perial Valley has. The best cantaloupes,
the best lettuce, the finest grapes-all
things the valley raises are but dust and
ashes compared to one Boy Scout, or one
youngster even if he is not Scout.
Would any father sell his boy for a
dollar?
Is he going to be willing to sell out
a whole flock of boys because he doesn't
feel he can afford to contribute dollar
to help them? The answer is due now.
If it is yes, the Boy Scout work will
continue. If it is no, Imperial Valley
gets a black eye all over the country as
being one spot on the map (once the
white spot of which we Dragged so
much), that has thrown down its BOYS.

swimming very fast in the water.
Then they sort of jump and run
on top of the water with their
flat feet at the same time flap
ping their big wings, and at last
they rise like an airplane and go
flying away.
When Uncle Wiggily reached the
pond beneath the evergreen trees,
he saw that there was ice all
around the edges. There was a
place in the middle where the
water wasn't frozen and in this
open place the big, white swan
was swimming around in circle
as fast as he could paddle.
Hello, Hisser!" called Uncle
Wiggily, Hisser being the name of
the swan because that was the
way he talked.
"Hello!" answered the large,
white bird.
Il came TO see if you were froz-
en- in," went on the rabbit gentle
man. Nurse Jane thought you
might be for it was very cold last
night"
mo, thank you, I'm not yet froz-
en- in" said the swan.
why don't you stop padding
and talk to me?" asked the rabbit
gentleman. IT want to ask you
| something"
'Well, ask away" spoke the swan.
"But I can't talk to you if you
keep padding like merry &c
round all the while" said Uncle
! Wiggily, laughing.
"I dare not stop padding OF
! swimming" said the swan. IF
stop, for even a little while, the
water in the middle of my pond
will freeze solid like that on the
edge. I must keep moving and keep
the water moving or will freeze
in. Moving water, you know, does
MT freeze"
"Yes, I know" Uncle Wiggily
said. That's why, on cold nights
we leave the water running in oul
bungalow sink. But never minC
about your pond freezing. If il
does you can stay in my bungalow
Come out of your pond on shore
I have something to tell you"
"All right" answered the swan. Sc
he padded to the edge of the ice
climbed out and waddled towaro
the rabbit, and, no sooner had hi
done this than "crack!" the mid
die of the pond which had beer
open water up to this time, froZt
in the twinkling of an eye.
"Oh, look what happened" criee
Fisser. "Lookp But Mr.. Longear'
told the swan not to worry, fol
everything would be all right. Ant

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
SWAN

There was a duck pond near
Uncle Wiggilys hollow stump bum
galow, and in the water of this
pond Lulu, Alice and Jimmie Wib-
blewobble, the duck children paddl-
ed about and had fun in summer.
Now that it was Winter in Wood
land, where the rabbit gentleman
lived, the pond was covered with
ice and the ducks had to skate in
stead of swimming.
I have told you many stories
about this duck pond, but I think
I have never told you any stories
about the swan pond, SO I shall
start now. The swan pond was near
the duck pond, but it was shelter
ed under the branches of evergreen
Christmas trees, so the water of
the swan pond did not freeze as
easily as the water in the duck
pond.
Swans, you know, are large white
or black birds, much bigger than
ducks and they have very long

