While Mr.. Brylawski says that
there will be speeches galore

will be plenty of opportunity at
this function for the ordinary lay

N0N-PAYMENT OF
TAXES DEPLORED
BY SUPERVISORS

Joining the Ell Centro, Holtville
and Imperial chambers of COM
merce and the Associated Chambers
of Commerce in an expression of
their attitude on Imperial Irriga-
ton district affairs, the county
board of supervisors yesterday aft
ernoon adopted a resolution con-
demning those who are agitating
against payment of district taxes
and assessments.
Pointing out that the welfare of
one public agency directly affects
the welfare of others, the resolution
attacked the efforts Of agitators
as detrimental to the credit and
integrity of the community.
Submitted by Dave Vencill of
Holtville, the resolution was unan-
imously adopted almost without
discussion, but after each member
of the board Of supervisors had
read it over,
The resolution follows:
Whereas, there is agitation and
propaganda designed to induce tax
payers to default in payment of
taxes and assessments of the I'M
perial Irrigation district and state
and county;
Whereas, injury to or default
of one public agency directly af-
fects every other agency, public or
private, in this county, and the
standing, credit and integrity of
our community;
Nov, therefore, be it resolved by
the board of supervisors of Imper-
isl county that this board condemn
the action of any individual or
group of individuals, that is done
for the purpose OF hindering or OBJ
structing the lawful acts of public
officials or of encouraging default
in the payment of taxes or assess
mentS."

What are you laughing at?"
snarled the Weasel.
AT youl" chuckled the Fox.
"Ha! Ha! How you let Uncle Wig
gily fool you yesterday with a yell
low May flower-calling it a LION.
Ha, Hal"
well, if you think you're SO
smart, why don't you go try to
catch that rabbit?" asked the
Weasel.
Il WILL said the Fox, looking at
| his wrist watch Its early yet
Uncle Wiggily is sure to be in his
bungalow. I'll go there and catch
him., just to show you how easy
,, it is"
TRY and do it," sneered the
Weasel.
Watch mel" chuckled the Fox
as he trotted off to the rabbits
hollow stump home. In his bunga-
low Uncle Wiggily was blackening
the stove to help Nurse Jane. He
had it almost finished when he
heard a knock on the kitchen
door
i wonder who that iS?" thought
the rabbit as he went to the door.
He was sorry he had done SO when,
looking out, he saw the Fox. But
the Fox made no jump to catch
the bunny. Instead the Bad Chap
said:
"Oh, excuse me! 1 thought Uncle
Wiggily was here. I made, a mis-
take. You're stranger to me. I
want Uncle Wiggily!"
why - why er Il = that is -
you -" stammered Uncle Wig
gily, who couldn't guess why the
Fox, looking right at him, didn't
make a jump to grab him. It was
very strange.
That's all right I'll call again
when Uncle Wiggily is home" said
the Fox and, turning about, he ran
away.
We'll, what does that mean?"
asked Uncle Wiggily. Just then
his wife entered the kitchen. "The
Fox called but he didn't know me"
said the rabbit gentleman.
mo wonder!" laughed his wife.
Look in the glass;"
Uncle Wiggily did SO and he
hardly knew himself. For he had
splattered stove blackening all over
his face and paws SO he looked like
a lump of coal. Oh, but he was a
black rabbit No wonder the Fox
didn't know him. "Ha Hal"
laughed the bunny. I'm glad l
cleaned the stovel"
So all things happen for the
best, you see, which is why peanuts
have shells on them. And if the
dusting brush will give the golf
ball some hairs to make a wig for
its bald head, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and Jackie

All CLUB BOYS
GET GOOD PRICE
FOR PRIZE HOGS

Keen competition marked the
annual market hog contest at the
All club field day held Saturday
morning at the fair grounds in
Imperial.
Out of the 20 pigs entered, the
Duuoc-Jersey raised by Richard
Mcbride, IL, of the Meloland All
club, won the contest and was sold
for 10 cents per pound to A. l..
Richmond Of the Planters hotel,
Brawley.
A Poland China, raised by Will
liam Schoneman, IL, Magnolia
club, BraWley, won second and was
sold at auction for 6 cents per-
pound to the Wholesale Meat COM
pany, CaleXico. Third place was
won by Oscar Bashaw, 13, Melo-
land club, whose Duroc cross-bred
gilt sold for 5 cents to the CAL
exico firm. Fourth place was won
by Howard Leslie, 10, Magnolia
club, for a Chester White gilt,
bought for 5 cents per pound by
the Calexico company. Fifth place
was taken by Billie Buffers, IL,
Magnolia club, whose Duroc gilt
sold for 5la cents and was bought
by the Pacific Land and Cattle
company, of Imperial.
The above firms were all repre-
sented and very generously paid
more than the market price for the
animals as their contribution to
the All club work in the valley.
They are encouraging All club
boys and girls to raise better ami
mails and to become better farm
ers. -Four cents per pound is the
top market price for hogs.
H. Lee Landerman, assistant
farm advisor in charge of All club
work, reports that the animals
were of good quality although some,
because of being too fat or under
finished, did not meet the qualifi-
cations of market hogs. Bud
Chamberlain of Calexico acted as
judge and D. L. zinn was the auc-
tioneer.
The remainder of the day was
spent in games, stunts and con-
tests. Bob Ralston, assistant state
All club leader, was present and
in his talk stated that this was the
best field day he had witnessed in
the valley. Ralston was present in
1916 and aided in the organization
of the first All clubs.
Individual standings of clubs in
the contest have not been worked
out as yet but will be announced at
later date, according to Lander
man. Over ITS boys and girls were
present for the events.

