REMEMBER MOTHER

Mothers day is designated as Sun
day, May 8, and whether mother is
near or far. one should remember her
on this day. Special church services

make us desirable citizens. Let us
not miss giving her remembrance.

OUTSIDE JUDGE

IN WATER CASES

That Judge Charles G. Haines Of
the San Diego superior court may
hear suits involving the Imperial
Irrigation District and the so cent
water toll imposed by its board of
directors was made probable yes
terday afternoon when Judges A
c. Finney and Vaughn N. Thomp-
son yesterday afternoon signed a
paper conSenting that an outside
judge might preside over the hear
ings.
Previously attorneys in one case
had signed a stipulation that Judg,
Haines might hear the suits.
At the same time a formal dis.
missal of the injunction suit OF
Mrs. Lyle j. Sessions and H. 3.
Stewart against the district, to en-
join the district from refusing to
deliver stock water, was filed by the
two judges. Since the action was
dismissed without prejudice, the
rights of none of the parties, in
any other suit, are effected.

DRIVERS ESCAPE
INJURY in AUTO
WRECK TUESDAY

Although two automobiles and
enc truck were badly damaged, no
one was hurt in a Tuesday night
automobile accident on the Los
Angeles highway, three miles west
of Westmorland, according to a
report filed at the California high
way patrol office today by j. l..
Wells, state traffic officer.
Charles o. Holder, San Ber-
nardino; William K. Volmer, El
Centre, and Otto Zohn, Pasadena,
were the drivers involved in the
accident. Volmer was driving a
commercial truck.
Holder, travelling west, had at
tempted to pass another car when
his automobile collided head-cn
with the truck driven by Volmer,
throwing the truck into the ditch
and causing it to overturn.
A few minutes later Zohn, going
east, struck Holders car, which
was on the highway still. Accord
ing to the traffic officer, marks
showed that Zohn's car skidded
81 feet, then went on for 81 feet
without skidding before striking
the other automobile.

NO, it was a piece Of looking
glass that glittered in the sun, "
said the Robin. Il got it so my
wife might look at herself. See,
here it is," and down out of the
tree flew the Robin with a piece
of mirror which, indeed, did gilt
ter brilliantly.
Then it isn't your twinkle after
all, Unkie Wig said Bunty.
All of a sudden, Uncle Wiggily
began to laugh. Oh, how hard he
laughed.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Ha! Ha! Tee
heel Tee heel"
He laughed as he had never
laughed before when he thought
how funny Bunty looked with drip
ping blue feathers stuck on her
And then, all at once, Jingle cried:
why, Daddicumsl There's the
twinkle back on your nose!"
And there it Wasl Uncle Wig
gily had found it. Or, rather, the
jolly twinkle came back when he
laughed SO hard. He was happy
again and SO was everybody. The
rabbits danced. the Robin sang
and all was well.

Hastain, R. Wilkinson, r. w. Will
kinson and c. w. Wilkinson are
plaintiffs in the suit specifically
effected by the stipulation that
Judge Haines may hear the case.
The district is defendant.
This suit is aimed at testing the
legality of the so cent water toll
levied by the district board. The
complaint charges that the toll is
illegal in that it is an attempt to
collect taxes before they are due.
1t is probable that this suit, and
one brought by the district against
Westmorland, Mccall and their as
sociates, will be heard Saturday
morning at the court house. The
latter suit seeks an injunction tc
restrain the defendants from in
terfering with district gates, checks
and canals.

NOT THE RIGHT WAY

Ms intimated briefly in this column
II few days ago, the groups of veterans
who are marching" toward Washing
ton are not doing the cause of the vet
Grams any good by their actions.
Granting that it is within the right of
these veterans to assemble and proceed
to Washington if they wish, nothing gives
them the right to commander property
belonging to others or to make nuisances
of themselves in the various commune
ties through which they pass.
If a group of l. W. W. or other radi-
Gals tried the same tactics the veterans
would in all probability be the first ones
to take after them and attempt to put
them to rout.
We do not believe the actions of these
veterans meet with the approval of the
great majority of their comrades By
far the larger number of veterans are
minding their own business, working or
seeking work and conducting themselves
in an orderly manner.
By assuming that their war service
gives them rights which the non-veter-
an must not enjoy, the misguided vet
Grams are going contrary to American
principles and their own comrades are
most likely to be the ones to suffer as a
result.
The communities through which the
veterans are passing have been most
lenient with them. Peace officers and
municipal officials have catered to them,
none wishing to use force against men
who are supposed to have fought for
their country.
We use the word supposed" inten-
tionally, for we cannot help but feel that
if an investigation of these veterans"
could be made, it would show many of
them were never in service at all. We
venture to say that many of them are
masqueraders and what veterans there
are among them are not truly repre-
sentative of the men who were in SER
vice in 1917-18.
Again the senate says it doesn't want
beer 1t may be assumed therefor that
the senate does not want beer. At least
not for the other fellow.

