play"
That's always the way with

work, of raking leaves, they'll do
it."
How can you make play out of
the work Of raking up the dried
leaves and burning them?" asked
Mrs Longears.
"I'll show you" said Uncle Wig

off and have an adventure. He'll
be gone all day, and. when the

they'll rake no more leaves than

she was out in the kitchen she laugh
ed egain: "Hal Ha! Hal" But
softly.
Somewhat to the surprise of his
wife, and rather to the astonish-
ment of Nurse Jane, Uncle Wiggily
came back from adventuring that
afternoon just as the rabbit child
rem raced home from school.
IT told you'll" said Mrs. Longears,
triumphant like.
Nurse Jane didn't say a word.
She just made icing for the cake.
Hello, Danddicums!" called
Jingle to him. did you have a
nice adventure? Tell us about it,
please"
81 haven't time now" said Mr..
Longears, as he got the rake. IT
must roast some potatoes"
"Oh, potato roast!" cried Bust
er, boy rabbit. That's fine! May
have some potatoes roasted in a
bonfire, Daddy?"
Il suppose you may if you make
your own fire of leaves" said the
rabbit father, not even twinkling
his pink nose. I'm going to roast
my own" and he raked a big pile
of leaves together and went in the
kitchen to get some potatoes from
Nurse Jane.
"Oh, you foxy rabbit" chuckled
the muskrat lady.
Uncle Wiggily winked one eye
careful like. Then he went out and
set fire to the leaves he had raked
into a heap. When the leaves had
burned down to hot, red embers
Mr.. Longears put in them some
potatoes to roast. Soon they began
to bake and then smelled most de-
licious.
"Oh, I'm going to roast pota-
toes!" cried all the rabbit boys and
girls. SO they raked up all the
leaves, made many separate little
fires and roasted potatoes in the
embers until not a leaf was left.
"a clever trick, Wiggyp said his
wife as she cut a slice of cake. And
if the roller skate will slide down
to the fire hydrant and get the
sidewalk scooter a drink of milk, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily's

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. - Gov
ernor Eugene Meyer Of the feder-
III reserve board furnished probably
the most cautious ana least COM
municative interview recently, just
one step behind Montagu Norman,
head of the Bank of England,
famed for his secretiveness.
Following a recent vital federal
reserve board conference, newspa-
pernen sought to interview Meyer
The conversation ran like this:
Reporter-Wil you finish today,
Governor?
Meyer-That depends on whether
we conclude our discussions today.
If we do, we will finish.
Reporter-Could you say what
subjects are under consideration?
Meyer-Why, almost everything.

sideration being given to the open

M'eyer-Why I should say that it
is being given the consideration
that the subject deserves. 1t is,
in fact, being given adequate con-
sideration-adequate, but not ex-
cessive, is the way I would des-
cribe the consideration being CIV

SPORT AND CHARITY

MEhD OF funds to carry on local relief
y work in El Centro this winter is cas-
iiy understood by anyone who gives
thought to the matter.
There are many local families in need
OF help and double-barreled opportnn-
lty to provide the means for helping
them IS to be given the public tomor-
row night.
This opportunity is offered by the
CaleXico-Central Union high school foot
ball game to be played on the local field.
The ordinary inter-community rivalry
between CaleXico and Ell Centre, where
its high school athletic teams are con-
cerned, is intensified this year by the
fact that Central will be fighting for a
chance to remain in the championship
contest, while win by CaleXico will
just about clinch the title for the border
aggregation.
The set-up for real football game
IS perfect. The public, will not only be
supporting the local school by attend
ing the game, but will also be helping a
worthy cause.
All who can possibly do so should at
tend tomorrow nights game. They will
be more than repaid for the small adj
mission charge, and a couple of hours
out in the open, with all the excitement
that real contest can produce will be
good for them physically and mentally
In urging attendance at the benefit
game, the opportunity to express appre-
citation to the high school officials and
the contesting teams cannot be ignor-
ed. A real sacrifice is being made III
donating the one big game" of the sea-
son to charity The money could we'll
be used for equipment and expenses of
school athletic competition but this is
being passed up temporarily to aid
charity.
Certainly the people of this commun-
ity can afford to be as charitable as the
youngsters and the school officials.
Central needs the city's moral support
and charity needs its financial support.
Ell Centro cannot afford to pass up the
opportunity to help both.

