THE FARMERS RIGHT

COME there are who wonder why the
- farmer demands so much from the
government and why relief for him is
one OF the most important controversies
with which the government has to deal.
They might well be answered by the
farmer asking who has better right to
talk straight from the shoulder to the gov
ernment.
One hundred and fifty-eight years ago
today thin little line of American farm
ers stood on the village green at Lexing-
ton, Massachusetts.
They had suffered from the wrongs of
excessive taxation and English abuse for
many years. The warning of their COM
mander, Captain John Parker, might ex-
plain their feelings better than anything
else. 1t is written on the stone that
marks the line of the Minute Men" at
Lexington: Stand your ground. Don't
fire unless fired upon, but if they mean
to have war, let it begin here"
They were not looking for trouble but
they did not intend to avoid it if it came
their way. A handful of hardy men,
ready to stand up against the might of
Britain, they were weak in numbers but
strong in determination
The British came, in overwhelming
numbers. The pitiful little group of
farmers lived up to their commanders
injunction. They stood their ground and
they did not fire until they were fired
upon. Then there were too few of them
left to do much damage against the Brit
ish forces and such as could withdrew.
But the British paid dearly for those
dead on Lexington green. They paid that
day when the aroused farmers ambushed
the "Redcoats" as they returned from
Concord, whittier they had gone after
the Lexington skirmish. From behind
trees, rocks and fences they picked off
the British who were glad to race into
Boston and the protection of heavy re-
Inducements.
Yes, the farmer has plenty of right on
his side He started off this nation of
ours and none has greater interest in
it. Statesmen and lawmakers will do
we'll to listen when he speaks.
What is written here applies equally
we'll locally or nationally. Imperial Val
ley too was started by the farmer and
there has been considerable disregard of
his wishes in the years this community
has been in existence. Like his forerun-
ner in Massachusetts, he knows the bur-
den of heavy taxation and the results
of the politicians sway. He does not
plan armed revolt, as the Minute Men
did, but he will demand more efficient
conduct of public affairs and more re-
gard for the wishes of the taxpayer.
And when he does demand, politicians
will also do we'll to listen.

BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD e. GARRIS
tCopyright. 1892 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)

Cat can drop the clothes and come
back and join. me-"
AS yet Uncle Wiggily had not
caught up to the Bob Cat with his
suit of clothes and it did not seem
as if the rabbit ever would. For the
Bob Cat was running fast He had
often chased Uncle Wiggily but it
was the first time the rabbit had
ever chased the Bad Chap.
AL of a sudden, as Uncle Wiggily
was hopping along the woodland
path, he saw a hole in the ground
and cut of the hole popped the
head of an animal At first the
rabbit thought it might be another
Bad Chap ready to nibble him. But,
taking second look, Mr.. Longears
saw it was Woodie Chuck looking
out of the hole at him.
Woodie Chuck was jolly
grounding or woodchuck boy, who
liked the rabbit gentleman very
much.
Quick. Uncle Wiggily!" called
Woodie, Pop down into this hole
where am if you don't want to be
nibbled.'
What hole is itP" asked the rab-
bit gentleman.
Its the burrow hole where 1
live" Woodie answered.
why should I pop down into
it?" asked Uncle Wiggily. 1T is
very kind of you, Woodie to invite
me- But 1 am chasing the Bob Cat,
who has my clothes. 1 was in
swimming can't go home without
my suit"
You'll go home without your ears
if you don't pop down into this
hole!" chartered Woodie Don't you
know the Fox is chasing you? It
is all a trick of the Bad Chaps to
catch you, taking your suit that
way"
"Oh, my goodness So it is' said
poor Uncle Wiggily, looking back
and seeing the Fox close to him.
"All right, Woodie, I'll pop!'
So down into the hole of the
ground-hog family Uncle Wiggily
popped himself, and just in time,
for a moment later the Fox would
have had him. The Bob Cat, look
ing back, saw what had happened,
and he was SO angry that he threw
Uncle Wiggily's clothes high up
into tree. And the Fox was so
angry that he snapped his teeth.
But neither of them could catch
the rabbit, who was safe in the bur-
/ row.
But how am to get home with
out any clothes?" asked Uncle Wig
gily sadly. II can't climb the tree
to get down my suit the Bob Cat
tossed up there. What shall I do?"
4 'Waddie and will make you a
new suit of clothes" promised
! Woodie. And how the woodehuck
brothers did this you shall hear in
the next story, which will be about
Uncle Wiggily and the bird fea-
| theirs.
But will you please ask the ice
man not to put snow on the hands
of the clock or they'll get SO cold
they won't tell the time.

NEW YORK, April 19.-The ac-
QUESTION of Al Simmons, Mule Haas
and Jimmy Dykes seems to have
injected a menacing punch into
Chicago's White Sox. This outfit,
which ranked seventh in club bat
ting last season, now is hitting
better than any team in the Amer
ican League.
Lew Fonseca IS men clicked off 56
hits in five games for the impress
sive average of 1912 hits game.
The Cleveland Indians, are their
nearest competitors with an aver
age of 86 hits a game.
Simmons, Haas and Dykes are
proving mighty useful. They we
driven in 10, and six runs, respect
lively.
Bucky Harris was given first
hand proof of the ChisoX batting
power yesterday when they smashed
the Tigers, IL to 0. Sad Sam Jones,
the first Chicago pitcher to go the
route this year, limited the Tigers
to seven hits while his mates
pounded Bridges and Hogsett all
over the Navin field for Is safeties,
including a home run in the seventh
by Ralph Kress. Five Detroit er-
rors contributed to the victory.
Continuing their show Of
strength, the Boston Red SoX won
their second straight game from

