UNCLE WIGGILY'S FUNNY FISH

Spring was beginning to make
everything lovely in Woodland, near
the Orange Ice Mountains, where
Uncle Wiggily lived. Winter had
gone away, except, perhaps, from
the very tops of the mountains,
which were still covered with snow.
But down below, the April rains
were softening the hard ground so
the May flowers could pop up their
heads and perfume the air.
The rains were doing more than
soften the ground, for they were
filling the brooks and lakes with
warm fresh water from the sky, now
that the ice had melted.
Uncle Wiggily walked through the
kitchen of his hollow stump bum
galoW one morning. Over his Shout
der he carried pole and in one paw
he held a tin can.

basket, the rabbit gentleman was
soon hopping over the fields and
through the woods to little brook

catch a few fish. OF course, Uncle
Wiggily didn't eat fish or meat.

involved in city administration. The mill
tax has only made them bear their share
OF the burden. It has relieved the bus
lnessman and the citizen from the dun
ming nuisance.
Ell Centre citizens will be asked next
Monday to decide whether they wish to
continue this fair and business-like
method of developing their city, or re-
vert to the old system of "dunning." We
believe the people of Ell Centre, who were
far-sighted enough in 1923 to vote the
one-mill tax, will uphold it next Monday
by voting No on the proposition to abo-
ish it.
The Press will present other articles
on the mill tax between now and election
day in order that citizens may be relia-
bly, and correctly informed before going
to the polls.

office by the Railway Express Agen-
cy and may be deposited there by
the shipper if messenger service is
not desired.
Western Union messengers will
call for packages not exceeding 20
pounds in weight or $3.50 in value
and will be authorized to accept
them with charges prepaid or COL
lect and to give receipts for them.
Railway Express Agency trucks
will continue to make regular

THE ONE MILL TAX

One week from today Ell Centre goes
to the polls, to choose two eouncilmen
and to decide whether the city shall re-
tain or revoke the one mill tax author
lied in 1923 for the purpose of advertis-
ing and developing this community.
The Press has expressed its preference
for Leo Hetzel and Roy Womack as can
didates for the city council believing
them to be the two men best fitted by eX-
perience and familiarity with the city's
needs to serve Ell Centre.
Funds for advertising Ell Centre are
expended chiefly through the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce and movement
has originated to deprive the chamber of
this assistance.
Misleading statements have been is
sued by those opposing the mill tax and
citizens who are DESTROYS of seeing Ell
Centre hold and strengthen its position
as the leading city of Imperial Valley,
and one of the outstanding communities
IN the Southwest, should give plenty of
thought before voting to abolish the mill
tax.
A city needs chamber of commerce.
That fact is indisputable. A city with
out live chamber of commerce is
stagnant city. Ell Centre has real
chamber of commerce, which is on the job
every day, not only seeking to improve
this community in its local affairs but
putting it in the most favorable light be-
fore the rest of the world.
Prior to establishment of the advertis-
ing fund.- merchants and citizens gener-
ally, were called upon quite frequently
to donate money for various emergencies
which arose. To fail to meet these emer-
gencles would set the city in the "piker'
class. To meet them was often a hard
ship on the relatively small percentage
OF citizens who were "dunned".
Establishment of the advertising fund
has abolished this.
The fairness of the mill tax, which is
indeed small one is apparent to any
one who gives thought to the matter. ANY
development or progress in Ell Centre, if
IL is only construction of a small build
ing, paving of an additional street. or
opening of new business, benefits the
entire city. 1t benefits those who own
property here but who seldom, if ever.
visit the city.
1t is not right that these absent land
lords should reap the benefit while the
burden of developing the city is carried
by others. They should pay their share
the same as the man who is in business
here or who resides here. They do that
through the one mill tax
1t IS estimated that 81 per cent of Ell
Centro,s property is owned by non-resi-
dents. Before the mill tax was estab-
llshed-by the vote of the people Incl
dentally-the non-residents were escap-
ing without paying anything toward
those extra expenses which all cities
must meet, over and above the expenses

