WE'RE GROWING UP
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

Imperial Valley is getting along in
years, even though it still is a compar-
ative youngster.
A note in the ''25 years ago. column
of the San Diego Union, records the fact
that Imperial filed its petition for the
formation of a new union high school
just one-half hour before a similar pc
tition was filed by Ell Centro
This was on May IS, 1906, when this
community was still part of San Di-
ego county and was prior, of course, to
the memorable battle waged between
Imperial and Ell Centre for the honor of
being the county seat.
1t was, in fact, preliminary skirmish
to the big battle and gave notice to the
mother town of the valley, that the ambi-
tious youngster four miles to the south
was out to carve niche for itself in the
affairs of the new empire.
We have no intention of calling up
ghosts of the past in mentioning this par
ticular subject. To a newer generation
it is history, remote and incidental. To
some of the old timers it is still subject
for acrimonious discussion.
Our object is merely to point out that
while we are not growing old, we are ac
quiring past and history.

coming nearer and nearer.

like the blazing bright sun, turned

made its yellow petals shine SO glar-

that he couldn't see Uncle Wiggily
hiding on the rock. Brighter and
brighter the sun flower shone in the
face of the Bob Cat until his eyes
filled with tears and he sneezed,

he said:

One day when uncle Wiggily was
hopping around n the woods look

place where no trees grew but
where there was large rock. Near
the rock grew a yellow flower. As
the rabbit gentleman looked at the
blossom. which was not very large,
he heard a voice saying:
"Oh. how thirsty I am"

exclaimed Uncle Wiggily, getting

Formerly when sheik "a desert sheik

DERBY WINNER
LIKELY TO BE
new CHAMPION
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 10. up
Twenty Grand winner of the fast
est Kentucky Derby in history,
seemed headed today for the g.
year-old championship of 1881 and
place in the turf worlds perma-
nent hall of fame.
In winning the 57th edition of the
historic race at Churchill Downs
Saturday before 10000 spectators,
including Vice President Charles
/ Curtis, Twenty Grand set new
Derby and track record of 2 min
utes l AS seconds for the mile and
quarter route. The time lowered
by / 3-5 seconds the former record
OF 2:03 "a, made by old Rosebud
in 1914.
Until Twenty Grand stretched his
long legs around the Downs oval
Saturday, the Derby had been run
under 2:04 only twice since 1896,
when the distance was shortened
from a mile and q half to a mile
and quarter. Outside of Old Rose
buds mark, Bubbling overs time of
2:03 As is the only other closely
approaching the Greentree stables
colts new record.
Average time for derby winners at
the present distance is well above
2:07 Gallant Fox won in 1880 in
2:074, Clyde Van Dusen in 1929
in 2.10 AS, and Reign Count in
1923 in 2:l0 2-5. OF course. these
races were run on muddy tracks.
Twenty Grand has started three
races as a 3-year-old, and has won
two of them and placed second in
the other. Mrs. Payne Whitneys
bay colt won the Wood memorial at
Jamaica. placed second to A. c.
Bostwick'S Mate in the Preakness,
and then won the Derby
Before shipping Twenty Grand
back East. Trainer Jim Rowe indi-
Gated that the son of st. Germans
Bonus would start in the Belmont
stakes June 13. If successful in this
mile and a half test, the chances
are that Twenty Grand will be
shipped west to run in the Ameri-
can Derby at Washington Park q
week later. He is almost certain to
run in the Arlington classic at Ar
lington later in the season
The smashing superiority oi
Twenty Grand over the II colts that
started in the derby with him
proved almost beyond doubt that
he deserves to be ranked we'll ur
with such great thoroughbreds as
Man o War, Old Rosebud, Extermi-
nator, Sir Barton, Gallant Fox and
others.

spring.

the rabbit gentleman. IN come
every day until it rains and then
you can get water for yourself
You are very kind" murmured
the flower, nodding its head in the
warm, summer wind.
Each day after that, when he was
out in the woods looking for an
adventure, Uncle Wiggily would hop
to the flower and pour water
around its roots, carrying the drink
from the spring in his hat. And
each day the flower grew taller and
larger until it was nearly up to
the top of the big rock behind which
the rabbit gentleman had been 60
ing to hide when he thought the
Fox or Bob Cat was after him.
So the days went on and one
Monday the rabbit gentleman, after
hopping around looking for an ad-
venture but not finding one, again
hoped over to the flower. 1t was
quite big now and looked like the
shining, yellow sun. In fact, it was

"Oh, hello, Uncle Wiggilyl" called
the sun flower as the rabbit gentle
man hoped near. You needn't
water me today, thank you"
why not?" asked the rabbit.
Aren't you thirsty?"
