BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD Z. GARRIs
Copyright, 1925 BY Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

No sooner did Mr.. Twistytail
start to chase him, than Uncle
Wiggily, like a flash of lightning,
ran down into his cubbyhole and
so quickly that the pig never saw
which way he went. All Mr.. Twisty-
tail knew was that Uncle Wiggily
was gone.
well, that was clever!" grunted
the fat pig, looking around but
seeing no rabbit. where are you,
Wiggy? Come outl" he called.
well, I'll come out now, for you
aren't really Bad Chap" laughed
the bunny gentleman as he bobbed
up out of the hole beneath the
sassafras bush. But if you had
been the Fox I'd have stayed hid
den until you went away
VERY clever! Very clever"
painted the pig, for, being fat, he
easily got out of breath when he
ran. Have you any more cubby-
holes?"
"Yes, there's one over there" and
Uncle Wiggily pointed his paw.
You don't mean that scratchy
thorn bush, do you?" asked the pig.
"Yes, I do said Mr.. Longears.
THE thorn bush is only scratchy
and prickly on top. Under it l
have very good hiding place and
even if the Bad Chaps happened
to see me they couldn't get me.
The thorns would stick them
I'D like to see that happen, "
grunted the pig
We'll, l think you're going to,
very soon!" whispered the rabbit.
Here comes the Fox. He's seen
me but he won't bother you Watch
me fool him Suddenly the Fox
rushed up barking:
"Tll get you! I'll get you!"
"Oh, will you? Well, let's see
about that" chuckled Mr.. Long
ears.
Folding back his long ears and
sticking his little tail straight up
in the air, the bunny gentleman
ran fast straight for the thorn bush.
But instead of jumping into the
bush, as did the wondrouS wise
man, Mr.. Longears made dive
for his cubbyhole beneath it in the
| earth.
Up came the Fox, running fast.
He ran so fast that he couldn't
| stop when he got to the thorn bush,
but into it he plopped. The thorns
stuck him and pricked him and
held him fast so he couldn't get
loose and then Uncle Wiggily ran
out, laughing and went on walking
with Mr.. Twistytail And the fat
pig laughed, too. So it all hap
pened for the best.
And if the fried egg will stop
jumping out of the hammock to
tickle the slice of bacon, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the
golf ball.

COURT SUSTAINS
APPEAL FILED IN
LOCAL DECISION

M. j. Alexander purchased gas
oline from the Shell Oil company
of California six cents under the
current retail price, sold at three
cents under the retail price, and
bore an operating expense of three
cents gallon; therefore he made
no profit on the day he sold 300
gallons of gasoline at a lower price
than his competitors.
This was the reasoning oil Judges
of the Fourth District Court of
Appeals in an opinion, a copy of
which was received here yesterday
afternoon, reversing Judgment
given in Judge A. C. Finney's court
for Alexander against the Shell
company.
A jury in Judge Finney's court
had awarded Alexander $4,000 dam
ages because the Shell company
preached a contract in refusing to
deliver gasoline to him at a price
six cents under the current retail
price at Holtville, after he slashed
the price and sold gasoline at a
lower rate than other dealers.
The Shell company appealed from
the verdict, and the appeal was
sustained.
1t was the reasoning of the ap-
pellate court that Alexander COM
puted his damages on one day,
when he sold 300 gallons of gasoline
at a price three cents under the
retail price. Testimony at the trial
was that his operating expense
amounted to three cents a gallon.
Since this totaled the six cent mar
gin on which Alexander could OPP
crate, the appellate court held that
he would have made no profit If
allowed to continue.
BY the verdict of the jury Alex
ander made profit, but by selling
gasoline as he was doing he would
not have done SO, according to the
opinion filed at the county clerk {
office

WHY NOT?

THOSE of us who remained in the val
ley over the recent weekend holiday,
can testify to the large number of "Out-
siders" who visited here during that
time.
Most of them appeared to be from the
coast areas. We are unable to state how
we know, but they looked that way"
whatever that way" is
This same influx of visitors is notice
able every holiday. Some of them are
attracted here no doubt because of our
proximity to the international line, and
a visit here affords opportunity for
visit to Mexico and an opportunity To
indulge in recreatiOns supposedly for-
hidden on the American side of the line.
But it is not fair to say that major
ity come here for that purpose. Talks
with several of them convinced us that
they were really interested in seeing
what Imperial Valley looks like. Sew
eral of them confessed they had long
known of the valley but had never visit
ed here previously.
Some admitted having a mental pic
ture of the valley that resembled scenes
they had witnessed in Beau Geste' and
other desert films. None with whom we
talked had visualized modern cities, eX-
tensive crops and herds.
While Sunday was a warm day, as
summer days go here, practically all
stated it was not as hot as they had been
led to believe, both from coast propa-
ganda and from the exaggerated state
ments of valley residents visiting on the
coast.
In nearly every case the visitors said
they have been favorably impressed by
what they had seen while touring around
through the valley, and that numerous
false ideas they had obtained from hear
say had been routed by actual contact.
1t is certain that ignorance relative to
the valley is widespread in California.
The valleyite in general is better ac-
quainted with other parts Of California
than other parts of California are ac-
quainted with the valley.
The reason for this article is thls-if
people are willing to come down from
the coast and other parts of the state
TO visit here in summer, 1t ought to be
a comparatively easy matter to get
plenty of them down here in the summer.
Excursions are run here throughout the
winter from San Diego. Why couldn't
something of the sort be started from
Los Angeles?
incidentally, we saw several OF our
fat tourist friends" of both sexes, and
they did help to make Sunday and Mon
day seem little less uncomfortable
than they really were.

