HepulIed the bed sprirSout
gM&&

The Bear showed Uncle Wiggily
an old spring bed which had been
left at the foot of the hill by the
ash and trash man. Playfully Mr.
Stubtail had pushed Uncle Wiggiiy
off the hill and the rabbit, land
ing on the bed spring, had done
flip flop.
Then Mr. Stubtail jumped down
on the spring, bounced up and did
a flip flop or somersault for him.
SELF And as the two friends were
resting in a clump of ferns where
they had landed, they heard some
enc coming along through the
woods on top of the hill.
Il wonder who it can be- mur-
INJURED Mr.. Longears.
Keep still and Well soon see" 3"
whispered the bear gentleman.
They looked up at the top Of the
hill from which they had jumped
upon the old bed spring at the bot
tom. They could hear the dried
leaves rustling and the bushes
cracking.
4 think it's one of the Bad
Chaps" said Uncle Wiggily.
Perhaps it is" agreed Mr.
Stubtail.
Then perhaps I'd better run, .
said the rabbit.
Nonsense" chuckled the bear,
but taking care to make no noise
Nothing Of the sort. Perhaps you
had better stay here with me until
we find out who's coming. If it is
one Of the Bad Chaps, like the
Fox, the Wolf or the Bob Cat,
won't let them hurt you"
Thanks" spoke the rabbit gen
tleman, looking again at the top
Of the hill. Mr. Stubtail also looked
up and just then a brown animal,
with long, sharp nose ana a tail
as big as a kitchen busting brush
thrust his head over the top and
looked down

Wiggily.
The Jumping Fox!' whispered
the Bear
What do you mean-the Jump
ing FOx?" asked the rabbit. rs nc

Yes" the Bear answered.

ANDERSON URGES
GREATER USE OF
DAIRY PRODUCTS

1T would seem that a dairy dis
trict, above all places, should use
plenty of dairy products, states
Charles E. Anderson, chairman of
the agricultural committee of the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce.
But recent experience has shown
that consumption of dairy pro-
ducts generally is larger in the
cities than in farming communi-
ties, not excepting the districts
where the COW is the main source
of revenue. For year the Ell
Centre chamber has been waging a
campaign to increase the use of
, Imperial county dairy products and,
while a check shows that there is
an increased use of milk in the
city areas, there is no way to check
the amount of milk used in the
country districts.
when quart of milk is con-
sumed on the farm it helps just as
much to reduce surplus as if it
were consumed in the city. There
is nothing that the farmer can buy
that will provide the same nourish-
ment for the family as will milk
and, food values considered, nothing
is cheaper than milk"
Although primarily a dairying
community, Imperial Valley is far
below the state average of counties
in the matter of milk consumption
although upon the success of the
dairymen depends the success of
the community as a whole. 1t
was to increase the use of our own
products that the Ell Centro cham
Der campaign was started last
spring and that organization has
been working constantly to achieve
the perfect goal of quart of milk
a day for each child and a pint
a day for each adult in the coun-
ty.
Housewives, now that summer
weather is approaching once more,
will be interested to know that the
local chamber has a supply of ice
box and refrigerator dessert reci-
pes, compiled during the contest
for such recipes conducted early
last summer. This group consists
of the 18 prize winning recipes
which were chosen by home econ
omic experts from the hundreds
! submitted from all parts of the
valley, and copies may be obtained

improvements In
New Majestics

Several improvements upon Ma
iestic electric refrigerators are eX-
pected to increase their sale in I'M
perial Valley this year. according to
the Imperial Valley Hardware COM
pany which sold seven carloads OF
the machines in the valley last
year.
Among the new features is an
automatic interior light which
snaps off and on as the door is
open or closed. This feature is
optional with the purchaser, it is
explained. Stainproof porcelain
now is used for the entire interior
finish.
The I. V. company recently in
vestigated a report that not one
Majestic refrigerator failed to op-
crate on account Of the excessive
heat of last summer. It was dis
covered that last summer was the
hottest in the southwest in 81 years,
according to government reports,
and Majestic functioned satisfac-
torily with temperatures sometimes
as high as 129, according to I. V.
officials.

