Somewhat later reporter asked

frowned. leaned forward, looked
cut of a window and remarked.
Mice day, isn't it? Oh, no, it
isn't so nice-it's still raining"
"But Mr.. Morganthau," said the

Morgenthau grinned, looked en-
barrassed and answered the ques-
ton.
The house banking and curren-
cy committee, like its foreign af-
fairs committee, remains inactive
over long periods of years. Some
times, as in the last session, it re-
mains inactive when everyone is
demanding that it act.
Just now it has become probably
the most important committee In
congress and the center of legis-
lative attention. The situation is
embarrassing for some of the older
members who don't know its loca-

FLAX CROP To
Be DISCUSSED

Flax is to be the subject of a talk
to be given by w. w. Weeth, mana
ger of the state experiment farm at
Meloland, before members and
friends of the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce at the luncheon meet
ing on Wednesday, March %. Weeth
has been asked to talk on this sub
ject because of the number of calls
which have been received at cham
ber headquarters concerning I'M
perial Valley flax, which is said to
be of unusually good quality and
exceptionally high yield.
Weeth has for number of years
been experimenting with flax and
his work has met with results which
have proven very satisfactory. In
his talk at the chamber luncheon
he will not only tell of the work
with flax at the experiment station
and methods which have been tried,
but will go into the uses of flax
seed and touch on the markets
which would be open to Imperial
Valley flax If it is deemed that
flax growing presents enough op-
portunities for prifit to- make it
one of the important industries of
the valley.
w. A. Tondro, president of the
FL Centre Chamber, urges all per-
sons interesting in agriculture to
be present at this meeting Persons
from rural areas will be particular
ly welcome and will get much use
full information from Weeth's talk.
Luncheon will be served at noon at
the Hotel Barbara Worth.

II wonder what Daddicums is 60

was twin sister to Tingle.
Lets hop along after him and
see," said Baby Bunty. SO the little
girl rabbits did this while the boy
rabbits hopped along to school
looking for mud puddles on the
way to jump over.
The girl bunnies were also go
ing to recite their lessons to the
Lady Mouse Teacher in the hollow
Stump School, but first they would
follow Uncle Wiggily to see if they
could find out for what he was
looking. And there was no harm in
this.
Uncle Wiggily hoped along over
the fields and through the woods,
UP hill and down hill, and all the
while the little rabbit girls trailing
after him saw him looking from
side to side.
II wonder what he can be look
ing for?' said Tangle again.
Its just as if something were
lost" said Tingle.
"Oh, do you s'pose any of us
could be lost and Unkie Wig has
gone out to look for us?" asked
Baby Bunty.
Pooh! Don't be silly like the
Bob Cats tall" laughed Tungle,
who was a sister to 1Ingle and
Tangle, though not twin. IF any
Of us were lost, wouldn't we know
it?"

"Oh, don't talk that wayl"

said, land let Daddicums do his

she exclaimed, as the echo of a

Away scampered the bunny
girls to where the Lady Mouse

school and Uncle Wiggily hoped
on alone.
II ought to find her soon," said
the rabbit gentleman out loud.
For whom are you looking?"
asked voice in the grass, and look
ing down, Uncle Wiggily saw a red
spotted Squiggle Bug.
"Oh, hello, Squiggler!" exclaim-
ed the rabbit gentleman, very glad
to see his little friend again. I'm
SO happy to meet YOU"

"Its Winter, now, if you ask

one leg he pointed to small drift
down in hollow of the field
where the sun could not reach it.
Yes, I know we had snow, for
last week made some maple sugar
wax on it." said Uncle Wiggily.
But this is March 20. Tomorrow
or March 81, is supposed to be
when Spring comes. 1 think she
must be on her way, so I came out

"Oh, you call Spring a lady, do

Mr.. Longears. Tell me, have you

mo, I haven't" was the buzzing
answer. But I'll come along and
help you look for her Hark! I hear
a noise. Maybe this is Spring COM

What kind of out?" asked Nurse
Jane with twiddle of her whis-
kers.
"Oh, just plain OUT spoke Uncle
Wiggily with a laugh.
Hes going adventuring, I know
he is" whispered the muskrat lady
to Mrs. Longears as she stopped
down and pretended to pick piece
of paper off the hall rug.
II think So" whispered back the
lady rabbit. But he'll tell us all
about it when he comes home, so
we won't tease him now"
AS Uncle Wiggily hoped away

seemed very happy.

