 From the first number on the entirely juvenile program to the last dish of ice cream the evening was complete success from the standpoint of both children and adults. There was a beautifully decorated tree, rear the improvised stage and at the end of the pro- gram Santa Claus, gaily dressed in red with huge pack on his back, fairly ran into the auditorium and iovially greeted each child as he distributed the gifts.

SONS before the berries came" said
Uncle Wiggily, sort of talking to
himself. Mother used to dry the
blossoms and make elderberry tea,
though what it was good for I don't
remember
AS he sat looking at the elder
bush he remembered something else
he had done when he was boy
rabbit.
Il used to make popguns of q
stalk of elderberry bush," said Un-
Gle Wiggily. What fun used to
have with those popguns! wonder
if could make one now?"
He took out his knife, cut an ell
derberry bush stalk about as large
around as his thumb and trimmed
it, peeling off the bark. Inside the
stalk was filling of white stuff
called pith. 1t was soft and could
be easily pushed out with thin
stick.
When Uncle Wiggily had done
this he had a hollow elderberry
stalk just like part of popgun.
Next I need a plunger or stick
to push into the hollow tube to
make the cork pop out. Then I'll
have popgun," said the rabbit.
He cut another stick which he
whitfield very carefully until it fit
ted snug and tight into the hol-
low elder stalk. When this stick
was moved up and down it made a
kissing sound because of the air
that was drawn in and pushed out
of the tube.
Nov, all need is a cork to close
one end of my gum said Uncle
Wiggily. "Then, when I stick the
cork in, pull back on the stick and
suddenly push it, out will shoot the
cork and I'll have my popgun, .
thought the rabbit gentleman.
He found a cork in his pocket,
stuck it in one end of the hollow
elderbush stalk and was ready to
shoot his new popglin, when, all of
a sudden, he heard noise in the
bushes.

FLAG ETIQUETTE

DECENT incidents in connection with
n display of the flag on Memorial day
and the approach of Flag day on June
IA, have called attention to the need of
better knowledge of the rules of eti-
quette concerning the national colors.
The rules given here, supplied by
Boyce Aten Post Of the American Leg
ion, are taken from the flag code as
adopted by the national Americanism
committee of the Legion, and approved
by congress. 1t is suggested that the
rules be cut out and placed where they
can be found when it becomes necessary
to display the flag, so that it can be
shown the proper respect.
l. Do not permit disrespect to be
shown the flag of the United States of
America.
2 Do not dip the flag of the United
States of America to any person or any
thing. The regimental color, state flag,
organization or institutional flag will
render this honor.
3. Do not display the flag with the
union down except as a signal of distress.
a. Do not place any other flag or pen
nant above, or if on the same level, to
the right of the flag of the United States
of America.
5. Do not let the flag touch the ground
or trail in the water.
6. Do not place any object or emblem
of any kind on or above the flag OF the
United States of America.
z. Do not use the flag as drapery IN
any form whatsoever. Use bunting of
blue, red and white
8. Do not use the flag to cover a ros-
trum for the purpose of placing the
Bible upon it.
g. Do not fasten the flag over the
hood, top, sides or back of vehicle or
of railway train or boat. When the
flag is displayed on motor car, the
staff should be affixed to the chassis or
clamped to the radiator cap.
10. Do not display the flag on.a float
in a parade except from a staff.
II. Do not use the flag as a covering
for a ceiling.
r. Do not carry the flag flat or hor-
izontally, but always aloft and free.
13. Do not use the flag as a portion
of a costume of an athletic uniform. Do
not embroider it upon cushions or hand
kerchiefs nor print it on paper napkins
or boxes.
IA. Do not put lettering of any kind
upon the flag.
Is. Do not use the flag in any form
of advertising nor fasten an advertising
sign to a pole from which the flag is
flown.
16 Do not display, use or store the
flag in such manner as will permit 1t
to be easily soiled or damaged.

take congress with it.

BUSINESS MAP
SHOWS VALLEY
GOOD SPOT

Business conditions in 81 Gen.
tro reflect the trend throughout the
United States, according to COM
parison made with the report of
the La Sale Business Bulletin by
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce. Imperial Valley remains a
good" business spot as compared
with the country as a whole on the
La Sale map and additional good"
spots have appeared north of Des
Moines and Omaha, with scattered
sections of the south and the city
of Seattle, Wash, showing improve
ment.
The bulletin states that trade i'm
provement began to manifest itself
quite generally beginning the last
week in April. Retail sales were
better than during the correspond
ing period in both dollars and VOL
ume. Commodity shipments exceed
those of years ago and industrial
employment has more than made
up the loss sustained during the
bank holiday.
In Ell Centro, merchants in many
cases report a gain in business dur
ing May 1888 over May 1882, the
first increase over a preceding year
for three years. Cash sales are
greater than in former years and
there is a general indication of
more money in circulation. AL
though a definite increase in busi-
ness cannot be expected locally
during the summer months, the
chamber of commerce staff notes a
feeling throughout the business
houses that next fall will see the
improvement which has been await
ed for the past three or four years
in Imperial Valley.
The La Sale bulletin reports in
creasing commodity prices with
gains in the operating schedules of
rubber, shoes, foods and fruit pack
ing, radio and furniture industries.

The record of business failures
during April throughout the coun-
try continuesto show marked i'm
provement, the chamber staff notes,
being lower than any time since.
The number of failures for April,
1893 was approximately 80 per cent
less than for April 1882. Nearly two
thirds of these were in the retail
trade, while a year ago the major
ity were in the manufacturing
trade.

CHTC CALLS YOUTH

THAT all youths are not solely concern
ed with wearing odd clothes, learning
the latest jazz and confining their rec
reation to fast driving in dilapidated
cars, Is proven by the list of youngsters
going to the Citizens Military Training
Camps, from Imperial Valley.
Without any publicity and with no at
tempt being made to coeree the young
sters, the county's quota of 80 was not
only filled, but 45 more young men, an
xious to go to the camp were unable to
do so because there was no room for
them there.
Those of the older generation who are
inclined to scott at the youngsters of to-
day, need not fear that all are "irrespon-
sibles' because a few may be that way
Attendance at the training camps can
hardly be classed as lark. Those in
command at the camps are hard-boiled
regular army men who know their bus
mess and who give the youngsters
splendid lesson in obedience and dlsci-
pline.
Anxious mothers should not fear the
term "hard-boiled", for there is nothing
physical intended in the use of the
phrase But anyone who has heard
regular army sergeant in verbal action
knows that he can peel the hide off
fellow, and the fellow is better man
for it if he can stand up under it. He'll
tell the sergeant SO, eventually, if he has
the right stuff in him.
There is plenty of opportunity for
recreation at the camps, but their bus
mess primarily is to instill something OF
military knowledge and military essen
tials into the youngsters. The army men
see that this part of the job is done and
that the recreation angle is not over
looked.
Every youngster from Imperial Valley
who has gone to the camps in previous
years, is booster for them in big way.
Many of them got their clustering too,
from the sergeants and are better for 1t.
1t is to be regretted that every young
ster who wants to go to camp, and who
is eligible for it, cannot be taken. I'm
fortunately the need of economy in the
government has cut into the CM1lC ap-
preparation. Perhaps some day the ap-
preparation will be as large as it should
be-sufficient to take care of all who
wish to go.
