fast when she sees US coming that it
would take an electrically propelled
paddle to get in even one spank. She
waggles 1t under the impression that
she's waggling her tail-like some
cars could name, when the starters
stepped on, the whole body vibrates.
But how did get to talking about
the pup, anyway? She has nothing
to do with the unemployed-she's
anything but! AS far as that goes,
how did I get to talking about the
unemployed? l think I was inspired
by the funny little pasteboard tramp
my friend, DR.. Nellie P. j., gave me In
honor of Leap Year. He's perched up
here on my desk, and everything
stop to think he grins at me. He has
pair of little white wings sprouting
out of his shoulders, right through
his ragged old coatl
You know those wings aren't so in
congruous, at that! Anyone who's I'M
employed for awhile is likely to sprout
unexpected wings-uniess he's starved
into sprouting horns and a tail!
But what I mean is, that dash of
unemployment is good thing for
some people. Sometimes unemploy-
ment yanks fellows head up off his
boss's ledger, and he finds there's
something else in the world besides
totalling up another mans profits.
Sometimes when he has leisure to
think, he discovers he can write a
book, or invent gadget, or manage a
business of his own. And if that isn't
sprouting wings, what is?
Yep, sometimes fellow has to be
backed up against stone wall to dis
cover what's under his shoulder blades.
A little friction may develop pinions
that will carry him off to other fields.
Of course I don't advocate unem-
ployment- know lot of people
are suffering from it, but if it's
showed on fellow, and he can't help
it, it's a good thing for him to use
some of his enforced leisure to rub his
shoulders and see if he can't find q
wing or two to develop.
Golly! Ny shoulders are beginning
to itch! must dash about and see
if can't find a sharp corner to rub
them against might sprout few
scraggly little feathers myself!

A PROFITABLE CLEANUP.

Washington State College, Pullman.
In these days when farmers are
striving so hard to improve their eco
nomic position, appearance of farms
in respect to exposed and abandoned
equipment takes on new signific-
ance," declares C. G. johnson, assist
ant professor of agricultural engineer
ing at the State College.
Farmers should make a special
effort to get rid of the old WORKOUT
machines which are standing about
the farms. These machines not only
detract from the appearance of the
farms, but also cause many passers-by
to conclude all too hastily that the
farmer is careless in running his bust
ness.
"Old machines not only are I'M
slightly and create bad impression
when they are scattered about the
farmstead, but they also take up valu-
able space. Weeds tend to grow where
machines are allowed to stand, and
hiding places are provided for farm
pests. The machines also become
hazards to children and livestock.
"a splendid way for farmers to
Junk the junk is to get the boys in
terested in the Job, Just as Boy
Scouts and youngsters in the schools
and other groups have been Interested
in periodical cleanup campaigns. If
farmer has a young son, he can
delegate the work of breaking up the
machines to the Youngsters, and as
an incentive can promise him part or
all of the money he obtains for the
metal as junk.
"In knocking down the old ma
chimes, there will be some parts that
farmers will want to keep for repairs
or other purposes. Belts, nuts, wash
ers, cotter pins, and springs, if saved,
should be sorted and put into boxes
or bins. singletrees, doubletrees,
,, neckyokes, clevises, rings, and similar
parts should be hung on nails where
they may be easily found when need
ed. Braces, wheels and tongues may
also be in good condition and worth
keeping. Many farmers will also
want to save disks from harrows or
disk drills to use as anchors for end
or corner posts"

so I did.
Just to show them I was q good

I cogitated considerably during the
process, of eating, not busting. on why
the unemployed should go hungry
while we gobbled up all the waffles
but I couldn't figure 1t out.
Maybe it's because the waffles don't
contain enough of the elixir OF life
to put pep into an unemployeder,
Maybe It's because they need some
thing that will stick to their ribs bet
something that's really necessary
to the maintenance Of the constitution

Moth Balls Aid Plants.

Now that garden time is just around
the corner you will be interested in
this discovery by scientists of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Drs. Free
man Weiss and E. L. Evinger, govern
ment pathologists, have found that
ordinary moth balls (naphthalene)
will check the growth of fungi that
kill many plants. The fumes given
off by the balls kill the parasites but
do not injure the plants. Up to 500
pounds to the acre may be used with
out injury.

Three Suspected
Burglars Taken

Vigilance had its reward last
night for Charles Rosenquest, Ell
Centro officer, when he arrested
Manuel Vaga, 10, Rafino Veloz, 26,
and Adolfo Favian, "a, for investi-
cation of attempted burglary.
RoSenquest had received COM
plants that Maggie Brothers shed
on East Main street had been burg
larized several times lately, and set
himself to watch the building from
point across the field at the rear
He had waited some time when he
saw the three men approach the
building While one waited, appar-
emily as a lookout, the other two
went to the rear of the building,
where hole had been made under
the caves. Rosenquest waited until
the two returned to their lookout
Their activities had been screened
from his view by four box cars.
Thinking the men already had
entered the building and were pre-
pairing TO leave, the officer crossed
the field and placed them under
arrest. He found nothing which
indicated they had yet entered the
place, but declared 'ay there was
evidence they were preparing to
do so.
Judge Lee Nuffer this morning
dealt summarily with the three
suspects, warning them to leave Ell
Centro Immediately, unless they
wished to be held under a burglary
charge.

One of these invC:ved arranging for

for the huge hall.
Built primarily for sports, the
great hall has no permanent plat

being constructed and with the dec

contract protecting them against
being required TO pay for the alter

Sheriff's Deputy
Becomes Cowboy

+. Vidaurrazaga, who lives a
quarter of a mile south of the in
tersection of the Brawley Main ca
nal and the Tamarack road, feared
nightly that his milk COW had been
kidnapped yesterday afternoon, and
came to the sheriff's office with
his complaint.
Officers listened to the story OF
the disappearance, and Don Camp
bell was assigned to trace down
either the culprit or the COW. The
officer buckled on his weapons and
went to the scene at which Bossy
last had been noted.
There the hunt ended, for the
COW had returned, and was feed
ing placidly in the pasture. Camp
bell returned to the sheriffs office
to report the bovine merely had
been enjoying a night out.
