UNCLE WIGGILY SEwS HIM UP

Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bunty
we're having a very jolly time to-
gether. The rabbit gentleman with
the pink, twinkling nose and the
little orphan bunny were hopping
through the woods with a basket.
1t was really Buntys secret bas-
ket, but Uncle Wiggily was help
ing her carry it for the basket was
quite heavy.
The basket held two secrets. One
secret was many good Christmas
things to eat; food which Baby
Bunty was going to take to the
poor animal boys and girls in the
woods who had no Christmas of
their own. The other secret was a
needle, some thread and pieces of
cloth. Bunty was going to mend
holes and rips in the clothes of
the poor animal boys and girls.
Here is a place that looks as if
there might be hungry children
in it, said Bunty as she and Uncle
Wiggily hoped near an old stump
sticking out of thes now. 1t wasn't

THE COUNTY REPORT

A letter from reader, published in yes
"A terday's issue, urged citizens and tax
payers of Imperial county to read and
study the financial and statistical report
of the county for 1882
When the reader asked us to print his
letter and urge citizens to study the
booklet, we told him we would be glad
to do so, but that we had grave doubts
about the response from the citizens and
taxpayers.
The doubt is founded on long observa-
tion of the publics lethargy to public
business. The taxpayers are paying for
this booklet and they are paying for ev-
cry item listed therein Yet the great ma
jority know nothing about it and an al
most equally large number cares nothing
about it.
The report has been compiled by the
supervisors in conformity with a state
regulation requiring that such a report
be published. 1t is available at the Of
flee of the purchasing agent in the court
house, at no cost to the citizen.
While taxpayers are almost unanimous
in groaning about the burden they are
called upon to bear-and Justly too
only minority is willing to try to do
anything to relieve the situation. Read
ing the statistical report and studying it,
will at least give the taxpayer an idea
of just what it is that causes him to
groan and it may inspire him to act with
others in bringing about relief
The book is there, ready for the tax
payer. If he does not care enough about
it to use it, he should not be surprised if
few pay any attention to his groaning,
or if his cause for groanng becomes
worse.

HOW ABOUT PARENTS?

A Los Angeles automobile, loaded down
"A with seven high school and Junior col
lege students bound for lark in the
mountain SHOWS, started out Wednesday
IN high hopes of a days sport.
Before night had fallen = in fact a
short time after the party started = two
OF Its members were dead and the other
live were injured. OF the latter, one
and possibly two may die.
The car, small roadster, never de-
signed for handling such a crowd as was
piled into it, crashed into concrete cul-
vert while the young driver was hitting
it up" at 60 miles an hour.
Perhaps it is expecting too much of
youngsters to state that they should
have had more sense than to crowd so
many into a small car, or that the young
driver should be making such speed.
But what about the parents? They
must have been aware that their child
rem were going on such a party. Did
they take any measures to find out who
was going and what precautions were be-
ing made for safety? Did they know, or
try to find out anything about the driver
or the condition of the car he drove? 1t
is almost a certainty that they did not,
for no responsible adult would permit
In this they were most assuredly re-
miss in their duties. This is harsh
statement, in view of the grief that must
be the lot of the bereaved parents, but it
is a true statement. They loved their
children, doubtless but they were most
negligent in not being more solicitous
about their safety.
What happened in Los Angeles might
happen anywhere else. 1t could happen
right here in Imperial Valley where it is
no strange or infrequent sight to see
dilapidated car loaded down with young
sters of school age, careening along at
top speed, taking corners on two wheels
and overlooking every rule of the road
Youngsters must have their fun and
it should not be denied them. However,
there are precautions which should be
taken, and these need in no way curb the
good time desired On the contrary they
will make a good time more certain by
reducing the chances for such lament
able tragedy as the one which cost the
lives of the two Los Angeles girls.

The department also announced,

"Our Father, who
art in heaven" which Prof Palmer
regards as "the hush before prayer,
introduces us to a characteristic doc
trine of Jesus, the Fatherhood of God.
This idea was not original with the
Master, but under His creative touch
it came to full flower.
Note that there are six petitions in
the prayer. The first three reminds
us of our obligations to God. The
last three are concerned with our re-
lations to one another.
"Hallowed be Thy Name" the first
petition, assures us that reverence for
God is basic. The modern world
greatly needs this reminder, for our
age, in certain respects, is shockingly
vulgar, indecent, and bad-mannered.
"Thy Kingdom come" Jesus
preached, as His major teaching, the
gospel of the kingdom. This divine
realm is both present common
wealth, and future hope.
"Thy will be done" This is an apt
petition for dark days like those Of
the present. 1t was the Masters prayer
in the garden of Gethsemane, and Of
DR.. Grenfell as he drifted out to sea,
on an ice pan, with little hope of rescue.
"Give us this day our daily bread"
This is prayer for simple, modest
living, a request for bread, not cake.
Forgive US our debts" is first a con-
fession of sin. For honest contrition
there is forgiveness, but it is condi-
tional. Unless we forgive our debtors,
God cannot forgive us.
The last petition, Lead us not into
temptation" is practical reminder of
the ever-present power of the tempter.
We are to be watchful, beseeching God
that He will not allow us to yield to
temptation, and fall into its snare.
