UNCLE WIGGILY AND
SANIMIE'S SHOES

The telephone in Uncle Wiggilys S
hollow stump bungalow rang ting
a-ling- ling. The rabbit gentle
man was getting up out of his
easy chair to answer when Nurse
Jane said:
I'll do it, Mr.. Longears. 1t may
be some of the Bad Chaps TRYING
to find out if you are home"
Don't tell theml" begged the
bunny gentleman.
Indeed, I shall not" squeaked
the muskrat lady housekeeper.
But when she had listened a
few moments to what was being
said, Nurse Jane laughed ana
called:
Here, Uncle Wiggily. This is no
Bad Chap. It's a friend of yours,
Mrs. Littletail." ~.
"Oh, the rabbit lady" exclaimed
Mr. Longears as he went to the
telephone. Then he called: Hello,
Mrs. Littletail, what may I have
the pleasure of doing for you this
fine day?"
Nurse Jane could see Uncle Wig
gily listening and at last he said:
I'll be right over"

Jane wanted to know as Mr.. Long

! Uncle Wiggily answered. And
now, Sammie, I'll hop with you as
far as the Hollow Stump School
and then I'll go along and have an
adventure" For Mr.. Longears had
taken Sammie to get his shoes
nefore school and it was now nearly
time for the Lady Mouse Teacher
to hear the animal children's
lessons.
/ All of a sudden, as .Sammie and
| Uncle Wiggily were hopping
through the woods, they heard a
noise in the bushes.
whats that?' asked sammie,
i in j loud whisper.
THE wind, I think" said Mr..
LongearS.
1T didn't sound like the wind, "
spoke the rabbit boy. Maybe It's
one of the Bad Chaps, Uncle
Wiggily."
"Oh, no, hardly think So" an
swered the rabbit gentleman. But
when Sammie looked back he saw,
sticking his head out of the bushes,
the Cross Bear.
"Oh, it is Bad Chap!' shouted
Sammie. And I'm not going to
let him have my new shoes" For
he was wearing the new ones, the
old ones having been left in the
store to be taken home after
school.
Lets run!" cried Uncle Wiggily
So he began to hop very fast, as
Sammie did, also, running along in
his new, big shoes. The two rab-
bits ran so fast that they got away
from the Cross Bear, who was
tangled in the bushes so he
couldn't get start until too late.
Uncle Wiggily and Sammie kept
on running, however, until they
we're so far away that they knew
the Bear couldn't get them.
Nov we are SAFE" said Uncle
Wiggily with laugh. But as he
looked at Sammie he asked: why,
where are your new shoes?'
Sammie looked at his feet. The
new shoes were gonel Oh! Oh!
TOO bad!" said Mr.. Longears.
"They must have dropped off your
feet when we we're running away
from the Bear. You stay here,
Sammie, and I'll go back and get
your new shoes" And what hap
pened after that you shall hear
tomorrow night.

THE EASTERN WAR PERIL

ok months ago anyone who suggested
~ that there was any serious danger of
the United States getting into war in
the Far East would have been looked
upon quite properly, as a scatter-brained
alarmist. Today he would simply be con-
sidered thoughtful student of inter-
national affairs.
Thus far have the international eff
fects of Japan's adventure in Manchur-
la rogressed-proving, once more, that
things happening in outlandishly named
places beyond the seas can touch our
lives more directly than we usually ina
gine.
Of course, no one in this country
wants war-none, that is, except pos
sbly a handful of empty-headed jingoes
Probably there never was a time when
the sentiment of the nation was more
thoroughly inclined toward keeping the
peace. And it seems quite certain that
the nation can avoid a war if it wants
to.
But it is imperative for us to recog-
niZe, right now, that the situation is SER
iouS. If we make ourselves look at the
fact that war is possible, we can unite
to make it impossible. If we drift along
in fancied security, telling ourselves that
the turmoil in the Orient can't really
mean anything especial to us, we might
find ourselves in the rapids before we
knew
Once the chance of war turns from a
remote possibility to an immediate prob
ability, it is too late to do anything
about it. The man who tries to speak
for peace can't get hearing. The time
to work for peace is now, when the dan
ger is only a small cloud on the hori-
zOn-remote, hardly noticeable, but def
initely ominous.
Meanwhile, we need to recognize the
fact that the government at Washing
ton is faced with an extremely tough
problem. President Hoover knows, as
we'll as any man alive, what frightful
thing war is. He can be depended on
to chart course to lead the nation away
from it. In doing so, he deserves the
whole-hearted support of all citizens.

