to throw at the Fox, Wolf or Bob
Cat if either Of those creatures
should try TO nibble him.
But all at once a happy smile
came over Uncle Wiggily's face and
even made his pink nose twinkle,
for he heard a voice calling:
Hello, Unkie Wig? Where are
you?"
Here I am, Baby Bunty,' an
swered the rabbit gentleman, very
glad to hear the jolly voice of the
little orphan rabbit and not the
growing voice of any Of the Bad
Chaps. Come in. Bunty!"
I'm comlng!" said Bunty and
she pushed open the door. It was
the noise of Bunty hopping up the
steps that Uncle Wiggily had heard
You are home IRON school early
aren't you, Bunty?" asked Mr.. Long
ears as he picked up the packet of
little black petunia seeds from the
floor.
Eyes, Unkie Wig" said the little
orphan rabbit. IT'S going to rain
so the Lady Mouse Teacher let us
out early and we all ran home.
What you doing, Unkie Wig?" Bun
ty asked, seeing the seed packets.
Il am going to plant these seeds
and make a flower garden, Bunty,"
said Mr.. Longears. You are just
in time to help me. for I want to
put the seeds i'll the earth and
cover them before the rain comes.
The warm April rain will make the
seeds sprout quickly, so we shall
soon have May flowers"
What kind of flowers are you go
ing to plant, Unkie Wig?" asked
Bunty, using just those two words
of baby talk-"Unkie Wig"-all she
was allowed.
oh, I am going to plant Lady
Slippers, Bachelors Buttons, Pop
pies, Balloon Vines, Corn Flowers
and Castor Oil Beans" said the
bunny gentleman pointing to the
different seed packets.

like it" said Baby Bunty, making
a sort of wrinkled face like an old
apple that has slept down cellar ali

a laugh. But in case you or any

BACK-ALLEY POLITICS

limited PRESS dispatches from Pasa-
dena yesterday advised of the pres
ence of a delegation of six Imperial Val
ley men there, bent on mission which
must be repulsive to all fair-minded
resent the back-alley methods now being
used in Imperial Valley politics.
The delegation was seeking to have a
felony charge drawn against Senator
Ben Hulse, who represents Imperial
county in the state senate, to which he
was elected last November by an over
whelming majority
Hulse is charged with two misde-
meanors IN connection with a traffic ac-
cident in which he was involved at Pas
adena while enroute to the state legis-
lature in January. Trial has been set
for May at which time the senator will
appear to answer the charges against
him.
Whether Senator Hulse is guilty or
not, is matter for the courts to decide.
Legally he is innocent until proved guilty.
Fair-minded persons will at least con-
cede this much.
The Press is not concerned with the
Pasadena affair, but is concerned with
the work of Senator HulSe at Sacra-
mento. The former is matter to be
handled by the authorities of Pasadena
or Los Angeles county, the same as
would be the case with any other citi-
zen. The latter is of vital Importance
to the welfare of Imperial county.
But were Senator Hulse guilty be-
yond any doubt whatsoever, it would still
be reprehensible for Imperial county cit
liens to 60 out of their way in an effort
to have more serious charges placed
against him.
What must the people of Pasadena
and of every other community through
out the state (for the newspaper dis
patches have been widely published)
think of US? What must be their idea
of community willing to go to such an
extreme as to expose the man they elect
ed to the Legislature to the possibility of
prison term, in order to ruin him po-
litically?
What do the people of Imperial Valley
think of such a thing? They elected
Ben Hulse to the senate. What right
has this delegation to seek the removal
from office of the man elected by the
people, for that was the sinister purpose
of its visit to Pasadena.
Hulse's enemies have seen their eff
forts to recall him fail to materiallze.
They then adopted the idea of running
him politically by attempting to have him
convicted of a felony, which would re-
move him from office.
The chief of police at Pasadena de-
clined to permit himself to be mixed up
in what he termed a political brawl"
and refused to issue felony complaint
He added that none of his officers could
conscientiously swear to a felony COM
plant against Senator Hulse."
The district attorneys office Of Los
Angeles county stated that neither of the
two parties with which Hulses car col
lided, would swear to a felony complaint.
The delegation sought felony war
rant, not because Hulse was involved IN
an auto accident but to ruin him politi-
cally because he has been fearless
enough to introduce at Sacramento, leg
islation designed to have the affairs OF
the Imperial Irrigation District conduct
ed on business basis and not as po-
litical machine wasting public money.
We believe the people of Imperial

HELL AND MARIA

AN INDICATION that the country is
n returning to the long-sought condi-
ton Of normally is shown in the remarks
made at Chicago yesterday by General
Charles G. Dawes, former viee-president
and prominent banker of the "Windy
City,.
The general, known for his picturesque,
not to say sulphurouS conversation. has
not had an opportunity to do his Hell
and Maria" stuff in many a MOON
Yesterday several thousand unpaid
Chicago school teachers demanding some
measure of relief after going 10 months
without salary, paid call on the gener-
al, thinking that perhaps he might be
willing to share some Of the 100000
he got for his bank from the r. F. c.,
just before he resigned as chairman of
that organization.
The teachers were given none of the
money but they did get sample of the
generals Vocabulary. You'd be
damned sight better off if you had your
electricity turned off," he stated when
told one teachers electricity had been
turned off while in Washington seeking
federal action on the salary problem
When the heckling from the teachers
became too much for the general, he ex-
ploued WITH 10 nell with trouble max
ers."
1t may not have been a very dignified
performance for a man who has held
such high office as General Dawes has,
but the public at large can take it as
sign that we are rapidly returning to the
good old days that used to be.

FrayHas Fans
On Edge

A capacity house is expected at
Portner's Arena. the first of the
season, tomorrow night where
Pete Sanstol, Norwegian bantam
champion, and Jimmy Mack,
Philadelphia Irisher, wing punches
in the eight-round windup.
Jimmy is slated to arrive here
tonight with his handlers, Johnny
Lotus, Eddie Burns, and Joe
Ferguson. Mack will take his last
workout this afternoon at Max
Hoff's gym in the Quaker City.
Not since Billy Landers boxed
frankie De Angelo, at Fort Wash
ington several seasons back, has
a banJamweIgnG match a6Urzcvrd
such attention.
Willingness to Mix
Sanstols high ranking in the
1l8-pound class, his willing to
mix and Mack's terrific punching
powers and ability to take punish
ment has the fans guessing on
the outcome of the fray.
Off his record, Mack has a
great chance to come down the
stretch with a victory tucked un-
der his arm. When he put Benny
Schwartz on the floor in VIII
mington, Del, for nine, he accom-
pliShed something the Norwegian
could not do. Then Jimmy's VIC
tory last week over the clever
Matty White boosted his stock an
other notch or two.
Bitter Tiff
Whatever the outcome Of the
battle tomorrow night, the local
bugs are certain to see a bitterly
waged tiff, between two little fel'
lows who know not the meaning
of the words:
'Back up"
Joe CLANCY and Lloyd Phelps

The most attractive preliminary
is the meeting between Izzy Cap

Four-round battles bring to-
gether Izzy Raines VS.. Whitley
