WORTH CONSIDERING

CUGGESTION by Sheriff Campbell,
~ that men convicted of misdemeanors
might in some cases be permitted to re-
main at liberty during the week, provid-
ing they have jobs, and be locked up over
the weekend, is a radical suggestion, and
like most radical ideas is likely to draw
more scoffs than words of praise
But it is an idea that has plenty of
merit. There is no disputing the fact
that many men who can take care of
themselves in splendid shape during the
week, slip out of control over the week
ends.
They grow restless with spare time on
their hands and seek some means to re-
lieve the tension. Only too often the
means chosen is trip across the border,
or a visit to the nearest bootlegger
There are, of course, such things as boot
leggers in Imperial county.
With the best of intentions these men
seek a drink or two, which more often
than not grows into many more than
that, and the result is they run afoul of
the law. Few of them have the money
to pay fine and therefore go to jail
They remain in idleness at the jail un-
til their term is served. or they may do
a little work on the road gang In the
meantime, their families are the chief
sufferers. Youngsters may be hungry,
merchants may be forced to wait pay
ment for supplies furnished. Nobody
benefits by the arrangement, not even
the county, which is put to the expense
of feeding the prisoner, and in some
cases also feeding his family.
Sheriff Campbell's plan could not be
applied in every case. There is no doubt
that it could be applied and would work
cut most satisfactorily in many. We have
county parole board, which could pass
on the merits of a case and decide wheth-
er or not it is one in which the parole
plan during the week, could be extend
ed
Placing man in jail, feeding him and
giving him shelter, is not punishment.
1t is punishment for the family more
than it is for the offender
The sheriff's idea should not be dis
carded as impractical, just because it
bit of progress the human race has made
is somewhat revolutionary, or because
1t is not being done elsewhere. Every
bit of progress the human race has made

UNCLE WIGGILY'S ICE

I'll hop along a little way until I
get to the place where the water
falls over the rocks. And there
I'll get my shower bath. I wish

me about it
Uncle Wiggily had been hopping
through the woods, thinking what
hot day it was, when, from behind
a bush, a voice advised him to take
shower bath at the waterfall.
But Uncle Wiggily didn't know who
it was and for a good reason. 1t
was the Bob Cat who had sent the
rabbit to the waterfall and once the
bunny was there the Bob Cat and

SHORTRIDCE TO
GET SUPPORT OF
MANY SECTIONS

In a message received by Robert
B. Whitelaw, county chairman of
the Shortridge campaign, Senator
Samuel M. ShOrtridge, now cam
paigning again in Southern Cali
fornia, expresses his confidence in
denomination.
"A matter of collateral interest in
Imperial county," said Whitelaw,
''is the solid endorsement of the
poultry and dairy interests of Mar
in and Sonoma counties for Sena-
tor Shortridge. From Petaluma
comes a resolution which states:
Insofar as the prosperity of all
the people of Sonoma and Marin
counties are concerned the tariff
issue is more important than all
other issues combined.
No candidate other than Sena-
tor Shortridge can be SO safely
and surely trusted when it comes
TO the interests of the California
poultrymen and dairymen. Do not
let momentary hysteria over pro-
hibition reform befog the real is
sue of the present senatorial cam
paign'."
Sentiment among Republicans
in San Francisco county is rapidly
centering on Samuel M. Shortridge
for denomination, writes r. c. Har-
bison, editor of the Sun. There is
ample reason for this support. The
of Phil Swing from the
senatorial race released many thou
sands of Republicans who were
committed to him because Of his
close personal relationship to his
old congressional district. These
voters are turning to Shortridge on
straight Republican lines and in
Of the important service
he has rendered in tariff matters
that are so vital to this section of
the state. The southern counties
would receive far more effective

But Uncle Wiggily didn't know
this. He thought he was just going
to have a cool shower bath at the
waterfall. He didn't know the Fox
and Bob Cat were going to the
same place by a short cut, there
to hide behind a tree and pop out
at him as soon as he was under
the shower.
That was a clever trick of yours,
Bobbie," chuckled the Fox as the
two Bad Chaps sneaked through
the woods to get to the waterfall
first.
"Yes, I guess it was" mewed the
Bob Cat. "As soon as I heard that
rabbit complaining about the heat
I sent him to the shower bath"
And after we catch him, we'll
take a shower bath ourselves" said
the Fox.
"a good ideap mewed the Bob
Cat.
Uncle Wiggily was nearing the

splashing of the water as it tumbled
over the rocks and he knew that
once he stood beneath the falling
drops he would be very cool.
But, all of a sudden, Mr.. Long
ears heard a rustling noise in the
bushes and he stopped twinkling
his pink nose and stood still.
This may be dangerl" thought
the bunny uncle. Though haven't
seen the Fox nor the Bob Cat for
a long time, they may be coming
now. just when want to take
shower bath, I must be CAREFUL"
Uncle Wiggily jumped behind a
tree and looked out. The rustling
in the bushes sounded louder now,
but Mr.. Longears was very glad
when he saw his jolly, fat pig
friend, Mr.. Twistytail, and none
Of the Bad Chaps. Out jumped the
rabbit eXclaiming:

