fronted him with an official notice
that his wife had filed proceed
ings in a Columbus court for a
mothers pension. He said he mar
ried the Ohio girl when she was
16.
Il told Dorothy all about it last

ney told me that in my place
he would go ahead and marry Dot,
so we filed a notice of intention"

ENCOURAGING CRIME

Is the state of California going into
the business of encouraging men to be-
come criminals, or has it merely Judi
clary that is not good at mental arith-
metic?
The double-barreled question arises
from the decision of Judge Malcolm c.
Glenn of the superior court of Sacra-
mento county in divorce case which
was tried before him this week.
His honor, in granting divorce to
woman, stipulated that she must retain
her husband, or eX-husband. as manager
Of their furniture store. Further, he set
the husbands or eX-huSband's salary at
S125 month. Still further the Judge
decreed that the husband, or eX-huSband,
must pay his eX-wife S75 a month and
also SIS a month toward the support of
their two minor children.
1t can't be denied that SIS plus SIS
makes total of $3.50 per month which
the husband, or eX-husband, must pay
out. He is allowed salary of S125 per
month. Where, oh where, is he to get
that other S25?
Under such conditions it is not likely
that he could borrow it, for under the
courts ruling there is no means by which
he can pay it back, and borrowing is a
tough proposition these days anyhow.
The only alternative is to get out and
steal 25 bucks every month
The decision of the court is similar to
the stand of the bright man in our home
town who thought building a new school
was eXtravagant although the old school
was overcrowded and dangerous to the
lives of the pupils attending it.
He finally agreed that a new school
should be built but argued that it should
be built out of the bricks in the old
school and that the children should con-
tinue to go to school in the old building
until the new one was built

though the door wasn't very wide.
Then we ate a lot of acorns and
now we are so fat and plump and
big that we can't squeeze through
the door hole. Oh, wee! Wee! Wee"
Never mind. I'll help you out, y
said Uncle Wiggily. Quickly ne
made the hole in the hollow tree
bigger, from the outside. The pigs
couldn't do it as they were SO fat
they couldn't get near it. And when
the door hole was made bigger, Cur
ly and Floppy could easily get out.
Oh, but they were fat! They thank
ed Mr.. Longears and ran on to

Strikers Riot
In Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS, May 19. U.D -
As 5000 Minneapolis truckers voted
on arbitration measures, violence
broke out in the produce market
district today. One man was in
jured critically, and several others
were struck by stones.
The strikers were seeking to stop
the movement of vegetables and
other perishable foodstuffs from the
market district. One truck managed
to get away from pickets, but was
stopped by others and demolished
Nearly 1000 police and pickets
were in the district. The pickets
were in an angry mood, throwing
stones at truck leaders and drivers.
Most Of the trucks that were at
tempting TO run the blockade were
owned by a chain store firm in the
city.

In the one week that the Oriental
troupe has played at the A. B. w.
club in Mexicali the artists have at
tanned for themselves vast popular
ity with their diversified entertain
ment.
Tonight they will offer a brand
new program designed to increase
the tremendous reception which
they have already been given. In
the opening number will be seen
the entire group consisting of VIM
cent Yerro, Paul Wing, Dorothy and
Helen TakahaShi, Suzanna Kim and
Fumi Tanaka.
In coolie coats and pointed StraWs
they will give their Interpretation

lows with a Chinese cabaret num-
Der and Miss Tanaka comes on with
a buck and wing speciality. Suzanna
Kim, who bears the distinction of
being the only Oriental fan dancer
in the country will be costumed in
pearl beads and a new set of large
fluffy feathers.
Mississippi Holiday" new song
is the offering of Helen TakahaShi
whose singing and excessively fra
gile and diminutive person has de-
lighted hundreds of patrons night
ly Dorothy Takahashi and Paul
Wing, programmed in a "Shim,
Sham Strut" are certain to continue
their popularity as the best dancers
on the floor. Dorothy, one Of the
hardest workers in the troupe, has
been given tremendous applause for
the marked grace and apparent ease
with which she accomplishes her toe
dance. Paul Wings eccentric style
of dancing needs no remarking. It's
excellent.
Vincent Yerro appears again with
a Spanish song or two and a num-
ber of impersonations including Mae
West, Maurice Chevalier, Greta
Carlo and Zasu Pitts. The finale
is surprise Zulu number in which