RETRIEVING OUR ERRORS

ALTHOUGH you may never have known
n it, there is a painter named Chuzo
1amotzu, young japanese. and he is
aoout to make an exceedingly interesting
and unusual trip around the world
During the last dozen years, he says,
he has painted a great many pictures
Some of these he has sold; Others, at one
time or another, he has exchanged for
food and lodging. And now that he has
gained recognition as a genuinely fine
artist, it plaques him to think how poor
some of those paintings were.
SO he is going to go about the world,
looking up the owners of those earlier
pictures and buying the pictures back
agaln-giving, in exchange for them, new
and better pictures; because, he says.
the old ones weren't much good, and he
hates to think that he is responsible
for the presence, in so many quarters of
the globe, of so much mediocre art.
Now you could moralize in any one of
several directions on this odd little tale.
You could talk about the artists con-
science, about the japanese conception
of personal honor, and so on; but the
thing most of US will think of first is,
How lucky that painter isl
For all of US have our mistakes scat
tered here and there about the world;
jobs we have blotched efforts that were
second-rate flat failures that we had to
try to pass off as good stuff. But they
don't stay put, as paintings do, and we
can't go around, years later, and collect
them, substituting first-rate jobs in their
place.
So this painter most emphatically has
the bulge on US. Turn a bad painting
loose into the world and you can event
ually take it back and hide it in your
garret. But bit of stupidity, bit of
malice, a bit of dishonesty - you can
never make up for it.
Instead of staying put, as a painting
does, these mistakes keep on working.
They grow, and give birth to all kinds
of unexpected consequences. And if,
like this painter, we later grow con-
science-stricken-all we con do is worry
about it. Our bad jobs can't be undone.

LARGE PLANTING
OF PECAN TREES
ON VALLEY FARM

Primarily due to the efforts OF
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce in publicizing pecans and
their adaptability to Imperial VAL
ley growing conditions, large
planting is being made on the Beck
ranch on the San Diego highway,
one-half mile east of Dixieland.
The ranch consists of 800 acres,
with half-mile frontage on the
highway, and the entire ranch is
to be planted to pecans, under the
management of H. Hall. The ranch
has been worked to a high state
of preparation for this crop, ac-
cording to Hall.
Believing that pecans are to be
one of the major permanent crops
of Imperial Valley, the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce has taken
much interest in increased plant
ings of pecan trees in this COM
munity, and through articles on
the subject sent out by that or
ganization, inquiries concerning
pecan growing in the valley are
coming into the chamber office
daily, according to Robert Hays,
manager.
Residents of Dixieland have de-
veloped much interest in pecans
and Walter F. Sibley, date grower
from that community, is response
BILE for the statement that the soil
in that section is suited to Sue
cessful pecan production and that
the paintings now being made will
stimulate agricultural interest in
Dixieland and the surrounding
area

MORE TRAVEL ON
VALLEY ROUTES
WILL BE URGED

In the interest of increased
tourist travel over the most
southerly roads in California and
Arizona, members of the newly
formed Borderland Trail associa-
ton left the valley last week with
members of the Imperial county
board of trade to attend the an
nual meeting of the Border Sun
shine Way association.
During this meeting, which is
being attended by representatives
from all the cities in the south"
west on the southern route, plans
were TO be devised for further
publicizing and popularizing of this
southern route and for increasing
tourist travel over this route.
It is particularly important that
the routing of tourists through
Imperial Valley be taken up at this
time as the coming summer
promises to be the greatest tourist
summer in the history of the state.

WASHINGTON, April 18. U.P)-
Hemisphere disarmament" is the
newest gem of the diplomatic
phrase-makers.
Minerva like, it sprang full
grown last week into the councils
of Geneva and promptly applied
for a place beside such hoary vet
erans Of the diplomatic lexicon as
"global tonnage "budgetary lin
itation," "aide memoire" and mo
dus vivendi."
1t arrived here Saturday in a
cablegram from Geneva and was
used to describe a certain kind of
disarmament which Secretary of
State Stimson, now in Europe, is
supposed to have discussed with
Premier Tardieu Of France.
Acting Secretary Castle over at
the state department gave the am
bilious young phrase one long, cold
glance and said he didn't reconize
it. He left the impression that
perhaps it was some un-American
foundling that Stimson had picked
up over in Europe.
A mad search for the phrases
meaning, age, nationality and
standing was begun throughout the
state department The geographic
section knew what hemisphere
meant but could find "disarma-
ment" on none Of its charts.
The disarmament section knew
all about the second word of the
phrase but couldn't see its relation
TO the first.

EvAD1NG THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW

BY devious ways and subterfuge, oft times TIE
law is evaded and volated-at times ignoran1y
and unintentionally and at other times deliber
ately AMI with malice aforethought. We mako
specific mention of the recent conference of the
First Division Campaign Club and the Terri
torial Democratic Convention The "First Division
Campaign Club is composed of, men more or less
branded as Republicans The purpose of changing
from First Division Republican Club to First
Division Campaign Club is not yet apparent to
the average voter but it is the less clear to
students of territorial politics.
The Territorial Democratic Convention and
the First Division Campaign Club endorsed sew
cral candidates Thereby giving them either
distinct lead over other candidates or a severe
handicap-which ever way you may wish to look
at it. The purpose of the conventions under the
present primary law is to adopt political plat
forms and to build up a complete and harmonious
political machine-NOT to endorse candidates.
The primary law written upon the statue books
of Alaska intended that the voters shall choose
candidates of their own without having them
thrust upon them by any gang of political rack
eteers or organization Else it would have provided
the manner in which political conventions would
endorse the several candidates. The speech of
Senator Dimond at the Democratic Territorial
convention recognized this fact for he declared:
1T must be remembered, too, that the cor
vention, although recognized by law for
purposed such the adoption of platform, is
extra legal with respect to the nomination of
candidates for office. This convention canrot
nominate candidates in any true sense of the
term" And then, to cover the illegal action of the
