UNCLE WIGGILY AND BABY'S
BLANKET

They were talking about babies
Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. Twistytail
the pig gentleman-one day when
they had met in the woods while
the rabbit was looking for an ad-
venture.
Speaking of babies" grunted the
fat pig, when our Squeakie
Squealer was little pig she had
funny trick of never going to
sleep until she could take hold of
piece of soft, wizzie fizZy blanket
in one paw. Then she would put
part of her other paw in her mouth
and humble something like num-
mie mummie,' and presto! she
would go to sleep at once"
"Ha! That was a cute little
trick for Squeakie Squealer to play
with her go to sleep blanket" said
Uncle Wiggily with a laugh. THAT
reminds me that when Baby Bunty,
the orp han rabbit, was little she
did the same thing. She wouldn't
go to sleep until she could hold a
piece of fizzie wizzie blanket, soft
and woody in her left paw She
would put her right paw in her
mouth, though it isn't a very nice
habit, and off to sleep she would
CO."
Just like Squeakie Squealer!"
grunted Mr.. Twistytail. And do
you know" he went on in a low
voice to Uncle Wiggily, my little
pig still wants her blanket when
she goes to bed"
$50 does Baby Buntyl" whispered
Uncle Wiggily. 1T is very queer,
but even now, old as she is, if
Baby Bunty loses her "bankie,' as
she calls 1t, out Of her bed before
she goes to sleep, she makes sucn
a fuss that have to hop up stairs,
hunt around on the floor in the
dark until I have found baby'j
blanket and give 1t to her. Their
she is contented!"
Just Ike Squeakie Squealer!"
chuckled Mr.. Twistytail. Many
night 1 have heard her crying for
her 'bankie,' as she, also, calls it,"
Still I don't mind it, said Uncle
Wiggily.
Nor L" grunted the fat pig
gentleman with jolly laugh. "I
love babies"
80 do II" said Mr.. Longears.
"It may be wrong for Baby Bunty
to want her 'bankie' when she goes
to sleep, but what is the jharm?"
That's what say-where is the
harm?" asked the pig. well, I'm
glad to have met you to talk about
our babies blankets"
THE same to you and more Of
them" wished Uncle Wiggily.
Then he hoped one way and
Mr.. Twistytail waddled the other
way and when Uncle Wiggily had
hoped the other way for some
distance he came to the eight and
nine cenk store. In one window
were sd nice new, soft, fizzie
wizzie, 8oly blankets.
"I'll get Baby Bunty a new
blanket to go to sleep with" said
Mr.. Longears as he entered the
store. THAT one of hers that she
murmurs, 'nummie mummie' about
is worn out"
AS Uncle Wiggily hoped into the
store, the Fuzzy Fox who had heard

WASHINGTON, March 29.-One
of the latest government publica-
tions takes up the subject of alco-
hol and one learns a lot Of things
about that liquid which gets so
much publicity and assorted at
tention these days.
Facts Concerning Industrial AL
cohol" is the title Of the booklet.
1t is put out by the treasury de-
partment, bureau of industrial al
cohol, and takes the form Of 2
catechism.
Does the government poison al
cohol to enforce prohibition?" it
asks, for instance. And then it
promptly answers.
mo. The governments first
duty is to guard the federal revenue
by making denatured alcohol unfit
for beverage purposes"
THE general public has mani
tested a desire to know more about
the constructive and lawful uses
of alcohol" the introduction says,
indicating perhaps that the gov
ernment feels the public has ex-
plored the unlawful uses quite
thoroughly by this time
And then a perusal of the 48-page
pamphlet reveals these facts among
others:
That 1T, 900 persons, corporations
and firms have permits to deal
legally in denatured alcohol
That the government believes it
is entirely impossible to denature
alcohol in a way making removal
Of the denaturant impossible.
That the government uses one
formula for completely denaturing
alcohol and 68 others for denatur-
ing it for use in special industries.

CAREFUL CHOOSING REQUIRED

THE recent death of ". F. Beal. di-
L rector Of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, creates a vacancy on the district
board, which, under the law, must be
filled by the board of supervisors, upon
whom rests the duty and responsibility
OF choosing the new member.
While custom and courtesy might die
tate that the north end supervisor NOM
mate the new district director, the en-
tire board Of supervisors will be held re-
sponsible for the selection made.
1t is most desirable that the man chos-
en- should not be an appointee of political
favor, personal regard or the pay-off of
a political obligation.
No man should be appointed unless he
will devote his time and energies to re-
store the credit and confidence of the
public in the financial integrity of the
Imperial Irrigation District and to the
solution of the various problems which
now confront the district.
No man should accept the appoint
ment unless he is willing to bury his Sec
tional prejudices, his personal animoSi-
ties and his political self-gratification
There has never been greater need on
the board for men of sound ability wis
dom, unprecedented loyalty to the COM
munity and courage under fire.
This is a time for harmony, coopera-
ton, common sense and above all, hard
work, on the part of all members of the
board. 1t is a time for clear thinking
and constructive captivity.
The north end is entitled to the high
est type of representative the board of

TENNESSEE'S TROUBLES

HCIlON of the governor of Tennessee,
IA In upholding the ousting of group
OF eastern students from his state, af-
lords opportunity for considerable spec
ulation.
Tennessee has been wracked by a series
of coal strikes, in which many unsavory
incidents have occurred There has been
violence and bloodshed on the part of
striking miners and operators, with
enough blame on both sides to make
them equally guilty.
The students in question asserted they
wished to visit Tennessee to see for
themselves Just what conditions in the
coal fields really are. Denied the right
usually accorded all, for free intercourse
between the states, the students were told
by the governor that he did not want
bunch of Bolsheviks, Anarchists or
Communists interfering with the peace
of Tennessee.
To the bystander it would appear that
If Tennessee had nothing within its bor-
derS of which it is ashamed, it would not
care how many outsiders visited the state.
1t would welcome investigation by any
one who desired to make an investigation.
On the other hand there is very evi-
dent opinion that some of these students
have been listening to radical speakers
and have been imbued with the ideas of
the so-called "parlor pinks''.
Had the governor permitted the stu
dents to enter the state and given them
a welcome, it is quite likely that little
attention would be paid to their visit.
By ordering them out he has made them
martyrs in their own eyes, and if they
are inclined toward radicalism, this is
the very role for which they wish.
The weather man appears to have mixed
up Easter with Christmas for the folks
back in the East.
