Oh, is he here after me agaip?"
mumbled the little worm boy down
in the hole.
HAS Charlie Chick, the rooster
boy, been after you?" asked Mr..
Longears, twinkling his pink nose
and thinking that perhaps he had
found an adventure.
Has hep" exclaimed the worm.
WHY, every morning, bright and
early, Charlie comes along crow
ing and scratching and trying to
catch me as soon as pop my head
out of the hole. I'm the early worm,
you know, and 1 guess Charlie
thinks he's the early bird He's al
ways after me and when you came
along though you were Charlie, SO
down I popped into my hole"
was Charlie trying to catch you
this morning?" asked the rabbit
gentleman.
Bright and early said the worm
"Huml" said Uncle Wiggily, slow
and thoughtful like. "I'll find that
rooster boy and talk to him. I'll
ask him to let you alone"
IF you will please be so kind"
spoke the worm, poking his head
up little way out of the hole, for
he knew he had nothing to fear
from Uncle Wiggily. IF you will
please ask Charlie to stop trying to
catch me every morning when I
pop out of my hole to take walk,
1 win be very happy"
"Ill do it." said Mr. Longears.
Leaving the worm, whose name
was Willie, to pop in and out of
the ohle in the ground and crawl
about bit. Uncle Wiggily hoped
away to find Charlie the rooster
boy. Mr.. Longears did not have far
to look, for he found Charlie run

Hello Uncle Wiggilyl" crowed
Charlie. "Are you going TO school?"

BEATING BACK

TWO ITEMS in the news of Saturday
are of vital Importance to every cit
izen of the United States, even though
as individuals neither incident may
directly concern them
The first is the Forthcoming confer
ence of world leaders at Washington to
discuss methods for economic recovery.
The second is the renewed activity re-
ported in the automobile industry
President Roosevelt has invited the.
premiers of all the large powers, except
Russia, to assemble in Washington to
discuss trade matters and unite in an
effort to bring about economic stability
He will submit an American Plan"
for the consideration of the world
which will include tariff read djustment
designed to break down the barriers that
have blockaded many markets, crippling
shipping and manufacturing.
The Washington meeting is a prelim-
mary to the world conference scheduled
for London this summer. 1t is hoped
that many of the problems in which all
nations are interested, can be brought
out in discussion and plans formulated
for consideration prior to the London
conference so that definite action can be
taken at the latter.
Economic difficulties are not confined
to any one nation of the world. They
affect each nation individually and col
lectively. AS such they are timely
topic for general discussion and action.
There is little need to comment on the
benefits of increased business in the
automobile industry. If it meant only
more automobiles, this alone would be
something calling for cheers. But the
list of industries benefiting by renew
ed activity in automobile circles is long
one and it is certain to be felt through
out the nation, even to the smallest cross
roads store with gasoline pump and
few spark plugs.
We are gradually coming back and
with patience and industry we'll get
there.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
CHARLES WORM

Once upon a time, when Uncle
Wiggily was hopping across the
fields looking for an adventure, he
saw a little hole in the ground. In
the hole was a little worm boy
sticking his head UP and looking
around very carefully.
"Oh! OH" said the little worm
boy as he caught sight of the rab-
bit gentleman. "Oh, me! Oh, my!"
and down into the hole popped the
worm like a Jack in the Box COM
ing up.
whats the matter?" asked Un-
Gle Wiggily. You aren't afraid of
me, I hope, little worm"
"Are you Charlie?" asked the
worm, still keeping down inside the
hole.
mo. my name is Uncle Wiggily," !"
said the rabbit. "But know roos-
ter boy named Charlie"
That's the one! That's the one!

