UNCLE WIGGILY AND
BOOTSIE'S FIRE

When Uncle Wiggily and Bootsie
the little boy rabbit, hoped into
the cave of the lightning bugs, as
1 told you in the story before this
one, at first they could see nothing.
1t was like going in movie theaS
ire from the bright sunlight when
the movie was all dark.
"Oh, I don't like it here" said
BootSie.
Don't be silly, there is nothing
to harm YOU" said his father. You
wanted flashlight and you are 60
ing to have one q
Bootsie had teased for flash
light such as his father kept on a
little table at the head of his bed
in order to see to get up in the
night when the bunny children
wanted drinks of water. Uncle Wig
gily had said that Bootsie couldn't
have a real flishlight such as are
bought in the store.
! But I'll make you flashlight,"
said Mr.. Longears. I'll put some
! lightning bugs in little, round,
glass bottle and the fireflies will
make jolly CLEANS for you like my
flashlight."
! Uncle Wiggily knew about the
cave where the fireflies lived and
now he and Bootsie were inside.

flashing their glowing bodies and
the cave was quite light now. The
fireflies crawled into the bottle
which Uncle Wiggily held and then
he corked them up, putting small
hole in the cork for air.
There is your flashlight, Boot
! sic" said Uncle Wiggily handing the
bottle to the little rabbit
How do I turn it on?" asked
Bootsie for, once they were inside
the bottle, the fireflies covered
their glowing bodies with their
wings and the bottle was dark.
Tap on the bottom of the bottle
when you want light" said the
chief. Then my bugs will glow
brightly" Bootsie did this and the
bugs in the bottle lighted up so it
was like a real flashlight. Then,
again, they covered their glowing
bodies with their wings and the bot
tie was dark.
But Just as when Uncle Wiggily
turned his flashlight on by press
ing the switch at the side, so Boot
sic could make his bottle light flash
by tapping on it. This reused the
! bugs from their sleep and they
made themselves bright.
THANK you, Daddicums, for max
| ing me this nice new flashlight,
said Bootsie to Uncle Wiggily as the
two rabbits hoped home.
You are welcome said Mr..
Longears.
When he went to bed, Bootsie put
the bottle of lightning bugs on a
table near him. But in the middle
of the night a funny thing hap
pened. All of sudden Bootsie awak-
ened. He reached out, picked up the
bottle and tapped it. The lightning
| bugs awakened and flashed their
| fire so the room was we'll lighted.
Just then Nurse Jane happened to
be passing in the hall, and seeing
the light in Bootsie's bed, she
squealed:
Fire! Fire, Fire! Bootsie has
been playing with matches and he
has set his bed on fire. Then Nurse
Jane ran to the bath room, filled
basin NTH water, threw it all over
Bootsie, his bed and his lightning
bug flashlight bottle.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily, when Bootsie shouted in sur
prise. Nurse Jane thought you were
on fire! How funny" Then Mrs.

to light up his bottle again and all

WATER HIDES
FIELD Of ORE

JOPLIN, Mo-, Aug. 10. WH-An
untold fortune in lead and zinc lies
beneath a lake in this tri-states
mining district.
In a heretofore abandoned area,
some three miles wide and 80 miles
long, is known to exist pay-ore
veins. This entire district is I'M
derlaid with an ocean of sheet
water at 10 feet, submerging the
veins.
This territory is being organized
into a drainage district, under a
new state law, and help may be
expected from the government and
state toward rehabilitation.
Covered now with huge chat
piles, miners shanties, deserted
buildings once used as stores, gam
bling and dance halls and saloons,
the district presents a sorry sight.
To dewater this area would be
huge undertaking. Some say it
would cost 100000, some estimate
several times that amount. The
United States is to be asked for
the loan of $150,000. Mining ex-
perts have assured landowners that
sum would be sufficient to get
water below the pay veins.
No doubt remains that pay ore
is in the field. Drilling machines
have been going over it, proving
up untouched veins, some of which
are hundred feet deep.

DON'T TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY

COMMENTS favorable and unfavor-
" able, have been heard frequently of
late on the various Aimee Dave" ar
ticles appearing in this and other papers.
Some of the commenterS admit they
get kick" out of reading the doings
of the famous pair. Others assert just
as strongly that the papers should print
nothing about them.
From a personal standpoint we
wouldn't object if another line was new
er printed about them. AT the same time
they are news. Undesirable news from
the angle of some; harmless hot-weath-
er reading from the viewpoint taken bv
others.
The style in which the various stories
are written up indicates the attitude of
news writers in general toward Aimee
and Dave. They are flippant, ironical-
ly humorous and every reporter, editor
and publisher who has to handle them,
recognizes them as so much more free
publicity for the evangelist and her con-
sort.
Why so much publicity is accorded
them is zone of those things" Our own
opinion is that they provide a chuckle
for those who write the stories, perhaps
more SO IMAM Tor those who have to read
them.
In these days when there are SO many
serious things absorbing the mind of the
news writer-the NRA, the sales tax, in
come tax, the Cuban situation, world
flights and what not-the fourth estate
ought to be permitted to have something
over which to chuckle.
It's members seem to have adopted
Aimee and Dave for that purpose. They
are sort of safety valve" to prevent
the writers from excessive brain fag.
We urge readers to accept the various
articles in the spirit in which they are
written. Don't take them too seriously
they are not meant to be, and at this
time of the year worrying over them is
likely to bring on prostration or some
thing worse.

WATCHING AUGUST Is

AUGUST 1S has been set by the Public
~ Works Administration as the date for
opponents of the plan to include the ALL
American canal in the public works pro-
gram to state their case.
Recent announcement by the secretary
of the interior that he had received 'nu-
merous" protests to the plan, caused
considerable discussion in Imperial Val
ley, which of course, is vitality interested
in the canal.
Commenting on the numerous pro-
tests, this column ventured the opinion
that Imperial Valley would like to know
who the protestants are and also en-
pressed doubt that any organized oppos-
ition to including the canal in the pro-
gram exists.
This latter opinion was borne out later
in a statement from Phil D. Swing, now
in Washington in behalf of the canal, in
which he named the Owners Security
Association" as the organization oppos-
ing inclusion.
The association has never come to our
notice before. We doubt if it has been
heard of previously in Imperial Valley.
If it has any membership here, it has
been more successful in keeping their
identity secret than other organizations
organized for similar purposes were.
The August Is hearing will give an
opportunity for opponents of the canal
inclusion to be smoked out They
will have to lay their cards on the table
and show themselves.
Swing will be in Washington at that
time and Imperial Valley can depend
upon him to combat the efforts of pro-
testants to convince the officials of the
Public Works Administration that in
clusion of the canal is not desirable.
Inclusion has been given the support
of the California legislature and of nu-
merous civic and municipal organizations
throughout the state and in other parts
of the west. Friends of the canal are
known-its enemies are not so we'll
known. August Is should clear up this
latter condition.

Famous London Palace

The old Georgian building known

site of the tilt yard of Whitehall pal
ace, which Henry VIII took from
Cardinal Wolsey upon the latter's
downfall. In this palace the great
Queen Elizabeth held her court In
front of 1t Charles I was beheaded,
and at Whitehall Charles II led his
merry life.
The Horse Guards building dates
back to the middle seventeen hun
dreds and is an excellent example OF
Georgian architecture. An archway
under the clock tower leads to an
open space facing st. James park.
Through this archway only the king
and few highly privileged persons
may drive.
The space beyond Is the scene OF
one of London's most gorgeous pag-
