comes along, as she is sure to do,
sooner or later, it will be all ready
/ for me to keep her in it very we'll"
Fine and dandy" said Uncle
Wiggily. So he took out his knife
and Pete took out his knife and
while the Fox was coming nearer
and nearer, shifting and snuffing,
the bunny and Pete cut the top off
a big pumpkin as large as a little
house. Uncle Wiggily lifted the top
off the pumpkin by the stem han
die and it did not take the bunny
and his friend long to scoop out
the seeds and some of the soft in
side, just as if they were starting
| to make a Jack o'Lantern.
We'll have to hurry!" whisper
ed Uncle Wiggily. THE Fox is COM
| ing nearer and nearer and he's
shifting and snuffing!'
Now the pumpkin is ready"
said Pete. Hop in and hide!"
This Uncle Wiggily did after first
cutting a little hole where he could
look out and also through which he
could get air to breathe. And Just
as Pete and the bunny were in
side the pumpkin and Pete had
reached out and pulled the top CO.
yer back on, along came the Fox.
Fooled again!" growled the Bad
| Chap, as he looked around and gave
his red tongue a sleighride over his
white. teeth, like snow. g was sure
I smelled Uncle Wiggily here but
all I can see is pumpkin. Well,
I'll get him next time!"
| So the Fox skunk away, taking
with him his big fuzzy tail that look
ed like a busting brush. Pete and
Uncle Wiggily jumped out of the
pumpkin and then along came
Pete's jolly little wife dressed in
blue silk.
Now don't say I had a wife and
couldn't keep herl" called Pete to
the rabbit gentleman. For here I
have a pumpkin shell and I'm 60
ing to keep her very we'll" Then his
wife popped into the hollow pump
kin house with Pete. And there
they lived happily ever after, for
all I know.
But Uncle Wiggily had not for
!: gotten that he came out to get a
pumpkin for Thanksgiving pie.
So after this adventure, he took a
pumpkin and started for his bun
galoW. On the way he saw some
cranberries growing on bush, SO
he picked some for Thanksgiving
cranberry sauce. With the berries in
his pocket, the bunny was hopping
along when the Bob Cat chased
him. But he threw hard red ber-
ries at the Bad Chap, hitting him
on the nose and making him run
away.
So if the can opener will pick
some leaves off the hat tree to make
coat of tan, for the condensed
milk, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily washing dishes.

.Iip Pumpkin Pete:

deed Pete was a smooth little man
wearing a suit of red silk. But why
did you ask if my wife was fuzzy?"
Pete wanted to know.
Because I see something fuzzy
like a busting brush coming this
way" said Mr.. Longears.
Better take another look" said
Pete. 1T can't be my wife"
So Uncle Wiggily looked again
and then he jumped up and down
behind the milkweed and said:
"You are right! 1t isn't your wife,
Pete. It's the Fox and the fuzzy
thing like dusting brush that I
saw is his tail. The Fox is coming
Oh, Oh! OH"
well, what of it?" asked Pete.
I'm not afraid of a Fox"
"But I ami said Mr.. Longears.
"As long as I can remember that
Fox has been after me. He has never
caught me yet but there must al
ways be first time and perhaps
this is it. Oh, what shall I do?"
"Ill save you from the Fox" said
Pete. Have you knife?"
"Yes," replied Uncle Wiggily,
while the Fox crept nearer and
nearer, shifting and snuffing.
What shall I do with my knife,
Pete?"
you take your knife and I'll take
my knife" said the little man dress
ed in red silk. We'll scoop out one
of these big pumpkins and you and

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90. The
Navajo Indians have too many
goats. And too many sheep. They
eat all the grass. The earth be-
comes bare. Rains turn it into
gullies. The gullies swell into cam
yons. And so the PWA must spend
S1,000,000 to smooth out the can
yons, which were made by the gull
lies, which were made by the bare
earth, which was made by the hun
CRY goats and sheep.
That all seems like a waste of
goats and grass, to say nothing OF
the gullies, to Harry B. Hopkins,
intensely practical federal relief ad-
ministrator. He's going to buy
100000 extra sheep from the Nava-
jos and give them to other Indians
who have lots of grass, few sheep
and no gullies.
Representatives of the Soviet in

LET'S SUPPORT 1T

Announcement that the El Centro
Emergency Relief committee plans to
conduct local campaign for relief funds,
made in yesterdays Press, brings home
to all of Us the necessity of helping those
in this community who are certain to feel
the pinch of want this winter, unless they
are accorded some help.
There has been so much published
about relief in recent months that it is
but natural some should ask why such a
campaign is needed.
The answer is that most of the publi-
city which has appeared concerning re-
lief applies to work relief-providing
work for those who need it. Even when
such work is provided it does not, in ev-
cry instance. provide sufficient mainten-
ance for families. Again, the head of the
household may be physically unable to
work. Or there may be some other good
cause why local residents need assist
ance.
1t is to provide for such cases that the
Ell Centro Emergency Relief committee
conducts its campaign for funds.
The plan adopted is a sane and sensi-
BILE one-monthly contributions of one
dollar, for period Of six months, by
those who have steady work. Surely this
Is dShIilg very lllIlc. IL Was 1OuHd " W
a highly satisfactory method of raising
funds last year, although it did not re-
ceive the full support it merited.
This year it is hoped the committee
will receive better cooperation from en-
ployers and employees. The former are
asked to deduct the monthly contribution
from wages after the employees have
signed a card permitting them to do so.
IN turn the committee has pledged to
the public that this will be the only drive
for relief funds conducted in the city
this year. If the plan is given full sup
port there will be sufficient to take care
of the city's needs and the burden will
be distributed among those who can af-
ford to carry it instead of being center
ed on a few.
Pledge cards, stating willingness to
contribute to the fund, will be distributed
this week. They should be signed and
turned back to the committee without de-
lay so that funds may start coming in at
once Those with steady work have much
for which to be thankful. Signing
pledge card and living up to the pledge
is the best means they have of express
ing their thanks.
