PUBLIC INVITED
TO PARTICIPATE
in BIG PARADE

Every store and business house
in Ell Centre, whether wholesale
or retail, should be represented in
the industrial parade to be held
next Friday night at 7:30 o'clock
as the opening event of Ell Gen.
tros annual fall opening" states
Massey j. Horton, chairman of the
fall opening committee of the To-
cal chamber of commerce MANY
telephone calls have been received
at chamber headquarters already
about the parade and the number
of persons who have asked for de-
tails, would indicate that this
years parade will be even larger
than that held last year, which
was of record size for this city"
Horton explains that the parade
is primarily industrial and it is not
necessary to decorate cars for this
event. Every industry, however,
is asked to have its personal and
delivery cars and trucks in the
parade and there is no limit to the
number any one concern may en-
ter Last year there was some
question about drivers of trucks
who had worked all day coming
out at night for the parade but it
was found that the drivers were
as a whole willing to donate this
extra hour to an event which is

tro business houses were we'll rep
resented in the mile-long string of
cars. The parade will start
promptly at tbs and will end at
s o'clock to enable truck drivers
who are making a night trip to
the coast to get started on their
way without delay.
One section of the parade, how
ever, is to be set aside for floats
and decorated cars, because of the
number of individuals and firms
who have signified their intentions
of entering such a GER. Those
who wish to prepare a float or

"Oh, yes I SHALL" answered Lit
tie Bub, who was named Bubble
because he looked like a rainbow in
soap bubble.
Uncle Wiggily picked up many
sprays of red leaves and Bub
picked up few sprays of red leaves
and together they hoped on
through the woods. They stopped
at Little Bulbs house to tell his
mother he was no longer lost and
she said he might go with Uncle
Wiggily.
"Oh, what lovely red leavesl"
exclaimed Mrs. Longears, when she
saw the sprays. They will beauti-

arrive. Soon the dining room looked
like woodland bower, gay with
the red maple leaves.

Nonsense! How can you?" ask

Out of the red leaves" said the
rabbit gentleman. Come, Bub, you
whistle and I'll make music from
the red leaves" SO Bub whistled
and then Uncle Wiggily gave his
wife and the animal ladies a mu-
sic surprise. For sounding with the
whistle of Bub came the chirp of
crickets, the singing of grasshop-
pers and the funny melody of the
Katy-did bugs. So there was sweet
music for the party.
"Oh, however did you do it, Wig

again.

Uut he popped

The rabbit gentleman hoped to
the woods, looking for some sprays
of oak leaves, or red maple leaves,
or purple dogwood leaves. The
first he saw were some branches
and sprays of red maple leaves on
the ground. He was about to pick
them up to take home when, all
of a sudden, the bunch of red
leaves rustled, moved and then
jumped right at the rabbit gentle
man.
why, this is very surprising" ex-
claimed Mr.. Longears. Il wonder
what made those leaves Jump"
IT did" cried a voice which came
from within the leaves, and then
the rabbit called: Little Bub!'
Yes, here I am, said the boy
who had red cheeks, blue eyes and
golden hair. Out he popped, laugh
ing and dancing up and down.
We'll, I'm glad I have found

mother has been looking for you,
Little Bub. Where have you been?"
II have been here in the woods

little boy. 1.-THE wind blew down a
branch of these red leaves and I
hid under them, pretending they
were my tent. And then 1 heard
you coming along so I thought I
would surprise you.
well, you surprised me all
right" said Uncle Wiggily with
laugh. II thought it might be the
Bob Cat under those red leaves"
NO said Little Bub and he
laughed again. Il haven't seen the
Bob Cat since I squirted him with
water from my toy fire engine. Did
you hear him yowJ and see him

Il did" said Uncle Wiggily. you
were a brave little boy, Bub. But

leaves to my wife,
May 1 come with you to see

asked Little Bub.
You may after we stop and
tell your mother you are found,
said the rabbit. But all am going

GEORGES BUSINESS?

