HAPPY NEW YEAR

Little more than one full day remains
in 1888 and the world is preparing to
greet its successor with high hopes, as
it inevitably does when the new year rolls
around.
But there is a real reason for the hope
this year. During 1888 much has been
accomplished to bring the world out OF
the economic slough into which it found
cred in October 1929.
He is indeed blind or stubborn, prob
ably both, who cannot see improvement
in the condition of the country as COM
pared with December 1882.
The year has seen an immense effort
bv great nation to shake off the shackles
of dependency which grlpped 1t since
the stock market crash of 1929 and which
were the cause of most of its ills. True
enough there has been plenty of reason
for apprehension, but men let fear grip
them and render them almost incapable
of rising above their difficulties.
Hardly had 1888 gotten into its stride
when the national administration was
changed Coming into power with the
solid backing of the people, both polite
ally and psychologically, the new admin
istration was admirably equipped to cope
with the situation it confronted.
1t started out by closing every bank IN
the country for brief period. Far from
causing a stampede, this action seemed
to bring people to their senses and en-
abled them to get a grip upon them
selves With the reopening of the banks
confidence was restored.
In quick succession followed the organ
ization of other agencies for speeding up
economic recovery, and though they are
sarcastically referred to as alphabet
soup, few will challenge the statement
that the RFC, NRA, AAA, PWA, CWA
and all the rest of them, are largely re-
sponsible for the feeling of confidence
that engulfs the nation at this time.
They have stimulated industry, reduc-
ed unemployment, and encouraged buy
ing and selling which had been almost
dormant for the greater part of three
years.
Men who had been unable to work for
many months, now find themselves sup
piled with a job which at least offers
them a chance to support themselves and
their families. Merchants find their
stocks turning over again. Manufacture
ers are getting orders once more.
Confidence has displaced fear, and If
1888 accomplished nothing more than
this, it would be entitled to go down in
history as successful year. In the light
of its other achievements its success can
not be doubted.
AS 1884 approaches this feeling of con-
fidence grows stronger day by day. 1t is
the ammunition needed to win the battle
against depression. That the coming
year will see us triumph over the worst
of our troubles is hope that is we'll
founded.
As far as Imperial Valley is concerned,
it has no apologies to make for 1888 for
on the whole it Jared we'll during the

UNCLE wIGGuY's NEW YEARS

When Uncle Wiggily slid down
the stair banister railing in his
hollow stump bungalow one morn
ing he noticed that all the rooms
were strangely quiet. Usually, dur
ing the Christmas holidays vaca-
ton, the bunny rabbit boys and
girls and their friends, the Squir-
rels, dogs, pigs and ducks, were
playing around and making a great
deal of noise.
why is it so quiet, Nurse Jane?''
asked Mr. LongearS as he sat eat
ing his breakfast of carrot pancakes
with maple sugar sauce sprinkled
on the middle. II don t hear any
noise. -
"Oh. all the little bunnies are
over in the woods and fields hav-
ing coed times, said Nurse. They
are making noise enough, l am SURE,
but they are so far away you can t
hear them. They said they were
going to have fun for the last time
this year,
'What did they mean-the last
time, y said Uncle Wiggily. II hope
nothing is going to happen
"Oh, it IS just that the New Year
of 1884 will soon be here,n said
Nurse Jane. 1.-The children always
like to do something for the last
time in an old year you know-like
playing tag or standing on their
ears or something like that
"Oh, yes. I had almost forgot
ten, and yet I Shouldn' have. -

