MEMPHIS, Tenn, october a.
Nearly 10000 workers are now employed
by the Government and private con-
tractors in fiood-control operations In
the Memphis engineer district, and the
pay roll is constantly increasing as new
work is begun. This is one Of the
major public works projects In the lower
Mississippi Valley, and Is doing much
to relieve unemployment.
It all results from the efforts of the
Government, following suspension Of
flood-control operations In July, which
caused much dissatisfaction in the
lower valley. Failure of Director Of the
Budget Douglas and Public Works

HELENA, Mont, October 14.-Eco-
nomical administration Of the Montana
beer regulation act-naturally an ex-
periment-is revealed in figures barred
recently by william Hoskins, State ac-
countant, who states that salaries and
supplies, added to general administra-
tive costs, have totaled only $7,150 since
legalization Of beer.
The State Board of Equalization, in
charge of administration of the act, has
collected about 100000. Only four
employees are hired in the department
Of administration.
However well satisfied the State may
be with its income from beer, the gen.
eral consuming public, Judging from the
press, Is not especially gratihed by
charges for the beverage through the
State. The prevailing price seems to
be 10 cents for 10 ounces. The con-
census Is that this price must come
down, If consumption Is to 60 back to
the normal Of pre-prohibition days.
Chain Stores Pay Tax.
The State chain store tax measure Is
gradually embracing Montana. John j.
Jewell, licensing clerk for the State
Board Of Equalization, which has charge
of enforcement Of the measure, reports
that about 81 900 stores have taken out
licenses and that the total Is expected
to reach $4,000. Appreciable revenue is
being rendered the State through the

BUY AT HOME

Prospective Christmas shoppers were
given an excellent opportunity last night
to be convinced that Ell Centre stores
offer them exceptional opportunity to do
their Christmas shopping to the best ad-
vantage right in their own town.
Stocks are exceptionally attractive this
year and prices compare favorably with
the general trend of costs elsewhere.
There are always some who feel that
they cannot do their Christmas shopping
in a small town" and must make their
selections from the stores in larger cit
les. If any such inspected local stores
last night, they must have learned that
they have been making a mistake by 60
ing outside of Ell Centre to do their
Christmas trading.
Merchants in Ell Centre have gone to
considerable expense to put in Christ
mas stocks They are depending upon
the people of this city to turn the stocks
into money and they have right to DO
so for the merchants who support COM
munity in turn deserve support by the
community.
It is short sighted policy to pass up
the local merchant in favor of the out
slider for Ell Centrans suffer by such
course. If the merchant cannot sell his
goods he cannot keep his employees and
if they cannot hold their jobs all who
depend upon them-the butcher, baker
and candlestick-maker- suffer.
"Buy at Home" is good all-year slo-
gan. It is particularly appropriate at
Christmas time and visit to any OF FL
Centres stores will prove it.

and take to selling silk hosiery.
Perhaps the garden boys are smart
in not fooling with the heavy
weights right now, and concentrat-
ing on hockey, horse shows, SYM
phony concerts and cat shows. These
latter items make money, at least.
Would the heavyweights do the
same? Only two heavyWeightS
would-Carnera and Baer. Throw
those two in the battle pit and mon
ey would be made for all concerned.
Dempsey, it was announced yes
terday, has signed bridegroom
Schmelling and Tommy Loughran
for bout in Atlantic City in jan
uary, and has a head full of
schemes for King Levinsky and a
host of Others. But will Jack make
any money? The best answer to
that one is that he had a natural
last summer in Baer and Schmel-
ing and yet, even with the help of
press as friendly as politician an
the eve of election day, wound up
making exactly nothing OF course,
there is the possibility that Jack
| and his associates are not interest
ed in money, but are just promot-
ing for the jolly fun it offers.
The main objection I have to the
garden IS position is, that, with
Dempsey controlling most of the
heavyweight contenders, it may be
forced to use Sharkey against Car
nera again. And, personally, I
could do without the Sharkey man
for a long, long time.

LINDBERGH DOES 1T AGAIN

The Lone Eagle" has done it again,
only this time he was not alone. Colonel
Lindbergh, with the valued assistance of
his wife, has flown the South Atlantic,
adding new laurels to the most brilliant
career in aeronautics.
The flight from Africa to South Amer
lea is fitting climax to five months OF
work charting a practical commercial
route across the Atlantic and gathering
data which will be of immense assistance
to future aviators.
While the Lindberghs have been cordi-
ally welcomed in numerous European
countries and have been lavishly enter
tanned, their travels have not been in the
nature of triumphal tour. On the con-
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1933-12-06

trary, they have been filled with plenty
of hard work.
Any who may hold the opinion that
Mrs. Lindbergh was along solely for at
mosphere or company, do the lady an in
Justice. Her work while less spectacu-
lar than that of her famous husband, has
been important to the success of their
survey. saal
This latest successful adventure only
emphasizes the glory of Lindbergh and
cannot help but bring a contrast with the
blot which his native country brought
into his life. So long as those RESPONSE
bic for that terrible deed go unpublished
just so long does the United States con-
tinue under a cloud.
We have every reason to be proud of
the Lindberghs not the least of which is
that they do not despise us as they would
be justified in doing.

