up against the chair, with one end
on the kitchen floor while Nurse
Jane put away the dashboard and
little handkerchief tub. Uncle Wig
gily sat down to wait for the IRON
ing to be finished and all of a sud-
den there was loud noise outside.
Dear mel What's that?' squeaked
Nurse Jane. Have the Bad Chaps
come to bring you an adventure,
Wiggy, without waiting for you to
hop after it?"
These are no bad chaps
laughed Mr.. Longears. These are
my bunny boys and girls. They are
shouting because they are so glad
there is no school today. I sup
pose they want me to take them
, adventuring.
Into the kitchen came hopping
the forty leven little bunny boys
and girls. And when they saw the
tilted ironing board, they shouted
louder than ever.
Lets slide down hill" called
Jingle
"How?" asked Jangle, her twin
sister.
| ION the ironing board of course,
F, said Jingle. THANK you so much
Daddicums," she said to Uncle Wig
gily, for making us such a nice
ironing board hill"
Eyes, thank you! Thank you
Thank you'll" cried Buster, Custer
Buster, Spingle, Spangle and Baby
Bunty. They crowded around the
ironing board and Jingle said:
Baby Bunty must have the first
turn, as she's an orphan"
"Oh, yes!" said all the others
! kindly.
So Bunty climbed up on the
chair and then she sat down or
the sloping ironing board and she
slid all the way to the floor. Ano
then Jingle, Jangle, Tingle, Tangle
Buster, Custer and all the others
took turns getting on Uncle Wig
gily's ironing board and sliding
down.
ooh, what fun! What jolly funP
they cried.
Then Nurse Jane, who had gone
| up SLdlrS, came IN 10 IRON Uncle
Wiggily's handkerchiefs but she
couldn't get near the ironing boart
as there was such a procession oil
little rabbits sliding down it. Anc
when she told them to go outside
and play, Baby Bunty said:
Its more fun in here Come on
Unkie Wigl" So the rabbit gentle
man himself slid down the ironing
board hill and he had as much
! fun as the children. And by the
| time they had become tired of play
ing that game, it was too late II
iron any handkerchiefs.
But had jolly adventure any
how" said Mr.. Longears. And may.
be if had gone out the Fox nigh
have caught me-"
So it all happened for the bes
and if the airplane doesn't knocl
the chimney off the roof for th'
puppy dog to play with, I'll tel
you about Uncle Wiggilys Gran
berries.

been unable for weeks to extradite
Samuel insult, ST., former Chicago
utilities magnate, from Athens be-
cause the treaty was not in effect.
Its PRONUNCIATION meant that Insult
could be brought back here.
So, for days, Washington news
papermen had watched Stimson's
office for the arrival of the Greek
minister. The state department,
however, wanted to keep the ex-
change of notifications secret until
insult could be arrested. Conse-
quently Stimson and Simpoulos
met secretly in an obscure office
on the third floor of the state de-
partment, rather than in the sec
retary's suite, and put the treaty
in order. Not even Stimson's own
office force knew about it.

BE SURE TO VOTE

A final non-partlsan appeal is made to-
n day by The Press to the voters of
Imperial county to turn out as nearly
100 per cent as possible and cast their
ballots at the polls in the general cleo
ton next Tuesday.
The voter who deliberately remains
away from the polls at any time, is not
doing his duty as a good citizen, and in
an election so vitality important to the
entire country as next Tuesdays is, all
who call themselves citizens, should per-
form the duty and privilege that citizen
ship confers upon them.
For those residing long distance
from their voting precincts, ample means
for accommodation will be provided.
Supporters of the Republican and DEM
ocratic parties and of various candidates,
will undoubtedly have cars for the use
of voters as is always the case at cleo
lions.
The voter who does not wish to iden-
tify himself with any political party or
candidate, and yet wishes to get to the
polls, will be accommodated by Boyce
Aten Post, American Legion, with which
The Press and the Legion Auxiliary are
cooperating to maintain a non-partisan,
non-political car service during the day
for the convenience of voters.
By calling 693, private number IN
stalled in The Press office for this pur~
pose. the voter desiring transportation
can obtain it without obligation in any
way, either financial or political. Cars
will be maintained by the Legion and
Auxiliary at The Press office during the
hours the polls are open, so that drivers
NAV be sent out promptly for voters
wishing transportation. The Press and
the Legion organizations urge voters to
use this service which is nothing more
than a community accommodation.
But whether this service or political
service is used, The Press does urge all
voters, regardless of party or favorlte
candidates, to make certain that they
vote. Vote as you please but be sure you
vote, and ask your neighbor if he has
voted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. U.D =
Theodore G. Joslin, who did not
make the western campaign swing
with President Hoover's other Sec
retaries, perhaps will be the en-
tire American government between
now and election day. For that
you have the word of Secretary OF
State Stimson, speaking, however,
in a facetious vein.
Stimso nsaid ne planned TO go to
his New York home for the week
end. President Hoover and two
secretaries, most of the cabinet Of