everything else that Mr.. Longears
had taken off when he went in
swimming.
"If I don't get my suit back,
what in the world am I TO do?"
thought the rabbit gentleman as
he hoped along after the Bob Cat.
He did not see the Fox running be-
hind him, getting ready, when he
came to a deep, dark, dismal part
Of the woods, to catch him.
AS told you in the stories be-
fore this, Uncle Wiggily had gone
in for the first swim of the new
Spring season. He left his clothes
under a bush on the bank of the
brook. Along came the Fox and
Bob Cat, who saw the rabbit
though he didn't see them.
Then the Bob Cat said he would
grab Uncle Wiggily's clothes and
run away with them.
And, of course. he'll chase after
me to get them back" mewed the
short-tailed Bad Chap.
And, of course, while he's run
ming after you I'll sneak around and
run after him, whispered the Fox
"And I'll catch him and Wen both
nibble him in the woods"
"Good!" said the Bob Cat, though
/ I think it was rather bad for Un-
Gle Wiggily, don't you?
anyhow, that's how it happened
I SO now Uncle Wiggily, not knowing
what a trick was being played or
him, was running after the Boz
Cat to get his clothes-I mean Un-
Gle Wiggily's clothes.
II think this part of the woods
is deep, dark and dismal enough,
said the Fox to himself as he rar
little faster and came nearer anc
nearer the hopping rabbit. "Ill put
on a little extra speed in mo-
ment and get him, Then the Bot

UNCLE WIGGILY's NEW SUIT

"Ha! Ha! Hal" laughed the Fuz-
IZy Fox.
"Ho! Ho! Ho!" chuckled the Bob
Cat with his silly little tail.
Don't let him catch you!" called
the Fox.
It won't" was the answer of the
Bad Chap, who had taken Uncle
Wiggily's clothes ana was running
away with them But when are
you going to catch that rabbit"
asked the Bob Cat.
I'm a little while" answered the
Fox. You keep on running and he
will keep running after you and
I'll keep running after Uncle Wig
gily until we get to a deep, dark,
dismal part of the woods. 1t will
be easy to catch him there"
20. K.," laughed the Bob Cat.
But Uncle Wiggily wasn't laugh
ing. No, indeed! The poor rabbit
gentleman was running through

TR0JANS WILL
SELECT TEAM

LOS ANGELES, April 10. U.PJt-
Still uncertain about the condition
of his broad jumpers, high jumpers
and javelin throwers, Dean B.
Cromwell today sent his University
of Southern California track and
field team through its last hard
workout before the Stanford meet
next Saturday.
After todays workout, Cromwell
will select the "a or 35 athletes who
will defend the Trojans national
championship against the onslaught
of the powerful Cardinal team,
coached by Dink Templeton.
Cromwell knows that Stanford is
the only team in the country strong
enough to defeat the Trojans in a
dual meet or the I. G. A. A. A. A.
meet. The veteran Trojan mentor
believes that Stanford's strength
in field events, especially the
weights, makes the road to victory
a difficult and uncertain one.
Saturday, Curtis McFadden and
John Johnson, 1. G. A. A. A. A.
point winners and Doyle Gilbert, a
new prospect, compete for the first
time this season in the broad jump.
The trio has been suffering from
injured legs or ankles since early
in the season.

Miller, sparkling Stanford pole

Coach Dink Templeton said he
was uncertain whether Miller
would compete because of a severe
heel bruise, suffered last Saturday
when he and teammate, Bud Dea-
con, set new "big meet record
against California.
If the 14-foot vaulter is absent,
it will be up to Deacon to carry
the Cardinal colors against the Tro-
jams star, Bill Graber, unofficial
worlds record holder.

"WHY?", Mr.. ADAMS

DECISION of the Imperial Irrigation
District yesterday to appeal the ver-
dict of the superior court granting per-
Hanent restraining order against the re-
call of Director Burleigh Adams, of the
Brawley district, will prompt many cit
liens and taxpayers to ask the question
why and with particular reference to
Mr.. Adams himself.
Certainly the director does not want to
be recalled, otherwise he, or friends rep
resenting him, would not have retained
an attorney and sought an injunction
against holding a recall election.
The court upheld the injunction, GO
ing a step further and making it per-
manent.
Yesterday two directors voted for an
appeal of the decision and two voted
against it. Rose and Aten We're the for
mer and Hewes and Young the latter
This put the matter up to Adams
the man who wants an injunction against
his recall Adams voted in favor of an
appeal thereby signifying that he does
not want the injunction for which he
asked
Taxpayers particularly will ask
why" They are the ones who must
foot the bill for the cost of the appeal.
Perhaps district officials, who resent
and deny the accusation they are squan-
dering public money, can explain why
this additional expense, plus resulting
expenses if the appeal is granted, must
be placed on the taxpayers.
Perhaps Mr.. Adams can offer legiti-
mate excuse for his 'about face. But
then again, perhaps he doesn't know
whether or not he wants an injunction.
His action yesterday certainly justif.es
observers in presuming that he doesn't
know Just what he does want
Such indecision indicates more than
anything else that taxpayers of Adams
division are justified in seeking his re-
call.

exceptionally high order of merit. Miss
Critcher herself found quite little time for
