food Is
hard to get for these animals in
winter so they think if they take
a long sleep Of several months they
will not feel hungry. You know you
can t eat when you sleep.
.@But this is the day for Stubby
to come out" Uncle Wiggily thought
as he neared the bear S sleeping
den. ~ only hope the sun will stay
under the clouds, - and he looked
anxiously up. The sun was shin
ing brightly then. but when Mr.
Stubtail and Mr. Chuck came out
it might be hidden from sight.
All of a sudden Uncle Wiggily
saw something cleaning bright red
in the bushes ahead Of him. At
first he thought it might be the red
tongue of the bear gentleman stick
ing out. But another look showed
Uncle Wiggily that what he was
looking at were many bright, red
leads on a rose bush. OF course
the rose bush wasn't in blossom,
now, it was winter. But when the
blossoms had fallen off at the end
of summer in their places. on the
stickery, bramble branches, were
left these red pods of seeds.
"Oh, what jolly beads these red
rose pods will make - said Uncle
Wiggily So he gathered a pocket
full of the red rose beads. taxing
care not to prick himself. Then
he was ready to hop on to see Mr..
Stubtail and Mr.. Chuck to ask them
not to look at their shadows for
that would make winter six weeks
longer instead of four But all of
a sudden, something happened as
Uncle Wiggily picked the red rose
beads.
And if the baby carriage will try
and grow up into a fine, strong
milk wagon, III tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily's present.

GROUNDHOGS HEAVEN

If there is one fellow with cinch
been wise enough to make his home in
Imperial Valley
While his cousins in other parts of
the country were bruising their paws to-
day scratching out through snow and ice
to find out if they have enough provender
on hand for the remainder of the win
+er, our John j. is skipping about in his
summer flannels, never having learned
that there are such things as snow and
ice.
Nor has he had to learn the wisdom
of storing up enough energy to last him
while he hibernates through the winter.
For him there is no necessity for gorg
ing himself for long sleep, only to
wobble out weeks later, looking like a
disgrace to the animal kingdom, his head
filled with the one idea of what heck
of world this is.
Many of his cousins will return to
winter quarters today, possessing the
knowledge that they must continue to
suck the paw for few more weeks.
Theirs cannot be an untroubled sleep.
1t must be punctuated with horrifying
dreams, filled with the unhappy thought
that they possibly did not eat enough,
and that the coming of spring will find
their souls in the happy hunting grounds
or wherever groundhogs go when they
die.
Here John J. does not even have to
grow an extra heavy coat Of fur; he
doesn't have to file his claws to dig
through frozen ground field mice, moles
and other groundhogian tidbits are fat
and slovenly the year round, making the
procuring of dinner larg instead of a
gamble; and for 365 days in the year he
sees his shadow and doesn't have to give
hoot about it.
John J. is surely living the life of Riley,
and when you stop to think about it he
is not the only one in Imperial Valley
who is sitting pretty.

MRS NELLIE ROSS HAS RILED WOMEN
 REPUBLICANS
Mrs Jacob Baur Has Re- piled to Charges Made By the Democratic Vice. Chairman

Washington. May s-(UP)-Mrs Nellie Taylor Ross,S vice. chairman of the democratic national committee was accused of "missstatements and misrepresentations" in a statement issued by the republican national committee over the name of Mrs Jacob Baur, republican national committeewoman for Illinois.
 Mrs Baur challenged statement of Mrs Ross, in a speech at Lima, Ohio, that "504 individuals, accord ing to government records, report ed incomes averaging in excess of $2,000.0o0 a year." She cited a re- port of the commissioner of inter- nal revenue to show that 5O4 per sons reported incomes "of a million or over-not two millions"
 Observers were predicting today that the Baur-Ross episode might rival in the female contingent the widely publicized Fess-Shouse en- counter, when Chairman Fess of the republican national committee &C., cused Executive Chairman Shouse of the democratic committee of telling "a deliberate falsehood."
 Mrs Ross said incomes of 504 in- dividuals "averaged'' in excess of s2,000,000. Mrs Baur. on the other hand, showed that the incomes Of these same 504 fortunates were Gin excess of one million dollars each, but she did not deal with averages. Friends of Mrs Ross said it would be quite possible for 504 persons to have incomes each in excess of million. and have them average more than $2,0o0,0 900 each.
 Mrs Baur went on to dispute Mrs Ross assertion that the total in- come of these 504 persons would equal the value of the entire wheat and cotton crop of the United States for 1880. She pointed out that according to the World Almanac, the total value of the wheat and cotton crops, for 1929 was $2,065.- 900. Mrs Ross friends noted that while she was figuring on a basis of the 1880 crops, Mrs Baur cited values for the 1929 crops, which were harvested prior to the incep- tion of the depression.

INDIA TO OBTAIN
 DOMINION RULE
 AT ROUND TABLE
Prince Aga Khan, Religious Chief of MOhanlfnedans, Says That Will Be Result of Session

Cannes, France, May 8 - (UP)- - Prince Aga Khan, religious chief of several million Ismaili Mohamme- dans, told the United Press in an ex- elusive interview that India will ob- tain dominion status in the British Empire at the forthcoming Indian round table conference at London.
 'The Gandhi-Irwin Accord" the Moslem leader said. "should only be considered as a prelude to a new round table conference in either July or September at London. At this reunion the situation of India will be definitely established, since Gandhi is participating.
 For the moment, before all else, it is necessary to calm further civil war and to prevent further victims. India is not yet ready for her inde- pendence. The best method for all concerned will be to grant India do- minion status, which we are certain to obtain this time at London.
 '.At the last London conference we reached accord, on certain number of points which will give India the constitution she needs. An agreement having been reached on coordinate them, to build a body upon the skeleton already set up. India will, therefore, enter the United Kingdom under the same conditions as Canada. Everyone will be satisfied"
 Since the war the Aga Khan has passed most of his time in France. His full title is Aga Khan, Aga Sul- tan Sir Mahomed Shah. By the British government he is accorded the rank of a first class native chief, and when .he attended the corona tion ceremonies in 1902 he was greeted with II cannon salutes.

PRINCESS LEFT
 BUCHAREST FOR 1 GOOD REASONS
King Carol Wanted to Avoid Difficulties During Some Forthcoming State Occa- siOns

Berlin, May 8.-(UP)-The de- parture of Princess Helene, divorced wife of King Carol, from Bucharest was due to the kings desire Ito avoid difficulties' during forthcom- ing family and state occasions in connection with the betrothal of Princess Ileana, the Berliner Zei- lungs correspondent at Belgrade re- ported to-day.
 The difficulties referred to were in connection with the unsettled stat us' of the former wife of the king. Helene has persistentiy refused to be reconciled to the king, who was divorced during his exile in Paris with Madame Mazda Lupescu.
 The princess is scheduled to pro- ceed from Belgrade to Paris, where she will remain while Dowager Queen Marie, Princess Ileana and the princess fiance, Archduke An ton of Hapsburg, are in Bucharest, it was said.
 reports current last year said Prin- early this year. She did not leave Bucharest at the time designated, but rumors still said she would take up permanent residence abroad, probably in France, making only occasional visits to Bucharest.
 The Berliner Zeitung's Belgrade correspondent said to-day that Prin- cess Ileana's engagement to Arch duke Anton has created a delicate situation at Buchcarest.
 Queen Marie and Princess Ileana was said to be uncertain as to Prin- cess Helene's status and not able to decide whether to receive her as queen.
 The position of Helene appeared paradoxical, as she remained off, ficially divorced from King Carol, retained civil rights, but her royal prerogatives were underlined.
