Did you bring it here for us?"
asked Mr. Robin.
We'll, not exactly the rabbit

And where was that?' asked Mrs.
Robin, curious like, for she was
lady bird, you know.
Out of the even in my bunga-
low house. said Mr.. Longears.
He placed the leaf of raisin bread
on the bottom of an upturned bu-
/ shell basket near the Wheelbarrow.
Now that it was out of the towel,
the bread smelled better than ever,
"Ch, that's wonderful sighed
Mrs. Robin.
Il haven't smelled anything as
delicious since we hoped about in

Mrs. Robin Help yourselves to Aunt

the raisin bread. At first they took
just bread crumbs but when they
came to the plump, juicy raisins and
the seeds, which they liked almost
as well, why Mr.. Robin burst out in
to a song of thanks.
Cheer up, Cheer up! Cheer up!''
he trilled.

BIRDS

Uncle Wiggily. who was in the

towel. As the rabbit gentleman did
this a most delightful smell began
to drift through the old building.
My My! What's that asked
Mrs. Robin. She was sitting on
wheel barrow, her feathers ruffled
SO as to make her look very fat.
She did this to keep warm, for the
weather was cold
1T is a delightful smell" chirped
Mr. Robin. 1T smells-I don't want
to get you excited, my dear" he
whispered to his wife, but it smells
like-FOOD!"
As the two birds, who had come
up from the warm Southland to
spend the Summer in the North

time, their hearts beat faster now
as they smelled something good.

PRESS TO SUPPORT BRATTON

Voters of El Centre will choose a city
clerk at the election on April 9, three
men having filed notice Of their inten-
tions to be candidate for this office, to
fill an unexpired term of two years.
Those who have filed are Charles
Bratton, incumbent, Calvin q. Mousseau
and Irwin Maupin.
The Press will give its support to Mr..
Bratton, and in making this decision has
absolutely Y nothing against the other two
candidates. for whom It has the highest
respect and regard as citizens and neigh
bors.
Mr.. Bratton has acted as city clerk
through appointment by the city coun-
Gil, following the death of the late John
c. Neale last fall. He was trained in the
duties of the city clerk by John {. Neale,
for whom he acted as assistant, and no
man could have had better teacher, for
Mr. Neae was the highest type of public
official, thoroughly efficient and devoted
to public service.
His familiarity with the duties of the
office, during Mr. Neale's term and since
his appointment by the council, has CIV
en- Mr.. Bratton a splendid education rel
ative to the needs Of the city, which will
be of benefit to it in the next two years.
The city has paid him for the training
that it should have the benefit of the
training it has given him. 1t is also no
more than fair that Mr. Bratton, having
been trained to step into the vacancy
when it was created, should be given the
opportunity to have the office in his own
right.
He is a young man who has proved
himself capable and willing, efficient in
the requirements of his office, familiar
with the procedure of city business and
realization that public officer is a pub
lie servant whose duty is not only to
serve the city council but to be courteous
to- and ready to serve, the citizens Of El
Centre who may have business in his
office.
Mr. Bratton has resided in this city
for the past eight years, during which
time, aside from his duties in connection
with city work, he has been active in pub
lie affairs connected with the welfare
and development of El Centro, and has
given much of his time and efforts to the
progress of the city.
The Press believes El Centre will make
no mistake in retaining him in the office

little in common with those Of

TO accept membership on the Dis.

simply assume duties which are
quite foreign to the matters Of ma
tional legislation to which he must
give his primary attention, and
for which purpose he has origi-
nally been sent to washington.
AS q matter Of fairness to these
men, I feel that they should not
be burdened with trivialitieS. Give
the District Commissioners and
&heir subordinateS a larger share
Of responsibility, and leave the
Members Of Congress more tree
dom for the tasks that are right
fully theirs.
In times like these, national
matters of pressing moment must
be decided. The work of Congress
aS increasing right along, and al
the same time the demands Of Dis
