way and I never thought it was
wrong"
We'll, I am telling you that it
is said Uncle Wiggily. Each one,
whether a bird or a rabbit, should
do his own work unless he is Ill.
And you are quite well, aren't you,
Mrs. Cuckoo?'
"Ch, yes, I feel fine!' she
chirped.
Then do what is right. Make
a nest of your own Hatch out
your own eggs and then you will
be friends with the other birds, -
said the rabbit gentleman. See,
I will leave this egg OF yours on
the soft moss of this log. BY night
you can have made a nest for
yourself and when your husband
bird comes home he will help you
carry this egg into the nest. There
you can lay more eggs and hatch
them cut. After this take care or
your own eggs"
"All right, 1 will" agreed Mrs.
Cuckoo. Il never before thought
what ] was doing was wrong. But
perhaps it is. Leave The egg there
and will see what 7 can do about
making a nest of my own. But it
will be hard at first, for I never
have done it
Il think you can Go it." said Mr..
Longears. Putting the queer egg on
the messy log, he hoped away
through the woods to gather wild
flowers, leaving Mrs. Cuckoo Sit
ting on a bush.
When Uncle Wiggily reached his
bungalow late that afternoon,
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wu2zy met him
and said:
"Oh, Mr.. Longears, a strange
thing happened a little while ago.
had cleaned your red cap and
hung it out on the line to dry.
And while it was drying along
came a bird, picked the cap up in
her beak and flew away with it. I
called to her to bring it back, but
she said she was going to use your
cap for her nest as you had given
her back one of her eggs. She
said you would understand"
"Ha! Ha!" laughed the bunny
THAT must have been Mrs.
Cuckoo! She played a joke on me,
taking my cap for her nest. Well,
she may have it if she will only
hatch out her own birds" In the
woods, high in a distant tree, the
rabbit saw his red cap and a bird
perched near it. And the bird
sang: Cuckoo, Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"
SO perhaps it all happened for
the best. And if the coffee pot will

water before it goes to sleep, III

MEXICAN SALOON
TAX EFFECTIVE
EARLY in JUNE

Most of MeXieali'S saloons and
gambling houses were running full
blast today, anticipating the day
early in June when the Mex
ican government will begin collec-
ton of q l000-peso tax each month,
forcing many liquor dispensing es-
Establishments to close and causing
a rise in the price of the stronger
beverages sold across the line.
Last Monday originally had been
set as the closing date, but stay
was granted the saloon owners at
the request of the labor unions and
chambers of commerce in every part
of Mexico, since the tax applies
not only to R:eX;cali and Tijuana,
but to all Mexican provinces and
states.
Officials in Mexico City have de-
clared this tax is the first step to
make Mexico a nation of rigid
temperance since the levy will
bring the price of hard liquors to
such point the poorer Mexican
will not be able to afford it. The
tax also will have the effect of
closing all but the most thriving
saloons.
According to La Opinion. Mex
lean language newspaper published
in Los Angeles, Gov. Augustin Ola
chea of the northern district of
Baja California, has thrown his
whole hearted support to the tax,
wiring the Mexican president re-
port on conditions in Mexicali and
Tijuana, and publicly urging sup
port of the new emergency" as
sessment.
This tax, the object of much
controversy below the international
border and much speculation north
of the line, is planned to follow a
scale, with first class establishments
paying the maximum of 1000 pesos
a month, and others paying cor
repsondingly less. The smallest
tax, however, probably will be not
| less than 300 pesos month.

A NATION M0URNS

THE COUNTLESS PAGES that will be
Il written regarding the pitiful Lind
bergh tragedy can all be summed up in one
sentence-may Divine Providence COM
fort the bereaved parents of the young
ster and bring to speedy justice the foul
fiends who are responsible for this hor-
rible blot on the American people.
Not in years has any crime so affected
such a large number OF the worlds IN
habitants.
1t is needless to write that the millions
who welcomed home the worlds greatest
hero five years ago, today extend their
sympathy to him and his cruelty stricken
wife
The American people and people in
other lands throughout the world are
actually sharing in the grief which al
flicts the Lindberghs. It IS a grief which
extends to every home in the land, partic-
ularly those where there are children,
who like Col. Lindbergh's child, are at
the mercy of unfeeling beasts such as
those who perpetrated this crime.
1t is terrible thing to say, but it is
nevertheless true, that fathers and
mothers are at the mercy Of flends IN
human form, VINO may at any moment
snatch from them, those whom they hold
dearest of all.
The Lindbergh case is not the only
kidnapping case. Even during the highest
pitch of excitement that it caused, 9TH
ers. children and adults, have been the
victims of kidnapers.
We have little hope that the Lindbergh
kidnapers will ever be discovered. We
pray that they may be, and soon.
This crime is a terrible challenge to
law and order in the United States. The
American people have needed a spur
prompting them to better observance of
the law and more severe punishment for
those who violate it and they have it at
the awful cost of child's life, a mother
and father heartbroken and an entire
nation bowed in grief.

He took the queer egg from his
pocket and held it in his paw.
This egg had been laid in the
nest of Mrs. Sparrow, who lived in
a hedge. But Mrs. Sparrow was
clever enough to notice that the
Cuckoo's egg was larger than those
she, herself, had laid. So Mrs
Sparrow, as I told you in the story
last night, tossed the queer egg out
on the grass. There Uncle Wig
gily picked it up to take back to
the mother bird who had so self
ishly tried to make other birds do
her Matching and feeding work.

"Whoo-oo! Whoo-oo!" answered
Uncle Wiggily from where he sat
on the log "Over this way, Mrs.
Cuckoo"
Who is calling me?" asked the
selfish bird.
Il am answered the rabbit.
Here is an egg of yours" and he
showed it TO the Cuckoo, who flew
down out of a bush.
Where did you get that egg?"
asked the lazy Cuckoo

Longears.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CUCKOO

Hopping through the woods,
with a queer egg in his pocket,
Uncle Wiggily one day heard a
bird singing a strange song.
THAT must be the Cuckoo I am
looking for" said the rabbit gen.
tleman as he sat down on a log
to rest and listen.
Through the silent woods again
he heard the funny song of a
strange bird.
Cuckoo! Cuckool Cuckoo!" =
Now if I can only see the
Cuckoo and talk to her perhaps
I can get her to change her ways
and lay her eggs in her own nest
instead of dropping them in the
nests of other birds to be hatched

BROADWAY OF AMERICA

1T is REGRETTABLE that the brief
1 stay of the Broadway of America
party in this city yesterday precluded
any extensive arrangement for their well
come and entertainment.
The good roads boosters, some of
whom had travelled across the country
from New York, are doing work that
is of vital Importance to every commun-
itv along the Broadway of America, not
excepting Ell Centro.
This city gets its share of tourist
business, much of which travels over the
Broadway route, which is fast becoming
one of the best known transcontinental
highways, thanks to the efforts of the
group which came here yesterday and
others associated with them.
1t is proper that Ell Centre should
give fullest support to the Broadway of
America association. This organization
is pledged to dispensing information
about the Broadway route and encourag-
ing travel over it. But its work does not
end there. An intensive good roads cam
paign, seeking highway improvements
wherever they may be needed along the
route, is the most important feature of
the associations work.
Those who have travelled over the
broadway route hnoW lldl IL Hdo iii
proved greatly in the past few years, due
mostly to the work of the association.
1t is to be hoped that the convention
which the association is now holding in
San Diego, will be the means of inspiring
greater interest in the Broadway of
America among the people of the south
west. They must work whole-heartedly
with others along the entire route, for its
Importance to this section cannot be over
estimated.