SHOWDOWN on SCOUTS

NEVER yet have we heard or read any
II word even slightly antagonistic to
the Boy Scout movement On the con-
trary, it has been given the highest praise
at all times by those who know boys best
their parents, educators and men
keenly aware of the deficient training
which they received as boys.
All of US are aware of the high stand
ing accorded the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea. We do not have to be told of its
merits, either as a national or local or
ganiZation.
Knowing that it is SO essential to the
proper training of boys it is astonish-
ing indeed that the adults of this COM
munity should be willing to give it up
without putting up a fight for it.
That is just what is going to happen.
nevertheless, unless these same adults
come to their senses and do something
more for the Boy Scouts than admitting
it is. wonderful thing for the boys.
We are advised by the executives of
the Boy Scout council that unless the
present campaign for funds is success
ful, the work here will have to be sus-
pended. 1t is not threat that the exc
cutives are making, but pitifully true
statement of fact. which they would give
anything to avoid putting into words.
Some may say, I'VE can get along
without the Boy Scouts just now, and
later on when times are better, we can
resume the work Do they think the
national organization is going to be very
anxious to reenter community which
has once thrown it down? Such thing
can hardly be expected. And no local
Boy Scout movement can be conducted
without the national organization back
of it.
The Boy Scout movement is neces-
sity, not luxury or a non-essential. 1t
has been getting by locally for the past
two years on budget wholly inadequate
even for these stringent times and has
made no complaint Nor has cur
tailed budget caused any curtailment in
the program of work The Scouts have
been getting the same fine training that
they have always received.
There is a breakfast to be held tomor-
row morning at 80 in the California
hotel Every person who realizes what
abandoning the Boy Scouts will mean
for the youth of this community ought
to be at that meeting, ready to pledge
his aid, morally and financially, to keep
the organization here.
Not even the most stringent economic
condition is sufficient excuse for throw
ing down our boys. If their own par
ents and friends abandon them what
kind of an outlook does it give them on
the world in general if we teach them
to put their faith and trust in us, and
then when the pinch comes we drop
them?
These boys are the finest investment I'M

the bottom of the pond and pick
up roots and plants that grow
there.
One day Uncle Wiggily hoped
past the duck pond where he saw
Lulu, Alice and Jimmie skating
over the ice.
Get you skates and have some
fun with us!" quacked Jimmie the
duck.
Il would like to-" answered Mr..
Longears. "but I must go on an
errand for Nurse Jane"
"Well, come and play with us
when you get back" invited Lulu
as she skated sideways while her
sister Alice did sort of grapevine
twist, very pretty to look at
II WILL" promised Uncle Wiggily.
He did not tell the duck children
where he was going but he was on
his way to the swan pond. That
morning Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy
had said to the rabbit gentleman:
"It is so cold perhaps the poor
swan is frozen in the ice"
I'll go take look" offered Un-
Gle Wiggily. Il have nothing special
to do this morning and may get
an adventure out of it,"
IF the poor, cold swan is frozen
in the ice of his pond, bring him
here and let him stay by the warm
stove in your bungalow" said the
muskrat lady housekeeper.
"I1l do that" promised Uncle
Wiggily. This Winter there was
but one swan left on the pond to
paddle about with his black, web
bed feet and to thrust his long
neck down under water. All the
other swans had flown down tc
the warm Southland to stay during
cold weather, but this one swar
had a sore wing SO he could not
fly.
Swans look To be so big and heavy
when they are out OF water that
some children think these large
birds can't fly. But they can onct

WHERE TO ECONONTZE

THOUSANDS of government clerks in
l Washington, working and supporting
families, have been making too much
money, now and in years past. Salaries
from $500 up to $1,000 include many
of these workers.
Congress has shown its willingness TO
economic by reducing the salaries of
these plutocratS thereby saving con-
siderable sum. Considerable to gov
ment with a deficit that is staggering
Such reductions pinch the purses of
the clerks but then everyone is going
around these days with pinched purse.
That is, all but congressman and SEN
ators. When it came to question of
reducing their own salaries Saturday,
the representatives and senator's were
steadfast as rocks-against any cut
A proposal in the house to reduce the
present salary of $4,000 to $4,000 drew
two votes, that of the author of the bill
and one lone supporter. The rest of the
congressman were in deep swoons,
caused by the very thought of such cal
amity. Another bill to cut from $4,000
to $500, Jared only a little better.
No poor congressman should be asked
to struggle along on $500 year, not
even with free haircuts, messages, tail
oring and flowers for the house thrown
in. And as for senator! Perish the
thought that a senator could senate"
properly on one cent less than he is get
ting.
But the clerks! That is something
else again Let's talk over another cut
for them. 1t will show the people we
are economiZing.