NISDIRECTED SYMPATHY

A CERTAIN MAN in Ohio, whose name
II we withhold because it is immaterial,
has Just given his pet dog a funeral
costing $1,000.
As this is written we have before us
4 picture showing the $500 casket in
which the dogs body repoSed, being low
cred into grave, while his master and
friends stand by sorrowfully.
This man undoubtedly has a kind and
loving heart. He is a wealthy sports
man, owning a string of race horses and
must be true lover of animals.
But we wonder if he has not carried
his love for animals too far. In these
days, with many deserving men, women
and children going hungry through no
fault of their own it seems entirely out
of line to spend so much money on a
dog, particularly when it can do the dog
no good.
We do not condemn the man in ques-
ton, for we cannot help but feel that
man who so loves animals, must also love
humans and it is quite logical to assume
that he does his share toward helping
the needy. But we regret that he saw
fit to spend so much money foolishly,
for by all standards of judgment, it was
foolishly spent.
1t brings to mind the French story
possibly from the Tale of Two Cities
about the French official who said if his
peasant subjects were starving they
could eat grass. Later the official had
a chance to eat grass himself, but his
meal came on the way to the guilotine.
Carrying his sympathy a step further,
the man plans to erect a mausoleum for
the dog, to cost another thousand dol
lars. His poorer neighbors can hardly
be blamed if they resent this, as they
probably will.
1t seems pity that such kindhearted-
ness should be misdirected. That is our
viewpoint. The man in question prob
ably feels fully justified in what he has
done but we doubt that many will agree
with him.

"Nonsense!" cried Mr.. Longears.
You should not have to stay in

dirty, dusty work. I don't like to
have you do it
Have no fear" begged Uncle
WiggiIy again. Leave the stove TO

SO Nurse Jane had no fears and
she "buzzed" along, as Uncle Wig
gily called it, while the rabbit gen.
tleman, who gave up his adventure

old clothes and went out in the
bungalow kitchen to clean ana
blacken the stove.

Wiggily. The night before Jingle

sugar molasses candy on the stove

over and the stove was anything
but clean.

cleaning rags and a box of stove
polish as black as night Then
the rabbit gentleman began to

AWAY WITH THEM!

THIS IS national music week, devoted
4 to instilling a greater consideration
for music of all kinds among the people
of the nation.
1t is worthwhile undertaking, for
there is nothing like music to cheer up
the individual and the country at large
From early times the American nation
has been a singing nation. Perhaps not
so much along the Atlantic Seaboard, for
singing, outside of church hymns, was
not exactly diversion in which the Pill
grim fathers INDUCED.
But the west was conquered and set
tied to the accompaniment Of music and
song. Perhaps the music was not as
good as the Italian masters could pro-
duce and the songs may have been ter
rible from an artistic standpoint, but
they expressed the feelings of the peo-
pie, reflecting their hardsnips and their
lighter moments.
They were rugged composed and used
by a rugged people. Which brings us to
the idea we have in writing of national
music week. Why can't our musicians
and our singers do something about two
evils which afflict modern music-the
masculine crooner and the feminine
blues shouter?
Men who have heard thousands of
husky fellows swinging along dusty road
to the tune of THE Long Trail, Over
There" or even the ribald "Madamois-
elle", squirm as they are forced to listen
to the velvety tones of the fair-haired
boys who climb into the upper register
until it is difficult to tell whether the
singer is masculine or feminine. Equally
obnoxious is the damsel who makes her
way through life by shouting songs in
the same section of the scale used by
Mississippi steamboat whistles.
There is nothing manly about the soft
moaning of the crooner; nothing femin-
inc about the raucous screeching of the
blues shouter. They are afflictions to
lovers of real singing and are as undesir
able as sour notes or flatted tones.
National music week might we'll start
a bit of house-cleaning by a movement
to eliminate these two evils.
