NEW SCHOOL
IN DIXIELAND
OPENS TODAY

Imperial county's newest school
building, that in the Dixieland
school district, opened for the first
time today.
Before acquisition of the school,
which will be a one teacher school,
children in that district had to go
to Westmorland the nearest school.
A long, tedious trip was required
daily, and transportation for these
children cost the county $l400 an
nually. Health of the children and
economy for the county led to the
decision to secure a building near
the youngsters homes.
An old building and land were
secured at a. reasonable figure and
the building put in repair for q
mtderaSe sum- Dixieland districc
is allowed three teachers, one Of
whom will be transferred to the
new building, thus incurring no ex-
ira expense. BY the saving in trans
portation for one year alone, all
expenses will be covered.
The building is located near the
Elmore Jameson tract and the New
River Gun club.

kie Wig is going to give party?"
Il do!' chartered Johnnie, the
squirrel. HE told me so himself. I
guess he didn't think Of it until
told him and all the rest OF you had
gone to school. l was a little late
but I ran fast and got here on
time"
Indeed you did, Johnnie, "
squeaked Miss Mouse. You made
me think there was a fire. But are
you sure Uncle Wiggily said he was
going to have a party?"
"Oh. yes, very sure chartered
Johnnie.
Very we'll, then. Study your les
sons, children, and 1 shall let you
out early" said Miss Mouse.
Afternoon came at last and all
the animal boys and girls ran
whooping from school to Uncle
Wiggily's hollow stump bungalow.
They did not see the rabbit gen.
| tleman, but Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuz-
zy was on the front steps, SO they
asked her where he was.
Down in the corn field an
swered the muskrat lady house
keeper
To the corn field rushed the ami
NAL children and there they saw
Uncle Wiggily looking at the tall
stalks and big ears of corn. He
seemed to be whispering in one ear,
but really, he was only looking at
it. Mr.. Longears looked up as the
animal boys and girls crowded
around him.
The party! The party! What
about the party?" they shouted.
Where is it?" asked Johnnie.
What party?' inquired Mr..
Longears and he looked surprised.
You told me you were going to
give a party today" chartered
Johnnie waving his big bushy tail.
/ "Oh, dear mel" exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily. II must have forgotten all
about it." Truth to tell, he was
thinking so much about new way
to twinkle his pink nose that he
hadn't remembered about the par
+ ty. But I shall keep my word he
said. you shall have your party.
Where? When?" asked Baby
Bunty.
Right here and noWl" laughed
Mr.. Longears. II will give you a
corn party!' And how he did you
shall hear in the story tomorrow.

HICKS MAKE GOOD

Go get em gang, they're Just bunch
of farmer boys"
Some La Jolla rooter sang that out at
the football game last Friday night. 1t
is not sensible, of course, to take it Sc
rlouSly or even 10 assume that it repre-
SentS the view point of San Diego and La
Jolla.
But it does stand for a general atti-
tude so often taken by those who reside
in metropolitan areas or in somewhat
smaller cities. toward those who live in
towns or small settlements
To New Workers. for instance, anyone
living outside Father Knickerbocker's
bailiwick is "hick" and the place
wherein he resides is known as ''the
sticks" The viewpoint is shared by other
cities and towns in proportion to the diff
ference between their size and the size
of other places.
The city resident is prone to consider
his rural brother as a "hick" or dub.
Yet survey of any big city will reveal
a majority of its leading men and women
as originating in ''the sticks Perhaps it
is this class who yells the loudest at the
'hick.' They are mortally afraid some
one will find out that they originally an
swered the classification.
That it is absurd to grant that brains
and class abide only in the cities is too
apparent to need any argument. In the
present instance the farmer boys" show
ed the city slickers" thing or two about
football. The farmer boy always has
this advantage He can move into the
city and make good at the city's own
game The number of city residents who
can move into the country and make
good equals the number of hairs on an
egg.

Charlie Chaplin's, Charlie ought to sue

LET'S PUT 1T OVER

Cooperation of every resident of the
city is urged in connection with the NRA
consumers pledge campaign, which is
being prosecuted now by delegation of
El Centre women who have volunteered
their services to make the campaign
success.
A house to house canvass is being con-
Quoted with the intention of putting the
NRA blue eagle in every home in the city.
The women who have volunteered their
services, like all others who are working
in behalf of the NRA, have done so solely
from a sense of duty to good citizenship
and in answer to the Presidents call for
aid.
They should be given every assistance.
If the pledge card has not been signed
those who are solicited should sign i'm
mediately and place the NRA blue eagle
in the window of their homes. In this
way repeat calls will be avoided and the
campaign can be brought to speedy and
successful close
The NRA, as has been pointed out be-
fore, is the property of the people. They
alone can make it successful and they
must accept the blame should it fail. 1t
will not fail if every individual does his
part. Signing up the pledge card and
abiding by it is just as essential as the
work General Johnson is doing.
Ell Centro should go over the top in
the NRA movement before the week is
out. 1t will do so if the individuals CO.
operate.

is only three months away.

Once upon time when Johnnie

scampering along to school, he saw
Uncle Wiggily out in front of his
hollow stump bungalow.

ed Johnnie.
Hello" answered the rabbit gen.

Then Johnnie couldn't think OF
any thing else to say for a momenl
SO he just said over again:
Hello, Uncle Wiggily!'
Hello answered Mr.. Longears,
laughing. Then he knew Johnnie
must want to ask him something
but was, perhaps, bit bashful. So
the bunny uncle said: What is it
Johnnie?"
oh, here is what was going to
ask YOU spoke Johnnie. 1T just
popped into my head all of sud-
den. When are you going to have

tried to track down Senator Car

She failed to reach his inner Of
flee. She tried vainly to catch him
as he came and went by car.
A friend warned her that Glass
was of an extremely cool and dis
tant temperament and wouldn't be
interested in her woes. Not daunt-
ed she continued her persuit and
finally obtained an audience at the
senator's home.
She reported later that he was
elaborately courteous and promised
to do everything in his power TO
place the unemployed relative. Dur

mentioned that she was of Louisi-

Glass asked her what she thought
of Huey Long-his pet senate ana

rated the 'kingfsh'' in lively fash

The relative is due to get a job,
