Pause at the Shoreham mead
quarters at 5:47 every after
noon, you will find Mr.. Ray
Baker-laboring like slave.
Take a peep indoors at the
Birthday Ball room any eve
ming at 9:32. You will discover
Mr.. Ray Baker-toiling like a
hireling.
OF all the distinguished cit
liens who make the population
of our National Capital there is
no one who looks less like a
slave, a toiler or a hireling than
Ray Baker. Undoubtedly one
of the most charming men in
town, he is certainly one of the
best dressed. When you see
him lunching in smart hotels or
dining at the best houses, you
wish you had made your huS-
band wear a different sort Of
tie or given his last years suit
to the Salvation Army.
Ray-Baker, I almost look for
his name in the telephone book
under the "R's"-one pronoun-
ces him hyphenated-began be-
ing a distinguished and efficient
person in Washington when
Woodrow Wilson decided he
needed a Democratic director
for the United States Mint.
When they" asked Mr.. Ray
Baker to take the Craftsmanship
of the Birthday Ball, he hesi-
tated.
Gracious odness, Ray"
said Cary GraySon (Cary, bless
his heart, is just about to return
from DR.. Mayo'S sanitorium in
Rochester, Mimi, where he
went for an important opera
tion), you know certainly
somebody good has to run this
party. There never was a more
enthusiastic fellow than you.
Just go on and do it,"
That's why Ray Baker is
where he is today.

WALKER ELECTION IMPORTANT

Representation for Imperial county at
Sacramento during the next two years IS
an important matter to the voters of this
community, who should give it plenty of
consideration before going to the polls
next Tuesday.
In Clarence Walker. candidate for the
assembly, they will find an ideal man to
give this county representation of the
highest order.
Walker is a successful rancher, who
has lived in Imperial Valley from the
pioneer days, and is thoroughly familiar
with the farmers problem because he
himself is farmer-an actual farmer
who works in the fields.
He has conducted his farming opera
tionS on a business basis, and can honest
ly lay claim to being successful bus
inessman, farming in these days requir-
ing as much sagacity as operating any
non-farming business.
Walker is not unacquainted with legis-
lative matters, having given much of his
time to civic service.
He is highly respected among his neigh
bors and since being drafted for the cam
paign has made hundreds of friends in
all parts of the valley. He is cleancut,
sincere and progressive and will be a
credit to the county in the state capitol.
Above all it should be remembered
that he is opposed to the doctrines of Up
ton Sinclair Already the handwriting is
on the wall, indicating that the people of
California are not going to accept Sim
clair. To accept any of his followers
would be equally dangerous. Walkers
opponent has not only espoused the cause
of Sinclair, but has been endorsed by the
latter's newspaper as an EPIC candi-

rabbit gentleman. "You see the
days are so much shorter, now that
winter is coming, and 1 don It have
much time to hop over the fields
and through the woods. I start out
but before anything happens it is
noon and I must hop back to
lunch. So today 1 am going to
take some matches with me. In
the woods I shall build a little
camp fire and I'll roast me some
carrots. I'll eat them for my
lunch there in the woods and keep
on after adventures. In this way
I shall save much time. >
"It sounds like a good idea, -
spoke Miss Fuzzy WuZzy. So she
gave Mr.. Longears some matches
and some carrots and also some
potatoes to roast in his camp fire
in case the carrots might not be
enough.
Off and away hoped Uncle
Wiggily his pink nose shining and
twinkling like an automobile lamp.
Over the fields he looked for an
adventure but none could he find.
Hopping through the woods he also
locked for an adventure, but none
could he find.
''It is nearly noon,' said Uncle
Wiggily looking at the sun, which
was nearly over his head, and this
is always a sign it is noon. I
shall stop here in the woods, build
a fire, roast my carrots and pota-
toes and then maybe I'll have a
adventure. "
"Oh, Dear!'
The fire was soon blazing, the
carrots were soon roasting and the
potatoes were soon baking on flat
stones placed near the fire. Then,
all of a sudden, Uncle Wigg'ly
heard a little voice sadly saying:
ooh, dear; oh, dearl oh, dear! -
"Who are you and what is the
matter?" asked Uncle Wiggily, for
he could tell by the voice it was
! neither of the Bad Chaps.
