4 WISE MOVE

Calling off the STRAW vote scheduled
IN the Imperial Irrigation district tomor-
row IS a wise move
The vote was TO obtain an idea of SEN
timent in the valley relative to construct
ing the All-American canal by force &C
count This method has already been
frowned upon by the reclamation ser
vice, which will have charge of building
the canal, and even had the vote showed
the majority of the valley in favor of the
force account, it is very doubtful if it
would have had any bearing on the pos
ition taken by the reclamation service.
On the contrary, there is every reason
to believe that had the vote showed a
preponderance of sentiment in favor Of
the force account to use it as agitation
against the position of the reclamation
service would only have antagoniZed the
officials of that department, with whom
Imperial Valley must deal throughout
the entire time the canal is being built.
1t has also been ascertained that the
district cannot bid on the canal work, be-
ing unable to obtain a satisfactory bond
as required of all contractors.
Bids will be opened on December 20
When they are known it will be time
enough to decide what steps, if any, the
district should take
The district should be solicitous in see
ing that work on the canal is started as
promptly as possible, that it is done as
economically as possible aud that Imper-
ial Valley men are given preference on
the work
In reality, the first two FACTORS rest
with the reclamation service, which GER
tainly has no good reason to delay the
start of construction, nor to permit eX-
travagance in the cost.
1t has already been demonstrated in
the preliminary work being done on the
canal route, that Imperial Valley men
are to get preference in building the
canal. Nothing has developed to indi-
cate that this method will be changed.
Sentiment in Imperial Valley will be
united in seeing that it is not changed.
Imperial Valleys best interests will be
served by the district cooperating with
the reclamation service. The majority
of the district board is willing to do this.
Any delay that occurs in getting con-
struction started, through antagonizing

Juniors Enjoy

lar weekly meeting in the California

Lee Nuffer, judge of the police

the morning and guide on this trip
which was made by means of mo-
ton pictures which he had made
last summer while attending the
ElkS convention in the Wisconsin
city and the World IS Fair in Chi
cago.
1t was a most interesting hour
and Judge Nuffer accompanied the
pictures by a running commentary
on the various points of interest
along the route and also of the two
cities visited He also showed two
sets of pictures of fishing trips to
San Felipe on the Gulf of Califor-
mia made by a group of local fish
crmen which were also highly in
teresting.

By United Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-If you
have a hard time remembering the
meaning Of the initials of the null
titude of Roosevelt "'administra-
tons" it may be come consolation
TO know that a lot of congressman
are in the same fix.
Director Joseph Choate of the Ii
quor control administration arrived
early when he was summoned to
the joint hearing of the senate fin
ance committee and the house WAYS
and means committee on liquor tax
Is. He was introduced to Chairman
Doughton of the house committee
as the director of the FACA."
Doughton's committee had been
studying liquor problems for some
weeks, but he had to admit he
didn't know what FACA means.
Il know about NRA and AAA, -
he said to Choate, But tell just
what FACA is"
Choate explained that it is the
Federal Alcohol Control Admins
tration.
Although prohibition has been
repealed the congressional tax
hearings have yet to reveal a SEN
ator or representative who wants to
state in public that he knows any
thing about liquor from personal
experience.

