against the city of Calipatria and
its city council today, after a judg-
ment of dismissal in favor of the

Christmas Cheer
Gets Man In Jail

Transportation of liquor in an
automobile is usually just another
felony to be dealt with in state
courts, but when the automobile
unhappily happens to be just cross
ing an international line, the charge
changes to smuggling and the case
goes into federal court.
Theodore Sanchez, 80, discovered
this late yesterday when he was
stopped at the Calexico entry port
by customs inspectors, and l8 quarts
of whisky removed one by one from
various places in Concealment in
the automobile.
The tentative Christmas cheer
went into the evidence room, and
Sanchez went into the county jail,
to await arraignment. probably to-
day, before United States Commits
sioner Dorsey Whitelaw. Should he
be bound over to federal court San
chez will be taken to San Diego
for trial.

RUSSIA SUBJECT
OF TALK GIVEN
AT LIONS CLUB

why Russia's Five Year Plan
VIII Fail" was the title of the in
teresting talk given yesterday for
the Lions clup by DR.. William G,
Campbell, associate professor Of
sducation, University of Southern
California, who spoke at the
weekly meeting at the Barbara
Worth hotel.
The speaker asserted his belief
that the famous fiye-year plan
which is supposed to work Rus
sias economic regeneration will
fail because of lack of natural re-
sources, the excessive trade bal
ance resulting from shipping abroas
goods needed at home, the lack Of
a world exchange for Russian
money, the lack Of a gold reserve.
lack Of efficiency, and the aboli-
ton of all human relationships
such as the family and religion

UNCLE WIGGILY'S CHRISTMAS
STOCKINGS

Uncle Wiggily hoped away from

his wife and Nurse jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy. But don't be worried. The
rabbit gentleman had not locked
Mrs. Longears and his muskrat
lady housekeeper in room be-
cause they were bad. Far from it.
Mrs. Longears and Nurse Jane
were trimming the Christmas tree
and after Uncle Wiggily had seen
them start to put on the silver,
gold and red ornaments, he said:
Il am going out to look for an
adventure and also to get some
thing else for Christmas, SO I had
better lock this door,"
"Oh, yes, do" agreed his wife.
I'VE don't want the children to
see us trimming the Christmas

Sheriff's Civil
Files Inspected

That the record system kept in
the civil department of the I'M
perial county sheriff's office is
widely known in California for its
efficiency was demonstrated recent
" when two deputies from the Kern
county sheriff's office visited FL
Centro on an inspection trip.
The officers, Carter and Elder,
explained they were instructed to
make notes on the system used here,
and probably would install the same
system in their own office. Carter
is chief civil deputy in Kern coun-
ty.
S. T. Robinson. civil deputy here,

inspection of files and records, and
offered suggestions for the new sys-
tenn in the northern county.

long strips of thin, strong bark off
many birch trees. Then he fash
ioned the bark into many large
stockings sewing up the seams with
some strong strings from the wild
honeysuckle vines. And soon he
had as many Christmas stockings
as he thought he would need. He
was hopping to his bungalow with
them when. all at once. out of the
bushes jumped the Fuzzy Fox
ready to nibble the rabbit.
But Uncle Wiggily rolled horn
out of a strip of birch bark and
blew such a loud blast on it that
he frightened the Fox, who ran
away.
Thus everything was as it should
be and Mr.. Longears, laughed.
But if the ice cream doesn't stop

catch cold and then I'll tell you
about Uncle Wiggily's Christmas
eve.

Doctor Campbell declared that il
the five-year plan should succeed
it will be due to the fact that
Russia has utilized American ma

If successful. Russia will be a for
midable competitor to the United
States.