TRAINING CAMPS POPULAR

ONLY a few years ago, The Press, in
" common with other papers through
out California, used to devote consider
able space at this time of the year to
urge young men to attend the Citizens
Military Training camps, conducted each
year by the United States army.
AT that time it needed much urging to
induce the youngsters to sign up for one
month of summer at a military camp,
but great change has taken place.
Although the camps are not held un-
til July, Imperial county's quota OF y
men now has more than three times that
number of applicants for the camp.
Some of these applicants will be elm
mated in the wedding out process be-
tween now and the opening of the camps,
but it is a certainty that a number Of
boys will be disappointed, unless other
sections of the west fail to make up their

But not all. There are nine fine
English pipes given him by various

And there are many others-big
pipes, little pipes, and pipes with

and jump away back to my bunga-
low!" said Uncle Wiggily.
No! Mo- Wait a minute!"
whispered Mr.. Stubtail, catching
hold of the bunny before he could
run away. Wait a minute and I'll
show you how to play a trick on
the Fox who is always trying to
catch you. 1t will serve him right.
I'll make Jumping Fox out of
him"
"How?" asked Uncle Wiggily
What's the trick?"
Come up out of the ferns and
show yourself for a moment to the
Fox on top Of the hill,' said the
Bear.
g, What? And have him Jump
down here and get me?' asked the
rabbit.
Hell jump down but he won't
get you" said the Bear.
why not?" asked the rabbit.
He can safely jump down on the
old spring bed as you and I did.
He'll bounce up in a flip flop and
won't be hurt and then he can
get me-"
mot so," chuckled the bear.
SHOW yourself a moment and
watch him jump. I promise he
won't get you. Go ahead. Trust
me-"
Uncle Wiggily trusted his Bear
friend and stood up amid the ferns.
In an instant the Fox saw the rab-
bit and cried:
"Oh, I'm going to jump down
off this hill and get Uncle Wiggily.
1 see an old spring bed down there,
so it won't hurt me TO Jump on
that. I'll land very softly" With
that he jumped off the hill top
Here he comes, Mr. Stubtalll"
cried the rabbit. He'll flip flop on
the spring bed, bounce up and
get me-"
will hep" chuckled the Bear.
watch With that he reached
out his claws and pulled the bed
spring out of the way just as the
Jumping Fox thought he was 60
ing to land softly upon it. Instead
of landing softly on the spring the
Fox landed hard upon the ground
and Dashed his nose.
"OW Wow!" howled the Fox.
What bad jumpi' Then Uncle
Wiggily and Mr. Stubtail ran away,
leaving the Fox there and soon
they found spring had come, with
flowers, singing birds and some
sassafras for Mr.. Stubtail. So
everyone was happy except the
Fox. And if the pussy cat will stop
tickling the neck of the bottle with
her tail and making the. cork pop
out, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily and DR.. Postum.

WASHINGTON March %. -
Charles G. Dawes, president Of the
reconstruction finance corporation,
has gained great fame from his
underslung pipes. But the spec
tacles of Eugene Meyer, his con-
feree in the finance corporation
and the governor Of the federal
reserve board, have been over
looked.
Meyer has 20 pairs Of spectacles.
He keeps eight at his office
An even dozen remain at home.
He usually has three pair with
him-one on his nose and a couple
in his pockets. His spectacles are
of all kinds. When the public sees
him he usually wears pinee nez
with a black ribbon. But when he
secludes himself in his office for
a long pull at his desk he dons
heavy, tortoise shell trimmed spec
tacles which are easier on the
nose. Then he has another heavy
pair for golf, big ones for motor
ing, and rimleSs and fine, white
gold-rimmed ones for formal wear.
Recently he had the prescrip-
tion for his lenses changed. He had
a dozen sets Of lenses made up il
The first order. They cost S84. He
has given them a try-out and likes
Them. So now he is having eight
more sets made.

The Citizens Military Training Camp
movement is now one of the most pop
ular summer activities with young men
of high school and college age And it
is to be regretted that the appropriations
for the camps have been so reduced that
nothing like the number of boys desr-
ing to attend them can be Accommodated.
While the camps are conducted by the
army, they are not devoted entirely to
militaristic activities. Those attending
are taught the manual of arms and rou-
tine soldier drill, but they are also given
q wonderful opportunity for physical
development, and they have inculcated in
them, some for the first time, the need
for discipline, team work and obedience
to superiOrS.
Proof of the fine work the camps do
can be found by talking with any local
young men who have attended. They are
their best boosters and the change in their
appearance between the time they depart
for camp and their return, would con-
vince anyone that the camps are a good
thing for them.
1t is to be regretted that all desiring
to attend the camps cannot be accom-
odated Perhaps greater provision for
er this happens or not, the fact remains
that the camps are a success and should
be permitted to be even greater successes.
