and then to smell a red flower or
look at a blue one. 1t was lovely
in the woods and, all OF a sudden,
Uncle Wiggily reached a little brook.
The water in the brook was flowing
slowly and quietly, hardly making
a sound and only very few bub-
bles.
Il think I'll sit down by the
brook and have little peace and
quiet said Mr.. Longears. 1t was
easy TO do this for there was the
brooN right in front of him and
there was peace and quiet all
around him. There was plenty of
peace and quiet, enough for every
body.
But after a while the peace and
quiet became rather tiresome. Uncle

the brook would chatter a bit or

WHAT, NO CANTALOUPES?

If Mexican laborers of the valley are
downtrodden and abused, and the only
relief for them is that furnished by the
American Civil Liberties Union, then the
indifference of the former to the good
will visit of the latter on Saturday IS
difficult to understand
The Mexican population Of Brawley
and vicinity observed "Cinco de Mayo,
a Mexican national holiday, on Saturday
and from all reports were much more
interested in that affair than in the visit
of the "liberators.
Reports further state that the "liber
ators" saw little, if anything, of the
"downtrodden MeXicans. A couple of
carloads of the ''liberators' swung over
around Brawley's eastside where the eel
ebration was in progress, but If they saw
anything of the fiesta it was long shot
view. The Mexicans made no effort
whatsoever to rush out in greeting to
the "liberators.
On the whole, the good will tour
was pretty much Of flop. About a score
of the American Civil Liberties Union
cohorts came down from coast points, at
tempted to see General Glassford who
was out and after waiting short time
for him to return, decided that Imperial
Valleys climate was a little too warm.

coast at this season Of the year, and its
lure was stronger than the desire to
right the wrongs of the MeXicans.
The "liberators" were not pressed to
prolong their stay. Imperial Valleys
well known hospitality had taken day
off as far as they were concerned. In
fact there is something stronger than
inference that some of the leaders of the
''liberators" We're snubbed by "welcom-
ing committee.
With an abundance of cantaloupes all
around, not single cantaloupe was Off
cred to them. This was strange con-
trast to the valleys usual method of
greeting visitors. Generally they are de-
luged with cantaloupes until most of
them are suffering from tummy ache
when they leave here.
When one thinks about it, refraining
from offering the ''liberators" any cam
taloupes was thoughtful gesture on the
part of the Brawley welcoming COM
mittee.' In all probability the ''liberat-
tors would have been grievously insult
ed by being asked to eat cantaloupes
grown by the lash-wielders of the capi-
talistic class and picked by the Mexican
serfs whose chains are there even if they
cannot be seen. On the other hand,

dams in all the world of animals
And to have a waterfall you need
a man.
A dam is something of mud, wood,
stones, sticks Cor all four built
across a brook or river to hold back
the water Instead of flowing on
quietly. the water is damned, or
held back, until it rises high enough
to splash over the top of the dam.
Then it falls down with very
pleasant sound.
Wen soon make waterfall,
Uncle Wiggily," said Toodle.
Just as soon as we can cut down
few little trees and let them fall
across the brook, and pile against
them some mud, grass and sticks,
said Noodle.
Then those beaver boys became
very busy as most beavers are. IN
Gle Wiggily helped as best he could,
but he did not have such good
gnawing teeth as did Toodle and
Noodle. They soon gnawed down
some little trees. doing it in such
a way that the trees fell straight
across the brook.
Then, going into the water, the
two beavers piled mud, sticks and
grass against the trees. Soon the
brook stopped flowing. The water
began to rise back of the beaver
dam and in a little while, all of a
sudden, it began to splash over the
| top.
There's your waterfall, Uncle
Wiggilyl" cried Toodle and Noodle
Thanks a lot" said the rabbit
gentleman as he listened to the
! splashing

stop squirting water in the face OF

UNCLE wIGGILY's WATERFALL

Uncle Wiggily was hopping slowly
across the fields toward the woods.
When the rabbit gentleman reached
the woods he thought he would also
hop slowly beneath the trees.

1t was a lovely day in May. The
sun was shining brightly, the grass
seemed to be growing more green

wind blowing; just enough breeze
to play tag in Uncle Wiggily's whis-

The reason the rabbit gentleman
was hopping SO slowly was that he
was in no hurry. He could have
hoped much faster if he had
wished.

MORE WINNERS

We are glad to give boost to a bunch
OF deserving young men who have been
successful in bringing more honors to Ell
Gentro and Imperial Valley, though their
feat is not generally greeted with the ac-
claim that comes to winners in other
lines.
A group of Central Union high school
students, enrolled in the agricultural
course, and members of the Future
Farmers OF America, attended the con-
vention at San Luis Obispo Saturday and
made good showing in competition
with boys from schools all over the
state.
Central's livestock Judging team won
first place in horse judging, first and
second honors being taken by boys from
the local school. Another student was
second high individual in Judging dairy
cattle. The team in this class finished
fifth out of % schools competing.
The Importance Of fostering interest
IN agricultural activities on the part of
students cannot be ver-emphasized as
tar as Imperial Valley is concerned. This
IS an agricultural community and always
will be while it exists. The bows who are
now learning and competing as students
will, before most of us realize it, be TAX
ing their places in managing Imperial
Valley ranches and farms.
1t Is fine to read of local students
making good in the professions and there
Is no intention to cast any reflection on
those who are being so educated At
the same time, it is indeed gratifying to
know that there are boys who are keen
~ interested in scientific farming, or in
other pursuits that come under the gen.
eral head of agriculture
The more these youngsters learn about
proper farming, and its accompanying
branches, the better farms the Imper-
ial Valley of the future will have. The
boy who pursues his high school and
college course in overalls has something
coming to him in the way of recognition
as we'll as the best orator or the crack
athlete.
We hope the agricultural boys will
have even greater success next time
