DOES HE KNOW?

ptRHAPS the gloomy picture of con-
ditions painted by Montagu Norman,
governor of the Bank of England, should
not be taken too seriously by the rank
and file of US.
True it is that the governor is credit
ed with being one of the worlds finan-
clal wizards A man certainly has to
know something about finances to be the
head of the empires greatest financial
institution
Before a distinguished British audi
ence, the governor admitted that the
worlds economic condition is too diff
cult for him to attempt suggesting So
luton for it. The collapse of business,
he says, has brought about condition
which appears to him to be outside the
control of any man or any nation.
The past three years should have
taught US that our great financiers and
industrial leaders really know little
more about our troubles and their solu-
tions than the average man knows. We
can recall statements by big American
financiers, who certainly are as good at
their business as Governor Norman is,
telling US that our troubles would be
over next month, six months hence, or
next year.
If they stubbed their toes in their op-
timism, it is just as much a possibility
that Governor Norman has stubbed his
on his pessimism.
We don't believe he is right, no more
than we believed our own big financ1ers,
statements that all would be well IN
matter of a few months. The world has
been given a severe jolt all right and it
will take considerable nursing and medl-
cine to make it we'll again. One OF the
medicines needed is plenty Of optimism.
Pessimism will do the patient no good.
Weather reports are not available, but
it is possible that London was undergo
ing one of its disagreeable fogs when the
governor spoke and he probably had
bit of cold which painted the world as
a particularly nasty place, with nothing
in it but woes and tribulations.
If the governor is right and we are
wrong, our opinion will make no differ
ence, but if his outlook is wrong, we can
enjoy a laugh at least.

"All right" agreed the Fox.

on the Fox But whenever I say
THUMBS OUTP you must take
your paws out and stop eating
until I have my turn"
The Bob Cat and Wolf agreed to
this and they sat down behind a
bush to eat out of the basket. The
Bob Cat began first.
Now by this time Uncle Wiggily
and Little Bub had reached the
top OF a hill on which grew the
bush behind which the Bad Chaps
were having their lunch before
chasing the rabbit.
Did you think of the magic
spell yet, Unkie Wig?" asked Bub
yes said the rabbit, ''I have
IN a moment now"
All of a sudden a strange voice
cried:
THUMBS QUIT" And Bub, who
had slyly popped his thumb into
his mouth, took it out again.

asked Bub.

Just then the strange voice said
again: THUMBS OUT!' and
Bub, who once more, had popped

Bob Cat when they had eaten
enough of his lunch. Then Uncle
Wiggily and Bub looked behind
the bush and they saw the three
Bad Chaps. And the three Bad
Chaps saw the rabbit and the Fox
hoWled:
THUMBS OUTl HERE HE Isl"
But Uncle Wiggily and Bub ran
sc fast down hill that they got
safely home to the bungalow and
after that Bub never sucked his
thumb. The magic spell had
worked.

postage stamp a ride to the post
office and back again, I'll tell you

VOTING IMPORTATION

MORE than two weeks before the gen.
in eral election on November 8, voters
OF Imperial county will have received
full information concerning candidates,
propositions, voting time and place, as
we'll as sample ballots-all this data be-
ing mailed out today
Practically all that citizen needs to vote
intelligently is included in the informa-
ton supplied. If he is not familiar with
the various candidates, the sample ballot
will enable him to study them and mark
his ballot so that he may take it with
him to the polls on election day.
The same thing is true of the PAM
phlet which discusses the 20 propositions
upon which the voters are to act. There
is synopsis of each proposition with
arguments for and against it, as we'll as
a complete set-up of the proposition in
its entirety. The voter will have ample
time between now and election day to
study this pamphlet and if he has not
already familiarized himself with the
propositions to do so sufficiently to
gote intelligently.
Aside from the fact that all this print
ed matter costs the voter money, it con-
tains much that is of interest to him, or
should be, and il should not be thrown
into the waste basket without any atten-
ton.
There will be little or no excuse for
any voter saying on election day that he
doesn't know how to vote. The informa-
tion necessary has been supplied to him
and if he doesn't avail himself of it he
has none to blame but himself.
Maybe it is delegation from the Swiss
navy that is spying on our fleet maneuv-
ers. st

Of curing Bub of the bad habit of
sucking his thumb. Uncle Wig
gily had cured Little Bah, the rain
bow girl, of taking milk from
bottle when she was big enough to
drink it out of a cup and now the
rabbit gentleman was going to do
the same for the rainbow boy.
''What is the magic spell?" Bub
wanted to know. AS he asked the
question he looked at his thumb,
wondering whether he would dare
to pop it into his mouth just once.
But he saw Uncle Wiggily look
ing at him and did not dare.
"The magic spell. Hum, yes, 1

we must take a walk and look for

habit as much as Uncle Wiggily
wanted him to, only Bub didn't
Just seem to know how.

