UNCLE WIGGILY'S SLOW RIDE

Uncle Wiggily had pain in his
left hind leg. He felt it as he was
popping away from his seashore
cottage one morning to look for an
adventure. 1t was such a pain as
to make him cry:
"Ouchl"
"Oh, my dear!" said his wife,
who was watching her husband,
you shouldn't go adventuring to-
day"
"I think it will do me good" "
said Mr.. Longears. IF I find an
exciting adventure I may forget
my pain. I think it is nothing but
rheumatism, and I'll take the red,
white and blue striped crutch Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy gnawed for me

brought it with me-"

rabbit lady.

rheumatism crutch, loppity, loppity,

down the sandy beach before he
suddenly saw what looked to be a
large stone just ahead of him.

BOUND TO FAIL

San franclsco'S general strike ended
In the only way it could end-in failure
A strike, to be successful, must have
the sympathy of the public and the pub
lie cannot give moral support to a gen.
eral strike which, by its very nature,
makes the public its enemy.
The American system of government
despite all its faults, has been generally
satisfactory to the great maj jority of the
American people. They elect or appoint
those to whom power is delegated and
clothe them with the authority necessary
to guide our political subdivisions.
When this authority is usurped by any
individual or group, be it labor union,
secret organization or any other agen-
cy, it is direct assault on American IN
stitutions and ideals, which cannot be toll
Grated if these institutions and ideals are
to be maintained.
1t is such unlawful seizure of author
ity, essential to the success of general
strike. which dooms it to failure. 1t is
contrary to American principles. People
will stand an invasion of their rights
Just so long, then they rise up and over
throw the invaders if they are the kind
of people they should be.
San Francisco, though somewhat slow
to start, moved swiftly once 1t realized
fully the menace of a general strike.
1t recognized the fact that the strike
was not strike but an attempt by the
"alien radicals" as Governor Merriam
called them, to seize the opportunity
created by the longshoremens strike to
impose themselves and their principles
upon the people. .,o

American principle of fair play, We fino

MOORE TO BE
PRESENT AT
NRA MEETING

r. P. Moore has been commits
stoned by President w. H. Tyler,
Jr., of the Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce, to represent that Or
ganization at a conference to be
held this afternoon with General
Hugh johnson at the Hollywood
Bowl in Los Angeles. In a tele-
gram received at the chamber of
commerce last week Tyler was re-
quested to have representatives at
this meeting and Moore, past
president of the chamber, was
chosen for this purpose and has
gone to Los Angeles for the con-
ference.
The meeting will be devoted
chiefly to matters relating to the
NRA, it is understood, and much
good is expected to come from it.
as men from all parts of SouthZh
California will be in attendance to
discuss the effectiveness of the
NRA in this section of the country.
Moore took an active part in the
organizing of the NRA in Ell Cen
tro and was in charge of the
speakers campaign during the in
itial drive to sign up merchants
and householders. Upon his re-
turn from today's meeting he will
report on plans which may be
brought up for changes or i'm
provements in the general NRA
set up by General Johnson and
will undoubtedly have some sug-
gestions which will be of interest
to the merchants of Ell Centro.

PITY THE MIDDLE WEST

IL there is consolation in the old say
ing that misery loves company" then
Imperial Valley, in its present water
shortage, has plenty of consolation, for
1t certainly has plenty of company
One drought, serious enough, is of
comparatively recent date Other areas
OF the country, particularly in the
middle west, have been on short water
ratlons for months, and have little or no
encouragement for an improvement.
Streams have run dry for the first
time in the white mans history; so have
wells and "never-failing springs. Crops
have withered in the fields, cattle have
died and so have humans, for the lack of
water has been accompanied by an in
tenslve and devastating hot spell.
1t Will not bring us any water to know
that others are without it, but it may
help our morale to know that others are
really suffering and have been suffer
ing from the same cause which afflicts
us.
The middle west farmer has had a
long, hard and particularly aggravating
series Of misfOrtunes His crops and
herds, even when plentiful, have brought
him no money for nearly six years. He
has been beset by evils of nature and
economic evils until the wonder is that
there is farmer left at all in the great
central basin.
If the very worst should come to US,
re can struggle along somehow until
water can be stored behind Boulder dam
early next year. We have that to look
forward to and to encourage US. The
middle west farmer has no such encour-
agement. He knows that drought in that
area can drag out for years. 1t has done
it in the past and may do it this time
He is living proof of the statement
that no matter how miserable we may be
we can usually find someone more miser-
able. If he knew his water shortage was
to be limited to a matter of months he
would feel that he was getting pretty
fair deal But that would only solve
one of his problems. When we get wa
ter practically all of our problems will
be solved. We are not so badly off after

CRAIG To BE
Me- New SPEAKER

LOS ANGELES, Dec. q U.P) -
With drawal of Assemblyman
Charles w. Lyon of Los Angeles as
a candidate for the speakership of
the state assembly left the field
virtually clear today for Edward
Craig of Orange.
The Orange candidates chances
were enhanced when Lyon with
drew with a pledge of support to
his Republican colleague.
81 withdraw in Ted Craig's favor" "
Lyon said, "in the interests of har-
mony in the Merriam administra-
ton. Should we have continued to
compete and split the support, there
was possibility of undesirable re-
suits"
The latter presumably was a
reference to the Upton Sinclair Epic
faction. The Democrats had been
hopeful of gaining the important
speakership post through a split in
Craig and Lyon followers. The Re
publican coalition, however, is ex-
pected to defeat their campaign.
Craig's election woud mark the
second time in nearly a generation
that the speakership has gone to a
Southern California assemblyman.

Up TO ALL OF US

In hanging up new high mark for
traffic fatalities during this year, I'M
perial county is keeping in step with the
rest of the nation, as reference to the
compilation of figures on page one of
this issue will indicate.
These figures, prepared by the Nation
al Safety Council, from statistics of II
large cities, cover only an IL months per-
iod for 1884, yet the total of deaths is
224 greater than last year
Only three of the cities, Pittsburgh,
New York and Milwaukee. show decreas-
es. Chicago, with an increase of 1O3,
leads the field.
The reader may be misled, because
these figures are from various parts OF
the country, into believing that they do
not concern US. They don't probably,
but the figures for California do. These
show 2,222 deaths for 1884 against 1902
for 1888, an increase of 224, or "A per
cent-a greater percentage of increase
than for any of the cities shown.

SNAKE AS PET
NOT POPULAR

When police were notified late
Yesterday afternoon that man on
South First street was harboring a
large rattlesnake in his home as a
pet and that, Furthermore, the rep
Vile was not penned up and con-
stituted a continual menace to the
children of the neighborhood, Of
ficers were at first inclined to dis
believe the story.
Coming as it did the day after
Christmas, police were of the opin-
ion that this story was on a par
with others of pink elephants and
other brain children brought into
being through too frequent imbibing
of giggle soup or other potent
draughts which serve to conjure up
strange pictures on the brain OF the
imbiber.
However, service must be render
ed at all costs and SO an investiga-
ton was made. The officer whose
duty it was to track down this rat
tier returned with report that
the story was true, that is he had
found the nest occupied by the pet
but the snake was absent at the
time and the investigator was told
that Sir Rather would not return
to his haunts until eventide.
The snakes owner was not at
home when the police visited his
place but he was contacted later on
and reminded that he must provide
better housing facilities for his pet
the main part of which should con-
sist of a strong wire cage which
would prevent the snake from roam
ing about the neighborhood.
