a seating capacity of 1000. A small
gallery is in the rear. Along each
side wall light oak panels run half
way up. The light walls above are
broken by doors which open into
corridors outside Small grillwork
makes a tiny balcony at each door.
The platform seats more than

With pointed stones he and the
bear punched holes in the bottom
of the big gasoline tin. The top was
cut out with a sharp stone SO water
could be poured in and theE M.
Stubtail fastened the empty tin on
a tree branch over Uncle Wiggily'o
head.
Mr.. Stubtail used strands from a
wild grapevine as ropes with which
this he starte dto climb the tree.
"All ready now, Mr.. Longearsl"
called the jolly old bear with a
laugh Stand under your shower
bath. Soon the water will trickle out
of the holes and you'll get all wet. E"
And very glad 1 shall be of it, =
spoke Uncle Wiggily. I'm hotter
than ever with the work we did
making this shower bath"
You'll soon be COOL" said the
bear Get ready!"
Uncle Wiggily took his place I'M
der the can, which, as yet had no
water in it. Mr. Stubtail picked up
the smaller can and Waddled to the
brook to fill it. When he had done
this he started to climb hte tree.
AL ready, Wig?" the bear called
down to the bunny.
AL ready, Stub" answered I'm
Gle Wiggily.
"Splish! Splash! Splosh!" came
the water, dribbling down through
the holes in the big tin can up in
the tree. 1t made cool sound and
formed muddy little puddles on the
ground Uncle Wiggily stood in the
midst of the shower getting all wet.
How do you like it, Wig?" roar
ed Mr.. Stubtail as he poured the
last Of the water from the small
can and got ready to climb down
for more. How do you like it?"
Uncle Wiggily did not answer.
Hi! Is anything the matter?"
asked Mr.. Stubtail, anxiously. why
don't you answer me, Wig?"
"Blub Wub! Dub Subj stam-

for a moment. I'm all right now!
It's fine! Wet me some more!" So
Mr.. Stubtail got more water from
the brook and Uncle Wiggily was
getting soaking wet and cool when,
all of a sudden, something hap
pened. I'll tell you about it tomor-

United States Bureau Of Standards,
with the Iowa State College engi-
neering experiment station here,
has launched the beginning of an
intensive study of the production
of paper from cornstalks.
Conversion of this principal waste
on farms in Iowa and other mid
western states may III the future
provide agriculturists with an en-
tirely new cource of income, E. r..
Whittemore, assistant paper tech
nologiSt with the bureau of STAN
dardS, said.
Much of the laboratory work on
the experiments is to be conducted
at the bureau laboratory in Wash
ington, d. c., Whittemore said
The local experiment station will
provide the cornstalk pulp to the
Washington bureau, and for this
purpose, arrangements have been
completed for installation of a new
lO0-gallon digester machine.
After the cornstalkS have been
digeSted here, regular shipments
Of 500-pound patches of pulp will
be made to Washington.
Production of cornstalk paper
first was undertaken here in 1920
by DR.. o. r. Sweeny, head of the

UNCLE WIGGILY GETS WET

Stubtail. the jolly bear gentleman,
as he shuffled out of the bushes
and saw Mr.. Longears splashing
himself with water from the brook.
I'm glad to see you, too" spoke
the rabbit gentleman. For a mo-

Yes. I was doing that" said
Uncle Wiggily. Just before that I
watched the children splashing."

He led Uncle Wiggily to the bush
and behind it was a big, square
tin can that once had held gaso-

But it's all clean now explained
Mr. Stubtail. All we have to do is
to punch some holes, like those OF

there's your shower bath"
But doesn't a shower bath have
to be up in the air over your

know the water has to fall out of

POWER ON THE CANAL

'DY THE terms of the All-American
Dcanal contract, all power developed
on the canal belongs to the Imperial IT.
rigation District-hence to the people.
IN all considerations of the power
feature of the canal this fact should be
kept foremost-that the subject under
consideration is a valuable property be-
longing to the people and must remain
so forever or as long as power is pro-
duced.
"Many who have given thought to the
power development phase of the canal
believe that no definite action should be
taken on disposal of the canal power un-
til after an opinion has been expressed
by the people at a popular election. In
this way their rights would be amply
guarded. 1t is an idea which The Press
endorses"
The above paragraphs are excerpts
from an editorial appearing in The Press
of June g.
They are quoted today to compare
with paragraphs of a resolution offered
to the board of directors of the Imperial
Irrigation District yesterday by Director
Evan T. Hewes, and unanimously adopt
cd as the districts policy in dealing with
canal power
at is resolved that the district board
Of directors adopt policy of the district
developing the power generated on the
All-American canal project and distrib-
ute it to consumers within and adjacent
to the boundaries Of the district.
Thereafter the district is to seek the
best outside market for any surplus pow
er available on the project and sell it to
any and all bidders which return the
greatest revenue.
at is further resolved that in no event
shall any contract be made to dispose OF
power without first submitting the Ques-
lion to the electorate for approval
Readers will note the similarity be-
tween the Press editorial of June 9, and
the resolution adopted by the board yes
terday, particularly with reference to
power contracts being submitted to
popular election.
1t is gratifying indeed to note that the
boards action was unanimous on such an
important phase of the canal project as
the policy to be pursued with reference
to power. The directors are to be con-
graduated for the stand they have taken.

PROLONGING THE WAR

DUPLICATION of secret government
documents, revealing that the World
war might have been ended almost
year before the memorable November II,
Is certain to cause considerable discus
sion throughout the world.
That this discussion may take the form
of criticism toward the Allied leaders
Tor not making peace earlier, is almost
equally certain.
Hindsight being better than foresight,
such criticism will be easy to make but
is obviously unfair. The Allied leaders
were in the thick Of the war. They, bet
ter than anyone else, knew their own
condition and the condition of Germany.
Their decision had to be made right then,
and it had TO be based on the known facts
as they appeared to them
One of the reasons given for prolong-
ing the Wharf.-The rejection of President
Wilson's peace terms by Germany-was
sufficient justification for continuing hos
tilities. The Allied forces could not per-
nit peace to be made with Germany
playing even a minor role as dictator
The peace had to be negotiated on the
Allied terms.
If there was a difference of opinion
among the Allies on what the terms
should be, it was only what might be eX-
pected from several nations each having
conflicting views. It certainly would not
have been wise move to accept a peace
until their differences could be straight
ened out.
They were fighting a war and the only
course for them was to keep on fighting.
1t may seem like a harsh condition but
there is nothing about war that is not
harsh. There is nothing good about it,
not even victory.
1t is regrettable that peace could not
have come earlier but it is also regret
table that there had to be any war at all.
AS long as it had to come the Allied
leaders were justified in fighting it out
in their own way and in assuming the
responsibility for any developments it
produced.
