UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
ICE ELF

Hiding behind the leafless bush
in what had been a dinghy dell, but
which little valley was now more
like a bosky nook, Uncle Wiggily
looked at the little man sitting on
a rock near the spring of water.
What sort of a game is he play
ing?" asked the rabbit gentleman
who had hoped away from his hol-
low stump bungalow to find an adj
venture that was both funny and
exciting at the same time.
For, indeed, it did seem to be G
sort of game the funny little man
was playing beside the spring in
the bosky nook. While Uncle Wig
gily watched, as I told you last
night, the little man twice blew
his breath on the water of the
rocky bound spring. Each time the
water shimmered, but each time the
little man had said
Not cold enough!"
Now, as Uncle Wiggily still
watched, the little man drew in a
third breath and for the third time
blew it out again, only much more

Doctors Give CreOsOte
For Dangerous Coughs

For many years our best doctors
have prescribed creosote in some
form for coughs, colds and bron-
chitis, knowing how dangerous it is
to let them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal
elements, quickly and effectively
stops all coughs and colds that 9TH
crwise might lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the
treatment of all colds and coughs,
yet it is absolutely harmless and is
pleasant and easy to take.
Your own druggist guarantees
Creomulsion by refunding your
money if you are not relieved after
taking Creomulsion as directed. Be-
ware the cough or cold that hangs
on. Always keep Creomulsion on
hand for instant use. (adv)

OLD UMPIRE

FORT MADISON, Ia, Nov. 16.
(U.P)-Smiled upon, then buffeted
by fate, Tim Hurst, once a national
figure in baseball. has returned to
his old home here to spend the
winter. ~ q sssE%
Twenty-Five years ago Hurst
pitched the Brooklyn Dodgers, in
the National League, to 10 vic
tories and eight defeats in one
season. Today, however, Hurst
appears much older than his Sc
years.
Illness and the worry of eco
nomic stress have not killed his
interest in baseball. Last season
he obtained a position as umpire
in the Three-Eye League, the cir
cult in which he made his first
bow to professional baseball.
The league broke up in mid-sea-
son, however, and Hurst again was
jobless. He later umpired for a
small league in the Northern States
after calling the balls and strikes
for the collegians at Notre Dame
in their early games.
Hurst S big league career was
terminated by an accident which
occurred while he was pitching for
Philadelphia OF the National
League. A line drive from the bat
of Magee, PhiIlies' outfielder,
struck Hurst, injuring him Sc
yerely
After he had recovered, Hurst
obtained a job umpiring in the
American League. He held this
position for three years, but again
was injured and was forced to re-
tire to the minor leagues, where
less speed was required.

He leaned down and touched a

HI DID HIS JOB-WELL

Many big men held many big jobs dur
ing the strenuous days of 1917-1S, the ma
jority of whom performed their duties
in a highly meritorious manner at great
personal sacrifice and in the face of ter
rifle obstacles.
Among such was Edward n. Hurley,
who died Tuesday in Chicago. AS chair
man of the United States Shipping Board,
it was Hurley's job to get men and sup
plies over to Pershing in the quickest
possible time and with maximum of
safety.
He did that job and did it we'll. Over
two million men and an unlimited amount
of supplies ranging from locomotives to
string and pins, were sent to France and
other European countries. 1t was the
greatest transportation job the world
has ever seen.
Hurley got modest salary and a
medal for his work. There was never a
slight suspicion of irregularity in any of
his dealings. He wore no gold braid and
was accorded no signal honOrs. He was
just an ordinary citizen serving his coun-
try as best he could and his best was
wonderful.

\ GOT ANY SHOES?

Going barefoot these mornings and
nights is not exactly joke, even for
grown person, and it is particularly
tough on youngsters. There are many
youngsters in Ell Centro who have to go
without shoes and this appeal to help
them is directed to those who may be IN
position to do SO.
The Childrens Clothes Closet, which
has been functioning here for several
years past. includes in its numerous ac-
tivities ali effort to supply shoes for
children, whose parents are unable to
provide them. They need not be new
shoes. for old ones can be reconditioned
and made serviceable.
Any families having children's discard
ed shoes, or shoes for adults, is asked to
give them to the Clothes Closet instead
of throwing them away or destroying
them. Clothing is also needed badly and
donations of this kind will be gladly ac
cepted.
There are other organizations doing
similar work in the city This appeal for
help is made in their behalf as we'll as
that of the Clothes Closet. None should
throw away or destroy any article of
clothing without first giving these char
liable agencies an opportunity to see if
they can use 1t.