That's a good ideal" wheezed the
pig. But I'd need a very large
cubbyhole to hide in, I guess
Indeed you would" chuckled
Uncle Wiggily. You are so fat"
81 can't seem to get thinl"
grunted the pig. Il suppose it's
because I'm so fond of eating. I
never can seem to get enough. But
there's one thing about me. Pm
so big and fat that none of the
Bad Chaps bother to chase me, SO
I don't need cubbyholes to hide in"
That's where you're lucky" said
Uncle Wiggily with a sigh. why,
some days I do nothing but pop in
and out of my cubbyholes to keep
away from the Bad Chaps.
I'D like to see you do it" grunted
Mr.. Twistytail
Nothing is easier" spoke Mr..
Longears. 1--WE are now on a path
in the woods" he added Il have
hiding place near here"
Then" said the pig, eagerly,
lets pretend I'm the Fox. I'll
make believe chase you"
And I'll hide from you in my
nearest cubbyhole," laughed Mr..
Longears.
Have you a hiding place near
here?" asked the pig.
That's a secret" chuckled the
rabbit. But go onl Pretend to
chase me, and I'll show you what
I do"
"All right! Here I come!' loudly
grunted the pig. I'm the Foxi
I'm the Wolf! I'm the Bob Cat!"
he yelled
"Well, your tail is as little as
tbe Bob Cats, but it isn't quite so
silly" spoke the bunny uncle. "All
right! Chase mel'
Mr.. Twistytail, pretending TO be
all three Bad Chaps made into one,
ran down the path after the rab-
bit. But Uncle Wiggily knew what
to do even if this was only a game.
Quickly the rabbit gentleman be-
gan to hop toward where. beneath

fore he had dug himself hiding

professed amazement when they
learned that there had been some
merriment over the selection of the
name of "FroIessol skinner" as a

them that it means to skin" some
one in a business deal. according
to American usage of the queens
English.
THE word has no such conno-
tation in England" they explained,
and probably wrote back home that
it would be well if in the future
Englishmen desiring to travel in
cognito in the United States call
themselves Smith or Cholmondeiay
or something like that.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S THORN
RIJSH

Uncle Wiggily, like all rabbits
and such other timid animals as
must need fear larger and stronger
creatures, had a number of hiding
places out in the woods and fields.
Though Mr. Longears lived in a
jolly hollow stump bungalow, when
he went adventuring he seldom
hoped far from some place where
he could hide in case any of the
Bad Chaps chased him which often
happened.
Yes, I have a number of cubby-
holes, as I call them" Uncle Wig
gily said one day to Mr.. Twistytail,
the fat pig gentleman with whom
he was taking a walk. LAS soon
as the Fox, the Wolf or the Bob
Cat, with his silly little tail, start
to chase me, I run to my nearest
cubbyhole and hide there until it
is safe to come out"

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
AN ANNUAL TRAGEDY

1T is again the season for forest fires in
L California and the terrible red men,
ace" is claiming its toll in several parts
of the state ga ssRsasazl
Valley residents may believe they are
not directly concerned with forest fires,
because we have no forests here, but
the fires are in California and Califor-
MIA is our state, as much our home as is
Imperial Valley.
1t is bad enough to read of forest fires
caused by lightning, or even from the
careless smoker or camper, but each year
we are given conclusive proof by state
authorities that many of the fires are
set deliberately. Right now there are
nine such fires reported burning in the
northern part of the state.
Only recently two men were fined in
San Diego county for having deliberate
ly set forest fire. They explained that
they hoped thereby to be able to get
work fighting fires. Incidentally the
men are Indians, sad reflection on the
state into which the white man has
forced the Indian. The ancestors of
those two men never deliberately des-
troyed their forests.
This same reason is advanced for some
of the fires in the north. 1t is difficult
to understand the mind of a person who
would wilfully cause damage and loss
to others in order TO provide work for
himself. The act may be assigned to the
fundamental law of self-preservation,
but even this is no valid excuse for it.
California's forests are among its most
beautiful treasures. Those who attempt
to destroy them should be dealt with as
severely as if they tried to put bomb
under the capitol at Sacramento, for
they most assuredly threaten destruction
of life and property by their acts. Only
a step behind them in culpability is the
careless individual whose negligence,
bordering on the criminal, also causes
fires.