AGAINST THE RECALL

DUMORS of recalls against numerous
A valley officials, which have been rife
throughout the community for several
weeks past, eliminating in the theft of
recall petitions against Director Burleigh
Adams from the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict office last week, have focused the
attention of citizens on this particular
phase of political activity.
Considered in general terms, The Press
is opposed to the recall. 1t has never
given its support to any recall move
ment and does not intend to do So
theoretically a safeguard for the peo-
pie against inefficient or corrupt Off
cials, the recall is in reality, a danger
Gus weapon to be used by disgruntled
politicians, frequently for their own self
ish ends rather than for the common
good
Unless an official is downright cor
rupt, or is mentally or physically inca
pacitated, so as to be incapable of per-
forming the duties of his office, the re-
call is undesirable Even where such
conditions exist removal from office can
generally be obtained without resorting
to the recall.
ANY public official, in the ordinary
duties of his office, is bound to take ac-
tion which finds disfavor among cer-
tain elements The recall permits these
dissatisfied ones to institute a recall cleo
ton for the officials removal from
office. They have merely to circulate
petition for recall election, obtaining
the signatures of certain percentage of
the voters in order to force an election
upon the community.
How easy it is to get signatures to
such a petition, or TO any other petition
for that matter, was proved recently
when over 800 citizens in Omaha, Neb.,
signed a petition to nominate Zangara.
assassin of Mayor Cermak of Chicago,
for the office of mayor of Omaha. The
average citizen will sign almost any
thing when it is presented to him by an
acquaintance who may or may not be
telling the truth regarding the purpose
of the petition.
The recall is frequently perpetual
menace to the efficiency and independ-
ence of honest and upright officials.
They are threatened with its use against
them if they do not act as some may wish
them to act, on public questions.
In wider sphere, it is a continual
thorn in the side of community peace
and harmony. Imperial Valley has suf-
fered considerably in recent years from
it. True the number of times in which
it has been used have been few, but the
number of threats and abortive attempts
to use it have been frequent. This has
added much to the strife and turmoil of
a community noted for taking its poll
ces seriously and willing to fight at any
time over political differences.
The Press believes the great majority
of office holders in this county are hon.
est and efficient men, doing their best
to live up to the oaths of their office
Until an official is definitely proved not
to be such it will not support any move
ment to employ the recall against him.

PEACE STRENGTHENED

ALTHOUGH numerous angles still re-
"A main to be ironed out before peace in
Europe rests upon a firm foundation.
the proposal made by Mussoini on Sat-
urday that Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Italy act in concert to prevent
war, augurs we'll for the future.
The momentouS meeting between the
Italian premier and Ramsay MacDon-
aid, prime minister of England, marks
the first step in a plan of action that
holds promise of success.
Its greatest strength is the recognition
OF Germany as power to be considered
In any plan which is to result in a per-
manent peace. Few will dispute the fact
that revenge was uppermost at Versailles
In 1919, instead of consideration of the
future. The conditions forced upon Ger
many at that time were more in COM
mon with the past than the future and
could not help but keep Europe in tur-
moil.
1t will take considerable adjustment
to bring France, Italy and Germany to
the point where they can trust each
other. England, with her acknowledged
willingness to lead the way, must be the
coordinator between the other three ma
tions.
Banded together to keep the peace in
Europe, they will eventually be able to
smooth out the differences among the
smaller nations, providing a bulwark
against Russia, which ultimately must
find herself with other nations arrayed
against her.
Peace, such as Macdonald and Musso-
lini had in mind Saturday, will not be
achieved overnight. But a willingness to
seek it is the best guarantee that it will
come.

turn about in the European outlook