CLASSIFICATION DESIRABLE

CENATE BILL NO. Oil, introduced
by Senator Ben Hulse, comes up for
hearing at Sacramento tomorrow be-
fore the senate committee on irrigation
This bill provides for the classified
tion of irrigation districts throughout
the state as counties and cities are class
flied. However, where these political
subdivisions are classified on a basis cf
population, the irrigation districts would
be classified on a basis of acreage.
All dist is having an acreage of 500,-
600 or mo would be in the first class.
Second class would include districts be-
tween 325,0OO and 100000; third, those
between 250,000 and 325,000; fourth
those between $4,000 and 325,000; fifth,
those between 100000 and $4,000;
sixth, those having an acreage of 100,-
600 acres or less.
An irrigation district is to all intents
and purposes, a political subdivision.
Laws and regulations which apply to
one are found unnecessary, unwieldy or
inefficient when applied to another, the
same as is the case with laws and reg
ulations applying to cities and to coun-
ties.
If, for example. Imperial Irrigation
District requires or desires certain leg
1SkdblOu, WIllCU ullSHl uOl DC 1C4uh GU
or desired by other districts, it could be
denied the local district, even though it
would be beneficial to it, if the legisla-
tion was not applicable to some of the
other and smaller districts throughout
the state.
To the layman it would appear that
if classification is deemed essential for
cities and counties, and apparently it is,
it should also be essential for irrigation
districts
Objections voiced against the bill state
that it would lessen the political power
of the Imperial Irrigation District, the
largest in the state 1t is hard to see how
this would be true, either in the associ-
alton of irrigation districts or in the
legislature. In fact the position of the
district, in obtaining desirable legisla-
tion at Sacramento would seem to be
greatly strengthened by classification,
for it would not be hamstrung in its ef-
forts to obtain such legislation by hav-
ing to consider what bearing it would
have on every other district in the state.
The bill is one of several constructive
measures introduced by Senator Hulse
for bringing about needed reforms that
will be of benefit to the Imperial county
taxpayer.

The regulations this year specify
that only those VINO cannot get
loans elsewhere are eligible for loans
from the S9O,0O0,0oO fund authorized
by Congress. Loans can be used only
for crop production, and require the
borrower to reduce his acreage of
cash crops 80 per cent under last
year, unless he does not intend to
plant more than eight acres of cot
ton, PIE acres of tobacco, acres of
peanuts, 20 acres of corn, Il acres
of sugar beets, s21a acres of truck
crops, acres of potatoes, 80 acres
of rice, or 40 acres of wheat.
The maximum permitted to any
one borrower this yeargisg S300sn OF,
in case Of tenants, the total of all
loans to tenants of any one landlord
within a single county cannot exceed
$1,000. The actual amount advanced
by the authorities will depend upon
the borrowers requirements. A first
lien or mortgage on the crop will be
required. The regulations require
that loans be repaid on or before
October 81, 1888. Interest at So
per cent, deducted in advance, will
be charged.
Since the loans call for a first lien
on the crop as security, the borrower
frequently has to produce waivers
from prior mortgages or rights Ii
the applicant is tenant, or is farm
ing land under contract for deed or
so-called crop contract, or has given
a prior mortgage on his 1888 crops,
the regulations state he must secure
waivers of the actual owners of the
land, and or all prior mortgage hold
ers. If the applicant is the owner OF
the land and farms it with tenants
or share croppers, waivers OF such
tenants or share croppers must be Sc
cured. The regulations further spec
ify that the person waiving his prior
rights must agree not to dispose OF
his rent note, mortgage, or other Sc
curity without first having obtained
the written consent of duly author
lied agent of the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
The regulations make it unlawful
for any person to dispose of or as
sist in disposing of any crops given
as securi tysfor any crop loans, ex-
.cept for the account of the Secretary
of Agriculture and provide for fine
and Imprisonment for violation OF
such regulation. The regulations also
REQUIRE that each borrower agree 70
nlant a garden for his home use ana
sufficient acreage to furnish iced Tor
his livestock.