AWAIT VERDICT
ON ROAD CAMP

A definite decision as to a road
camp fer Imperial county's unem-
ployed is expected Monday after
noon when Frank A Tetley' OF the
state highway commission confers
with the board of supervisors re-
garding a site for the camp, as
we'll as other details.
One possible site mentioned for
the road camp is the county rock
quarry west Of El Centre. Another
site given favorable consideration
has been that near Winterhaven.
Should the former be selected the
county and state would share gra-
vel taken from the quarry to be
used on highway construction. The
Winterhaven site would assure tenn
porary road construction in the
Bard section.
Tetley's presence will be neces-

GEORGE BURNHAN

ELECTION of George Burnham of San
- Diego to represent the twentieth
California district in Congress, assured
by a lead of 461 votes following the
count of the absentee ballots, is eX-
tremely gratifying to The Press, which
has been listed among his supporters
since he announced his candidacy last
spring
The closeness of the race with his
Democratic opponent, Claude Chandler,
made the result doubtful until all the
votes were in.
Imperial Valley residents who have
known George Burnham for years, are
equally delighted with his success and
it is also pleasing to many new friends
made here during the recent campaign.
A successful businessman and gen
tleman, he represents type which is
badly needed in American political life
to replace the professional office seek
er and holder, who has held political
domination for too long.
His victory at the polls is remarkable
for several reasons among which are the
fact that it was his first entry into the
political arena and in year which has
been disastrous to the rank and file of
Repubicanism, he emerged successful.

we'll merited. He started life as a poor

achieved success without sacrificing any

Of foreign birth, he has the intensive

those who have sought citizenship in this

upon them by being born here.
The new congressional district which
embraces San Diego and Imperial coun-

 The analysis shows wide Vnria- tons in the percentage of homes wired m the different geographical sections of the United States. Per- centages ranges from 29.s9 percent of all of the homes In the Eas, South Central States to 91.66 per cent in New England. The per- centages for the other regions are given as follows:

 The high percentage of wired homes in New England is largely attributable to the fact that elec- trification of rural farming sections has progressed more rapidly in this sector than in others. This Is borne out by the fact that, ex- cluding farm homes from Consid- eration, four homes out of every i've in the United States are wired for electricity, the percentage be- Ing about eighty as compared with 66.77 per cent for the nation in cluding farm homes.

Amazing Sums Of Money Invested

Staggering Figures Tell How United States Invests in American Busi- ness-Much BOasted Russia Is Be- ing Far Surpassed

1881, that aggregate figure hav- ing been $31,616,000,000.
 These figures show that the youngest partner in Americas busi- ness already has lusty interest. But his future possibilities are even more striking.
 The $7,664,515.201.01 which the government has invested or auth orized for investment in American business is seven times the market value of all American railroad d stocks listed on the New York stock exchange June l. 1882. It is a sum sufficient to ,ac- quire almost twice over at prestn market prices, all the railroad bonds listed on the New York ex- change. It is equal to one-fourth of the total loans of all the banks in the United States.
 It is equivalent to one-eighth of the aggregate income of every man, woman, child, corporation or business enterprise, large or small in the United States for the year 1890.
 Such potentialities in the hands of business partner-even though he be just a silent partner who furnished the money while you run the business-gives cause to wonder whither the course will lead. The Rockefeller interests controlled-and probably still con- trol-the Standard Oil company of Indiana with only IA per cent of the stock scattered among many members of the family, trusts, foundations and charities.
 There is sharp difference which should be pointed out, how ever. between the method of the Rockefeller investment and that of the government. The Rockfellers own outright certain shares of stock. They vote and elect direc- l tors.
 The governments entry into business is as finance company Its method of operation is much the same as that of the finance company which helps the motorist buy his automobile. The motor car dealer takes the motorists note to the finance company which helps the motorist buy his automobile l The motor car dealer takes the motorists note to the finance com. par1y and obtains money on it The finance company invests its money in these notes-makes g profit by discounting.
 | The government agencies which have plunged Uncle Sam into busi. ness have operated much the same The banker, the insurance com pany, the building and loan asso- ciation, bring to them their notes and mortgages. The government agency advances money upon these securities.
 When the motorist no longer can meet his payment on his auto- mobile loan the finance company ''repossesses'' the automobile. Ii 1t can. sell 1t again, 1t gets it's money out. If it can't--well 1t has an automobile on It's hands.
