BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright. 1928. By Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

Why Wiggy!" said his wife.
you can't go out today. You know
you have the rheumatism and are
lame You must stay in!"
"Oh, I'm much. better" said the
rabbit gentleman with laugh.
MY rheumatism doesn't hurt, that
is hardly any. I guess Little Bub
cured it. All right, Bub, I'm COM
ing!" he shouted, for the rainbow
boy was calling again.
'Oh, dear! What shall do with
him?" sighed Mrs. Longears as she
saw her husband hopping out of
the bungalow to meet Little Bub.
"The best thing to do" squeaked
Nurse Jane, 'is to let him get an
other pain from trying to hop on
his rheumatic leg and that will
teach him lesson"
Perhaps so,' agreed the rabbit
lady. Uncle Wiggily seems never
able to tell Little Bub he can't
come out. He's very fond of that
boy"
And Lite Bub loves Uncle Wig
Slly, SalQ NURSE Jane.
Trying to forget all about his
rheumatism, though it still panied
him, Uncle Wiggily hoped over
the fields and through the woods
with the rainbow boy. They went
up hill and they went down hill
and soon they came to the duck
pond
Nov we'll have fun!" exclaimed
the rainbow boy, and he began to
throw stones in the water. "Ker
plunk! Ker plank! Ker plink!" the
stones splashed in the water.
Now, whether some water splash
ed on Uncle Wiggily or whether it
was just the dampnesS from the
pond don't know, but, all of a
sudden the rabbit gentleman's leg
got very stiff so he could hardly
hop and he said:
"Oh, Little Bub, what am I 60
ing to do? We can't have an ad-
venture if can't hop after one
What shall we do?"
wait until throw another stone
in the pond" answered the rain,
bow boy So he threw in another
stone, "ker blinko,' and then, all
of a sudden, a big, black, ugly
creature bobbed up out of the wa
ter and said:
"Herel Here! Why are you throw
ing stones at me?"
"Oh, it's Big Snap the mud
turtle" cried Uncle Wiggily, and
SO it was. And something very
strange happened.
You shall hear about it tomor-
row if the rubber ball will stop
bouncing on the head of cabbage
when it ought to be playing ten
mis-. The story will be of Uncle
Wiggily's queer ride.

Stolen Auto
Only Mistake

A really embarrassing moment
brought a deep red flush to the
face of an Imperial Valley motor
ist last night, and an internally
empty feeling when he discovered
the car he was driving was not his
own.
For while j. Rucker of Braw-
ley, who left his car parked at CAL
exico, thought his automobile had
been stolen. He was so firmly of
the opinion that he reported the
theft to Calexico police, who in
turn reported it to the sheriff's
office.
About As minutes later the man
who had driven off in Ruckee's
automobile returned with it, not
quite sure of his reception and
whole e-heartedly condemning auto
mobile manufacturers who make
automobiles SO much alike that he
could not tell Fuckers car from
his own.
Rucker went into possession of

ECONOMY PLANS
CONSIDERED AT
SCHOOL SESSION

Methods of economy and of
holding expenses to a minimum
were the chief subjects for discus
sion at the convention of city and
county superintendent held recent
ly in San Francisco, according to
C. B. Collins, county superintend-
ent of schools, who returned to Ell
Centro last week.
Superintendent Collins was a
member of the legislation commit
tee which presented its report to
the body, the committee stating
that in it's opinion it was decided
ly unwise to present new legisla-
tion at the present time.
The entire group was united in
advocating adoption of initiative
measure number which will trans
fer the source of revenue for the
schools from county to state funds.
Mrs. Grace Ferrell, instruction
supervisor for the county schools,
was elected secretary-treasurer CT
the southern section of rural sup
eryisors.
Local educators who attended the
convention were Cornelius B. Col
Inns, county superintendent; B. M.
Gruwell, district superintendent,
and Mrs. Grace Ferrell and Miss
Winnie Mae Mackey, instruction
supervisors for the county super
intendent's office.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND BIG
SNAP

When Uncle Wiggily hoped into
his hollow stump bungalow out of
the rain one day his wife met him
at the door and said:
why, Wiggy, didn't you have
an umbrella?"
mo, my DEAR" he answered. "I
didn't. forgot all about taking an
umbrella and I was caught in the
storm. I'm afraid I am a little
wet" he said, and he couldn't
twinkle his pink nose because there
was a drop of water on it.
"a little wetl" exclaimed Mrs.
Longears, why Wiggy, you're all
wet! And you're making puddle
here in the front hall. Please go
into the kitchen. Nurse Jane will
help you get dry"
So Mr.. Longears hoped out to
the kitchen, where Nurse Jane had
warm. hot fire and soon he was
quite dry and his pink nose began
to twinkle a little. Then he felt
better, except he had a pain in his
left hind leg.
Its rheumatism, I guess" he
said. MY rheumatism always hurts
when I get wet"
Then we must rub you with
ketchup," declared Mrs. Longears,
who had come out to the kitchen

Fertility
Tests Continued

Continuation of the alfalfa fer
tilization test plots is being conduc-
ted with the cooperation of farm
ers and the extension service, &C
cording to George L. Winwright, as
sistant farm advisor.
Last season several test plots
were planted to alfalfa and ferti-
lized with 18 per cent super -phos-
phate. 1t was found that fertili-
zation increased the yield per acre
so that the cost of fertilizing was
paid for by the first cutting.
It is the aim of the extension SER
vice to continue experimentation
using large number of small
plots which will involve very little
expense. Small test plots have re-
Gently been planted in Westmor-

