practicing with his bow and arrows
until, all Of a sudden, having sent
a shot high up among the
branches, Mr.. Longears was sur
prised to hear a voice calling down
TO him like this
Il say What's the matter Why

he went on And you would make
a very good Indian, Mr.. Toothpick.
For you have such a lot of sharp
arrow quills in your fur that you
could shoot many Bears
IT'S a mistake to think that l
can shoot my quilts as you shoot
arrows said Mr. Toothpick with
a laugh. My quilts are, however
fastened so loosely in my skin that
if any of the Bad Chaps. as you
call them, so much as touch me.
my sharp points will come loose,
stick in them and hurt them SO
much that they will be glad to
run away
That's finc!" chucklcd Mr.
Longears. 4 wish I had loose
toothpicks in my fur. I'd play
many a trick on the Fox, the Wolf
and the Bob Cat
Rabbits can never grow quills
like Porcupines," said Mr.. Tooth
pick. so you had better keep
your bow and arrows with you.
And 1 think you are going to need
them soon" he said For here
comes the Bob Cat
Up ran the Bob Cat, hungry for
a rabbit. Uncle Wiggily hid be-
hind a tree and with trembling
paws fitted an arrow to his bow.
Then the Bob Cat saw Mr.. Tooth
pick and, thinking him a poor,
soft creature, easy to eat, ran up
to the Porcupine. But Mr.. Tooth
pick rolled himself into ball,
head between his paws and with
his sharp quilts sticking out. And
when the Bob Cat tried to bite
the Porcupine, Mr.. Toothpick
swung his short, heavy tail around
and hit the Bob Cat in the face.
Many of the loose spines, or
sharp quills on the Porcupine's
tail came loose and stuck in the
Bad Chap, hurting him so much
that he ran away bowling.
Thanks, Mr.. Toothpick,' SAID
the rabbit. You stuck him before
I had a chance to shoot him with
my arrows
yes" answered the Porcupine
Next time he will let me alone. y
Then Uncle Wiggily gave Mr.
Toothpick some salt, of which Por :
cupines are very fond, and the
bunny hoped home. And if the
lead pencil will take the shoe lace
out of the rubber boot to make a
cats cradle for the gold fish, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
and the jumping mouse.

Good Attendance
AT Border Talk

Rockwood Memorial building in
CaleXico was packed Thursday eve
ming with residents of that COM
munity who responded to an invi-
tation to an open meeting called
by the All-American Canal club.
The building, said to be the old
est in Imperial Valley and which
formerly was the site OF the old
district headquarters, was not
large enough to accommodate all
the persons who wished to attend.
Imperial Irrigation District Off
cials and directors spoke concern
ing the history of the Mexican con-
cessions, the physical need for the
canal and requirements of the La
guna dam contract. 1t was
brought out that during the early
years of valley development hay
was shipped in to feed stock used
in the work. This was followed by
a period Of years when all the val
ley hay production was used here
at development sites.

NO REDUCTION NEEDED

TALK of reducing the salary of the
President is enough to disgust any
fair-minded citizen regardless of his
party affiiatiOn. or what his personal
ideas may be regarding Mr.. Hoover.
There is no reason for doubling that
he earns every cent of the comparative
ly small salary the government pays
him.
Political friends and foes join in de
claring him the hardest worked Presl-
dent we have had, certainly since Will
sons time. and when one stops to con-
slider the executive Of almost any large
corporation gets more than Mr. Hoover
is paid. and without having to attend to
the mass of detail that he does, 1t leaves
little room for argument in favor OF re-
ducing his salary.
The government does not pay MI.
Babe" Ruth, but for something approx
imating two hours work day for brlet
period during the year. Mr.. Ruth draws
$4,000 a year. He may be worth 1t III
his particular line, and so IS Mr.. Hoover
in his.
There is room for reduction of sal
aries in certain branches of the govern
ment. but it Is not the executive branch
Some time since we saw a list of salar-
les in the veterans bureau, showing that
in addition TO drawing high salaries,
many of the executives of that depart
ment are also drawing large disability
pensions from the government. There
might be room for considerable saving
in this particular spot, for instance.
As to the Presidents private income,
as long as it is legitimate and does not
cast any reflection upon his high office,
that matter is pretty much his own bus
mess and the American people will con-
slider it such.
The American people, so generous IN
many ways, have always been mggardly
with their public servants.
Herbert Hoover could we'll stand
reduction in salary without being threat
ened by the poorhouse. The dignity of
the office OF the President of the United
States cannot Justify treating it with
CheaDneSS.

His gentlemanly dignity dealt a
terrible blow by an ignorant young

a hue and cry of concentrated wor-

Old Tom had been gone two

place, and was chasing stray bits
of paper in wild abandon when the

Old Tom was munching content

young newcomer, known only as
kitty, began a curious inspec-
ton. Apparently reaching the
conclusion Old Tom had no bus
mess there. and never having seen
the patriarch. the youngster
stalked up. raised a threatening
paw, and struck Tom alongside the
WhlSkerS
Only a panied expression answer
ed the blow, and Old Tom went on
eating. 1t was not long, however,
before he was missed. He has not

mess balance back TO nOrmalcy and Is
considered the first major counter stroke
against depression.
By means of this enormous appropria-

fear which has gripped industrial and
commercial circles for the past two
years, release millions of dollars which
have been boarded during that time and
stimulate activity SO as to reduce un-
employment and put new life blood into
every line of endeavor.
1t is an ambitious undertaking but if
the government itself does not show and

new corporation is certain to be Steered
