UNCLE WIGGILY LAUGHS HARD

When the Snow Bird told Uncle
Wiggily that the Wolf and Bob Cat
were in the den with the Fox, the
rabbit gentleman thought it was
going to be very easy to play trick
on the Bad Chaps and lock them in
the Fox cave. But, as told you in
the story last night, when Mr.
Longears had hoped up to the
cave to lock the door he quickly
hoped back again without doing it
and said he couldn't.
"Why not?" asked the Snow Bird.
Surely, after all our work, you
want to play the trick on the Bad
Chaps, don't you?"
"Oh, yes, I want to all right,
said Mr.. Longears, but I CAN'T
why not?" asked the bird again.
Because there isn't any lock on
the door of the Fox den," said the
rabbit. "I guess Bad Chaps never
have any locks on their doors. NO
body ever wants to go in, anyhow.
"Ha! No lockp' chirped the Snow
Bird. "I never thought of that.

Council Rescinds
Former Action

Resembling a former refusal, the
city council in special session last
night granted F.. A. Henderson and
F. c. Hunter permission to conduct
a billiard parlor at 625 Main street,
in the Elks building. A license
has been issued to them and in
stallation of tables will be made
immediately
The council has based its refusal
of the application on the fact that
there was a pool hall then exist
ing on Main street between Sixth
and Seventh and a city ordinance
forbids more than one such estab-
lishment in that block. The present
owner, however, has sold his pool
hall franchise TO Henderson and
Hunter and will conduct a card
game at his present location.

that maybe the White House would

MEETING FOR DATRYMEN

Various phases Of Imperial Valleys
dairying industry are TO be discussed to-
morrow at an important meeting to be
held in Veterans Memorial hall, El Cen
tro, at which DR.. c. L. Duckworth, as
sistant state director of agriculture will
be present.
It is desirable that every dairyman in
the valley be present at this meeting in
order that it may be fully representative
of the industry
Among other items to be discussed is
the national program for the eradication
of cows afflicted with tuberculosis, and
indemnification for their destruction.
This is factor in the industry that
should be of much interest to valley
dairymen for there is a considerable per-
centage of tubercular cows in valley
herds and their eradication is one of the
items that must be taken into consider
alton in any plan designed for the i'm
provement of the industry.
The need for improvement is manifest,
and any movement tending toward 1t Is
important to the dairyman.
DR.. DuckWorth comes here with the
intention of giving his aid to the dairy
situation. That aid can be beneficial to
the fullest extent only when he has the
cooperation of the entire industry.
This column recently emphasized the
necessity of the entire valley lending
whatever assistance it can to improve
ment of the dairy industry. There will
be a greater incentive to give such assist
ance if it is demonstrated first that the
dairymen are interested in their own af-
fairs.
While designed primarily for the dairy
man, tomorrow's meeting should also be
of interest to the businessmen of the val
ley and there is no good reason why they
should not be represented at it. Their at
tendance will indicate that interest in the
dairymans affairs which the business
men should hold toward the industry
which is rightly called the backbone of
the valleys prosperity