are out campaigning.
So Stimson said he had been
scouting around to find out who

UNCLE WIGGILY'S IRONING

handkerchief.

HOW YOU VOTE

CTRANGE as it may seem, none of I'M
~ perial county's several thousand vot-
ers are going to cast their ballots for
either President Hoover or Governor
Roosevelt, on next Tuesday.
1t came as something of surprise to
The Press to be advised that many vot-
ers thought they would vote directly for
either Hoover or Roosevelt, and were
greatly worried because they could find
neither name on the sample ballot sent
to them by the county clerk.
The voting on next Tuesday will be
for presidential electors, of which there
are % in California, one for each con-
gresham and senator apportioned to
this state.
There have been % electors chosen
by each of the political parties appear
ing on the ballot: Republican, Demo-
cratic, Socialist, Prohibitionist and Lib
erty.
The voter casts his vote for the group
of electors he favors. 1t is the electoral
college, composed of these electors,
which in reality elects the president and
Vice-president.
Using the Republican party as an ex-
ample, if the individual voter, wishes to
vote for President Hoover, he marks his
ballot in the square opposite the middle
name in the group of electors which
records his intention of voting for all
the electors in that particular group.
On the other candidates for office,
congressional, legislative and on down
the line, the voter follows the ordinary
ballot method familiar to all.
Voters should familiarize themselves
with the location on the sample ballot
of the particular group of electors they
wish to support, so that they will know
just where to find this particular group
on the regular ballot next Tuesday.
Propositions will be found at the ex-
IRENE right of the ballot, with space for
Eyes" or mo" vote according to the
wish of the citizen.
If the voter has any doubts or wish
es additional information, he should OBJ
tain this before election day so as not
to cause delays at the polling places.

quired Titles in Trail of
Spanish Triumphant.
Hy the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
PANAMA CITY, February 5.-Na-
thaniel Hill, who grew up in the Pan
ANA of the earlier days and dreamed
of the forgotten gold mines OF the old
conuuiStadores, today seems in way
to reap a late fortune from them.
Early this week Hill, now 81 years
old, sold the right to one of these now
vaterlogged mines to the BrltlSh-Pan-
ANA Corporation for $4,000. The com
pany also has options from him on l9
others.
Hill came to Panama in 1873 from
California with his parents. His father
set up as a merchant in Panama City.
For the boy, who buried his nose IN
tales Of the golden, SWaShbuCkling days
of the Spanish conquerors, it was being
on the spot Of real romance.
Learns of ld-Digging.
In these tales he learned of the mines
of Veraguas, from which the COnqutS-
t2dores dug the gold which daZZled the
court of Spain and the wohle Of Eu-
rope. Out of the mines came the solid
gold affairs Of the old churches Of Pan
ANA.
Hill went back to the United States
and went to college at Portland, Greg.
He returned to Panma when % and
went to Veraguas He became mer-
chant there and located the mines,
long abandoned and filled with water.
Titles to 30 Mines.
He secured the titles to 90 of them,
Including the Lalajilla mine and the
Margaja mine, now reported reich veins
of ore These two he made taX-tree
forever by paying Is years taxes at
once. The Margaja mine is the one he
sold to the British-American Corpora
ton.
He married Panama girl at Vera
guas and now has four daughters and
three sons. One of his sons, Henry,
studied at Columbia University, New
York.
Mr.. Hill lives at Colon now. He
served there as customs appraiser for
10 years and retired in 1928.