Australia, Japan, France and de-

opposition, Prentice said, but the

NEW YORK, Dec. 6. I hold no
brief for Madison Square Garden
and haven't, as my colleagues well
know, since that day when James
Joy Johnston SO ruthlessly did
away with the press book.
1t was there, upon dull afternoons
that one could saunter in, fill one IS
pockets with a weeks supply OF
cigarettes, get nip of the tea and
bitters, and converse with the
charming mugs and thugs who are
the backbone of boX-fighting.
But no more. James Joy hung
paddock on the press room door
emptied the coffee urn out the
window, pocketed the smokes, and
I suppose, drank the tea and Bit
tiers. And the little room which
provided such a cozy salon where
the hautmonde, ne plus ultra and
nux vomica of pugdom used to chat
ter light frivolities anent socks on
the noggen and punches in the puss
was given to the concessionaires fol-
peanut storage.
So YOU see, have no love for the
garden, but I feel it my bounded
duty today to put in a lick against
the sportswriters who are giving
the garden hell for losing control
of the heavyweight situation. Sew
eral of my workers have ex-

turned around and said to the Fox

"Oh, yes I ami" said the bunny
With that he stuck the sharp

the Fox, turning it like a merry-go-
round and twisting and jabbing it
until the Fox couldn't help it. He
just had to laugh out loud:
"Ha! Hal Hal Ko! Ho! Ho! Ho,
Tee hee! Tee hee! Tee heel" laugh
ed the Fox, and he just doubled VI
in fun and, of course, Uncle Wig
gily ran away.
From the top of the hill the Bor

UNCLE WIGGILY TICKLES
THE FOX

rOA
The Fuzzy Fox was walking slow
ly down a long hill when he heard
some one whistling.
IT wonder if that can be a Traf-
fic Police Dog?" murmured the
Fox to himself. Il wasn't going
very fast. He can't be wanting me
to stop so he can give me ticket"
So the Fox kept on his way, get
ting more and more hungry every
moment, for he had eaten no break
fast that morning. All at once the
whistle sounded again.
Say, what's the idea?" snarled
the Fox, stopping and looking
around. I'm not going too fast,
am I Police Dog?"
But he saw no Police Dog. In
stead he saw cat. 1t was the Bob
Cat, and this Bad Chap had his
whiskers all puckered up just as
you pucker your lips when you try
to whistle.
WAS that you?" asked the Fox.
WAS that you whistling at me
Yes" mewed the Bob Cat, ct
was"
why did you whistle at me?"
barked the Fox, for he was some
thing like dog in that he could
bark and zap. But his tail was
larger than the tails of most dogs
and his nose was more pointed.
II wanted you to stop" said the
Bob Cat. That's why I whistled
at you, Fuzzy Fox"
Did you want me to stop 50
you could look at my tail?" asked
the Fox. For the Bob Cat had a
silly little tail, no larger than a
baby's thumb, and he was very
much ashamed of it.
mo, I don't want to look at your
TAIL" mewed the Bob Cat
Then why did you whistle me TO
stop?" asked the Fox.
81 want to tell you something
went on the Bob Cat. Il want to
tell you where you can get some
thing to eat"
"Where?" asked the Fox eagerly
for he was getting more and more
hungry all the while.
I'm the cave of Mr.. Whitewash
the Polar Bear" mewed the Boz
Cat.
Thank you for nothingl" snarled
the Fox. II don't care to eat
icicles nor snowballs nor snow
flakes nor even Christmas tree
ornaments which Mr.. Whitewast

worker for its progress in the untimely
death of S. c. Sorenson, former editor
of the Calipatria Herald, who for more
than 10 years as publisher of that paper,
welded an influence in valley affairs,
particularly in the north end.
His services as an official of the Cali
patria Chamber of Commerce. as presi-
dent of the Associated Chambers of Com
merce, and on numerous public commit
tees, stamped him as public-spirited cit
izen, generous with his own time and en-
ergy for the public good.
AS a newspaperman he adhered to the
highest ethics of the profession and made
his paper one of the best, from every
standpoint, in the weekly field of South
ern California.
His associates in the fourth estate"
held him in high esteem and it is with
extreme regret that they write go al
