Mouse. "You don't want to help
me, you want to take my loaf OF
bread and eat it yourself. Oh, no!'
So away she ran with the big loaf
of bread before Uncle Wiggily could
tell her he had no such idea.
Also Suspicious
"My goodnesslo said Mr.. Long
ears. "As if I'd take her bread!
Well, l tried to do a good deed but
I couldn IT." So he hoped along
and next he saw little Lady Bug
trying to fly with a large lump OF
sugar that was too heavy for her.
"Oh, let me carry the sugar for
you, Lady Bug!' begged the bum
ny.
"No! Nolo buzzed the bug.
"You want to get my sugar and
eat it yourself!' So away she
flew with it, although the sugar
was so heavy it gave her a pain in
the wings to carry it.
"My goodness" exclaimed I'm
Gle Wiggily THAT Lady Bug can't
know who 1 am to think I'd take
her sugar. Never! Well, that IS
the second time I tried to do a good
deed but / couldn't. I must try
again, and I still must find an ad-
venture. &"
So the bunny gentleman hoped
along a little farther when, all at
once, he heard buzzing sound in
the bushes. He looked and saw
that the buzzing sound came from
a morning glory flower that had,
for some reason, not opened when
the sun warmed it. The morning
glory flowers open like trumpet
in the morning but close at night
And a honey bee, having gone IN
the open afternoon, had had such
a good time sucking up the sweet
Juice that he didn't fly out in
time. The glory flower closed and
made a prisoner of the bee.
A Good Deed
"But I'll let you OUT said I'M
Gle Wiggily, speaking to the bee
who could easily hear him through
the thin petals of the flower
"Once before I got an imprisoned
bee out of a flower and III do II
again. This will be my one good
scout deed" said the rabbit.
Carefully Uncle Wiggily untwist-
ed the morning glory, the petals oi
which were twisted and stuck to-
gether at the top. Out buzzed the
happy bee.
"Thank you, Uncle Wiggily, y

FARM HOME DEPARTMENT

Wednesday the 10th anniversary of
the organization of the Imperial County
Farm Home Department, the womens
section of the farm bureau, will be OBJ
served with a program in this city.
The occasion promises to be red let
ter one in the history of one of the coun-
try's most effective organizations.
Some time ago this column paid its
compliments to the Farm Home Depart
rnent, and it is pleasure again to praise
it, its membership and its fine work in
helping to build up Imperial Valley.
To a great extent the Farm Home De-
partment parallels for women living in
rural areas, the women club organiza-
tions which play such a prominent part
in the lives of those living in cities. How
ever, few will disagree that the home
department furthers the scope of its work
far beyond the social realm, teaching
and instructing its members in practical
affairs to the end that home life in the
rural areas may be better in every pos
sible way.
To the women in the rural areas this
county must look in great measure for
the spiritual and moral welfare of those
who reside therein. Men, and we make
no apologies for the statement, are good
enough in this respect as far as they go,
but they don't go far enough. We are
too much inclined to be slipshod and
prone to start out with bang and end
with fizzle. The women, and again we
make no apologies, start the job quietly,
keep at it quietly and see it through to
a finish.
This has been the outstanding charact-
eristic of the Women's Home Depart
ment 1t operates with no blare of trum-
pets, no streaming banners, but one has
only to make casual investigation to be
convinced of the splendid work it is do
ing in its chosen field.
Incidentally, Imperial County's Farm
Home Department can boast of being
the first organized in the state Through
out its Is years of existence it has been
a splendid force for good. We have no
doubt it will continue to be SUCH To its
officers and members We extend greet
ings and our sincere good wishes for its
continued success.

. -
 Washington, Sept 12.-Tex- a secret hot spot the last several days.
 Ever since the appointment of the special mediation board they have lived in hourly fear that the president would ask them to call off the strike. <
 The situation put the em- battled union chieftains in a. paradoxical position.
 They wanted government. in- teryention, considered the set ting up of the board signal victory, as giving official recog- milton to the strength and effec- tiveness of the workers militant demonstration.
 Also, the one thing they most urgently desired was an early peace overture.
 But, therein, was exactly where lay the rub.
 They were eager for settle ment negotiations, but moi, on the basis that they first call off the walkout.
 And that is exactly what they dreaded the president, citing the impartiality and fairness of his board and the eyer-present dan ger of violence, would ask them to do.
 THE DILEMMA
 Such a public appeal would put them on the horns of a desperate dilemma.
 To reject the presidents re- quest would be hazarding public sympathy and support, enable the employers to raise hue and cry that the union was defy ing the nations chief executive, and under the cloak of such clamor intensity strike-breaking operations.
 On the other hand to bow to the propOsaI raised up other no less grave dangers.
 They would lay themselves open to attack by the militant element within their ranks which really forced the strike decision-of selling out" with the additional strong possibility that the union would be split wide open.
 But even more important in the opinion of the union lead CTS, calling off the strike at the height of its fervor would be voluntarily abandoning the chief weapon that the workers are de- pending on to force the employ CTS to consider peace terms.
 Once the workers returned to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-12