What are you doing here?".

with me, Twisty, and get cool?"
That's a good idea agreed the
fat pig. But why don't you first
come with me? I know a better

Injured Worker To
Get Compensation

Members of the Industrial Acct
dent commission this week found
that Arthur Van Lob was entitled
to compensation sought from H.
Thomas for the loss of his left arm
while engaged in working for
Thomas on an Imperial Valley
ranch.
He was awarded s7.41 a week be-
ginning April u, 1882 and until
232 weekly payments have been
made. This, according to the award
filed at the county clerks office
yesterday, will total S171912. Van
Lob lost his arm and thus was
permanently disabled, he declared.
The commission also found that
the injured man was entitled to a
reasonable amount for medical ex-
penses and stated the commission
would fix the amount upon request
if the matter could not be settled
by agreement. The case against
Mark Rose, named as a co-defend-
ant with Thomas, was dismissed.

BEDTIME STORIES

"HowP" asked the rabbit gen.
tleman.
by eating some ice cream cones, y
grunted the pig. "I'll tell you what
we can do. You come with me
and I'll buy you an ice cream cone,
or, maybe two. Then you can take
me to your shower BATH"
"All right" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. "That will be fine. But where
can we get ice cream cones?"
There's a Monkey Doodle gen.
tleman with an ice cream cone
wagon just around the turn in the
woodland path" grunted the pig.
Come on, it isn't farI"
So Uncle Wiggily, before taking
a shower bath at the waterfall,
went with the pig and had an ice
cream cone, strawberry, if you must
know what flavor. Mr.. Twistytail
ate two cones and said:
Nov for a shower bath!v Back
the two friends started for the
waterfall But, meanwhile, the Bob
Cat and Fox had reached the same
place and hid behind trees. But
the Bad Chaps saw nothing Of
Uncle Wiggily, who, of course, was
off getting an ice cream cone.
The Fox and the Bob Cat waited
and waited and waited, but Uncle
Wiggily and the pig were taking
their time and, after while the
Fox said he guessed Uncle Wigglly
wasn't coming to take a bath.
MOI Snarled the Bob Cat. HE
fooled mel My trick didn't work.
Then the two Bad Chaps, tired of
waiting, ran away and right after
that, feeling fine and cool from the
ice cream cones, Uncle Wiggly and
his fat pig gentleman friend had
a lovely shower bath. So everything
was all right. And if the chocolate
cake doesn't go to sleep in the
onion bed and wake up a potato
salad, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily's drinking fountain.

support from Shortridge than from
any other candidate"
Senator Shortridge has saved
the theatre going public throughout
the country hundreds of thousands
of dollars, is the text of a resolu-
ton adopted at huge meeting of
theatre and studio managers and
movie stars in Hollywood. This is
due to the fight he made on the
floor of the senate to prevent the
excise tax from applying to tickets
selling at 10 cents to 40 cents. The
levy applies only to tickets selling
above 40 cents"
In a message to his headquarters
the senator expresses the opinion
that the Importance of the prohib-
ition question has been nullified in
this campaign, by the fact that the
resolution for change in the 18th
amendment will be in all probabili-
ty passed by the present congress
within the next four months at the
December session.

lIweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can't do it. They only move the

Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a
thick, bad taste and your breath is foul

aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned.

! papers throughout the country, is the
! account of a motorman's bravery in saw
ing the life of a little girl near Lorain.
Ohio, yesterday.
AS his heavy electric train sped around
a curve at terrific speed, Bill Lang, the
elderly motorman, saw what he thought
was bundle on the track. Then, to his
horror, he recognized it as a little girl
Setting his brakes and taking every
precaution for the safety Of his train. he
climbed out on the fender. scooped the
child from the track, crawled back into
his cab and speeded his train into the
city to obtain medical attention for the
little girl who had been slightly bruised
and cut by the force with which Lang
had pulled her up against the fender
After leaving the child in the hospital,
Lang returned to his train and drove it
back on its return trip. Those who
sought to congratulate him on his action
could not find him. He was back on the
job.
To many of us, this is only an insig-
nificant incident in the lives of millions
of people. To the parents of the little
girl, however, it is the biggest thing in
the world. And were it the readers child,
it would loom equally important.