along over the fields and through

1t was about this time that the
Fox and Wolf, loping along the
road together, met the Bob Cat
with his silly little tail.
Hello, Goofus!" the Fox greeted
the Bob Cat, giving him sort Of
ret name. "How is Goofus?"
"Oh, pretty WELL" mewed the Bob
Cat. trying to turn around and
look at his silly little tail as he
saw the Fox and Wolf doing. But
as his tail was SO small the Bob
Cat couldn't see it and he was
much ashamed. That's why he
was called Goofus.
Have you seen Uncle Wiggily
lately?" asked the Wolf. "Eh,
Goofus?"
"Yes. saw him little while
ago." mewed the Bob Cat. "He
was going up hill and down hill
with Little Bub.
"Why didn't you get him, Coo

"Oh, there's nc use trying to
catch that rabbit when he has
Little Bub or Little Bah with

Giovanni Necchi
Sought By Parents

1t is a far cry from Italy to I'M
perial Valley, but the valley has
been singled out as the focal point
of a search for Giovanni Necchi,
young italian whose aged parents
in Italy have petitioned the Trav-
eler's Aid Society to locate his
whereabouts in America.
The last trace of the Italian was
in Ell Centro, when he wrote his
parents, Mrs. Ann Maria Masolini
Necchi and Peitro Necchi, from the
Ramona hotel in 1923.
According to information furn-
ished local Representatives of the
Travellers Aid Society by the in
ternational committee of the Red
Cross, Necchi was a mason before
coming to America, but since has
heen engaged as a farm hand.
Anyone having information rela-
tive to the whereabouts Of Necchi
may communicate with The Press
office. The information will be re-
layed to representatives of the
Travellers Aid Society.

JACOBY FAMILY
HAS IDEAL WAY
TO SEE COUNTRY

How to support a family of 10
children seems to have been solved
perfectly by Charles Jacoby, chief
inspector of the Title Guaranty
and Trust Company of Brooklyn,
IN. Y.
On June 25 Jacoby loaded him
self, Mrs. Jacoby and the 10
younger Jacobys into the family
car and started out on trip
around the country which will not
be completed until next Septem-
ber.
Not only are the Jacobys seeing
the country with all the interest
ing things that such a trip offers,
but they are doing it ION their
own, something unusual in this
sort of excursion. They have their
own camping equipment to avoid
hotel bills.
But leaving Brooklyn, N. Y. did
not mean that the younger JAG
obys, who range in age from five
to "a years of age, miss out on
school. Their school travels along
with them, sessions being held
every evening when the days trip
is ended, with Harvey, 13, acting
as instructor History and geo.
graphy, based on the places they
have seen during the day, form the
bulk of the lessons, but the three
RS are not overlooked either, and
the smaller Jacobys get their share
of this educational foundation.
At that it appears to be swell
way to go to school.
The family crossed the country
by the northern route, spending a
month in Yellowstone park, follow
cd by trip into the northwest and
thence down the coast to Los An
geles, from where they set out for
Imperial Valley. After a five day
stay here, with side trips into
Mexico, they plan to spend a
month in Arizona and proceed east
VIA the Old Spanish Trail to Flor
ida and next summer will head up
toward the north to learn all they
can about their own state of New
York, before settling down again
in Brooklyn.
Jacoby, who has done some writ
ing, has contracts with several
papers and magazines, which help
to swell the family exchequer. Liv-
ing on road has been as cheap if
not cheaper than it would have
been at home, and California off
cred the lowest cost of living of
any state visited, he said.
1t ought to be great education
for the Jacoby family, but the lit
tie Jacobys may keep the Brooklyn
truant officers busy once they
have to get back into regulation
classroom.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. = The
depression is having its effect on
the attire of campaign orators.
The word has gone out for Re-
publican speakers TO shun the full
dress suit for evening appearances
and substitute either the tuxedo
or business sun. President Hoo
yer set the fashion when he ad-
dressed the American Bar associa-
ton dressed in tuxedo rather
than the customary full dress.
There were a number of white
ties and vests on the platform, but
they belonged 10 Bar association
members.
1t is the feeling of Republican
campaign managers that, in time
when many citizens are having a
difficult time TO provide themselves
with clothes of any kind, it would
create antipathy to appear before
them in the trappingS of wealth.
The supreme court is surfeited
with traditions and customs, some
of them a trifle ridiculous.

council table each finds in front

sDom't Quote Me-
By United Pre4s :

When the court appears in the
open air, such as at the inaugura-
ton of the President, the older
members wear skull caps. Only
Stone, Roberts and Cardozo re-
fused to don them at the recent
supreme court dedication.
The oft remarked beauty of the
femininte employees of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
is explained by the fact that they
were not in civil service and the
organization is young. In other
departments civil service require
ments prevail. Many women beau
tiful in their youth have become
grey in the service. Some think be-
fore the r. F. G. ends its activi-
ties some of the present comely
damsels will have asquired grey
and spinsterish look.
At the foot of a narrow stairway
leading from the capitol basement
to the senate chamber sits silent
old man. People seldom use the
stairway for it is marked For Sen
ators Only" and senators seldom
walk upstairs anyway. They use
the elevator.
But the old man is the son of a
former chief justice of the supreme
court. He receives a pittance for
his vigil.