WASHINGTON, April 2. = The
Indian, often lamented as the "for-
gotten American has been remem-
bered in the new deal.
Quietly and without fanfare, the
greatest series OF colorful pow-WoWs
since the days of the old west has
just been ended. In the meetings
the Indians voice was sought on
what has been called the magma
carta of tribesmen. On Capitol
Hill it is referred to as the Wheeler
Howard bill, and is designed to pro-
tect Indian rights and preserve Tor
them their lands.
The councils were held wherever
tribes were grouped, in Oklahoma,
South Dakota, Arizona and Oregon.
The emissary of the Great White
Father was John Collier, commits
sioner of Indian affairs.
Collier, who met the tribesmen in
strategic points, reported many
cclorful scenes. Braves turned out
in full war dress and feathered
headgear. Others chose new store
clothes as a more fitting garb for
the councils. Many chiefs were in
cluded in those who listened and
then spoke for their tribes.
The commissioner matter-of-
fact report told of 16 days and nights
of travel throughout the west; of
interpreters addressing var o u
tribes in 80 different languages,
and of recording 100000 words OF
testimony.
1t was the elimination OF Col
lier's years of championing the
cause of the Indians. He had fought
single handed previously to thWart
land grabbers, oil and power inter-
ests from taking unfair advantage
of tribes. But under the new deal
he made his roundup armed with
full authority of the government.
The case has been presented to
the Indian and the record will be
placed before congress. When COM
pleted, it will show 100 per cent of
American Indians demanding their
magma carta, Collier predicts.
Motion pictures, it seems, are to
be credited with reviving interest
in the ancient sport of falconry. A
few scenes from the Life of Henry
The Eighth showed the English
king indulging in his favorite sport.
Most of the audiences were beWild-
cred. They saw the king and his
followers hunting on horses with
birds darting to and fro.

it. What did you say you wanted?'
Some bait-something to catch
fish with" answered Mr.. LongearS
You see Spring is good time to &c
fishing and I am going. But to
catch fish you must fool them
Fool the poor fish?" asked Nurse
Jane, sadly.
"Oh, they like to be fooled!'
laughed Uncle Wiggily. You see
you must use a hook to catch fish
But if the fish see a bare hook they
will not bite it. So I must cover my
hook with bait-a. piece of meat Oh
something like that"
Il suppose" spoke the muskrat
lady, that when there is meat bait
on the hook the poor fish thinks il
is all meat and that's why he take;
it, Mr. Longears."
Exactly" said the rabbit gentle
man.
But" went on Nurse Jane
wouldn't you like to bait your hook
with a piece of cake or even a piece
of pie? Fish might like pie or cake
as we'll as meat
Say, that's a good idea" laugh
ed the bunny uncle. "Ill take some
pie bait and cake bait and meat

they may bite on the other. Hur-

GOOD WORK STARTED

Members of the Woman's Ten Thou
sand club and of the Junior Ten Thou
sand club, are to be congratulated on the
excellent program given Saturday in
connection with the first observance of
the palo verde festival
While the program was designed to
center attention on the palo verde trees,
planted throughout the city and which
are now in bloom, it is also intended to
foster greater interest in planting of
all trees, shrubbery, plants, flowers and
lawns
Ell Centre is fertile field for such an
enterprise Many of us are careless or
negligent about improving home sur
roundings and permitting rank weeds to
grow where flowers and shrubberv would
add much to the Improvement of the city.
In taking the lead to eliminate unde-
Slrable conditions and lending their eff
forts in promoting a greater interest in
more beautiful city, the two clubs are
engaging in a splendid community activ-
ity.
Saturdays program was the first &C.
casion for an annual festival which,
starting on a modest scale, it is hoped
will eventually develop into one of the
outstanding spectacles of the Southwest,
and incidentally bring into full use the
natural assets which Ell Centre has for
becoming a truly beautiful city.

LEGION TEAM
To PLAY ELKS

Elks and Legionnaires, two organ
izations which have so much in
common and in past years displayed
such a wonderful spirit of coopera-
tion and fraternal assistance in
combating mutual enemies, have at
last come to the parting of the ways,
at least here in Ell Centre.
Deadly rivalry has taken the place
of the former cooperation and de-
sire to grind each other in the dust
has ousted the traternal spirit once
so prominent.
And all of this because of base
ball, or rather a game of baseball.
The Legionnaires took the initiative
in this disruption of friendly rela-
tions by challenging the antlcred
herd to a game of indoor baseball to
be played under the arc lights OF
Wilson field week from tonight.
The gauntlet thrown down was
Immediately picked up by an Elk,
we don't know just which one, and
feverish preparations are under way
to avenge the honor thus outraged.

on until next Friday night there will
be much groanlng, grunting, pers-
piring and whatnot as the boys en-
deavor to timber up stiffened mus
cles and creaking joints to be in