DODGE SALES
KEEP GROWING

Dodge dealers again distinguished
themselves by hanging up still an
other rising fall sales recorder
the week ending November IS. That
week incidentally is said to be the
thirty-first consecutive week Of the
year to show a substantial retail de-
livery gain over sales made by the
company's dealers during cor
responding periods of 1882.
The current statement of the Or
ganization's selling activities, just
given out by A. vanDerzee, general
sales manager of Dodge Brothers
Corporation, reports the weeks re-
tail deliveries by Dodge dealers as
totaling 1871 new vehicles, COM
pared to 1912 vehicles delivered
during the preceding week. Of the
1871 vehicles delivered during the
week ending November IS, 1851
were passenger cars and $50 were
trucks, the combined passenger car
and truck business marking a gain
of 81 percent over that of the pre-
ceding week and an increase OF
1929 percent over the same week
last year.
Between January l and November
! 10 of the present year Dodge deal
ers delivered III ,074 new passenger
cars and trucks - 80,146 being
Dodges, $4,000 Plymouths, and 22,-
1913 Dodge trucks. Compared TO
year-t date sales of 1882, deliveries
of Dodge passenger cars so far this
year gained 234.l percent, Plymouth
deliveries by Dodge dealers were
1882 percent ahead, while Dodge
truck sales rose 1924 percent. These
figures do not include Canadian
and export shipments of Dodge pas
senger cars and trucks, accounting
for an additional 5,165 vehicles.
Of specific interest, because eX-
planning the lively rate at which
production of present Dodge models
continues, is the information that
reported sales for the first eighteen
days Of November are actually
greater than deliveries during the
first 18 days of October.

PROTECTING THE WORKERS

Imperial Valley workmen who are in
need of employment, are to be protect
ed against invaders from the outside who
seek public work here on false pretenses.
That fact was demonstrated yesterday
when on complaint of the National Re-
employment service three men We're ar
rested charged with wilfully signing
false affidavits asserting they are bona
flde residents of Imperial county.
However, if any men have registered
under false affidavits, they had better
consider thoroughly the advsability of
remaining in Imperial county To do so
Is to invite arrest and trial, with a iaiI
term if convicted.
There are too many bona fide resi-
dents of this county in actual need of
work, to have their chances of obtaining
employment jeopardized in even a single
instance.
The National Unemployment service
and other agencies cooperating with it are
to be complimented for their efficiency
IN getting at the root of this investiga-
ton without delay and for bringing
charges against the men involved. 1t is
another proof that the Unemployment
service is functioning as it was intended
to function

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SNOW
FLOWERS

When Uncle Wiggily hoped to-
ward his hollow stump bungalow
after having thrown snoWballs at
the Fox, the Wolf and the Bob Cat,
as I told you in the story last night,
the rabbit gentleman met on the
way many of the animal children
coming home from school. There
was Baby Bunty, Jingle, Jangle,
Buster, Custer, Jackie and Peetie
Bow Wow and many others.
ooh, isn't the snow fun!" they
shouted.
Lots of fun" agreed Uncle Wig
gily.
Then he threw soft snowballs at
the children and they threw soft
snoWballs at him and they all had
lots OF good times.
I'm going to get my sled!'
shouted Buster.
so am L. said his brother Gus
ter.
And we'll ride down hill" said
Buster, another brother.
Lets get our sleds, girls" called
Jingle. Well have some coasting
fun, tool"
So they all hoped away from
Uncle Wiggily, not thinking to in
yite him to come coasting with
them.
But I don't mind said Mr..
Longears to himself. Il had a jolly
adventure with the Bad Chaps and
, perhaps I'll have another before l
get home to my bungalow" For, as
yet, he had not reached home.
On he hoped through the snow
which was still falling, SO that now
the ground was covered so deeply
with the white flakes that if you
had walked in it you would have
sunk down up to your knees.
This is quite a STORM" said the
rabbit gentleman to himself as he
hoped along.
Isn't it" said an unexpected
voice behind the rabbit gentleman.
Such bad storm and I'm sorry
and sad. Oh, dear!2
At first Uncle Wiggily thought
the voice he heard was that of one
of the Bad Chaps that had come
back to get him after he had thrown
the snowballs. But, looking through
the cloud of snow flakes, Uncle
Wiggily saw a shape that he well
remembered. It was that Of a fat
pig.
Hello, Mr.. TWistytail!" exclaimed
the rabbit gentleman.
Hello" was the grunted answer.
But l am not Mr. TWistytail."

gily in surprise. who are you? I'm

grunted answer, but I'm not Mr..