close enough to nibble him before
he knows or sees who 1 really am. -
So saying, the Bob Cat made him
self look as much as he could like
little boy, fresh and clean, who
was to pretend to be the New Year
of 1884 coming over the hill. But
the Bob Cat was a careless chap
and though he might have washed
his paws, face and ears in clean
snow, he didn I. He left them dir
ty.
Uncle Wiggily went to the top of
the hill. He looked far and long
and saw what he thought was the
New Year little boy coming along
Welcome! Welcome. 1934l''
greeted Mr.. Longears. But as the
Bob Cat, dressed like a little boy,
came closer, Uncle Wiggily saw that
his ears weren't clean, nor was his
face, nor were his paws. "Ha!' -
said the bunny, 1.-The New Year
should start clean and fresh. There
is some trick here >
And before the Bob Cat could
catch him, Uncle Wiggily ran down
the hill and safe into his bunga-
low.
Fooled againl' > snarled the Bad
Chap as he took off his costume
and skunk away through the woods.
Night came and in the middle of
the night, as the clock struck II,
the Old Year of 1888 slipped away
and the New Year of 1884 came in
its place. AS soon as the hands
touched II, Uncle Wiggily blew his
horn. And all over the world horns
blew. bells rang, music was played,
songs were sung and all who could
be were happy.
"Happy New Year to everybody''
wished Uncle Wiggily. And I wish
it also to every one. Happy New
Year for ever and ever. And in
1884 there will be some new stories
about Uncle Wiggily.

ODDS GROW
ON STANFORD
BY GEORGE ii. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

PASADENA, Dec. 80. - Word
that Stanford apparently will be at
full strength against Columbia at
Rose Bowl January l heightened
odds on the western eleven today.
Previously a two touchdown fav-
orite at even money. Stanford was
made a two touchdown favorite at
odds as high as to 5.
This was not entirely surprising
for most western critics, including
Howard Jones, coach of the South
ern California team that was de-
feated this season by Stanford, felt
that Stanford was three to four
touchdowns better than the eastern
eleven.
The critics, Jones included were
fearful, however that Stanford suf-
fered a psychological disadvantage
that might make the game much
closer and even offered Columbia
chance for victory.
1t was pointed out that Stanford
has been favored heavily since Col
lmbia was announced as the east
ern representative for the annual
Tournament of Roses intersectional
contest and that Columbia had been
a distinct underdog, its selection
even brought derisive stories from
some quarters.
The overconfidence that Stanford
| might have gained from this eXper-
ience would be fed rather than les
sened by the policy of Coach Tiny
Thornhill, who has permitted SUM-
dry and all citizens to watch the
Stanford drills here.
Crowd Sidelines
Sometimes. spectators have so
closely crowded the sidelines as to
interfere with Scrimmage plays and
Bill Corbus, All-American guard,
| Bob Grayson, triple threat fullback
Monk Moscrip, end, and other stars
have been the center of admirers on
the training field daily
Thornhill smilingly has waved
| aside well meaning critics who have
counselled that he should at least
make the practice sessions semi
private.
Thornhill gained definite assur-
ance today that Grayson, who has
been ailing with a cold, would be
ready for go minutes of football
Monday. His other casualties, Mos
Grip, Claude Galloway, tackle, and
Wes Muller, center, have returned
to the fold all ready to go.
Thornhill ordered a brief work
out this afternoon, the last before
his team trods on to historic Rose
Bowl at 2:15 Monday.
TUCSON. Ariz., Dec. 30. U.P)-
The Columbia Lions prepared to

"That's right, laughed Nurse
Jane.
Just then Mrs. LongearS, the rab-
bit lady. came into the room where
her husband was eating his break
fast. She seemed very quiet and
when Uncle Wiggily asked her why,
she said:
"Well, I am always a little sad
and quiet when an Old Year goes
away and a New Year comes to
take its place. That's what is soon
going to happen. We had some
troubles in 1888, but we also had
some fun. And we don't know
what 1884 is going to bring us.
"Oh, I'm sure it will bring us
lots of good times" spoke the rab-
bit gentleman. LAS soon as fin
ish breakfast I am going out to the
top of the hill and perhaps I can
see the New Year of 1884 coming

cording to the pictures the New

will be like a tired old man. OF

that IS the way it should be.
"I'll take a look, anyhow said
Mr.. LongearS.
Soon he had finished eating and
was on his way to the hill.

had been hiding under Uncle Wig
gily's window, which was open, ano

between the rabbit gentleman and
