So the little bunny boys and
girls. began playing inside while
the rain splashed outside. It was
warm rain-so warm that, though
this was Winter in Woodland, the
snow was beginning to melt. There
were great puddles Of water, like
little duck ponds, in the yard OF
Uncle Wiggily's bungalow. The
bunny children played tag, hide
and seek and other games upstairs
and downstairs, making so much
noise that Mrs. Uncle Wiggily and
Nurse Jane wished the rain would
stop so the children could go TO
school. But still 1t poured.
After a while what Baby Bunty
had said would happen did hap

None Of the other boys and

GOOD BYE LANE DUCK

! DERHAPS before this gets into print,
! the 10th amendment to the constitu-
: tlon abolishing the So-called lame duck
session of congress, will have been rati-
fled by the 36th state thereby becoming
the law of the land.
Half a dozen states were in position
to make final vote today on the amend
ment and it appears certain that at least
one of them will do so.
Virginia, the first state to ratify the
amendment, did so less than year ago,
shortly after congress adjourned after
passing the bill.
The desirability of the amendment is
attested by the speed with which it has
been ratified, establishing a record for
the short length of time required. In
contrast is the other amendment, sup
posed to have been the twentieth, for
bidding child labor. This amendment
was passed by congress over nine years
ago, but has never been ratified by the
states, and the lame duck" amendment
will therefor become the twentieth.
Under the twentieth amendment, the
new congress will convene on January 3,
after its election, instead of in December
year following election, as has been
the case since the government was found
ed. The presidential Inauguration will
be held on January 20.
The inconsistency of permitting office
holders who have been defeated at the
polls, to continue for more than year
after their defeat, has been one of the
glaring mistakes Of our method of gov
ernment.
This has never been more emphatic
ally demonstrated than at present, when
congress is practically powerless to enact
any legislation and the President can
do little or nothing because he also auto
matically goes out of office on March A.
Instead of passing legislation essential
to improve present conditions, we have
the spectacle of a house and senate lis
tening to lengthy speeches having no
bearing on the national welfare, vast
ing their own time and the peoples
money.
Placing the new amendment in the con-
stitution is distinct victory for Senator
Norris, of Nebraska, who waged de-
cade long fight in congress to put his
bill through and did so eventually des-
pite almost fanatical opposition from
those in congress who are politicians al
ways and statesmen never.

PRAISE DUE PRODUCE MEN

HIGHEST eommendation is due the pro
II duce growers of Imperial Valley for
their recent action in voluntarily setting
new high standards to be observed in
shipping their products.
Cantaloupe growers raised the require
ments for sugar content from per cent
to 8 per cent; grapefruit growers in
creased the color test from % to 30 per
cent asparagus growers agreed to omit
shipment of unclassified grades and to
ship only graded qualities
The changes are made in the form OF
recommendations to the state legislature
to amend the fruit and vegetable act so
as to recognize these changes as stan
dard for the state, with the exception of
the change in grapefruit standards, which
are to apply only to desert areas.
While the changes if and when carried
out may mean loss to the growers in
the quantity of produce that will not
reach the standards set, it is hoped that
better prices for the higher class ship
ments will offset this.
Growers, to certain extent, are pen
alizing themselves in order to improve
the quality of their product, so that
markets may be educated to a realization
of the high standard of produce shipped
from Imperial Valley and eventually
recognize that the mere fact that produce
comes from this section is guarantee
of its high quality.
The necessity of high standards has
always been recognized by growers here
as is proven by the action of lettuce and
cantaloupe men, who for years past have
assessed themselves in order to bear part
of the cost of inspecting their fruits and
vegetables and have sought to adhere to
a rigid standard even though it meant
curtailment of their shipments.
Such striving for high standards is
bound to have a beneficial effect upon
the fruit and produce industry of the
valley in all of its phases. 1t is most
satisfying state of affairs when men
voluntarily seek a stricter law, instead
of, as SO often the case, using all their
ingenuity merely to keep within the law
through the encouragement of all sorts
of underhanded methods.
