HAY COMING BACK

While news items about repeal, the ad-
minlstration's monetary policy, the forth
coming Columbia-Stanford tangle and
Christmas, may outrank it in the eyes of
the city man, there is big news for him
as we'll as the rancher in the announce
ment that hay Of the best grade is now
selling for SIS ton on the Los Angeles
market
This means around 81 per ton for the
Imperial Valley rancher, and is most
encouraging advance from the prices of
several months ago which went as low as
Sc per ton.
1t is not expected that hay will COM
mand a sensational price Economic con-
ditions in general are against that. How
ever, if the hay grower can get price
that will give him even a small profit in
fact if he can get price that will en-
able him to break even, it is much better
than selling at a loss as he has been do
ing for too long time
The better price for hay should be
welcomed by the city man as much as it
is by the farmer. The former cannot
prosper if the latter does not. Hay may
not be a sensational crop like lettuce or
cantaloupes, but it is one Of the staunch
stand-bys of Imperial Valley. 1t repre-
sents considerable money to this COM
munity when prices are right. That they
are getting right is therefor important
news.

BEDTIME STORIES

they are all eating some sugar pud-
ding they can't ask questions
But where are they going to get
sugar pudding asked Nurse Jane.
You are going to give it to
them!" laughed Mr.. Longears. Till
a big dish with sugar pudding and
put in plenty Of spoons. III take it
out to the children and they can
stand around it in a circle and eat.
Then they won't think of asking me
about the Christmas tree secret" he
whispered to the muskrat lady
houSekeeper.
So Nurse Jane filled a big dish
with sugar pudding. Some day L
may tell you how to make sugar
pudding. And when Uncle Wiggily
took it out on his bungalow porch
you should have heard the shout
of joy from Baby Bunty and all
the others.
Gather 'round!" called Uncle
Wiggily. Gather round and eat
the sugar pudding"
This they did right merrily and
soon there was nothing left in the
dish but the empty spoons and
they were very clean.
Now run away and play said
Uncle Wiggily. You have had
your fun. III take the pudding
dish back in to Nurse Jane to
wash"
This he started to do, holding the
spoons in one paw and the large
dish in the other paw. Now,
whether the spoons tickled the rab-
bit or whether the big dish was too
heavy for one paw, I can't say for
sure. Anyhow, just as he was hop
ping up the front bugaloW steps,
the sugar pudding dish slipped, fell
and broke in many pieces with a
bang and a clang and Whang.
"Oh, you've broken my pudding
DISH" exclaimed Nurse Jane who
was standing in the doorway.
well it's lucky the children had
eaten all the pudding before I broke
the dish" said Uncle Wiggily.
Eyes, but what about the broken
dish" asked Nurse Jane.
I'll mend it for you'll" whispered
Uncle Wiggily. Don't tell any one
but I know a secret way to mend
broken dishes"
And how he did it and what hap
pened I'll tell you in the next story
which will be about Uncle Wiggily
mending the dish. And I hope the
| wheel of the automobile doesn't run
over the tail of the little pig and
make him squeal.

Repeal has removed whatever glamor

HEROES JUST THE SANE

We venture the opinion that many
share with us the belief that the story in
last nights Press about DR.. NJ. Medd and
his nurse, Miss E. King, who braved the
rigors of the far north to aid group of
children threatened by diphtheria, was
real story
The courageous pair travelled so miles
through biting cold and snow with toxoid
to immunize so youngsters who were en-
posed to the disease. Two of the young
sters died before medical help reached
them. Thanks to the heroic work of the
doctor and nurse, the others will prob
ably avoid the contagion.
There will be no medals or vaudeville
offers at high salary coming to the doc
tor and the nurse. They'll be forgotten
tomorrow except by the few whom they
helped. 1t is not likely that they We're
even paid for the risk they took. To
them it was merely something to be done
'in the line of duty.
That is what doctors and nurses every
where.are doing, and the rest of us take
it as matter of course. The beauty of
it is that they take it the same way.