POOR Mr.. McFADDEN

REPRESENTATIVE LEWIS T. Nc
II FADDEN. of Pennsylvania, w h o
brought a storm of denunciation about
his head last week when he charged
President Hoover with violation Of his
oath of office has been finding out since
his speech Just what a boomerang Is.
Punishment immediate and future con-
fronts the representative, who certainly
showed the poorest sort of judgment for
one who has progressed as far IN poll
tics as to be elected to congress.
He has been notified that the post office
department wishes no advice from him
on appointments of poStmasters in his
district A representative who cannot
control the appointment of his own post
masters, is certainly in bad way. AL
so. the Pennsylvania Republican delega-
ton in congress repudiated McFadden
and his remarks. Some men are big
enough to travel the political trail alone
like Borah of Idaho and Norris of Ne
braska, but McFadden doesn't seem to be
their size. The reputation therefore is
something more effective than a mere
gesture.
These are some of the things that have
happened to the hapless congressman.
The future holds even more, the first
threat appearing on the horizon being
the announcement of Mrs Clifford Pin
chot that she will seek McFadden's job.
Nor is this an empty gesture. Mrs.
Pinchot is the wife of Pennsylvania gov
ernor, one of a team of good politicians
who can make the going mighty difficult
for McFadden. Even under ordinary
circumstances she could give him a good
battle With the Hoover criticism hang
inc around his neck like a milestone, Nc
Fadden will be lucky if he is not drawn
under and drowned in an ocean of Pin
chot votes.
The moral of the story seems to be
make sure you are right before you criti-
cize.
We favor the suggestion of Mr.. Otto
Kahn, that way be found to take our
debts out to sea and drown them.

dinner for all his fellow convicts. Al

Jane as she tried to reach up and
faSten a glittering star on the very
tip-top of the Christmas tree. But
the tree was very high and Nurse
Jane was rather short so it seemed
that the star would never go on
top until a little mewing voice
said:
Let me do that for you,"
"Oh, thank you, pussy!' ex-
claimed Nurse Jane. She gave the
star to the little maltese pussy, who
had ridden home when Mr.. Stub
tail dragged the tree from the
woods for Uncle Wiggily. Soon the
ornament was glittering as brightly
as a diamond. For the pussy
could climb the Christmas tree
much better than could Nurse
Jane.
So it was that Uncle Wiggily
hoped away from his bungalow
leaving his wife and Nurse Jane
locked in the room with the
Christmas tree which they were
trimming. But we must not forget
the pussy cat. She, also. was help
ing trim the tree. And as for be-
ing locked in, why Mrs. Longears
and Nurse Jane could get out
whenever they liked, as they had
an extra key.
Now" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself as he hoped over the
fields and through the woods, Il
must see about my Christmas
stockings. 1t is all very we'll to
have a tree, but some of my chill
dren will want to hang UP their
stockings. or it wouldn't seem right
for Santa Claus. SO I'll get some
extra big stockings for those of
my bunnies who would rather hang
them up instead of getting their
presents off the tree"
Now Uncle Wiggily did not know
much about buying stockings.
Usually he left this to his wife or
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. When
ever any of the rabbit children
needed new stockings, Mrs. Long
ears or Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy would
go to the paint shop or the hard
ware store or maybe the bakery
wherever it is stockings are
sold-and buy as many as were
needed.
But this time l must get them
myself" chuckled Mr.. LongearS,
"as want them to be Christmas
surprise for my bunnies, just as the
tree is going to be-
Uncle Wiggily hoped TO the five
and six cent store and to the little
mousie girl clerk behind the
counter he said:
II want to buy about twenty
great big Christmas stockings"
"Oh, we don't keep them,
squeaked the mousie girl clerk
Try next door" Uncle Wiggily
said thank YOU and hoped next
door where there was a bakery,
but they only had cakes and loaves
of bread.
TRY next door, said the bak-
cry cat lady. So Uncle Wiggily
said thank YOU and hoped next

"I'll see if 1 can't make my own
Christmas stockings" said the
rabbit gentleman. II am tired OF
being sent next door and next
door and next door" In the woods
he saw some large, white birch
trees. sl
Now Uncle Wiggily knew that
the old Indians used TO peel of
the bark of the birch trees to make
canoes. And" he thought, I'll
