this morning by sponsors of the Mainc contest.
 The Naples Lighthouse is new building erected last June. This attractive frame and stucco struc- ture Is not only pleasing in it's unique design and extremely well kept, but the land on which it was located was made by the filling of an unsightly swamp hole just west of a drawbridge, thus converting a detriment to the neighborhood into a handsome useful piece of property. This was considered in the selection of winners by the judges.
 All over the state considerable interest had been manifested in the contest and the spirit of commend- able rivalry thus fostered should prove of service to Maine as well as to the individuals and organiza- tions involved. Another contest of similar lines will be conducted in the near future.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SINGING

Ding dong! Ding dongl Ding

over the field and through the
woods.
"Ch, dear!' sighed Baby Bunty

rabbit children. "Oh, dear!"
THANK gooduess!" signed Mrs.
Longears and Nurse Jane. School

And perhaps I shall have some
new adventures spoke Uncle Wig

nose twinkling like snow under an
electric light.

At first the bunny rabbit child
ren felt sad because they must
leave their play which they had
enjoyed all during the Summer
vacation and go back to school.

some fun in school," said Buster.

Then she and Nurse Jane did their

, When he was in front of it he
heard Miss Mouse say:
Nov, children, we shall sing our
morning song. I hope you haven't
forgotten how to sing during the
Summer vacation. All ready"
But when the animals boys and
girls tried to sing their morning
school song, they had, indeed, for
gotten all about it. The rabbits
sang one way, tne puppy dog pupils
! howled another way and the kittie
cats mewed still another way so
! it sounded like static on the ra-

"Oh. dearl Oh, dear! Stop, Stop

THAT is dreadful! 1t isn't singing

ever knew about music! What shall

Just then she looked out of the
window and saw Uncle Wiggily in
the school yard.
Perhaps he can start the song

Miss Mouse. But can you sing?"
"Of course I can sing" said Un-

"SCHOOL DAYS"

While the school bell will not ring un-
til Monday morning, it is appropriate at
this time to express pleasure at the ap-
proach of valley activity that is always
anticipated with interest by all-the re-
sumption of the school year.
Not only does it mark the return of
students to classrooms and their books
but it means the resumption of the val
ley'S active year.
Residents who have been away on vaca-
ton return at this time; those of us who
remain here during the summer discard
the lethargy and procrastination inspired
by the summer months, and experience
revival of the pep" that is an American
characteristic.
Fortunate indeed are the youngsters
who will answer Monday mornings bell,
and they are envied indeed by those whose
school days are behind. These latter no
tice a change on the part of pupils toward
the reopening of the school year. Where
as, in their own day, the weeks prior to
the opening of school were spent in pray
er for the school to burn down, the mod
ern youngster is anxious to get back to
the routine of "books and pedagogue,
largely because the institutions of today
are minus Washington's 1rving's famous
birch which rounded out the trio made
immortal in the Legend of Sleepy Hol-
low"
Our schools have advanced in step
with so many other phases of American
life. There is no comparison between
them and the schools of two or three de-
cades ago, and even further back, insofar
as consideration and encouragement OF
the students educational progress is con-
cerned.
There was time when the Three
RS" were drilled into little skulls with
liberal assistance from the birch or
the palm of the teachers hand. These
days have passed into the discard. The
schools of today encourage the pupil to
apply himself voluntarily to his studies
and make the latter attractive so that the
dull routine of learning is as passe as the
birch.
Ell Centro has every reason to be proud
of its schools and with those in charge
of them, and equally proud of the young
sters who attend them. They are fine
combination and the city should, and un-
doubtedly will be glad to have them back
in activity again.

and the objection raised against such ac-
tion is so feeble and ill-founded, that the
advisability of inclusion must be as ap-

canals strongest supporter.
The administration urges, and rightly
so, that the nation must support the NRA.
The administration itself will be giving

CANAL BUILDING WOULD MAKE JOBS

Secretary Ickes, who is national ad-
ministrator of public works, has been
quoted by the Associated Press as being
irked by the slowness in which some of
the non-federal projects have been pre-
sented for consideration of his depart
ment. The secretary is also declared to
have said that he is anxious to make the
ALLEGATIONS of federal funds, so that jobs
may be given to the unemployed before
winter sets in.
No doubt he is carrying out the wishes
of President Roosevelt when he makes
this statement. The President has said
he wants to see the ranks of the unem-
ployed depleted just as much as possible
before winter comes and has also urged
speed in placing his public works pro-
gram into operation.
Along that line of reasoning, there
should be no further delay in announcing
inclusion of the All-American canal. If
every good reason why the canal should
be built at once were cast aside except
one - that one should be sufficient
grounds for ALLEGATION of federal funds
for its construction.
To take the canal out of Mexico is
enough. 1t seems preposterous that wat
er to irrigate American farms = water
that originates in American territory
must be conveyed through a foreign
land before it can be used on American
land. So long as this condition is allow
ed to exist, there will be danger of in
xernational complications with increas-
ing demands for the Colorado flow below
the border.
Powerful selfish interests have contin-
M oShi n n0fn
against the canal and they are using 1t
now.
Tho administration authorities must
know this by this time and this tact
should have distinct bearing on the Sit
uation.
Work for six thousand persons Will
soon be made available on the All-Amerl-
can canal after administration approval
of the $33, 100000 project.-The Braw-
ley News.
The Press concurs fully with the stand
taken by the Brawley News with the pos
sible exception that we would emphasize
the necessity of putting men to work as
being almost equally necessary to getting
Imperial Valleys water supply out OF
Mexico
There are several thousand bona flde
Imperial Valley residents who are badly
in need of work. The report of the I'M
perial county relief commission. publish
ed in yesterdays issue, is proof OF that,
and construction of the canal would pro-
vide it for them.
The purpose of the NRA is to put men
to work and it is making good progress.
In fact, it is far ahead Of the govern
ment's public works program, which has
the same objective-putting men to work.
Yesterday congressman in the Los An
geles area joined with Senator McAdoo,
in urging speed by Secretary lckes in
granting funds for the construction of the
Metropolitan aqueduct. This project, of
vital importance to the metropolitan area,
is no more essential to them than the ALL
America canal is to Imperial Valley
The Los Angeles plea is based entirely
on the necessity of providing more jobs.
The same line of argument applies equal
ly well to the need for getting started at
work on the canal.
The argument for inclusion of the canal
in the public works program are so sound,
