UNCLE WIGGILY'S VISITORS

Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. Twisty-
TAIL the fat pig gentleman, were
up in the tree house which the
rabbit gentleman had built among
the heavy branches about 10 feet
from the ground. The rabbit and
pig got up to the tree house by
climbing up a ladder, made of
ropes for the sides and sticks for
rungs or cross pieces.
"Did you say someone was COM
ing?" asked Uncle Wiggily as he
looked at the doors and windows
of his tree house. There was a
back and front door, back and
front window and also a window
on each side. The house was
made of boards.

grunted the fat pig, stepping out
on the front porch of the tree
house and looking down toward
the ground.

whisper.

Chaps would come visiting to your
tree house"

Imperial Valley press., 1934-06-29

Wiggily. "But the Fox isn't going
to get up here. I'n fool him!"
"How?' asked the pig.
"Watch,'' laughed the rabbit.
BY this time the Fox had seen
the house up in the rec. He also
saw Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. Twis-
tytail out on the front porch and
the Bad Chap started to run to
climb up the rope ladder.
But before he could reach it I'm
Gle Wiggily pulled the ladder UP
from where it dangled on branch,
held in place by two hammock
hooks.

Fox as he saw the rope ladder

"Ha! Ha! Hal" grunted Mr..

laughed Uncle Wiggily.
$50 you did" chuckled the fat
pig and he laughed so hard that
he shook like a bowl full of jelly.
"Stopl Stopl" begged Mr.. Long
ears. "You'l jiggle my house
down."
So Mr.. Twistytail stopped laugh
ing and then he and the rabbit
safe high up in the tree house
looked down and watched the FoS
jumping about trying to catch hole
of the rope ladder so he coulo

FAIR COMING UP

San Diego, which can do plenty of
family quarreling when it wants to.
seems to have pulled itself together to 90
after world S fair next year in real big
league fashion.
An extremely active organization is
now working out plans for the fair and
and 1t is aiming at giving the entire ma
ton something to see.
thousands of CalifornianS and more
thousands from other states, remember
the splendid fair San Diego put on in
1918. The site of that fair, now known
as Balboa park, gives San Diego an excel
lent start for its 1885 fair, as the organ
lzatlon in charge of that spectacle plans
to use the buildings in the park to house
their show.
San Diego's affair is one of three
scheduled throughout the state to COM
memorate constructive programs-in-
Guiding Boulder dam, the San Francis
co-Oakland bridge Metropolitan aque-
duct and the All-American canal.
The last and the first projects bring
the fairs home to Imperial Valley. With
out the determined effort put forth by
this valley Boulder dam and the Allan
erican canal would be years ahead of us
instead of in the immediate present if
indeed they materialized at all.
San Diegos fair is to feature the canal.
Imperial Valleys aid will be needed.
AS yet no formal invitation for the val
ley to participate has been received, and
this is not in the nature of criticism for
the fair organization is just getting un-
der way.
When the invitation does come, Imper-
ial Valley should give a splendid re-
sponse, primarily because San Diego's
fair will be our fair and also-many of
the thousands of visitors that fair will
attract to California will come through
Imperial Valley. 1t is our opportunity
as we'll as San Diego's.

BUSINESS BACKS
WAR ON NUMBERS
Electric Institute Leaders
Call Meeting Tuesday
at Harrington.

Acting on the belief that wide
spread gambling on the numbers is
diverting money from legitimate
trade. leaders OF the Electric Insti-
tute are arranging a meeting to be
held at 1890 pm. next Tuesday, in
the ball room at the Harrington
Hotel. to discuss remedial measures.
Norman H. Barnes of the Potomac
Electric Power Co, a prominent Of
fetal of the institute, who is spon-
soring the meeting, said today:
For some time we have watched
the columns of The Star. following
its campaign against the numbers
game, and We are convinced that the
three newspapers allied with The
Star and the radio stations, by sup
pressing the totaling of pari-mutuel
race results, are on the right track
1t has come to our attention that
the numbers runners are making an
actual inroad on the business of
Washington, and this by the simple
method of shunting small cash from
legitimate lanes into gambling de-
vices.
When you consider that the num-
beers racketeers of Washington are
making more money than most of the
small business men, when you think
that these gamblers do not have the
overhead expenses, that they are not
taxed, that they pay no licenses. you
see the great injustice being worked"
