FIGHT CAUSES
EXCITEMENT AND
ARREST OF One

A fight which rocked the Heber
community to It's foundations and
called out a large percentage of
Heber townsfolk in what assumed
all the proportions of an intensive
manhunt today had landed M. L.
Hammond in the county Jail on
charge of assault with a deadly
weapon, and saw E. G. Johnson re-
covering from a blow on his head
with an automobile jack, the alleged
deadly weapon.
The manhunt began after fight
a mile and a half east of Heber
at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. After
the smoke of battle had cleared
away Johnson told officers Ham
mond hit him on the head with a
jack. Hammond, on the other,hand,
said johnson threatened him with
a hammer, and that he merely
struck more speedily than his op-
ponent. Johnson said he did not
have hammer.
After the fight Hammond disap-
peared. The case was brought to
the attention of Judge r. D. Jones
at Heber, who notified the sheriff's
office. When Lloyd Castanien and
Clayburn Poole arrived the man
hunt already was in progress, with
several Heber citizens taking part.
The officers traced Hammond to
a place mile and three-fourthS
north and a mile and a half west
of Heber, where he was arrested

UNCLE WIGGILY AND MISS
MOUSE

Skipping, hopping, running and
jumping around Uncle Wiggily's
hollow stump bungalow one day
were many little rabbit boys and
girls With them were some dog
boys, some pussy cat girls, and
other animal children.
"Wheel Aren't we having 1un!"
shouted Billie Bushytail, a squir-
rel.
Make all the noise you can!"
yelled Jackie Bow Wow.
And the animal children did.
They played seven different kinds
of tag games, including look tag,
in which, if anyone looks back to
see how close he is to being tagged,
he has to be 'it".
Dear mel What a noise the
children are makingl" said Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy who was put
ting some apples to sleep under
some crusty dough to make pie.
"It won't be much longer,
though said Uncle Wiggily, who
was getting ready to go adventur-

What won't be long?" asked

bit who, just then, hoped into the
bungalow, to get a drink. What

STRIKES

IL appears to be a season for strikes.
The farmers in the middle west and
the coal miners little further east and
now the airmen at Cleveland, Ohio.
Looking considerably further east, the
cotton workers in England have walked
out by the thousands, causing a tie-up
of one of England's greatest industries.
Nor can they be considered strikes in
the ordinary sense Of the word. They
represent more of protest than the av-
erage strike They express the dissatis-
faction of thousands of persons with
condition, which make it impossible for
them to obtain a living.
The farmers have entered new field
in staging a strike. They have hereto
fore taken less than production costs for
their products and have accepted this
condition as inevitable. Now they are
trying out the weapon which labor has
used with considerable success, for many
years, and it remains to be seen if they
can also obtain success.
Miners on strike is not a new condi-
ton. They have been compelled continu-
ally to strike in order to better their eff
forts to make a living for themselves
and their families. Men forced to work
beneath the ground, under excessive risks
to life and limb, are certainly entitled to
wages which will give them a decent liv-
ing at the least They have not always
been able to get such wages and are fire.
quently forced to use the only weapon
they know-the strike.
The airmen, also risking life and limb
for money and the applause of the multi
tude, have decided the prizes offered
them are not enough and demand that
they be doubled. AS this strike affects
only a comparatively small number, it
is not as important as the farmers and
miners strikes, but it also indicates the
restlessness that is current throughout
the nation.
England's strike, while none of our
business, has a bearing on American in
dustry, for the cotton used in the Eng
lish mills, comes from this country.
There are possibilities for considerable
disorder and bloodshed in the strikes of
the miners and farmers. Fortunately,
although there have been several clashes,
violence has thus far been kept at a min
imum. Nobody can say how long this
condition will last.
The American people are in the midst
of crisis that is industrial and agri-
cultural and while there is no need for
feeling that it will cause the collapse of
our national life, there is every reason
for leaders to give considerable study to
the situation and bend their efforts to
aid in its solution.

