To Be Accepted
On Night Train

Word has been received from F..
way mail service in Los Angeles.
that the request of the Ell Certro
Chamber of Commerce for authority
for the dispatch of registered mails
from Ell Centro on train No. 365,
which leaves Ell Centre at 1895
p. m. has been granted and regis
tered mail will be accepted on this
train for transfer to the mail train
No. at INLAND.
This request was made by the
chamber because of the inccnve-
nience to banks, title companies,
I, vegetable shippers and others who
have valuable mail to be registered.
The afternoon mail closes toe early
for some of these business houses
to get their registered mail out, but
under the new arrangement regis
tered mail can be sent out up to
1926 D. M, which will be great
convenience to those having valu-
able mail to go out after the r2gu-
lar mail train departs. This serv-
ice, Moore states, is available I'M
mediately.
This permission, together will,
the granting of the Ell Centro Chant
ber's request for permission Tor the
Pacific Greyhound lines TO carry
mail once a day to San Diego, gives
this city complete mail service and
this fact will mean much to the
business men of Ell Centre and all

BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright. 1928, BY Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

He dug for a while and then he
hoped out.
why did you stop digging?n
asked his father.
Because there is a big stone in
the way" answered the rabbit boy.
Il can't dig through a rock"
NO" agreed his father, II don't
suppose you can. But when you
can't dig through a rock, perhaps
you can dig under it or over it or
to one side or the other. Try that
Custer"
So Custer tried digging under
the rock, but it was too deep. Their
Buster tried digging over the rock,
but it was too high. Then Jingle
tried digging to the left, but it
was too thick. And Jangle tried
digging to the right, but it was also
too thick that way. For I must
tell you that girl rabbits are just
as good at digging as are boy bun
MES. And when Uncle Wiggily saw
that there was no getting past the
rock in the burroW, he went down
to look at it himself.
Yes" he said, sit is a very large
rock. Much too large for any
rabbits to dig through or around.
What can we do, Daddicums?
asked Jingle.
we shall either have to start
digging in new place. said Mr.
Longears, "or else I shall have tc
play trick on that big rock to get
it out of the way"
"Oh, Unkie Wig! What kind oil
trick?" asked Baby Bunty.
Mr.. Longears twinkled his pink
nose and said:
II shall have to think about that
The rocky stone is hard so it vii
need to be hard trick to get il
out of the way 1t will not be
easy" And just then the Lady
Mouse Teacher in the Hollow
Stump School rang the bell and The
rabbit children had to run so they
wouldn't be late. Mr. LongearS sa
down beside the partly dug bur.
row, with the big stone in the mid.
ole, far down, and tried TO thint
of a trick to get it out of the way
And as he sat there, all at once
something happened.
You shall hear about it tomor.

FIRST AIRMAIL
TO SET RECORD
SAYS JENKINS

More than 10000 envelopes are
stacked about the Ell Centro post
office to await dispatch upon the
first airmail flight from Imperial
Valley on Wednesday; June Is.
This mornings mail brought more
than 5000 envelopes to add to the
already impressive total.
If patrons of other valley post

with the official cachet, an extra
airmail stamp may be placed upon
a No. 8, envelope and sent to the
Ell Centro office TO have the special
seal affixed, according to G. C.
jenkins, local postmaster. Thus
the souvenir envelopes will bear the
stamp of the home post office as
well as the official one.
The interior of the local post
office presents a colorful sight with
the quantities OF envelopes bearing
the bright airmail colors. Each en-
velope must bear the signature of
the postmaster and the special
cachet.
Imperial Valleys first airmail
flight is attracting wide interest
and the arrivals of the first two
plane at the county airport are
expected to draw the largest crowds
ever assembled in the valley.

He made The dirt FLY

But we study our lessons in
school, Unkie Wig said Baby
Bunty, the orphan rabbit.
There are some lessons you
can never learn in school, clever
as is the Lady Mouse Teacher in
the Hollow Stump" said the bunny
gentleman. Il want to give you,
now, little digging lesson. After
that you may hop to school to
study reading, writing and number
work"
"Oh, I think it will be fun to
have Daddicums for a teacherl"
said Jingle.
May we whisper in your school,
Daddicums?" asked Jangle.
Yes" said her father with
laugh. For my school, this morn
ing, will be out of doors. So follow
me and have a digging lesson"
Uncle Wiggily led his bunny boys
and girls to a soft place in the
garden. Though he lived in a hol-
low stump bungalow, Mr.. LongearS
knew that at times rabbits must
live in burrows, or holes under
ground.
And you can't always find a
hole ready made" explained the
bunny daddy, so, my dears, you
must learn to dig one for your
selves. Now watch me carefully"
Settling himself firmly on his
hind legs, Uncle Wiggily began to
dig with his front paws. He had
put on old clothes SO the dirt would
not soil them. Faster and faster
Mr.. Longears worked his front
paws and he made the dirt fly in
a shower like water from a hose.
"Unkie Wig is very good dig
ger!' said Baby Bunty.
He certainly is!' agreed Bustec
boy rabbit. when I get to be
big I'm going to be a digger like
my father"
We'll, suppose you practice a bit
new" spoke Uncle Wiggily as he
/ hoped out of the hole he had dug
! Il have shown you the way to dig
a burrow, my children, now it is
your turn. I will stay to teach
you until it is time to go to the
Hollow Stump School"
SO Buster dug a bit, and ther
Jingle took turn, then Jangle, and
then Baby Bunty. Next it was tht
turn of Custer, who was Busters
brother. BY this time the burroN
hole was quite deep, SO that onl,

FLAG DAY

DISPLAY of the American flag through
the 155th anniversary Of the adoption of
the stars and stripes by the national con-
gress, and not for any other purpose as
might possibly be assumed.
1t was stated in this column last week
that many of us need a bit of sprucing
up in our patriotism and one branch of
patriotism consists of a knowledge of
the flag. how it originated what its var
ious parts mean and the proper way of
treating it so as to accord it the respect
it deserves.
That a better knowledge of the flag
is needed is proved by the question which
many asked today-''Why is the flag fly
ing?" Dates are tricky things. They are
exceedingly difficult TO keep straight,
but Americans should know that June Il
is Flag day, the same as they know
Christmas, Memorial day and other an
niversaries. - fxGKaaa aa ~
Tonight there will be public exercises
at Wilson school ball field under the
auspices of the Elks lodge, to which the
public is invited. 1t will present an op-
portunity to learn about the flag and its
significance. Every resident of the city
should make an effort to be there-not
for the Elks not because this is written.
but because it is an opportunity to pay
homage to the flag of their country.
Men and women have dared all, have
suffered and died for the flag Surely
one hour in a year is a very little time
to devote to the same ideals for which
they died.

 A dude ranch of the ultra mod ernistic type forms the interesting Background for Wheeler and Wool sey in Girl Crazy,
 And what a ranch it IS. A colored jazz band, the best in California furnishes most of the music for the new George Gersh- win tunes and songs which feature this elaborate production of the successful Broadway musical play. Stellar Supporting Cast - The picture boasts stellar cast in support of the star comedians with Eddie Qull,an, Mitzi Green, Dorothy Lee, Kitty Kelly, Airline Judge and Stanley Fields.
 The film was directed by Wal lace Setter.
 Nanny" is remembered by most everybody who can recall the good old days"

The songs and the humor seem to blend into one story-a story that is tht personality of Lauder in every country of the world.
 Lauder's practice of asking his audience to join in the choruses of his songs during his persona