DEPORT of the 1882 grand Jury.
IL printed in the news columns of this
issue, is devoted in great part to criti-
cism of Imperial Irrigation district ex-
penses, but states definitely that under
the laws governing operation of irriga-
ton districts a very wide latitude in au-
thority Is accorded the directors of the
district, and that it would be extremely
difficult, II not impossible, to convict
any district official or employee of IT,
regularity IN expense accounts.
If such laXness as the report COM
ments upon exists in the operation OF
district affairs, the law should by all
means be altered to provide a sufficient
check upon expenditures, and such al
iteration should have the support and
cooperation of district officials.
This latitude enjoyed by the district
officials must have been known for some
time past. Certainly it must have been
known at least six years ago, when ac-
tions against the directors were dis
missed in the superior court. If change
in the law would provide better con-
duct of district financial affairs. it is
remarkable that some steps have not
been taken in that time to provide
curb. Apparently it was Georges"
business, George" being nobody.
The report and its recommendations
will provide few days furry, per-
haps, but what steps will be taken, if
any, to change the law so that district
affairs may be conducted in a more bus
inesslike manner, particularly with ref
erence to expense accounts? Who will
take the steps?
In connection with the report, which
shows that the grand jury devoted much
time and energy to the affairs of the
county (that statement being made sim
cerely and not sarcastically) it is inter-
esting to note its comment on violations
of the alien land law.
1t states: There is no doubt in the
minds of this jury that the alien land
law is being violated repeatedly, and we
suggest to the incoming grand jury that
this work be followed up
The 1930-31 grand jury contained the
following paragraph. There is no
doubt in the minds of this jury that the
alien land law is being repeatedly brok-
en- in this valley, but due to the indiffer-
ent feeling toward sustaining this law,
we doubt the wisdom of spending any
money in attempting convictions that
are not likely to be sustained"
Apparently this law is as difficult or
impossible of enforcement as the eigh-
teenth amendment to the fed 'SS4~an-
stitution. Ar

welcome to participate. Horton
states that the parade is not linn
tied to business houses, but indi-
yiduals who wish to do so should
enter cars, either with signs or
decorations in keeping with their
vocation. Last year a local dane
ing school, Central Union high
school, a contractor, and many
others not in retail business enter
ed decorated cars and added much
to the appearance and interest of
the parade. Nor is the parade
limited to automobiles, for horses
or bicycles are equally welcome,
and if one prefers, one may join on

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
THE LYTTON REPORT

WITH the submission of the Lytton re-
w port to the League of Nations, it re-
mains to be seen what effect, if any. its
recommendations will have on Japan.
The report was filed by a neutral
commission headed by Lord Lytton of
Great Britain, which was named follow
ing the Sino-Japanese clash last year at
Shanghai.
1t denounced Japan's course in the
Manchurian military campaign of last
year, which resulted ultimately in the
establishment of Manchukuo, an alleged
independent state, though openly spon-
sored by Japan, to replace the former
Chinese province of Manchuria. The
former hoy emperor of China has been
placed at the head of the new state,
backed by Japanese bayonets. Japan,
alone, has recognized the independence
of the new government.
The report urges the withdrawal of
japanese forces from Manchuria,
Chinese-Japanese conference to draw up
agreements governing japanese rights
in Manchuria, and most important of all,
recommends an autonomous Manchurlan
state, its revenues divided with and its
foreign policies controlled by China.
To all intents and purposes, Japan
has obtained control of Manchuria by
force of arms, and it is extremely doubt
full if it will let go at the suggestion of
the League of Nations or of any other
agency, unless the latter happens to be
stronger in military way than Japan.
The japanese have adopted their own
policy in the far east They know they
are the dominant power, that expansion
of their territory is essential and they
went into this Manchurian affair fully
aware that it might draw frowns from
the rest of the world.
But Japan is hardly likely to pay any
attention to frowns, not even the best
frown the league can produce. 1t APP
parently is to be a showdown between
Japan and the league. Whatever is the
japanese and diplomatic equivalent for
"go sit on a tack" will be about the only
reply Japan will offer to criticism of its
policy.