Madison County

Madison county was created by act
Of Legislature bearing the date of
February 16, 1910, and was organized
Immediately. James Madison was
then in the first year of his admins
tration and his fame had not yet suf-
fered loss by the weakness he display
ed in the opening of the War of 1872;
hence his name was taken for the new
county.
London was laid out to be the coun-
ty seat the next year by Patrick Nc
Lene but he acted under the orders of
the board of county commissioners. He
probably gave the town its name,
choosing London for no other reason
than that it was the name of one of
the great cities of the world.
Madison county has been known
from the beginning as distinctly ag-
ricultural county, outstanding in the
state. It's great farms produce corn,
pork and beef. One of the first white
men to live in the county was Jona-
than Alder, whose history of capture
by the Indians has been recounted be-
fore. Settlers deluded by the lack of
trees on the plains, early named the
region "the barrens" The region has
long since proved to be otherwise

Paying School
t,,.a Taxes Not Only
Duty To Youth

Paying school taxes and voting fit
men to the school board, are not the
only responsibilities of good citizens
to the youth of the country, says
Farnsworth Crowder, former Colorado
and California school official.
Its something to make man sober
to read about the thousands and thou
sands of jobless boys roaming this
country at the present moment" he
writes in the Rotarian magazine "And
again to read that the largest criminal
age group last year was that falling
between eighteen and nineteen"
The special significance of these re-
marks at this time of year is pointed
out by the editors of the Rotarian.
With National Youth Week coming
shortly, April 29 to May 6, inclusive,
service clubs and other organizations
are now turning special attention to
the problems confronting the boys and
girls of the country as to their leis-
ure, school and occupational life.

Nothing Can Hold Back the Dawn
By COL FRANK KNOX Publisher Of the Chicago Daily News

come back so quickly that we forget
the real heroes. May I recommend
that the following be cited for brav-
cry in action:
The man who, in spite of his lost
job and his. lost hopes, managed
somehow to keep his family fed.
The wife who went through it all,
sincomplaining and smiling.
The merchant who, in spite Of the
rush to the store across the street,
refused to cut the quality, preferring
to die by his standard rather than to
desecrate it.
The manufactures who kept the
shoddy out of his product.
The dairyman who didn't water the
milk. ~
| The man who, in spite of advice,
kept his assets in his own name.
The cop who shot it out with
armed bandits and took his share
Of lead at the few dollars month
that he didn't get.
The landlord who wasn't overly
squeamish about the rent.
The banker who protected his de-
positors. ''''' 't~'''
And last, but most noteworthy of
all, the good citizen, of any land
whatsoever, who kept his faith in
God and country.
The night has been long; but the
never-ending cycle of night into day
still persists and now-nothing can
hold back the dawn.-Reprinted from

leadership of President Roosevelt will
solve our problems.
"The adrance will be gradual, but it
will be certain if we all settle down
to the conviction that the reconstruc-
tion job is the job of everyone en-
gagged in business, n agriculture, in
government and in promoting the COM
mon veal. The biggest task immedi-
ately ahead is the restoration of mil
lions to employment. That can be ex-
pedited by patriotic participation in
the purposes of the administration by
the millions of employees and employ
ers still in position to lend a help
ing hand"
The fourth week of recovery saw the
national spirit reaching new heights Of
confidence as President Roosevelt con-
tinued to unfold his far-fung pro-
gram. Behind him were the emergen-
cy banking legislation, the drastic cur
tailment of expenditures made poss-
ible by his economy bill, the redemp-
tion of his pledge to modify the Vol
stead Act to permit the resumption of
a huge industry and to increase rev.
enues through a beverage tax.
Ahead of him were the development
of the farm relief plans embodied in
his agricultural bill and the execution
of the projects presented in his emer-
gency public work measure to provide
employment for quarter of a million
men.
And just beyond these were the rec
concentrations he has prepared to sub
NIT to congress covering these sub
jects:
| Refinancing of mortgages against
farmers and small home owners. Reg
ulation of stock exchanges.
Reorganization of transportation
system management. =
Utilization of Muscle Shoals.
Revision of tariff policies.
These major matters are to be dis
posed of before congress, which has
sensed the demand of the folks back
home for quick, decisive action, takes
a recess from its labors. And veteran
observers point out that the folks back
home can contribute to the speedy con-
summation of the program by letting
their congressman and senators know
that they appreciate the support they
have given to the presidents leader
ship and count upon continuance OF
that support.
