BED TIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright 1884 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)

Uncle Wiggily 81 came here to find
Baby Bunty. Here is the we'll she
started to dig Here are her sand
shovel and pail. Here is the pile
of sand she dug out to make the
we'll and here are her shoes I
found at the bottom of the we'll
which. as yet, has no water in it.
Now what do you make of that?'
In China.
"Just this" said Mr.. Twisty-
tail. "It is very simple. Baby
Bunty dug a we'll, hole, all the
way through to China and she has
gone down there, through the hole,
to be a Chinese rabbit. She left
her shoes to show you where she
had gone. -
ooh, my goodness! - cried Uncle
Wiggily. "Baby Bunty in Chinal
But if she dug her way down
there" he asked, ''why didn't she
leave the hole open SO I could
come after her?'
"Maybe she did, grunted the
pig, "but the sand filed the hole
"Oh, I didn't think of that, -
said Mr.. Longears. "But what are
we going to do to get her back?
Poor Baby Bunty!'
"You and I must open the hole
again." said the pig gentleman,
"and dig our way to China. Then
we can get Buntyo
"Come onl Let's do It'll" said
Mr.. Longears, and he began dig
ging at the we'll hole, MIR. TwiSty-
tail helping him.
Reach Water
They were digging away, making
the sand fly, getting down deeper
and deeper and pretty soon they
came to water.
ooh, poor Bunty is drowned"
sighed Uncle Wiggily.
Don't stop! Keep on digging!"
grunted the pig.
"You can't dig Water!" objected
Mr. Longears.
"Well, dip it out with the pail"
cried the pig.
Uncle Wiggily was just going to
do that when he heard a jolly
shout and much laughter short
distance out in the ocean, which
was very smooth. Then along came
the door boat with the umbrella
sail. Baby Bunty was on board
with the other animal children.
ooh, Unkie Wig!' she said when
she heard how worried Mr. Long
ears had been about her. 81
wasn't in China. I dug only lit
tie we'll and then l went for a sail
with the others. I'm sorry wor-
ried you"
Mr.. Longears said everything was
all right now and kissed Bunty.

of the petroleum industry as a
whole. He has long been direc-
tor of the American Petroleum
Institute. The esteem in which he
is held by the industry and by
the administration was notably
expressed last year by his selection
as chairman of the Pacific Coast
regional marketing committee un-
der the national code of fair
competition for the petroleum in
dustry.
The directors of Shell Oil COM
pany have announced the appoint
ment of S. Belither to succeed
Legh-Jones as president of Shell
Oil company. Belither has back
ground of many years expert
ence in all branches of the petrol
cum industry. For the past year

prior to that time he held an
executive position with Shell Oil

HEAD OF SHELL COMPANY GETS
IMPORTANT COMPANY ADVANCE

Rumors which have been current
for some time have now been con-
firmed by the announcement that
George Legh-Jones, president of
the Shell Oil company, will short
ly leave for London where he will
take an important part in the
management of the worldwide in
terests of the Royal Dutch Shell
Group.
This news has been anticipated
for some time by those intimately
connected with the oil business as
in his new position there will be
a wider scope for Legh-Jones' out
standing talents as an oil man
and his experience of the oil busi-
ness of the United States.
Legh-Jones will be Sir Henri
Deterdings immediate assistant
and will be directly in charge of
the Royal Dutch Shell Groups
interests both in North and South
America.
Legh-JoneS came to the Pacific
Coast in 1922 as president of Shell
Oil company Cthen Shell Company
of California;. AT that time the
company's interests represented
only small fraction of what they
are today. Prior to 1882 the COM
pany had oil production only in the
Coalinga oilfields and refineries
at Martinez and Coalinga, Cali
fornia, while its marketing acti-
tiles were restricted to relatively
few of the major metropolitan CEN
ters on the coast. Today Shell Oil
company has five refineries located
at Coalinga, Martinez, Whining
ton, Dominguez, California, and
Shellburn, British Columbia. 1t has
a substantial share of the oil pro-
duction in every important oil
field in California and it's market
ing activities extend throughout
the states of California, Oregon,

MERRIAM FOR GOTEPNOR

In the few months he has been in
office, Governor Frank F. Merriam has
demonstrated to the people of Califor-
mia, that he has the executive ability es-
sential in one who directs the affairs of
a great state.
Backing up his record as governor are
long years of service as a legislator, in
cluding the speakership of the assembly
and the presidency of the senate during
his term as Acknowledgements.
Merriam is the logical candidate for
the Republican nomination for governor
which he seeks at the August primary
election.
An executive who does not equivocate
in a crisis, who has the courage of his
convictions and who is disinterested
enough in his own political welfare to
act as he believes to be for the greatest
good of the greatest number compels
the admiration of all good citizens.
Governor Merriam amply demonstrate
ed during the recent San Francisco strike
that he possesses these attributes.
He did not hesitate to send the militia
into San Francisco when chaos threat
ened that city and its citizens were re-
fused their constitutional right to con-
duct their businesses and their person
al affairs as they see fit in accordance
with the law
Nor did Merriam hesitate to put re-
sponsibility for the strike where it be-
longed-on the heads of "alien radicals
who were seeking to overthrow the Am
erican system of government.
Had Governor Merriam not acted de-
cisively and with determination there is
no telling to what extent the "alien radi-
Gals" would have gone for they were ''in
the saddle" and few dared to oppose
their wishes
The state of California is going to
need thoroughly experienced man to
guide it through the next four years
which promise to be extremely critical
in view of the states present financial
condition. Merriam has the necessary
experience to lead California out of its
present financial bog.
Throughout his years in the assembly
and senate Merriam has been a good
friend to Imperial Valley and in the last
session of the legislature kept in close
contact with legislative matters affect
ing this community S good. Imperial
Valley Republicans should keep this in
mind when they go to the polls on August
28
From a Republican standpoint Mer-
riam is easily the strongest of the candi-
dates seeking that party's nomination.
With him bearing the party's standard
in November Republican can be elect
