ing Baby Bunty jam tart, the
little orphan rabbit reached for 1t
in such a hurry that she knocked
it on the clean table cloth and
made a great smear of red rasp-
berry jam.
"Oh! OH" said Baby Bunty. I've
made Unkie Wigs tablecloth all
jam! Oh, dearl'
"Never mind, my dear said
Nurse Jane. "Ill wash the stain
out after supper and Uncle Wiggily
will hang the table cloth out on
the line in the yard to dry and it
will be as good as ever"
Baby Bunty felt happier after
that and so did every one and it
was a fine supper for the lady and
gentleman pigs, who ate a great
deal though they were polite about
it.
After supper the children played
games while Mr. and Mrs. Longears
talked with Mr.. and Mrs. TWisty-
tail. Then Nurse Jane called Uncle
Wiggily out to the kitchen and
said:
1--WE washed the jam out of your
table cloth, Mr.. Longears. Do you
want to hang it out on the line?
"Oh, surely" said the bunny un-
Gle. So he did this and then went
back to talk to Mr.. Twistytail about
, how things were after the election
The pigs stayed quite late and once
Nurse Jane went in the room ano
! eXcusing herself, whispered to I'm
Gle Wiggily that she thought the
table cloth was dry now and thai
he could bring it in.
I'm a minute" he said. But he
didn't think of it again until he
was getting undressed to go to bee
after the company had left.
Leave the cloth on the line un-
til morning" said his wife.
"No,I'n go get it now" decided
| Uncle Wiggily. Some one might
take it, So he went out in the
dark yard to take the cloth off the
! line. The wind was blowing as he
started back to the bungalow ano
the wind blew the table cloth ovel
the bunnys head SO he looked like
something left over from Hallow-
cen night. But it's good thing he
did. For the Bob Cat was sneaking
around. And when the Bob Cal
saw that white, strange figure
j which was only Uncle Wiggily
drapped in the table cloth, the Bad
Chap gave a howl and ran away
saying:
ooh, it's a ghost; It's a ghostl'
And Mr.. Longears laughed.
And if the iceman will bring
some coal for breakfast so the can
airy bird can fry the watermelon
for the gold fish, I'll tell you nexl
about Uncle Wiggilys popcorn.

4RMISTICE DAY

DASSAGE of IA years since the sign
l ing of the armistice which ended the
World war, has given time for a new
generation to grow up, to whom the
thrill of the original Armistice day is
only faint memory if indeed it is re-
membered at all.
But to Us of an older class, the men,
DRY of that great day is still fresh and
will remain so until Taps" is sounded
for US.
There was never anything like it in
the history of the country and it is to
be hoped that the nation will never again
have cause for such a celebration thrust
upon it.
1t was a great day, trimming over
with joyousness with a tinge Of sadness
for those who had paid the full price of
wars awfulness.
Some there are who criticize the holt
day aspect of Armistice day, remember
ing the dead of Flanders fields. The
criticism is hardly deserved. These same
dead were forced by circumstances to
make merry even in the immediate pres
ence of the death of their comrades who
went west" before they did. The world
had cheapened life in a mad orgy of
death and death was only an Incidental
in the lives of the millions of men who
were under arms.
Even so, the eX-Service man pays
tribute first to his fallen comrade, be-
fore he assumes the gladstone role which
was his on the original Armistice day.
Solemn and sacred is the homage ac-
corded, not only to the dead of the
World war, but to those who answered
the call of their country in previous
wars. This duty performed it is fitting
and proper that the eX-service men and
their friends should enjoy the day.
Others may forget, and we have had
some sad examples of forgetfulness, but
the eX-service man does not forget, nor
can he while he lives. Those terrible
days of 1914-1918 are stamped indelibly
in the minds and souls of the ex-service
men.
When we criticize them it is only fair
to them to ask ourselves what their ex-
perience in the war did to them? Who
can answer? Sometimes not even the
ex-service men themselves. Granted
that some of them may have listened to
false prophets and followed undesirable
leadership, who can say what the terri
BILE experiences of 1917 and 1918 did to
warp their judgment?
1t is always easy to criticize and it is
sometimes hard to understand Ger
tainly if anyone deserves the benefit of
the doubt when it comes to matter of
judgment, the eX-service man who actu-
ally saw service in France is entitled to
it. Better to be little wrong and see
him as we saw him in 1917 than to hold
him too closely to what he may be in
1882.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Editor
Eleanor Pattersons sarcastic front
page editorials in the Washington
Herald are again providing the
capital with diversion from its
usual run of political news.
Mrs. Pateersons' target this time
is not her personal and social ri
val, Mrs, Alice Roosevelt Long
worth, but the Herald'S morning
competitor, The Washington Post.
The momentous issue between the
two papers is this: Who shall have
the credit for arranging a search
light which signalled Governor
Roosevelt's election on Tuesday
night.
The Post published a dignified
half-page advertisement asserting
that it thought of the searchlight
idea first. 1t claimed the Herald
was trying to horn in on the pub
licity. Mrs. Patterson replied tart
ly III her editorial. She claimed pri-
GRITTY rights on the signal arrange
ment and said The Post seemed
to think that it owns the sky.
Government economy is forcing of =
ficials to learn how to write con-
cisely. The annual reports of the

they did last year. And the print

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
A GOOD SCOUT

A Boy Scout showed his courage and
II charitableness where adults failed,
then further proved the worthwhileness
of his Scout training by refusing any
compensation from those he had aided,
adding unselfishness to his other virtues.
That, in brief, is the story of an Incl
dent which happened here in Imperial
county over the weekend,
Two women, driving home from the
coast, experienced tire trouble on the
highway. In trying to unlock their spare
tire they broke off the key and were
not only stranded, but helpless.
In vain they tried to signal passing
motorists. Car after car whizzed by
without answering their signals of dis
tress. At last one stopped and backed
to the point where the women's car was
parked. A boy and his crippled father
were the passengers.
The youngster offered his services
succeeded in removing the spare tire and
placing it on the car and when tender
ed payment for what he had done told
the women, Il am a Boy Scout and |
cannot take any money for helping some
body else in distress.
He modestly told the women that he
realized the risk he took in stopping on
the highway at night and excused those
who had passed without offering help
on the grounds that they had plenty of
reason to be doubtful of distress calls.
One of the women concerned in the
affair told us of it. She did not know
the boys name, for he asked to be eX-
cused from telling it. He lives in I'M
perial and is Boy Scout there. The
woman thought, and we agreed with her,
that the good deed he had done deserved
mention and commentator.
What he did is only what thousands
of other Boy Scouts all over the world
are ready to do at all times. Charity,
courage, courtesy, unselfishness-wha
are they worth? No money can buy
them, and boy who possesses them is
rich beyond the wealthiest man in the
world.
We hope the Scout in question sees
this. He has his own recompense of
course, in the knowledge of a good deed
we'll done, but it will do him no harm
to learn that others have learned of and
admired his deed.
Apparently the Democrats didn't even
need Hiram Johnson's help but he'll
not let them forget what he did.
The people decided the Wright act
was the wrong act.
One thing good about the election, it
took peoples minds off the new con-
tract bridge rules for time.
And thank heaven for no more polltl-
cal speeches over the radio.
