UNCLE WIGGILY'S

When Uncle Wiggily and MI.

thought they would have lots OF
fun keeping cool all Summer.

other get wet" Uncle Wiggily said,
as Mr.. Stubtail poured water into
the big tin can he had fastened up
in a tree. The can had holes
punched in the bottom and out OF
these holes the water sprinkled for
the shower bath.

the shaggy bear.

SHORTAGE IN
HAY MARKET.
BY J. S. CAMERON

A month ago a seasonal shortage
OF alfalfa was apparent. Today,
conditions are unchanged. The
shortage is still apparent, yet the
hay prices have a tendency to
weaken. The abject necessity for
ready cash compels many grower
to burn the candle at both ends. I
quote the following from Federal
State Market News of June 26:
"Some local dairy interests are
now purchasing heavy supplies of
hay for later requirements-influ-
enced chiefly by the low prevail
ing prices and good quality. Sup
plies in producing areas are gen.
orally moved into the consumers
hands this season as readily as
produced.' .l....
The Imperial Hay Growers asso-
citation has established two bonded
yards thus far. One is located on
the H. A. Hastain ranch, eight
miles east of Brawley, and the 9TH
er at Westmorland. Intermediate
Credit Bank loans can be made
available now upon hay stored in
these yards. If the organization
can energize the industry as it
were, to a point where it can pro-
tect itself against a weak and tenn
porarily overloaded market at Hynes
and in the Los Angeles area, the
signs are hopeful. Furthermore it
is to the interest of both producer
and consumer that the supplies be
conserved at the point of produc-
ton and that disposition be made
when necessary.
Reports indicate that the hay
crop is short in the north. Ore
gon may have to import dairy feed

A COUPLE OF BOUQUETS

IN THESE times of troublesome fin
! ances, when municipalities and politi-
cal subdivisions of one type or another
including world powers, are defaulting
on just debts it is gratifying to note the
stand taken by the members of the Ell
Centro city council, in refusing to dodge
payment of bonds which fall due next
month
Wednesday night the council voted the
transfer of money from the general fund,
to meet the bond payments, accompany
ing the action with the statement that
they did not propose to have the city
avoid any Just obligations.
The council is certainly to be COM
mended for taking this attitude and for
conducting the city's financial affairs in
such way that it is possible to take
such action.
And while handing a deserved bouquet
to the city fathers, one is also due to
] ohm Joseph Taxpayer. The council re-
ported that John Joseph has paid II per
cent of the taxes he owes the city for
this fiscal year That is a much better
record than many cities, larger and
smaller than Ell Centre, can show.
John Joseph also gets a bouquet and
it is to be hoped that he and the city
council can keep up their fine records.

Observation of the hay industry
leads one to the conclusion that the
hay producer should think carefully
before forcing his hay upon the
market. He may throw away good
dollars that can not be retrieved
next fall when hay is scarce.
The frenzied effort made by the
administration to give the farmer
a "neW deal' can only be attained
by the thoughtful and intelligent
cooperation of the farmer. If Mr..
Farmer fails to step into the COL
lar and do his share of the pull
ing he must not blame the admin
istration if the project fails.

as intense as the war debate and at
the end of it all, by vote Of nearly
two to one, the members Of Congress
of all parties voted to reduce their
own salaries and to reduce the salaries
of all Federal employees. They voted
to reduce the compensation and pen

Economic recovery is impossible un-

money circulates only when it Is bor-

it can be profitably invested, and the
bank or the individual or the agency
which makes the loans must first be
assured that the money will be re-
turned when 1t Is due and that the
rates of interest contracted for will be
paid. Men will not borrow money un-
less they can see an investment which
will protect the principle and assure
sufficient return to meet the inter-
est charge and in addition to that leave
some profit for themselves. Money Is
borrowed for the purpose Of building
