you are just in time, Bub,
said Uncle Wiggily with a smile
and a pinkle of his twink nose. I'm
another moment I would be hop
ping over the fields and through
the woods and you would have
missed me-"
Il could have run after you,
spoke Little Bub, taking one of
Uncle Wiggily's paws in his club
by hand
Then you might have been lost"
said the rabbit. $50 I am glad you
are with me, Little Bub. Now you
will not get lost"
And shall we nave an adven-
ture, Unkie Wig?" asked the rain
bow boy, speaking a little like
Baby Bunty, the orphan.
"Oh, hope we have very jolly
adventure, Unkie Wig?" asked the
rabbit. So away he hoped with
Bub beside him, and after a while
the rainbow boy asked this ques-
ton.
Are you going any place spe-
cial, Unkie Wig?"
yes" answered Mr.. Longears.
Il am going to look for cranber-
ries. 1t will not be long, now, to
Thanksgiving and Nurse Jane told
me to be on the lookout for cram
berries to make into sauce.
"I'll help you look for cranber-
ries," offered Little Bub.
THAT will be nice" spoke the
rabbit gentleman. But do you
know cranberries when you see
them, Bub?"
"Oh, nor answered the little
boy. Are they anything like straw
berrieS?"
well, they are the same color, y
answered Uncle Wiggily. but cram
berries grow in a bog, or swamp,
most of the time, and strawberries
grow on a sunny hill. Besides,
strawberries are gone, long ago,
but Thanksgiving cranberries are
just getting ripe. You shall see
some very soon. Run along with
mel"
So Bub ran along and Uncle
Wiggily hoped along and in a
little while, all of a sudden, the
rainbow boy, who had gone on
ahead, came to low bush and no
sooner had he seen what was grow
ing on it than he shouted:
"Oh, Unkie Wig Come, quick
I've found a lot of red marbles. A
lot of pretty, red, round marbles!
Look"
The rabbit gentleman hoped up
and looked and when he saw what
Bub was pointing at with a chubby
finger, Mr.. Longears began to
laugh.
whats the matter?" asked Lit
tie Bub. Aren't they nice mar
bles?"
Those are cranberries, not mar
bles," chuckled Uncle Wiggily
You found them before I did, Buo,
even if you didn't know them"
"Oh! SO these are cranberries
are they?' asked the little boy.
And very fine ones, too" said
Mr.. Longears.
Are you going to pick them
now?" asked Bub.
mot now," replied the bunny
uncle. "Ill let them stay on the
bush until nearer Thanksgiving
Then I'll hop here again and pick

SCHOOL TO HOLD
OWN ELECTION

A valuable lesson in civics is be-
ing planned in a most entertain
ing form for children of Wilson
school. A presidential election in
which all the proper political forms
will be observed is scheduled for
tomorrow and the children will
vote on all candidates just as will
the adults.
The ballots are being mimeo-
graphed today and will be quite
similar to the official ballot al
though somewhat shortened to fit
the needs. The prescribed proceed
ure for a national election will be
carried out and in this way the
children will learn by actual per-
Torrance the method of electing a
president.

The ininitable VIII Rogers, in
TOO Busy to Work, is the attrac-
ton at United Artists theatre to-
night when the famous comedians
latest film will open a three nights
engagement.
In his latest release Rogers has
abandoned the wealthy man" roles
which have characterized his more
recent efforts in the movies and
has gone back to the sort of char
acter he portrayed several years
ago when he first ventured into
silent pictures.
TOO Busy to Work is based on
"Jubilo,' one of these earlier pic
lures, with Rogers in the role Of
a tramp who is too busy TO find
employment.
All the philosophy and humor
which have made the Oklahoma
cowboy one of the most famous
personalities in the world, are re-
tanned in this new picture and
those film fans who are Rogers
followers, will be more entertained
now that he has DOTTED the rich
type" Of acting.
In his role of a tramp, wander
ing along the road, he finds time
to help people with their troubles,
and in particular the love affairs
of a young couple who are having
a difficult time of it.
Marian Nixon and Dick Powell
are the supporting leads, being cast
as the young couple who are aided
by the wandering philosopher.
Rogers sallies, which have such
a keen way of hitting human frail-
ties and the topics of the day, are
generously sprinkled throughout
the dialogue.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING
OSBORNE MAKES
STATEMENT ON
HIS CANDIDACY