UNCLE WIGGILY HELPS THEM
OUT

Curly and Floppy Twistytail were
not in school. They had started for
the hollow stump where the Lady
Mouse Teacher was to hear their
lessons but the cute little pigs ne
yer arrived.
"I saw them in the woods, an hour
before school time, said Uncle Wig
gily to Miss Mouse. They told me
they were going to look for some
thing to eat and were then coming
here"
"I hope" said Miss Mouse in a
low voice so none Of the other pupils
would hear, Il hope no Bad Chaps
ate the little pigs up by mistake.
That would be dreadful
1T surely would" agreed Mr..
Longears, But" he said, in a more
cheerful voice, II think what hap
pened is this. Curly and Fqoppy
found SO much TO eat that it made
them sleepy. 1 may find them asleep
in the woods"
It hope you do" said Miss Mouse.
IF I do" said the rabbit gentle
man, II will wake them up and
send them on to school. They will De
late, but better late than never, you
know"
"Oh, Of course" said Miss Mouse.
"But suppose you don't find them
asleep in the woods?'
Then I'll go to their house and
look for them" laughed the bunny
uncle. They may have found so
much to eat that they thought this
was Saturday and have gone back
home"
Perhaps" said Miss Mouse. DO
go look for Curly and Floppy."
So Uncle Wiggily hoped away
from the Hollow Stump School and
began searching in the woods for
two little pigs.
Uncle Wiggily looked under the
trees for Curly and Floppy. He look
ed under the bushes and he even
looked in clumps Of deep weeds,
which were beginning to grow very
fast now because they had been wet
by April showers. The weeds weren't
exactly May flowers but they grew
fast just the same.
But nowhere could Uncle Wig
gily find the little lost pigs 50 he
thought that perhaps they had for
gotten about school and had gone
back to their home.
III Just stop at the pigpen and
ask Mrs. Twistytail if Curly and
Floppy are there" said Mr.. Long
ears 10 himself.
But when he knocked at the door
of the pen where the fat lady pig
lived, she said Curly and Floppy
weren't there. She was as much
surprised as Uncle Wigigly was, o.
the Lady Mouse Teacher, that the
little pig boys weren't at school.
"Oh, what could have happened
TO my darlings?" grunted Mrs.
Twistytail.
Now don't worry" said Uncle
Wiggily. i will find them for you

ROCK CRUSHER NEEDED

In the news columns of this edition
readers will find Sheriff Campbells
statement with reference to the separa-
tion of Communist prisoners from 9TH
ers at the county jail.
This column commented on the need
of such segregation earlier IN the week
and is glad to give the same publicity
to the fact that the sheriff has been TAX
ing no chances of COmmunistlc school
being conducted in his public boarding
house.
In discussing the situation with the
sheriff he lamented the fact that the
rock crusher out at Superstition noun
tain is not available Just now for opera
ton by county prisoners.
The sheriff's lament will be Joined by
MANY others in the valley. Nothing
would serve better to discourage inva-
sion by Communist agitators than the
knowledge that a stretch of work on the
rock-crusher in the invigorating climate
of Superstition mountain awaited them.
Despite their loud bowling for work
ers rights" few Communist agitatorS
have any liking for manual labor. If a
few of them could be given work on the
rock crusher. the word would soon
spread and Imperial Valley would be
given a wide berth.
Perhaps some way can be arranged
to have a pick and shovel brigade in
stalled at Superstition mountain or down
in the Yuma valley. 1t would be good
insurance against further labor troubles.
In the absence of any such arrange
ments the sheriff is doing good job
by keeping his Communist guests in en-
elusive quarters.
