THE KING IS DEAD

THE March King" is dead and the
world of music has lost figure who
swung the baton over some of the great
est band organizations in the world.
Great as he was as band conductor,
John Phillip Sousa was even greater as
a composer, and as long as there is an
American nation, men will march to the
stirring air of The Stars and Stripes
Forever, lei Captain, Washington
POST, 'Semper Fidelis', and other child
rem of his fertile brain.
There are other conductors perhaps as
great as Sousa, but there was about him
something which he alone possessed
the ability to sway his band and his au-
dience so that in a sense they were one
body instead of performers and listen
erS.
For more than half a century his name
has been in the front rank of American
band music and there was none to dis
pute his right to preeminence.
He who can lift men out of their ord
mary selves and inspire them with some
thing idealistic, whether it be musical,
religious, artistic or what not, is gen.
ius. Sousa was genius and the world
is bit happier because of his stay in
it.
Maybe the last laugh" is coming our
way. The east and midwest are getting
a touch of belated winter

Japanese Has
Little Chance

Creases of worry might have fur
rowed the brow of Frank Reading,
deputy United States marshal, Sat-
urday afternoon at the prospect of
taking two Chinese and one Jap
anese to San Diego for trial by the
federal court, but early this morn
ing the officer threatened to call
out the riot squad when one more
Chinese was added to his list.
With just two Chinese against
one japanese it might have been a
comfortable little war on the road
to the coast city and trial for il
legal entry into the United States
Reading believed, but with ont
more Chinese in the gathering it
threatened to turn into a riot.

Bunty was talking to Nurse Jane.

Mr. Longears.
"Oh, Unkie Wig!' cried the lit
tie orphan rabbit. ITS wonderful
Wee, tiny pussies growing on a
tree, all nice and fuzzy. May I
pick a pussy for myself?"
What in the world does the
child mean?" asked Nurse Jane.
"Pussies growing on tree! She
must pc talking in her sleep!'
"Oh, no, I'm wide awake" said
Bunty. See my eyes,"
II know what she means" said
Uncle Wiggily with a laugh.
What does she mean?" asked
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
She means the pussy willow
tree growing at the end Of my
yard, spoke Mr.. Longears. 1T is
nearly spring, you know, and the
little fuzzy things Bunty saw grow
ing on the tree are the buds, or
flowers, that always come out on
pussy willow trees before the
leaves appear. They do look like
soft little pussies. 1 don't wonder
/ that you were fooled, Bunty."
"Oh, aren't they real little
pussies?" asked the orphan rabbit.
NO" said Uncle Wiggily, "the
soft fuzzy things are only tree
blossoms. Mother Nature gives
them a fuzzy dress to keep them
warm in the cold weather Of esrly

Lodi Prisoner
Admits Staying
Man In Valley

County officers today were in
vestigating the report from Lodi
police that man, known as Will
liam or Wenzel Bozgo, killed an
other whose last name was given
as Hammond. near Fish Springs
in December, 1929.
Few details were given, except
that Bozgo is in custody in Lodi,
and supposedly has made admis-
sions which led Lodi police to be-
lieve he was implicated in slay-
ing in Imperial Valley two years
ago.
According to the message re-
ceived here, Hammond was beaten
to death with a short length of
lead pipe.
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke said
today no record has been found of
murder near Fish Springs in
1929, but that body was found
there in February, 1890. 1t had
been on the desert some time, he
said, and there were no indications
the dead man had been struck on
the head.

were left on the tree
May I see them grow?' asked
Bunty.
YES" answered Uncle Wiggily.
You will see how the little fuzzy
buds, like pussies, become big cat
kins and finally turn into leaves" 4"
"Oh, that's wonderful, too," said
Bunty.
Then she hoped along to recite
her lessons to the Lady Mouse
Teacher in the Hollow Stump
School, and Uncle Wiggily went
to the end of his garden to gather
pussy willow tree branches to put
in water.
"Yes, they are coming out
nicely" said the rabbit gentleman
as he saw the fuzzy buds. I'll
gather a few to show my WIFE
Uncle Wiggily was breaking off
some of the pussy willow branches
when, all of a sudden, he heard a
noise behind bush and, taking
quick look, he saw the Bob Cat
Sinking along.
"Ah, hal He's after me-" thought
Mr.. Longears. BUT he hasn't seen

bush. I'll jump up in the pussy

the bunny rabbit safe up in the
tree, hidden among the "pussies'

Bob Cat.

Chap. Uncle Wiggily was here a
little while ago, for I see the marks
of his paws in the snow. But where
is he now? That is what I want
to know. Where is he noW?"
The Bob Cat was a silly, stupid
Bad Chap. He walked all around
the pussy willow tree, in which
Uncle Wiggily was sitting above
his head, but the Bob Cat never
thought of looking up. If he had
he would have seen the rabbit.
"As long as he doesn't see me,
I'm safe" though Mr.. Longears.
The Bob Cat walked all around
the tree and then sat down beneath
it, purring, mewing and saying
well, I'll wait here for Uncle
Wiggily to come back. Then I'll
get him!"
"Oh, dear! What shall I do?"
thought the bunny in the tree.
And what he did to get away from
the Bob Cat I'll tell you tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, March 7. U,R)-
There has been much talk from
time TO time that the country IS
becoming too standardized; that
all men are smooth-shaven; that
they always wear single or double

the presidential office is filled By
the priest of standardization.