In presenting myself as a candi-
date for supervisor in the second
district, I take this means of in
forming the voters regarding my
stand on certain matters in which
all of us should be vitality inter-
ested, and ask their serious consid-
Grafton of these matters before de-
Gliding how they will vote for SUI
pervisor on election day.
Tax Reduction
This is the most essential mat
ter requiring the attention of the
board of supervisors, and if elect
ed it shall receive my first and
full interest, and 1 shall make ev-
cry effort to bring it about as soon
as it is possible to do so.
Imperial county has an eXcep-
tionally high tax rate. There are
only seven other counties in the
state with a higher tax rate and
Imperial county is one of the ex-
| tremely few which increased its
tax rate this year.
If the sincere desire to reduce
taxation exists, the board of super
visors can find a way to reduce it,
and pledge myself to do my share
to bring this about.
Economy In Government
Certainly if economy of the most
severe type was ever justifiable in
our history, this is the proper time
for it. The board of supervisors
should not permit any expenditure
that can possibly be avoided and
should use every effort to insist
upon county officials operating
their various departments with &C.
onomy as their foremost idea.
There are numerous places where
large and small expenditures can
be avoided and steps to do SO
should not be side-stepped.
Efficiency In Government
There is considerable overlapping
of authority and of duties in our
county government. I favor elm
nation of those who may be hold
ing down non-essential positions
by reason of political patronage
If the position is not necessary it
should not be filled merely to at
tract votes. No man should be
deprived of an honest job and no
man should be permitted to fill a
dishonest job.
Road Districts
I believe more of our county
roads can be placed in good con-
dition for all seasons of the year by
a better and more efficient dis
tribution of men and equipment.
In fact I think the ideal situation
is to have one man at the head
of our county roads and 1t would
be my aim to work with the other
supervisors to bring this about, If
not by the abolishing of road dis
tricts at least by consolidation
of men and equipment.
My Qualifications
I have been a resident of I'm
perial county for Is years. I am
a taxpayer and know the taxpay-
er's problems; I have been and am
now a rancher and I know his
problems; I have been a business
man and know that many of his
problems coincide with these of the
rancher. I make no pretense of
being able to overcome every I'M
desirable feature that may exist
in our county government, but l
pledge the voters that it shall be
my first and foremost aim to give
them an honest, conscientious and
efficient service, if I am elected
supervisor, the same as I would
give to my own personal affairs
and on that basis your vote is
solicited and will be appreciated.

 NEG artists, newspaper column list and others who frequent the NEG studios were agreeably sur- prised the other day to find Michael Friday, chief of NEG pages, back on the job. Farley fell from a ladder recently and was severely injured but he came back to work long before it was expected he
 could.
 Amos n Andy, famous NEG black-face comedians, have written and broadcast 2200 episides since their air debut six years ago. Beaded dresses or jingling jew

CONTROLLER is SUED
TO SIGN VOUCHERS
Mandamus Asked to Force Certif.
cation of Bills for Desks
and Chairs.

Controller General McCarl was named
defendant yesterday in a suit for a
mandamus filed in District Supreme
Court by the w. D. Campbell Co. The
court was asked to compel McCarl to
certify and approve for payment a
number of vouchers of the company,
which have been submitted to the Gem
eral Accounting Office by disbursing
officers of several Government depart
ments.
Through Attorneys Hogan, Donovan,
Jones, Harrison & Guider and Arthur
j. Phelan, the court was told that on
June 10. 1881, the Treasury Depart
ment entered into a contract with the
Campbell Co. to furnish desks and
chairs to all Government departments
during the fiscal year 1882. The
Campbell bid was accepted, although
lower bid had been submitted, and
McCarl ruled the Campbell contract
was illegal.
The low bidder brought suit for an
injunction against Secretary Mellon
and the Campbell Co. to enjoin the
carrying out of the contract. This was
dismissed and an appeal is now pend
ing. Later. when the diSbursing officer
of the Treasury had declined to make
payment following McCarl's ruling, the
Campbell Co. secured a mandamuS
against him and the court held the
contract valid.
McCarl continues to disapprove vouch-
ers presented by disburSing officers OF
other departments, the court was told.