the mills, the offensive would pass to the bosses, as it would be. a tremendous task to call the workers out again.
 TUG OF WAR
 A friendly, but determined. presidential tug-of-war is In progress behind the scenes. The two presidential contes- tants are, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States. and Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin.
 The cause of the rivalry is brilliant, young Lloyd Garrison, chairman of the National La- bor Relations Board.
 Prized dean of Wisconsin's law school, Garrison was s.ioaned'' by Glenn Frank to the ] federal government for three months period, which expires October i.
 But so outstanding has been Garrison's NLRB work, that President Roosevelt does not want to give him up.
 He is strongly urging Frank to extend Garrison's leave in- definitely.
 So far, however, Frank has been cold to the idea. He fears that if he allows Garrison to remain in the East, Wisconsin may lose him.
 BAD BUSINESS
 The Senate Munitions Inves- tigating committee is unusual in that, with one exception, all it's members are like hound dogs in their enthusiasm for tracking down munitions scandals. In most committees, there are seri- ous differences of opinion.
 The one exception is Senator Barbour, New Jerseys ex-prize- fighter. He has sat through the hearings, obviously distressed, his face getting longer and longer.
 Finally at the close of one hearing, he said:
 II want to ask whether you 2 think you can still sell your products after this investigation. and. if not, will other foreign firms get the business?" Business will be much more difficult,' replied, l.. Y. Spear. vice-president of the Electric Boat company.
 i. At this point Steve Raushen- bush, the committees chief in- vestigator, spoke up.
 And I would like to ask the witness,'' he said,, whether the vickers firm in England will not continue to pay you royal ties on the submarines it manu- factures for foreign countries?"
 "Yes," replied Mir Spear. '.Also," persisted Raushen- bush, would you not prefer some form of government-regu- lated munitions industry where by you would receive orders from the government of hav- ing to go to the lengths you have to get foreign business?"
 ..Yes," replied Mir Spear.
 Judging from the general sen- timent of the committee, 1t looks as if government regulation of the munitions industry Is on the way.

What More Could He Say?

It was natural that Congressman-a.- Large Charles M. Bakewell should take the Roosevelt administration to task in his keynote address to the republican state convention last night. It was to be ex- pected that he would coin cute phrases to belittle the President and his aides. They were we'll calculated to bring applause from the gathering, one upon which must have been slowly settling the realization that the New Deal was force to be reck- oned with seriously.
 Representative Bakewell displayed con- siderable courage to make such state ments as he did last night in the face of the returns from Maine of which he as we'll as those who heard him must have been we'll aware They scourged the New Deal in Maine, those hand-picked orators of the national republican party. They toured the state from one end of the other. But they failed in their mission. They almost deprived Senator Freddie" Hale, republican incumbent of three terms standing of his right to return to Washington.
 As was to be expected, there was great Glorification of Senator Frederic c. Wal colt in the course of the keynote speech. It only goes to prove that all that has been said about Connecticut republicans mak- ing desperate efforts to keep their senator in office is true. If they lose every other office in the November election they will be satisfied with the senatorship. It is the goal of their ambition. Perhaps that might explain in part the hands-off atti- tude of State Chairman Roraback, so far as the gubernatorial nomination is con- cerned.
 We will say this for Congressman Bake well so far as criticism of the New Deal and President Roosevelt goes his was an admirable effort. It was we'll delivered in the main. Good language was employed throughout. Frequent shafts of irony frightened the heavy weight of critical facts But it failed to depart from the ordinary speech of this variety. In this respect both parties suffer. Some day keynote talk will be given that will actu- ally inspire As for the situation in Con- necticut today, it is virtually unchanged.

A Symptom Of Hate

It is easy enough to be mortified by the revelations now being made before the Senate Munitions Committee. It is not nearly so easy to figure out just what ought to be done about it. What is being learned is only an amplification of previ- ous disclosures. The big munitions firms are true internationalists. They find ways of cooperating to insure bigger profits.
 They divide world markets on a truly grand scale. They get the cooperation of naval authorities, and they have a broad-minded way of exchanging patent rights. There is nothing especially new in all this; and yet the force of the disclos. ures, .echoing from the vast sounding board which Senate committee can erect, has shocked the American people very profoundly.
 For there is something about the muni- tions business which puts it in class by itself. The men who market guns, sub- marines, and bombs are not dealing in ordinary merchandise; they are dealing in sudden death, and they have proprietary interest in mass slaughter which makes their trade of direct concern to ordinary l0lk every WilcIC. FHu ySI, do tHlH6o stand today, it is hard to see precisely how the business can be reformed.
 For this great traffic in the machines of destruction is symptom of trouble, rather than cause. It is symptom of great division among the peoples of the world of ,rivalries and suspicious and hatreds and injustices, innumerable and almost insoluble.
 I Granting that the munitions makers have not been above stirring up trouble, on occasion, to boom the market, the fact remains that, for the most part, this vast trade in weapons goes on because nations Everywhere are expecting war The world, in fact, is pretty sick, and its inter- vals of sanity between spells of feverish deliriuns are not long. The munitions r1akers are complicating factor, to be Sure ]: yet the roots of the disease go be- yond them.
