Uncle Wiggily il a low voice.
Though he was far from his

or Nurse Jane to konW that he was
going to be curled.

lady.
How do you do?" grunted Mrs.
TWistytail, and Uncle Wiggily ana
Mr.. Butter, who was also an uncle
to some little goats, took off their
tall, silk hats and bowed politely.
Lovely weather. said Mr..
Longears.
"Fine!" grunted the lady pig.
Then she looked at Mr. Butter and
said: How lovely and curly your
hair is. Where do you have it
done?'
"Ha, Hal" bleated Uncle Butter,
his chin whiskeIs bobbing up and
down. Il don't curl my hair, il
has a natural wave"
Isn't it nice!' said Mrs. Twisty-
tail. MY husband has 8 curly tail
and so have my little boy pigs,
but their hair is very straight. I

connection with the robbery.
W. S. Keating and George Evans,
who removed the prisoners 10 the
sheriff's office. advanced the opin-
ion after questioning them they
had nothing to do with the rob-
bery. Both denied any knowledge
OF It.
They are ned today, however,
for further investigation, partly
because Sowders admitted having
some trouble in Sapulpa, Okla,

they wished Sowders held for them.

en- Still he could not help feeling
a little bit proud Of himself because
of the way Mrs. TWistytail ad-
mired him And she hardly locked
at Uncle Wiggily whose fur was as
straight as her own hair.
ITS lovely to be curly Crunted
the pig lady as she wadd.ed oil
while Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. But
ter walked over the fields ana
through The woods seeking adven-
lures. Mr.. Butter noticed that
Uncle Wiggily would look at him
self every time they came to a
little frozen pond, the ice OF which
was like mirror.
What's the matter?' asked the
goat. Are you looking TO see If
your pink, twinkling nose is
frozen?"
oh no. Uncle Wiggily slowly
answered. I was just wondering
why my hair, or fur, doesn't curl.
I never knew how stylish you
were with your curly hair, Butter.
"Nonsense!" bleated the goat,
trying not TO feel too proud
oh, but mean it" went on the
rabbit. Did you get curly hair by
eating carpenter shaYings or sWal-
lowing corkscreWs or anything like
that, tell me?'
NO. it's just natural said Mr..
Butter. "Of course, there are
places where one can have ones
hair and fur culed, I suppose"
Are there? Where?" asked
Uncle Wiggily sort Of eager like.
He was thinking what a fuss Mrs.
Twistytail had made over the
goats curls.
oh, yesle bleated Uncle But
ter. There are beauty shops and
such like"
"But l thought only lady ami
mails went 10 those" objected Mr..
Longears.
Sometimes I have seen Old Per-
ciyal, the dog, going in TO have his
hair curled,' said the goat
oh, then it would be all right
for me, wouldn't it?' asked the
rabbit gentleman.
Why not?" asked the goat.

EROM white to gray, from good to falr.
After three years IS one OF the lew
White spots ON the business map OF the
United States, Imperial Valley now finds
itself joining the great majority.
A little dot in eastern Texas has the
distinction of being the only white spot
on the map
The valleys record was good one.
1t held It's place long after other sections
of the country, supposed to be much more
prosperous, were going through business
depression.
1t is no cause for alarm or consterna-
ton that the valley has slipped bit.
Being a leader is nice but it is difficult
task. Every champion eventually loses
his crown, but even that does not pre-
vent him from staging a comeback.
The past year the country saw one of
the greatest football records broken when
the Notre Dame team, undefeated dur
ing three seasons, finally stubbed its toe
and took a trouncing.
1t was agreed on all sides chat it was
q good thing for football and for Notre
Dame. The tension of maintaining a
clean slate was getting too difficult for
the football players and the break in
their victories came as a positive relief.
The defeat was not considered the end
OF successful football at Notre Dame.
1t may never again establish such rec
ord but it will always have bang-up foot
ball teams.
SO it is with Imperial Valley We may
never again go three years without los
ing our pale complexion, but we can al
ways be trying to get it back and that
alone is certain to make us mighty sue
cessful community.

William J. Barlow Takes a Fall Out of Hartford
 Editors
QUOTES GLADSTONE

It is refreshing to see some body who knows both sides of the difference between Great Britain and Ireland drop into the papers and state the facts. The following communication appearing in the Hartford Courant is enlightening: To the Editor of The Courant:-
 'T have read the editorials In both of the papers of Hartford in reference to the Anglo-Irish im- passe. It seemed to me and many others who had the luck, good or bad. to have first seen the light amongst the hills of Ireland that, with six or eight million people out of work, we had trouble enough of our own without bor- rowings any from the British em- pire.
 If Great Britain wishes to in- dulge her predilection for blunder- ing by starting a tariff war on Ire- land, that is her lookout. As for the land annuities, Great Britain can jolly well rub them off the Slate and still be ahead of the game by great many millions. From 1901 Co 1891, she had over taxed Ireland the sum of 110,- VVv,VVV pouHuS SITrhH6' dCSotu uh6 to w. E. Gladstone, who was then premier, and from 1891 to the outbreak of the World war, she has been receiving forty millions in revenue from Ireland and ex- pending twelve per annum for the government of Ireland. She has already collected her pound of flesh, regardless of any course Mir De Valera or anybody else may pursue."
