Eskimo Baskets

Send to your friends in the States real Eskimo made basket for Christmas. They are very handy for sewing service or as catch-alls, as well, being highly ornamental. We have a contract with an Arctic trader requiring us to take a cer- tain quantity every spring This year we did not sell the usual number and this surplus we are going to put on sale at very at tractive prices $200 and up.

 Ray Campbell Close
 James Campbell, Democrat, and L. " Ray, Republican are run ming head and head in the Third Division for Senator. The latter hes a 93-vote margin but this is apt to be wiped cut by the Alaska Peninsula vote, which is indicated as going Democratic.
 The four Democratic candidates for House seats are leading. Jos eph Holman and Warren A. Taylor have safe majorities. James Pat terson and H. H.

Second Division, but that is the smallest of the four Judicial Divisions. If the Democrats do not carry it they will poll enough votes in it to make it of little effect in the final results. The Demo- crats will be in full control of the Territory Alaska has voted to participate in the new deal promised by President Roosevelt
 President Roosevelt has expressed his friendliness to this Territory and his hope that he might next March work out in connection with the Demo- cratic Delegate from Alaska a comprehensive AL askan program. That that Delegate Dimond and the new Administration will early in the new Administration agree upon an Alaskan program and put 1t into the statutes of the country. That is a promising situation for this Territory It is the most promising condition since the acquisition of this Territory by the United States. It presents 8 very hopeful situation.

CHAPTER AS. FERDINAND RETURNS

FERDINAND RETURNS
 The storm bowling about her ears. Nan had walked half way thrown around the house. She tried the latch of the kitchen door It gave.
 Standing in the black silence of the room, she was startled by the stmdent sound of a telephone bell. It was not in the kitchen; she groped toward the sound She was in a passageway.
 She looked behind her; the kitchen was in yellow twilight that rapidly grew brighter. She found a door across the passage from the room in which the bell was ringing, and slipped through
 Nan saw Robert Leonard turn into the room across the passage, carefully carrying a kerosene lamp. The ringing stopped. Through the crack left between the door and the jarnb Nan heard an angry ejaculation; an interchange of words. She had no picture of Rosamund, worried by the storm and the consequent high tide, ur- gently demanding that Leonard take Jervis up into the cellar.
 Leonard said: Don't be a foolp then Anything else?"
 Nan waited for nothing more. She had seen a dim light in the kitchen-it came from an open door in a far corner She slipped back down the passage, down the back steps into the cellar. In the middle of the cellar was a barrel upon which stood lighted candle, and in the corner was the raised lid of a trap door.
 The inner monvicion that had brought Nan to this cellar did not desert her now. She took her from her pocket, and without hesitation, plunged through the trap door. She was so weary from her battle with the storm that her hand shook a little. She walked rapidly down the slight slope; the path grew sleeper and she came to feel the nearing ap- proach of the sea.
 A sharp turn to the right, and Nan saw about five yards away, JerviS lying as she had seen him lie in her dream.
 At the same moment JerWs opened his eyes and pulling on the bar, sat up. He saw not Rosa nund, but one of those dreams which come out of the darkness and the silence. His wrist was pound to the bar with a handker- chief. He fumbled at the knot, and Nan went down on her knees and put her hands on his and neld them fast.
 He said, ''Nan" and she said Jervis," and all at once it wasn't l dream any longer.
 Nan he said. "Nanl~ And Nan put up her face, and he kissed Ter through the bars with a des- oerate straining towards life; and ove, and happiness, and all those other everyday things which were II jeopardy.
 Then the black swell lifted again and washed right over the sill. Nan caught at the paddock with both hands.
 Its no use," said Jervis-"hes ,aken the key" Then, quickly, How did you come here?"
 T don't know" said Nan. q came. I saw you in dream" She added after a moment. There s a storm"
 Its driving the tide. What is t-thunder or wind?'

 We must get out of here" said Jervis. You must get out and get help. You're not shut in?"
 No"
 Then you must get hold of the Leonard's armed. Is he Il the houSe?"
 Yes-telephoning. He came up ut Of the passage and left the floor open"
 You must goI."
 She leaned toward him, and hey kissed again.

The Democratic victory in yesterdays election is the most sweeping since the election of James Monroe in 1920. It exceeds in its proportion those of Hoover, Coolidge and Harding. It is far greater than that of Franklin Pierce in 1852 when he carried all but four States. It justifes the pre- dicton Of National Chairman James A. Farley who declared he refused to concede single State to the opposition It almost a clean sweep

With a Glitter, clatter and rattle,
the rabbit gentleman shelled the
kernels off the cobs, blowing out
the dust and bits of chaff. Over
the stove hung the wire pop corn

where it had been hung in the
spring when the last Of the corn OF
the winter before had been pop