HOW ABOUT 1T?

Authorities in San Diego have been ad-
vised by the navy department that the
u. s. F. Constitution, "Old IrOnsides'
will be permitted to spend the winter in
that city, remaining there until next
March.
Last spring many valley residents,
particularly school children, were able
to 90 to San Diego to visit the historic
ship Others have done so since the re-
cent arrival of the frigate from the north.
However there are many who have not
as yet seer the ship whose history is con-
tenporaneous with the history of the ma
ton it has served so faithfully for so
many years. The long stay in San Di-
ego qives ample opportunity for every
valley resident to see the Constitution,
and it is hoped that all will do so.
Certainly no Imperial Valley school
child should be denied the chance to
visit and inspect the Constitution, yet
there must be some whose parents can
not afford to take them to San Diego.
Here is a chance for civic organizations
to make it possible for such children to
see "Old lronsides.
Between now and the middle of March
there is ample time to work out some
means of enabling these children to visit
the Constitution without expense to their
parents. It would not necessarily demand
a heavy financial outlay and it would be
a historic treat that the youngsters would
remember throughout their lives. AS
lesson in Americanism and patriotism, 1t
cannot be equalled, for the Constitution
is an inspiration to love of country.
When the CONSTITUTIONS stay at San
Diego is ended it will in all probability
be returned to the Atlantic coast to re-
main there Those who are now boys ana
girls will be men and women before "Old
IronsideS" returns to the Pacific.
We recommend to the Associated
Chambers of Commerce, to all cham
bers of commerce, civic, patriotic and
fraternal organizations in Imperial Val
ley, this idea of making it possible for
every Imperial Valley child to visit the
Constitution Now is the time to start
thinking about it and acting upon it.
We expect these kids, regardless of
position, race, creed or color to become
good Americans. Here is chance to
give them fine start toward that goal.

TROUBLESOME JAPAN

Despite the fact that she has virtually conquered
the province Of Jeho Japan continues her military
operations beyond the Great Wall of China, and
the world is given further reason for apprehension
as to her ultimate detectives on the continent.
The new Japanese movement is bringing serious
concern to other major world powers including the
United States whose citizens are being jeopardized
by the continued Japanese military operations in
close proximity to territory protected by interna
tional treaties. Japan is unquestionably treadirg
on dangerous ground but apparently she does not
care. And one naturally wonders how long that
'situaton can continue before other major powers
will be obliged to interpose with vigorous pro-
test amounting possibly to an ultimatum. The
Japanese activities give the impression of a nation
gone "crazy" with program of imperialistic eE
pansion which is bound TO bring serious involve
ment with other major powers Of the world IN
less the Japanese military course or the continent
is speedily modified it seems almost inevitable that
she will precpitate further trouble with the rest of

TEXTILE PROSPECTS

Concluding a review of the existing situation in
the textile industry and the prospects, the McGraw
Hill organization, which keeps sharp track of thu
course of events finds that the trend Of textile
prices during the next several months will be up-
ward. but moderately 50. It's previously expressed
anticipation of higher volume in textile activity
during the year, as against last year, has been re-
inforced by the developments of the past month.
Douglas Wolfe, editor of the Textile World, senses
an air Of hopefulness and determination which con-
trasts with that of despair, long prevalent. THIS
new spirit is based the belief that the worst Is
over, and that whatever of grief may come during
the next few months some banks open on
crutches and others stay closed, will be nothing in
comparison with the catastrophe which was threat
ening prior to March /. 1t is based, furthermore,
on the realization that the crisis definitely halted
another stage in the degeneration Of textile prices;
it is unthnkabIe that this collapse should resume.
