You all want TO be storekeepers

buy some things"
With real money!" asked Bum
ty Winking one eye at the others.
yes, with real money!" said Un-
Gle Wiggily. And, truly, he gave
/ the rabbit children real pennies for
! wooden sticks of candy, for sugar
that was only sand, for prunes that
were only stones and for tea that
was only dried leaves.
Of course it was all in fun and
make believe at the pretend store.
But after a while, when Uncle Wig
gily had given each of the bunnies
real penny for things from the
make believe store, Bunty said:
Now let's go to a real store and
spend our money
20, yes, let's! Hurry shouted
Buster, and away they hoped,
well, 1 guess I'm left alone here
in the store and I'll have to keep

laughing I'll have to be the store
keeper and the customer, too. Well,
I can have fun that way"
So Mr. Longears pretended to
come and buy some sand sugar.
Then he waited on himself, put
some leaf money in the strawber-
ry box cash register, tinkled the
bell and tWinkled his nose and had
lots Of fun.
But after a while Mr.. Longears
began to feel sleepy, as real store

in the play store. And as he slept
something happened. I'll tell you

UNCLE WIGGILY PLAYS STORE

When Mrs. Bob Cat came home
to the den where her husband and
the two other Bad Chaps, the Wolf
and Fox waited for her, she was
feeling very sad.
Did you catch Uncle Wiggily?"
asked Mr.. Bob Cat. for that was
what his wife had gone to the woods
to do.
mo, I didn't get that rabbit this
time" she mewed.
Are you going to get him some
other time?" asked the Fox.
Yes, 1 ami" said the lady Bob
Cat.
"WhatIS the matter with your
dress looks older and more ragged

tend you were a beggar cat so YOU
could fool Uncle Wiggily But your
dress loks older and more ragged
than when you started out.
1T is" said Mrs. Bob Cat. "Un-
Gle Wiggily played a trick on me.
He made me sit down on stump
where he had put some sticky gum

myself loose, he had run away. And
when I did pull loose I tore my
dress. But I'll get Uncle Wiggily

AUSTIN BEATS
YANKEE ACE
BY WALLACE CARROLL

ROLAND GARROS STADIUM,
Auteuil, France, July 81. U.P)-Eng-
land made clean sweep of today's
opening matches of the Anglo-Am-
erican Davis cup battle.
Ellsworth Vines, U. S. national
champion, proved no match for
Henry Wilfred Bunny Austin, the
Englishman winning in straight
sets, 6-1, 6-1, GA. Vines was able
to score only single points in four
successive games, the last three OF
the first set and the first game OF
the second set.
Frederick j. Perry won the sec
0ld match, defeating Wilmer AL
lison of Texas, 6-l, rs, Cd.
ROLAND GARROS STADIUM,
AUTEUIL, France, July 21-Henry
Wilfred Dummy Austin defeated
Ellsworth Vines today to send Eng-
land off to a winning start III the
Anglo-American Davis cup tie.
Austin won by -l,6-1 ,6-4.
The resulU was a stunning sur
prise to most of the gallery of 5000
which expected to sec Vines win, or
at least to play on more nearly
even terms with the British player.
Vines was hopelesSly outclaSscd
from the start, was guilty of re-
peated double faults, and almost
continually droev returns into the
net.
Vines was plainly worried after
dropping the first set, and he could
rot bring his famous cannonbail
service into proper condition. Aus
tin meantime was playing ooolly
and was makrig the laTky Vines
1un all over the court.
Austin scored repeatedly with
hlstering drives to the baseIine, but
the British player, clad in white
shorts and half hose, won more
points on Vines faults than on his
own placements
A crowd of 1900 which was stun
ned by Vines lack of form was full
ly as surprised by the straight set
defeat of Allison.
AlllCl lNd CIldllOtO w W III JlAC
right to meet France in the chal-
lenge round were scarcely "100 to
l." as one expert put it. The Am
orleans would have to win tomor-
rows doubles match and the two
singles matches Sunday in order to
enter the challenge round.
This seemed an all but impossible
task, for Austin displayed enough
tennis class today as to give Allison
a terrific assignment, and unless
Vines displays an about face from
the form shown in losing his VIM
bledon crown to Jack Crawford OF
Australia, and in bowing in straight
sets today, he will prove no match
for Perry.
No sound explanation of the rout
of the Americans was forthcoming.
Partly their defeat seemed due to
stage fright, but it was difficult to
understand how such veterans OF
crowded galleries as Vines and Al
lison could have been affected by

Looking through the bushes, Un-
Gle Wiggily saw where the rabbit
boys and girls had laid a board
across two flat stumps to make a
play store counter. On the board
were clam shells filled with sand
gravel, green leaves and some red
berries. There were also some old
tin cans filled with sticks.

VALLEY HAS FRIENDS

PARTICULARLY pleasing to Imperial
Valley is the report brought back by
representative valley citizens and Off
Gals Of the Imperial Irrigation district
who recently made tour of the state in
behalf of the All-American canal.
Although other matters in which the
valley Is interested also prompted the
tour, lis primary object was to solicit
statewide support for the effort to have
the canal included in the public works
program.
Everywhere the delegates went they
were oourteously received and given full
opportunity to explain what they sought.
When this was done they were promised
and received full cooperation from those
whose aid they solicited
The effectiveness of the delegations
work, and the value of the aid given
to it by numerous communities and Off
clal bodies are indicated in the deluge
of kilograms sent to Washington urging
that the canal project be included in the
pubic works program.
\ recent statement made by Secretary
lckes, of the department of the interior,
to the effect that the canal will be in
clrded in the public works program, is
believed 10 be result of the numerous
requests his department received from
those whose support the valley delega-
tion enlisted
While the Importance of obtaining out
side support for the canal cannot be dis
counted, there is another phase of the
tour which cannot be overlooked. 1t
proved beyond doubt that the rest of the
state is friendly to Imperial Valley and
its interests. Quite often we hear
charges that this or that community
''has it in for Imperial Valley. 1t is not
likely that any member of the valley del
egation will back up such charge. On
the contrary, they are unanimous in de-
claring that Imperial Valley is on eX-
cellent terms with all other sections Of
the state.

COURT IRREGULARITY

EROM Los Angeles, where numerous
court Irregularities have been un-
eartheG from time to time, comes report
OF another which permitted a twice con-
Vlcted man TO get out Of Jail each day to
conduct business, returning at night to
his cell.
The prisoner, one W. J. Conner. is un-
der sentence to San Quentin and to Fol-
som prisons. The sentence to the for
Nor institution is for grand theft and to
the latter for passing worthless checks.
According to the records, he was held
III jail. presumably pending an appeal
IL his case, instead of being taken to pris-
on last February, following his convic-
tor. Investigation developed that his
appeal had not been perfected and he
should have been taken to prison long
ago.
Instead, the investigation also reveal
ed, superior court judge had signed
orders releasing him from jail over 70
times in the months he was held there.
Conner spent his days promoting a
financial venture in which he is inter-
ested. according to his own admission
during the investigation.
There is nothing to prove that the
Judge VINO released him day after day
is guilty of violating the law, but that
he was most lax in seeing that the law
is carried out can hardly be denied.
Recently this column commented on
the dilatory manner in which California
imposes punishment on wrong doers,
comparing it with the swiftness of Wis
consin justice.
The Conner incident proves that the
point is well taken. There is no logical
reason why The prisoner should not have
been in prison months ago. The aver
age man cannot be blamed if he sees in
this case another proof that wealth and
influence have considerable bearing up
on the treatment accorded those brought
before the bar of justice.