Nov for some funl" laughed
Uncle Wiggily. He poured enough
of the dried kernels of corn into
the pepper to cover the bottom.
Then he fastened down the wire
cover.
why do you Go that?" asked
Little Bub. Are you afraid the
corn will jump out?"
That's Just what it would do II

rabbit gentleman. wait, I'll show
you" Uncle Wiggily unfastened the
cover and held the pepper over the
stove. Slowly the kernels began to
swell with the heat which was
making the water inside them boil
lust as water in the kettle boils
Only, of course, there is only a
little water in each kernel OF corn
In a short time there were slight
cracking sounds from the pepper
which Uncle Wiggily jiggled to and
fro over the stove so the corn
couldn't sit still in one hot place
long enough to burn.
All of a sudden there was a louo
"popl" and a little kernel turned
big in an instant, swelling cui
white like a snow flake. And moi
only did the kernel pop open bui
it jumped right out of the pepper
into the air.
"Oh, how funnyl" shouted Littlt
Bub. He caught the white kerne
as it fell and ate it. Then, before
Uncle Wiggily could fasten thu

nels burst and jumped out. Ant

The heat bursts the kernels so they

the corn is almost ready TO eat"
why isn't it ready as soon as
it is popped?" asked Bub who was
walking with Uncle Wiggily down
to the far end of the bunny's gar
den.
We'll, of course, you could eat
the pop corn then if you wanted
to-" said Mr.. Longears to the rain

ADJUSTMENT NEEDED

THE stand taken yesterday by Judge
l Frank H Kerrigan, in the federal dis
trict court at San Francisco, indicates
the need of prompt adjustment of the
prohibition question to prevent our
courts becoming more of farce than
they quite frequently are.
The comment is made with no inten-
ton of casting reflection on Judge Ker-
rigan, whose integrity is not to be ques-
toned. But in passing sentence on a
prisoner before HIM on a liquor charge
The Judge took into consideration the
expression of popular sentiment as
given in Tuesdays election, both as APP
piled to the Wright act and the election
of wet candidates all over the coun-
try.
The court asserted he took the will of
the people into consideration in judging
the case before him. He found the &C
cused guilty-not for violating the liquor
law but for perjury committed during
the course of the trial.
Judge Kerrigan cannot be criticized
for taking the will of the people into
consideration. IN the final analysis it
is the people, theoretically at least, who
are supposed to rule the country, and to
Say ION Jul laws snail bS aA4e'SAA Gu"
interpreted.
Need for prompt action on the prOhlbl-
ton law appears to be imperative.
In discussing this matter one cannot
help but express admiration for the at
titude taken by the editor of the CaleX-
leo Chronicle. An avowed dry, Ran
dali Henderson declares that rightly or
wrongly the people expressed desire
on Tuesday for liquor. 1t convinced him
that the sooner the sale of liquor is leg
allied, the better it will be for the coun-
try as a whole, and that the noble eX-
pertinent" of prohibition by law is
failure.
The editor has not changed his own
dry views but bows to the will of the
majority.
He argues that the W. G. T. U. and
other temperance organizations can do
their most effective work by continuing
the educational program which has been
more or less neglected since the 18th
amendment was adopted.
That is what the liquor question has
always needed-education The old sys-
TEN of saloons was wrong, there is no
sound argument against it. The past II
years have served to prove that prohibi-
ton by law is a failure. There is a
happy medium between the two and all
good citizens, wet" and dry, should
be united in an effort to discover it and
put it into practical operation.

NO HELP FOR
RED GROUP

The Press prints herewith let
/ ter from the commander of Boyce
Aten Post, American Legion, in
connection with the proposed march
of radical elements which is sched-
uled to pass through Imperial VAL
! ley next week:
During the week of November IA
there is scheduled to go through
Imperial Valley a so called hunger
march. This march is directed by
/ the national committee of the I'm
employed Council, an organization
sponsored and directed by the
Communist party.
There are undoubtedly large
number of worthy men in this
march who are in no way connect
ed with the Communist party and
/ would be ready to fight If accused
of such connection-these are men
who for their own good and their
countrys good. should be discour-
aged in this march or any similar
! one.
This march is part of plan by
which a large number of people
/ are to converge upon Washington
| December T. They are proceeding
| in eight columns, the one we are
concerned with being column num-
! Der two.
| They have received orders not to
use any funds collected for the
purchase of food or lodging, but
! all funds are to be turned over
! to the national treasurer of their
organization.
It is definitely known to the au-
thorities that this is one of SER
I les of moves looking toward world
revolution under the direction OF
! Communist organizers.
The American Legion urges the
citizens of Imperial Valley to join
with them in discouraging this
march or any similar one from
coming to Imperial Valley. Un-
der no circumstances should dona-
lions of any kind be made, ano
people should be discouraged from
helping them in any way.
The Legion is making plea fol
all unemployed persons to stay IL
their own community where rela'
tives and friends can assist. AL
parts of the country have theil
own unemployed situations to dea
with. Nothing can be gained by
travelling from one part of the
country to another. Now is the
time for all American citizens Il
join hands and help their COM
mi Aities, states and the nation
back to prosperity.
