Yes, there were pumpkins in the
field and, to his delight, Uncle Wig

quite yellow and ripe. He gnawed
it loose from the vine stem and
tried to pick it up.
But the pumpkin was so heavy
that, try as he did, Uncle Wiggily
could not lift it to carry it to his

it. The bunny grunted and groan-

"Never s-Sud,' he said, painting
for breath, "when I get the pump
kin to the top of the hill it will
roll down very easily"
After a while Uncle Wiggily rolled
the pumpkin to the top of the hill.
He was going to sit down and rest
but, all of sudden, that pumpkin
began to roll down the other side
of the hill. Faster and faster and
faster it rolled until it was going
like a bicycle.
"Hi. there! Stop Halt Wait

But he couldn It catch up to it and
all of a sudden, the pumkin rolled
against big stone and broke into

ANSWER FOR REAL DEMOCRATS

Democrats, disturbed by the nomina-
tion of Upton Sinclair for governor, and
wondering what they should do with
their ballot in November, may obtain
some helpful information from the fol-
lowing letter addressed to the editor of
The Press:
For the past several months you have
been getting from me regular releases of
news items and material favorable to the
Democratic gubernatorial candidacy of
George Creel. He lost the nomination to
the Socialist-Communist masquerader,
Upton Sinclair, but real Democrats are
not abandoning their ideals
Here is the story of the Democratic
organization which expects to beat Up
ton Sinclair, using Frank F. Merriam as
the medium. We can't have Creel, we
won't have Sinclair. We desire to make
sure that the rest of the country be in
formed that California does not have the
dose of Mysteries indicated by the pri-
mary vote. We still have our feet on the
ground-despite the organized minority
that took our nomination a few weeks
ago."
(Signed) j. F. Hall.
Continuing, Mr.. Hall advises, "Califor-
mia Democrats who do not recognize
Upton Sinclair as a true member of their
party, are banding together in an organ
ization known as American Democracy
of California and pledged to the defeat
of Upton Sinclair.
Official primary returns indicate
that the ONLY POSSIBLE MEDIUM
FOR THE DEFEAT OF SINCLAIR
AND THE SAVING OF THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY IN CALIFORNIA IS
FRANK F. MERRIAM, the advisory COM
mittee declared as it opened campaign
offices and launched the anti Sinclair
fight. Members of the advisory COM
mittee include some of the best known
Democratic and civic leaders in Los An
geles county, with prominent Democrats
in other counties swinging into line daily.
'SINCLAIR IS NOT AND NEVER
HAS BEEN A DEMOCRAT. HIS ELEC-
TION WOULD RESULT IN ABSOLUTE
RUIN OF THE STATE. MASQUER-
AIDING AS A DEMOCRAT HE HAS
STOLEN THE NOMINATION AND
WE MUST BAND TOGETHER TO
SHOW HIS FOLLOWERS, WHO HAVE
BEEN PROMISED THE SUN, MOON
AND STARS, THAT HE is A CHARL-
ATAN WHO is WILLING TO PROM
ISE ANYTHING IF 1T WILL MAKE
HIM A VOTE"
1t is difficult to believe that Democrats
cherishing the ideals of true American
ism, as do all real Americans regardless
of political affiliation, will blindly fol-
low the dictates of party and cast their
ballots for Sinclair, who, in the past, has

Athletic Notes
From Central

Although the Spartans showed a
decided improvement in Fridays
game, Coach w. S. Taylor is still
dissatisfied with the work in sew
eral departments and will drill the
SQUAD in an attempt to overcome
these weak points before the game
with Coachella.
Scrimmage this afternoon will
center in defense against forward
passes.
The type of defense Coach Tay-
lor will try to perfect was demon
strated effectively in last weeks
game by Furbass, who, in the lest
five minutes of play, made several
tackles, each time throwing his man
for a loss.
Stafford and Gibson, the two reg
ular ends, are out of the game in
definitely because of injuries re-
ceived last week. Stafford sustained
broken collar bone and will not
play again this year, while Gibson's
temperance on the gridiron de-
pends upon the seriousness of his
knee injury, an X-ray Of which will
be taken this afternoon.
Defense against end runs will al
so come in for a good bit of prac-
tice this week, since most of Yu-
mas gains were made that way.
Edgar who has been appointed
acting captain by the coach for the
last two games, is doing nice job
on defense and promises to be one
of the Spartans' best men this
season.

WASHINGTON, Oct. /. --Presi-
dent Roosevelt has ended countless
controversies among government
departments over geographic names
and spellings.
A group of experts, known as
the advisory committee of graphic
names, has been named by Harold

It's decision will be binding and no

Improvement and simplification
of American place names will be
among the groups objectives. Lo-

names of early settlers or to com
memorate historical events should
apply TO the committee.

however, need not fear that the

first reviewing historical back
