Hushl Soy TO more

"All right, III come with you" of :
fered Mr.. Longears. II can find a
new way of twinkling my pink nose
some other time.
So Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bun
ty hoped out to the little yellow
house in the backyard of the hollow
stump bungalow. Out of one Of the
pumpkins gathered to make jack
o'-lanterns for Halloween Mr.. Long
ears had made a cute house, as ]
told you in the story last night. The
pumpkin house had back door and
a front door and windows and even
a chimney made of hollow wooden
block from Baby Bunty'S playtoys
But there was no one living in the
yellow pumpkin house. Baby Bunty
wanted to buy a tiny doll for it
but she had no money.
So everyone thought there was nc
one in the play house until Bunty
coming home from school, heard
voices.
What did they say?" asked Uncle
Wiggily as he hoped with Bunty
toward the pumpkin.
"One voice said reported the lit
tie orphan rabbit. how nice it was
in the pumpkin house and the other
voice said: Yes, it's fin house foI
us"
Then they must have moved in
TO stay, whoever they are decided
Mr.. Longears.
Moved in?' exclaimed Bunty
But there isn't any furniture OF
anything else in your yellow pump
kin house, Unkie Wig~
That true agreed the rabbit
gentleman. but perhaps whoever
moved in brought their furniture
with them. We shall socn see, how.

Hunters Warned
By Local Judge

Some don'ts for hunters and
prospective hunters, suggested by
Judge Mayfield, of the local justice
court, are given as follows:
Don't shoot at any game bird or
mammal, except whale, from power
beat, sailboat, or airplane.
Don't shoot a firearm upon any
highway or public road.
Don't start hunting without first
securing a hunters license.
The reason for the foregoing ad-
monition is that the legislature has
passed the law and has said that
anyone violating it must be fined a
sum of not less than $25 nor more
than $500, o. imprisoned in the
county Jail not less than rs days
nor more than $50 days, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment.
Even $25 is pretty expensive
shooting and the state game war
den is now in this county enforcing
this law, the judge said.

UNCLE WIGGHY AND THE
TWO BUGS

When Baby Bunty hoped so fast
into Uncle Wiggilys hollow stump
bungalow, calling that some one was
in the little yellow house, the rab-
bit gentleman was so surprised he
didn't know what to say.
"What-what's that, Bunty?" he
asked. Uncle Wiggily was standing

CHAMBERS OF =

MEET FRIDAY.

Much interest is being shown in
the meeting of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of Impe-

| The two rabbits were now stand
! ing in front of the little yellow
house Mr.. Longears had made just
for fun. And as they stood there
both Uncle Wiggily and Bunty
heard one voice ask:
How do you like it here?"
The other voice said: "Oh, think
it's grand! Such lots of room. I hope
we can stay here all Winter"
did you hear that?" whispered
Baby Bunty. They're going to stay
all Winter, Unkie Wig!"
Yes, I heard" answered the rab-
bit gentleman. But they are going
to find it very cold in my pumpkin
house when it SHOWS. There is no
glass in the windows and the doors
are wide OPEN"

in the pumpkin house?" said Bunty
Just then a cute little June Bug
poked its head out of one window
and seeing the two rabbits greeted
them with jolly hello.
"Hello!" answered Uncle Wiggily
"HellO!" called another voice, and
from the window on the other side
of the door peeped out Lightning
Bug.
How do you like Unkie Wigs yell
low house?" Baby Bunty wanted to
know And the June Bug said:
"Oh, is this your house, Mr.. Long
ears? We. thought nobody lived
here, and the Lightning Bug and
thought we had found a god place
to stay all Winter. But if this is
your house"
Hush! Say no more!" cried Mr.
Longears. You two bugs may stay
in my pumpkin house as long as
you like. But how did you happen tc
come here and find my pumpkin?'
why, you see," buzzed the juno
Bug, now that Summer has gene
we have nothing to do. I can't fiji,
around and the Lightning Bug is
not needed to shine. So we decided
to travel away to gather and look
for Winter home. May we stay
here?"
Yes" said Mr.. Longears, "you
may" Then he and Bunty put some
waxed paper over the cut-out win

and happy homes. Construction of the

more important is the need of every citi-
zen cooperating to make their benefits
felt by every resident of the valley.

WE START 4 NEW JOB

Imperial Valley hasn't quite recovered
its breath yet, and in all probability will
not do so for several more days. A well
come jolt such as it received yesterday
calls for letting off steam, and the val
ley hopes to do plenty of it tonight at
the big celebration in Holtville.
1t is difficult to realize that only 4S
hours ago we were still in a state of anXi-
ETY.. wondering what would happen or if
anything ever would happen, to get ac-
tion on the canal project, and that today
the picture is changed to certainty that
the canal will be built
Some, of course, will be disappointed
that men are not heaving dirt today. and
others will be expecting the canal to be
finished by Christmas. 1t will require
some time to get the machinery into
actual operation. The fact that 1t is
really going to operate however, should
suffice for the present.
The long battle which has split Impe-
rial Valley for the greater part of two
decades is over and it is to be hoped that
harmony, that very elusive element in
valley affairs, will at last make its ap-
pearance here. Perhaps that is too much
to hope We have battled and squabbed
so long that it seems to have gotten into
our blood, making it difficult to be peace
full and calm. We will be running true to
form if we develop some new cause to
make men differ.
Maybe we are wrong, and we certainly
hope that we are. The outlook is so en-
couraging that perhaps all others can
see it as plainly as we can and will be
inspired to work together instead of at
cross purposes.
The potential possibilities in the val
ley have always been apparent to all but
the most blind For three decades we
have proclaimed to the world that, given
a chance, we could make this the most
productive valley and the best home
community in the country. Completion
of Boulder dam and the All-American
canal, we stated, was all that we needed.
Now we are assured of both prof ects,
and it is up to us to make good on our
claims
Even if we cannot visualize the pic
ture when dam and canal are completed,
we ought to be able to appreciate the i'm
mediate good effects of yesterdays news.
Construction of the canal means a job
for every man in Imperial Valley who
needs one Steps are now being taken
SO that they may avail themselves of the
opportunity. Work will not be given to
outsiders, at least not until valley needs
have been met.
The Press, right from the start, has
declared over and again, its faith that
Boulder dam and the All-American canal
would come. They were projects too big
to fail. The southwest needed them Just
as it needs air, water, or sunshine, and
destiny decreed that they should come.
This faith has come true.
The biggest battle has been won, but

OLD FALL1CY EXPOSED

Robbery of the post office at Brawley
Monday night calls attention to the dan
ger of believing the old fallacy that big
time" bandits will not attempt to oper-
ate in Imperial Valley because of the
danger of making getaway.
Many have believed that because OF
having only three practical routes out of
the valley, each of which could be easily
turned into trap by officers, despera-
does would consider their chances of sue
cess too slim to take.
The Brawley crime shows that this is
not So With speedy cars difficult to dis
tinguish from thousands of other ma
chimes containing law-abiding citizens,
escape is made easy for criminals and
their detection is made dOubly hard for
police officers.
The modern criminal uses all modern
accessories to carry out his illegal exist
ence. He trains himself to act swiftly and
accurately, once his particular lob has
been planned The very fact that he
knows when he is to strike and where,
gives him the advantage over the law.
1t gives him that margin of time essen
tial to making a successful escape
We have no suggestions to make to
curb the activity of criminals, except that
the businessman or citizen who feels
himself secure because of our compara-
tive isolation, is making mistake That
was true in horse and buggy days, but it
isn't true any more.
