JOIN THE RED CROSS

Today marks the start of the annual
membership roll call of the local Red
Gross chapter, in cooperation with the
roll call of the American Red Cross, as
the national organization is known.
1t seems superfluous to comment on
the desirability of contributing to the
Red Cross, yet it actually is necessary,
for, despite the splendid record which
this organization has throughout a long.
period of years, there exists some oppo-
sition to it by those who must be wilfully
blind to its great work.
Californians have only to remember
back to last March when the earthquake
ravaged Long Beach and adjacent coast
areas. Numerous organizations came to
the aid of the stricken thousands, but 1t
was the American Red Cross which bore
the brunt of relief work.
Meme can say when a disaster will
strike or where it will strike. But when
il does, and wherever it does, the Red
Cross is the first in the field with relief
for those who need it.
Supposing some such disaster struck
here. We or ourselves could do very
little We would have to depend upon
outside aid, and our first cry would be
for the Red Cross The Red Cross would
answer too, not stopping to ask whether
or not this community had given it sup
port in the past. It would aid first and
ask questions later, if at all.
Locally the Red Cross during the past
year helped hundreds of needy persons
here in Imperial Valley. 1t has done so
for years without the cooperation to
which it is entitled being given by resi-
dents of this community.
The Red Cross does not ask much. The
annual membership requires only NOM
inal sum. One-half of this goes to help
maintain the national organization The
other half remains here.
From now until Thanksgiving the
membership roll call will be conducted
here. All of us will have a better and
more enjoyable Thanksgiving if we know
We have done our part by contributing
to the Red Cross, thereby helping the or
ganization which is the backbone of re-
lief work throughout the nation.
Forget your trouble. How would you
like to be Uncle Sam with debt of $685.
535,322,2 ,22G? Yep, that's billions, not
millions.

UNCLE WIGGILY SWEEPS THE
PORCH

One Saturday morning when
there was no school in Woodland.
near the Orange Ice Mountains,
where Uncle Wiggily lived in his
hollow stump bungalow, the rabbit
gentleman watched all his forty
'leven sixteen rabbit boys and girls
run out to play.
But I don't see Baby Bunty,"
Uncle Wiggily said. Il wonder if
anything could have happened to
my little orphan rabbit? She isn't
out playing with theo theirs, and.
as a rule, she is first to get up a
game of tag or hide and go seek"
Just as Uncle Wiggily was think
ing of hopping out of his room,
from the window of which he
watched the children at play, there
sounded knock on his door.
Come I'M" he called, we'll know
ing it could not be the Fox, the
Wolf or the Bob Cat, for they could
not pass Nurse Jane or Mrs. Long
ears. The door opened and in hop
ped Baby Bunty.
"Oh, Unkie Wig!" exclaimed the
little orphan rabbit. I'm so glad to
see youl"
And I'm glad to see you, Bunty,"
said Uncle Wiggily. II was just won-

not let them. But if you want to,
I don't mind"
"Ha! Hal" laughed the rabbit
gentleman. But suppose I don't
want to take your turn and sweep
the porch, Bunty?"
"Oh, why-why I thought you'd
LOVE to do it!" said Bunty, look
ing sort of sorry and hurt and her
lips began to tremble as they did
before she cried. Don't you want
to sweep the porch in place of
having me do it, Unkie Wig?" asked
Bunty softly.
What will you do while I'm
sweeping the porch?" asked the
rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, I'll play tag with the others,
said Bunty. And you may watch
me while you're sweeping and in
that way you'll have fun
"Bunty, you're a little rascal,
chuckled Mr. Longears. But hop
along and play. I'll sweep the
porch
So Mr.. Longears, out of the kind
ness of his heart, took the broom
and began sweeping the porch. Il
was very dusty and dirty, and soon
he had quite heap of stuff ready
to sweep off on the ground. And
just then along Waddled Mr.
Twistytail, the pig gentleman.
"Oh, hello, Wiggy!" grunted the
pig. II was going to ask you to take
a walk with me but if you're sweep
ing the porch you can't
"Oh, yes, can," said Uncle Wig
gily. "I'll just sweep the dirt I have
gathered under the mat and when
come back I'll finish cleaning the
porch" So Uncle Wiggily swept al
the dirt under the mat and he went
for a walk with the pig gentleman
While he was gone along came
sneaking the Bob Cat. Seeing Z
heap of something under the mat
the Bad Chap thought bunny wa'
hiding there Quickly pulling up th'
doormat the Bob Cat cried:
Come out of that! I've got you'll
But all that came out was a clouC
of dust and it got up the Bob Cat'
nose and made him sneeze so h
, had to run away kerchooing an(
kerchowing. Then when Uncle Wig
gily returned from his walk witt
Mr.. Twistytail he finished sweep

SMITH TURNS CONSERVATIVE

| Numerous admirers of Al Smith, with
| in and without the ranks of the Demo-
| cratic party. must be greatly surprised
at his attitude on the national money pol
! icy as expressed in magazine article
given publicity yesterday.
That Smith is sincere and honest in
his opposition to the administrations
policy, goes without saying Al is a
square shooter and has never been one to
dodge an issue or refrain from speaking
his mind so that all can understand.
1t is the conservative stand that Al
takes which is astounding to those who
have always considered him, as one who
marched in the front ranks of progress.
He declares he is against experimental
ton, that he prefers the old order, even
with its sins, to new DEAL which re-
quires taking chance.
This is new picture of the Al Smith
who constantly warred on the old order
of things. both as governor of New York
and as the acknowledged leader of the
Democratic party.
Smith, 10y his article, joins a small
group of leading Democrats, including
Carter Glass and Bernard Baruch, who
are on the other side of the fence from
the President. 1t places them in the same
company with David A. Reed of Penn
sylvania, staunch Republican conserva-
tive-an odd companion for the Demo-
cratic triumvirate.
While Smiths opposition will doubt
less be regretted by Mr. Roosevelt and
his followers. they have this consolation,
at least. Al detected" in theory, if not
in fact, during the 1882 campaign, and
Mr.. Roosevelt made the grade without
his help. Perhaps Franklin D. can do
the same thing in his financial policy.
There are many-Republicans as we'll as
Democrats-who prefer to wait and see.
They prefer to give the experimenting
professors" somewhat more of a chance
than Al has seen fit to do.
This is awful but we have to get it out
of our system. Tony Canzoneri has gone
into the candy business; he made a
Chocolate drop last night.

troubles as state director of finance, but
