UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE BOB
CATS RITE


Are you all right, Miss Mouse?n
asked Uncle Wiggily as he sat on
the edge of the Duck Pond with
water running off the end of his
pink nose, and looked at the ami
NAL School Teacher. She was dig
ging a bit of mud out of her left
ear with the end of her tail,
"Oh, yes, I'm all right, thank
you, Mr.. Longears," she squeaked.
Don't call me Mr.. Longears.
Call me Uncle Wiggily,' said the
Bunny.
Suppose I call you Unkie Wig,
as Baby Bunty does?" asked Miss
Mouse, trying to smile prettily,
though it wasn't easy, for she had
some mud in her eye.
Sure! Call me Unkie Wigl"
laughed the Bunny gentleman, and
then he laughed, for he put his
paw in his pocket to get his hand
kerchief and found it full of wa
teri mean his pocket was full of
water and it also had mud in it.
''All right, Unkie Wig" squeaked
Miss Mouse. But don't worry
about me. I'm all wet and so are
you but it was a jolly adventure,
after ALL"
I'm glad to think so, Miss
Mouse" spoke the rabbit.
"Oh, no fair!" she quickly said

WASHINGTON May 20.-Haf&
old l.. Ickes, secretary of interior,
is emerging as one of the strongest
of the Roosevelt cabinet members
The unusualness of the situation is
apparent quickly when one tries to
recollect the names of the last half
dozen or SO who have occupied this
normally inconspicuous cabinet
post.
The Presidents ambitious plans
for internal development have
thrown added Importance on Ickes'
department Now the oil industry
control plan, started yesterday on
its legislative journey, promises TO
set up Ickes as a ruler whose word
will be law in the oil fields
Ickes, who name is pronounced
in two syllables, is SO, liberal in
creed and hard worker by habit.
The Ickes who founded the line
came over with William Penn and
a great-grandfather fought in the
revolution. The man whose opinions
now are bearing such weight dur
ing this period of economic adjust
ment and experiment was a pro-
gressive Republican but jumped to
the Democrats when Warren G.
Harding was nominated for the pre-
sidency.
Ickes holds open house for visi-
tors between 10 and II each morn

floor of the department building.

DECISION CLINCHES RECALL

DECISION given by Judge Vaughn n.
" Thompson yesterday clarifies the
Adams recall case to the extent that an
election to decide whether the Brawley
member of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict board shall retain his office or give
way to another, must be called by the dis
trict
An appeal from the decision, we are
advised by legal authority, is practically
worthless. 1t does not delay the cleo
ton, which must be called by the district
and probably will be at the next meeting
of the board on Tuesday.
Should the district fail to call the
election it opens the way for the attorney
for those who opposed the injunction to
apply directly to the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus compelling the dis
trict to order the election held.
Judge Thompson decided the case
strictly upon its merits. The average
citizen will agree that the voters of the
Brawley district, who have twice express
sed their desire for a recall against
Adams, should not be thwarted by legal
technicalities, particularly in view of
the fact that their effort at recall was
defeated by theft of their recall peti-
tions from the district office, a bit of
political piracy which those opposing the
recall cannot explain away in manner
satisfactory to honest people.
BY his vote for an appeal to the su-
preme court against the decision of the
local superior court making permanent
an injunction granted in the first effort
to recall him, Adams placed himself in
the contradictory position of not want
ing to have an INDUCTION for which he
asked.
In this alone he placed the stamp of
undesirablility on himself and justified
the voters of his district in again seeking
to recall him.

CANTALOUPES MOVING

INFORMATION that Imperial Valley
l cantaloupes are bringing good
price in the market should be encourag-
ing to the entire valley.
The lateness of the season, due to un-
usually cool weather, has retarded ship
ments much beyond the usual date when
they should be leaving in solid train
loads.
While the man in the street may think
that the cantaloupe crop has no bearing
on his welfare he is greatly mistaken.
When shipments are held up, such as
they have been, the result is felt in every
line of industry in the valley.
Warmer weather may bring some per-
sonal discomfort, but it means thousands
of dollars to Imperial Valley, once the
''cants" start rolling to all parts of the
country.
Movement of this crop is considered
one of the most gigantic problems faced
by railroads and shippers, the highly
perishable nature of the cantaloupes and
the short season in which they may be
shipped making quick and coordinated
action essential on the part of all who
have to deal with it.
CantaloupeS are an asset to Imperial
Valley, not only in growing and shipping
them, but in the nationwide publicity
which they bring each year to this COM
munity.
College men approaching graduation
in June and wondering what they will be
able to do for work, might make applica-
ton to the Roosevelt administration
which is certainly using plenty of them.

recognition for the Soviet. And II you

 DINNER AND PICNIC

Another annual Seward Shrine picnic passed into history Satur- day night when 18 members of the world famous organization adjourned from a stag dinner giv- en at Orlander's bungalow, at Woodrow and wended their way home after voting the affair one of the most successful of the many held in previous years.
 The first member arrived at 4:3O in the afternoon and from that time on others gradually arrived until a count of noses showed 18 present.
 The table fairly groaned under the weight of the large variety of food which, in some instances, had to be pyramided in order to rest on the banquet board
 Stories were related by members, Noble Chas. Cameron waxing elo- quent with a long array of fancy Scotch stories;' Noble Wayne Blue led the vocalistS.
 One committee decided a big cottonwood tree, near the cottage, was menace so, all hands assist ed in felling the tree which was felled with marvellous accuracy, missing the lodge by safe margin.

UNCLE SANS JAILER

1T is gratifying that one of the first actions
l. of President Roosevelt's temporary attor-
ney-general, Homer Cummings, was to reap
point Sanford Bates as federal prison di-
rector.
In his four years as head of federal pris-
ons, Bates has done splendid job. He has
eased the pressure of overcrowding, not only
by building new prisons, but by wider use of
paroles, probation and outdoor prison camps.
He has displayed a leadership by building a
new federal prison at LewiSburg, Pa, that
fulhlls just about every ideal of modern
penology
Unsentimentally, he has labored to substi-
tute science for revenge in the treatment of
criminals.
If the costly American penal system, which
the Wickersham commission branded as a
$100GOO,OOO failure, ever succeeds in curing
crime, it will do SO through the efforts of such
men as Director Bates and Assistant Direc-
tor Austin H. MacCormick.

TREES FOR WASTE LAND

VXTHEN you look into the question of refor-
w estation you begin to understand what a
tremendous opportunity lies ready to be
tapped by President Roosevelts emergency I'M
employment relief plan.
The President wants a quarter million men
put to work on reforestation jobs; and while
the primary motive, of course, is to hitch job
less men up with jobs, the reforestation idea in
itself is project of tremendous potentialities.
This nation once had 822,O0OOOO acres Of
forest Now it has little better than 1OO,-
100000 acres. At the present rate of cutting,
this supply will be gone in two decades
Yet it has been estimated that we have ap-
proximateIy 100000 acres of idle land which
could proftably be devoted to the raising of
trees. Isn't it high time we put those acres to
work?
