dent, but it is going to take something
more than that to force him out of his
commission as a colonel in the army re-

A move having this as its objective has
been started by retired officer now on
the reserve.

self, is most likely to be the view taken
by the people of the United States.
Llndbergh's niche as the ace of aviators
Is secure. So is his popularity as one of
the outstanding figures in the world.
That he may have been indiscreet in writ
ing the letter, or permitting his name to
be signed to It, is an opinion quite gener-
ally held. This, however, detracts little,
if any, from his excellent record
If one wishes to get critical it might be
only fair to contrast this breach with the
terrible wrong which the people of the
United States, by their laxity, permitted
to be perpetuated on Colonel Lindbergh.
Viewed in this light censure of the col

Arthur w. Mcmahon, who made the re-
quest that Colonel Lindbergh's commits
sion be withdrawn, has never been heard
of before. If he is to obtain any sort of

STRETCHING THE TRUTH

NO better illustration is needed of the
means used by agitators to stir up
trouble such as now prevails in the pea
growing area near Calipatria than to cite
. case involving relief for a transient
family living in that vicinity.
According to report given out earlier
N the week by agitators, two children in
the family died as a result of neglect and
exposure Incidental to their experiences
In the strike, which really started on Feb
ruary 8.
Investigation by The Press shows that
one child died on February 2 and the
other on February 4, several days prior
to the start of the strike.
Between December % and February 5,
the Emergency Relief office at Calipatria
had expended a total of S6094 for this
family's aid. This sum did not represent
its sole support, as the father was able to
get some work during the period. Of the
S6O.94 contributed, $23. "a was for medicine
for the two children, who were given all
the aid possible, including doctors SER
vices and disqualification.
Groceries contributed amounted to
;S21.60 and the family received clothing
valued at SIC. In addition to the total of
$60.94, the family received four pounds
of dried apples, four dozen eggs and 20
pounds of cured salt pork.
Incidentally, the family was greatly ap-
preciative of the aid which they received
and made no complaint to the Emergen-
cy Relief office, nor did they find fault
IN any way with the treatment accorded
them.
The fact that two children had died
was seized upon by the agitators as an
opportunity for them to do some distort-
ing of the truth. The deaths of the
children were not incidental to the pea
strike and the latter had no bearing up
on the family's misfortune.
A complete copy of the relief offices
budget in connection with this family's
case is in the possession of The Press,
substantiating the report of the relief
office
That some may be suffering because of
the strike is not be doubted. That the
relief office in Calipatria is doing every
Thing to alleviate suffering, cannot be
disputed either. And those who are in
clined to criticize certain phases of the
strike might also be reminded that the
pea growers might we'll be included
among the sufferers. Their crop is spoil
ing on them and their loss is, in the end,
borne by the people of Imperial Valley.

"Oh. I must find a hole to hide
in" said poor Uncle Wiggily, his
heart beating very fast. Then, just
as the Fox caught glimpse of the
bunny, Mr.. LongearS saw a fine big
hole beneath the roots of tree. 1t
was a hole already dug out and in
an instant Uncle Wiggily popped in.
He thought he would have this
hole TO himself, but he had no
sooner popped into it, to hide away
from the Fox than voice cried:
who is coming into my hole?"
"Oh. excuse mel" said Uncle Wig
eily politely. Il didn't know this
was your hole. Who are you? Not
Bad Chap, hope!"
Just then the hole was made
bright by the gleam of a flashlight
and by its rays Uncle Wiggily saw
! in the dark hole ahead of him q
large ragged rabbit. This rabbit
was dressed like tramp and he
had long whiskers. He flickered
his flashlight in Uncle Wiggily
face and looking sharp at him said
This is my hole and you can't
come in. Get out!"
"Oh. 1 can't go out, if you please,

there. Please let me stay kere with

they could easily follow after me

So the rabbit gentleman hoped