they're going to stay there until
the children come next week, and
then those Bad Chaps will catch
some of the little ones. This must
never bel I'll drive them out!"
AS Uncle Wiggily hoped very
close to the window, through which
! he had seen someone moving in
side the school, the rabbit heard
a voice calling:
Help! Help! Help!'
Who are you?" asked Mr.. Long
ears, getting ready to throw a
stone if he had to. Are you one
of the Bad Chaps?"
mo, I'm the Lady Mouse Teach
err was the answer.
"Oh, my dear Miss Mouse! I
beg your pardon" said Uncle Wig
gily. ,"I thought you were a Bad
Chap. Yes, I can see, now, but
what are you doing in school? 1t
hasn't started yet"
! Il know it hasn't" was the an
swer as the little mouse lady look
ed out of the window at Uncle
Wiggly. Il just came back from
my vacation to get ready to open
the school. AS 1 was hopping past
I thought I would go in to see if
everything was all right. I found
everything all right, but when I
tried to get out couldn't. The
door is stuck fast and I can't open
it. Do you think a Bad Chap might
be holding the door to keep me
inside?"
"Oh, no, nothing like that" said
the rabbit gentleman. II am out
side here and there is no Bad Chap
at ALL guess the door sticks be-
cause it hasn't been opened for a
long time. Wait, I'll give it a
push"
Uncle Wiggily gave the door a
push, Miss Mouse gave it a pull
and then it opened and the teach
er could come out.
THANK you SO much," she said
to the rabbit, as she crept home.
1T isn't any fun to be locked all
alone in a school, Mr.. Longcars
said he believed it wasn't. And
then he hoped home. So if the
needle will kindly brush the hair
on the head of the pin, I'll tell

CLEAN CAMPAIGNING

TODAY marks the end of Imperial
county's pre-primary campaign, and
the public will get a slight respite from
politics after the votes are counted Tues
day night to last until the campaign for
the November election gets under way.
The primary campaign has been
marked by considerable lethargy on the
part of candidates and the voters, there
beng noticeable absence of the inter-
est which existed in elections for sever
al years past.
There has also been practically a
complete absence of mud singing and
whispering campaigns, for which the
various candidates are to be congratulate
ed. In small community such as ours,
where there are so many contacts in bus
mess and social life, bitter political cam
palgns can do the community no good.
They keep strife and dissension stirred
up long after the original causes of dis
pntes have been forgotten.
On the whole the campaign has been
conducted exceptionally WELL with follow
ers of the various candidates and the
candidates themselves working hard for
their particular causes, but abstaining
from painting opponents and their fol-
lowers in undesirable colors
With even fewer candidates to be con-
sidered in the November election, even
though partisan politics may give a
greater stimulus to the campaign, we
trust that the same conditions will pre-
vail.
The rank and file of the voters have
long since viewed with disgust, the can
didate who tarred his opponent with a
black stick, and the candidates them
selves are beginning to adopt this view
point 1t is a viewpoint which should
have the support and cooperation of ev-
cry good citizen.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2e.-Chair-

Some others would have been

"Then you children will have to

around the bungalow. 1t won't be

"Oh, dear! Please don't speak of

drink, she ran back to where the
other children were playing tag,
and said: What do you think?
School will start again after La
Dor Day"
Pooh! Who cares?" asked Bus
ter, boy rabbit. 1--WE can have
some fun now. Whoopeel"
So the animal children played,
forgetting all about school, which
was soon to reopen after the long
vacation But Uncle Wiggily said to
himself:
Il think I had better hop past
the school and see if everything is
ready for the opening Perhaps l
had better see if Miss Mouse is
back from her vacation ready to
hear the lessons. Yes, I'll hop past
the school and take a look"
It wasn't far from Uncle Wig
gily's bungalo to the Hollow
Stump School and soon the rab-
bit gentleman was close to the
place where the children studied
their lessons. AS he went closer
he saw, through window, some
thing moving about in the school.

TIME TO RETURN TO THE USE OF
 THE CABLE.

Last year when the Seattle Chamber Of Commerce and delegation of Alaskans conferred with Gen. Griffin then in command of the United States Signal Corps, concerning the proposal to change from the cable system to radio in the transmission of telegrams and news dispatches to Alaska, the latter promised that if the radio did not give better service than the cable the Government would return to the use of the cable We have now had radio service for more than six months and it has been demonstrated that it is not nearly as satisfactory as the cable was And it cannot be said that the trial has not been fair one Competent and accommodating men of the Signal Corps have been in charge of the work. They have done their best. They have tried so hard to do well that The Empire would rather put up with the trying vexations newspaper since last October than to complain if it thought complaint would put the personnel of the Alaska radio service in bad.
 We have waited for months patiently for im- provement in the news service, but the manner in which the recent primary election returns have been be a virtue The time has when fulfilment of the promise to return to the of the cable ought to be forthcoming The cable can handle a great deal more traffic and do it in a far more satisfactory manner than the radio. The radio ought to be an auxiliary to be used in case the cable would accidentally go out of commission. The radio is not satisfactory at it's best and in case of an emergency like transmitting election news it is terrible