UNCLE WIGGHY'S FOUND
TWINKLE

Uncle Wiggily, with c:ngle and
Jangle, his little twin rabbit girls,
stood back of the bungalow look
ing at Baby Bunty. The little or
phan rabbit was covered with
chicken feathers and had been
made blue by being dipped into
a tub of blue water that Nurse
Jane had used to brighten the
clothes for Mrs. Longears.
"Yes, I am greatly surprised, u
said Uncle Wiggily, for most un-
expectedly he had come upon
Jingle and Jangle dipping Bunty.
You say you wanted to make
Bunty into a bluebird?" he asked.
YES" answered Jingle. 80 you
would be happy.
Because you were sad on &C
count Of losing the twinkle off
your nose" added Jangle.
Did you find it?" asked Bunty
who was standing in little pud-
die of blue water that dripped off
her from the chicken feathers
Jingle and Jangle had stuck on
her with gum from a pine tree.
NO, I didn't exactly find my
lost twinkle, that is not yet" said
Mr.. Longears. But when I was
coming through the woods a little
while ago, I saw my twinkle on the
path. Before I could get it a robin
bird picked up the twinkle and
flew away with it. I chased the
flying bird and I got here just as
you dipped Bunty."
II wish they hadn't made me
a bluebird," said the little orphan
rabbit, sort Of shivering like
Though if it makes you happy
Jnkie Wig, I don't care" she said
First of all I want to thank
you three bunnies for thinking SC
kindly Of me as to want me to be
happy" said Mr.. Longears. Next
we must make Bunty comfortable
and happy. Then we'll talk about
the twinkle"
I'm not very comfortable now
Unkie Wig, said shiyering Bunty
I'm all wet and sticky and I don't
believe I look much like a blue
bird, 90 u"
Not very much" laughed the
rabbit gentleman. But still Jingle
and Jangle did their best. I must
give them credit for that. Now then
We'll make you feel better, Bunty
Help me pull these feathers of
her. he told Jingle and Jangle.
It die not take long to pull th4
chicken feathers off the little or
phan rabbit. Dipping her into the
blue water, as Jingle and Janglt
had done, had loosened them
When the feathers were off, Uncle
Wiggily hoped into the bunga-
low and got a large towel in which
ne wrapped the little orphan
bunny, patting her until she was
warm, dry and cozy.
Now you look like yourself

SIGNS OF SUMNER

GUNNER weather is here and with a
~ bang, its effect being noticeable on
valley residents.
From the new city of Westmorland
comes reports Of haunted house,
being burned. Here is a city not yet
more than a few months old. and it has
the temerity to produce a haunted
house, which any orthodox thinking
person knows is only the result of long
years, half dozen or so of murders and
a flock or two of ghostly trees.
The set-up for haunted house" is
absolutely lacking in Westmorland.
The murders and the ghostly trees can
not be produced and we, who remem-
Der the old Wolcott house-a real honest
Injun, dyed-in-the-Wool haunted house,
passing which we vainly tried to whistle
many time - are not going to take
Westmorland's claim as being worth the
printing it takes.
Before such a claim can be accepted,
Tom Hancock and some Of the other
Westmorland boys will have to do bet
ter than that.
And another sign of summer! Jim
Poe. the sage of Salton Sea, tacks
on the end of his name and lets it rip.
A real poet by gosh.
The statement is not made sarcastic
ally. We regret that space will not per
nit reproduction of Jim's poem which

and that sun-burned old side-winder has
been fooling us for long time.
These be signs of summer in the north
end of the valley.
The south end has not attempted any
thing quite so artistic as haunted
houses and poetry. Down here we
seem to be too full of politics and SIM
liar idiotic endeavors.