AUTO ACCIDENT
INJURIES FATAL
TO COAST MAN

William Dad" Wickens, 3118 I'M
perial avenue, San Diego, died
early this morning at the Ell Cen
tro hospital from injuries suffered
when he was struck by car driv-
en- by Robert F. Raines, three miles
west of Dixieland october 8.
A coroner's jury this morning ex-
onerated Raines of blame, finding
that Wickens died as the result of
an unavoidable automobile acci-
dent.
Wickens, the owner of chain
of feed stores at San Diego, was on
his way to Ell Centro when he was
killed. His car had stalled on the
highway, and ne was attempting to
repair the trouble. There were no
lights on the car.
Raines, driving from San Diego
to Ell Centro, passed Wickens' car
just as the old man stepped from
behind it. Raines' car struck him,
knocking him to the pavement and
causing a fractured skull. Raines
brought Wickens to the hospital
here.

why ketchup?" asked Uncle
Wiggily.
Because ketchup is red hot
said the rabbit lady, "and anything
red hot is good for rheumatism
pains. Get the bottle, Nurse Jane,
please"
So the muskrat lady housekeep-
er and Uncle Wiggily's wife rubbed
his left hind leg with the red hot
ketchup and he felt much better
except he had to limp a little when
he hoped around the bungalow.
But that didn't matter much.
You just sit still in your easy
chair" Unkie Wig said Baby
Bunty, the orphan rabbit, "and
well bring you everything you
need Then you won't have to hop
and hurt your rheumatism.
So Bunty and the other rabbit
children, from Jingle and Jangle
to Buster and Custer, brought
Uncle Wiggily his slippers, his book
to read and his glasses and even
cup Of sassafras tea which Nurse
Jane made for him.

Mrs. Longears to her husband
when he went to bed. you'll be
too lame from your rheumatism

SO you can imagine how sur

REAPING THE HARVEST

WHERE there is smoke there must be
w fire. is one of the dependable old
sayings, and there seems to be plenty of
smoke coming from the state admins
tration at Sacramento.
Starting with the dismissal of the di-
rector of public works and his aide last
week, charges and counter charges have
been flying thick and fast, involving
other state officials.
In a statement yesterday Governor
Rolph is quoted as saying he has found
gross irregularities and strange prac-
tees, among the personnel of the state
government.
Until what are now charges have been
proved, it is dangerous and certainly un-
fair to make any accusations. But this
publication is one of several which rec
commended months ago that the COVER
nor remain more in Sacramento and re-
frain from fitting hither and yon about
the state in the role of a grand master
Of ceremonies for rodeos, picnics bath
ing beauty contests and similar nonsen-
steal affairs. The present state of af-
fairs is only what might be expected.
The governors retort to such criti-
cism has been that he is the governor of
all the people in the state and that it is
his duty to become acquainted with
them. This excuse overlookS the fact
that the people elected him for the sole
purpose of giving them an efficient state
administration, not that he might pose
in various costumes before all sorts of
gatherings.
If, as the governor says, he has dis
covered gross irregularities and strange
practices" isn't it fair to assume that
they might not have occurred had he re-
manned in close contact with his vari-
Gus subordinates and performed the
duty of oversee- to which the people
elected him?
Any "irregularities" at this time are
more serious than they might be at other
periods, because of the apparent need
for economy in public administrations.
If they have been committed as the
governor charges,t the blame does not
rest only upon the guilty parties, but
the governor himself must assume por-
tion of the responsibility. 1t is his duty
to see that such things do not occur.

DANGEROUS SPORTS

CTEPS should be taken to outlaw hunt
ing and fishing as being highly dam
gerous to life, if weekend dispatches
are to be taken at their face value.
We read much of the need of eurbing
the dangers of football, boxing, mara
thon dancing, flag-pole sitting, spaghet-
Il eating and numerous other physical
activities. Fishing and hunting, as a
general thing, escape criticism as being
eXtra-hazardous, although the latter
does come in for harsh words when some
hunter is mistaken for a deer or a
moose.
And hunting is dangerous. One of
the dispatches proves it, though this
time no hunter was shot. A hunter near
Palomar mountain shot a deer Friday
and with the enthusiasm of a sportsman,
ran forward to see the result of his
skill. His quarry proved to be doe in
stead of buck, and the hunter died in
stantly of heart attack
About the same time a fisherman was
enjoying himself at San Rafael. He
cried out to a friend on shore that he
had bite. The friend, a short time
later, noticed the boat drifting idly and
the fisherman nowhere to be seen. He
was found dead in his boat, the excite
ment of getting fish proving too much
for him.
Of course there will be no outcry
against hunting and fishing on account
of these two accidents, nor should there
be. 1t was not the hunting or fishing
that caused these two deaths, but the
physical condition of the principals.
There are times when sports result in
severe injury or death to those in good
physical condition, but quite often ath-
letic tragedies are the result of too stren-
uous indulgence in physical activity by
those who should be kept out of athle-
tics. All sports entail certain amount
of danger, but so does crossing a street
or taking a bath, and we know of no
legislation against doing these latter
things.
