Nurse James party" said the
bunny.
Uncle Wiggily picked up the first
red roses he had gathered. He put
them in a bunch with the lasJ
ones, which had been the cause
of his fall into the brook and, hold
ing the beautiful red blossoms up
to look at them, he said:
How wonderful you. are! Red
roses in June for Nurse James sur
prise party! Oh, but she will be
astonished' And Miss Fuzzy was,
sort Of double surprised as you
shall see.
In looking at the roses Uncle
Wiggily never thought to look at
himself or his clothes after he had
fallen into the mud and water. II
he had-well, we'll come to that
part pretty soon.
I'll take the red roses to Nurse
Jane now said tho rabbit gentle
man.
He hoped away. If I go fast
my clothes will dry 20 time for
the surprise party
By this time Mrs. Longears,
helped by Aunt Lettie, the goat, and
by Mrs. Twistytail, the fat lady pig
had arranged everything for the
party Secretly they had telephoned
TO a number of animal housakeep-
ing ladies who were friends of the
muskrat and they had promised to
come to the party. There was
plenty of carrot shortcake, cabbage
longcake and parsnip middle-sized
cake. There was also ice cream
made out Of clover and honey
All the good things had been
hidden in the pantry. One by one
the other animal lady housekeepers
had secretly come TO the front
door of Uncle Wiggily's hollow
stump bungalow, and had been
smuggled in by Mrs. Longear5 and
her friends. Soon the animal boys
and girls would be home from
school, for they, too, were TO come
to the party.
Ill send Nurse Jane out on the
back steps a moment" whispered
Mrs. Longears to Mrs. Twistytail.
while she is there Wen set the
table and then Wen tell her to
some back"
And well shout: Surprise On
Janie'!" grunted the lady pig.
So Nurse Jane went to the bacl,
porch to bring in the broom which
Mrs. Littletail pretended she had
left there. And, all Of a sudden a
voice there said:
See the pretty red roses, Janier'
Nurse Jane looked. She saw an
animal covered with mud sloppy
with water, streaked with dust and
spotted with brambles.
oh a tramp! A tramp dogn'
cried Nurse Jane hopping into the
house. But the strange figure ran
9fter her saying Don't you know
me? 7 have brought red roses for
your partyw

Nurse Jane. And all the animal
ladies cried "Go away! Go awayr'

paws slipped and he fell into the
water.
But Uncle Wiggily was like a
cork. No sooner had he fallen into
the water than he bobbed up again
and, though he wasn't a good
swimmer, for few rabbits are, he
managed to flap, flip and founder
to the shore. He caught hold Of
the long grass on the bank of the
brook and, holding fast, tried TO
pull himself up. But as he held in
one paw the last big cluster of red
roses he had picked, he only had
one other paw TO use in pulling
himself out by the grass. And one
paw wasn't enough. Sliding on the
slippery mud on the bank of the
brook, Uncle Wiggily plopped into
the water again.

CHAPLIN SPEAKS

IF we remember rightly, the Charlie
Chaplin who was glad to return to
Hollywood this week. is the same gentle
man who was through with Hollywood"
several months ago while hobnobbing
with European ariStocracy.
According to newspaper accounts at
that time, Hollywood and the U. S. A. in
general were a bit too provincial for
the funny man. We were extremely shy
on appreciation of artistic talents. That
was a statement difficult to understand,
for it was Americas appreciation of
Chaplin's art CD that raised him from
poverty of the English slums to the role
of a millionaire, capable of mixing with
society that would never have noticed
him had it not been for his money and
his position in the films.
He came here first from England as
an unknown and obscure vaudeville actor
when the movies were in their infancy.
The movies made him, and he helped
make the movies, and the American peo-
pie made them both.
Of course Charles statement made
several months ago, assuming that he
really made it, was not taken literally.
His new version of being glad to be back
in Hollywood, may be taken so. 1t is
the truth Charlie, like any of us would
be, is glad to get back where the dollars
come from. He is not to be censured for
that.
There is nothing important about eth
er statement. Charlie was just follow

CENTRAL UNION
PREPARING FOR
BORDER ELEVEN

Although Central Union high
schools football team meets Holt
vile in a league game at Holtville,
probably at 2:30 Friday afternoon,
the Spartan team today began pre-
paration for a decisive contest with
Calexico high school here Novem-
Der 10.
Holding down third place in the
league over which they reigned
champions last year, the Spartans
still have fighting chance at the
championship, but that chance will
hinge upon the outcome of the
game with Calexico and another
with Brawley.
Calexico's victory over Holtville
last week and Brawley's tie game
with Ell Centre put Brawley in the
lead with two games won, one tied
and none lost. CaleXico is second
with two games won and one lost,
while e. Centre has won one, lost
one and tied one.
The outcome of the next CaleX-
ico-Brawley game also will have a
direct bearing on the league stand
ings. Should Brawley and Ell Cen
tro win this week, Brawley will have
a record of three victories and one
tie, Ell Centre will have two vic
tories, one tie and one loss, and
Calexico will have two victories and
two defeats. Holtville has not yet
won a game.
