IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
JUST CHEAP STUFF

Those who have been wondering what
the Chicago fair would do this wear to
surpass the fan dance which brought it
considerable notoriety last year, had
their answer yesterday when semi
public nudist wedding was performed in
one of the concessions.
This is an age of liberalism. Even in
times not so liberal there have been
nudists, so that they are not exactly new.
POSSIBLY there are many who sincerely
believe in nudism the same as others be-
lIeve in vegetarianism or going without
hats.
However there are certain fundament-
ais of decent society which should and
90 have more bearing on the public well
tare than the whims or desires of a few.
II some want to go without any clothes
they have right to do so but they
should do it where they will not offend
the desires of the majority.
Prior to the wedding at the fair, which
was religious ceremony, the princi-
pals had gone through civil marriage
before magistrate, being fully clothed
at the time. This fact smears the "re-
llgious" ceremony with the taint of in
decency, performed chiefly for the no.
toriety it would bring the principals, the
officiating Clergyman" and operators
VI IHS COHCcSSlOu anu OF course the CHI
cago fair.
The bride and groom and six attend
ants were entirely nude. The Clergy
man" wore a goatskin.
Newspapermen, fully clothed, were
present as witnesses. Motion picture
cameramen, fully clothed, were also
present and were busy grinding away
during the ceremony. The presence of
representatives of the press and the
movies clinches the belief that the cere-
mony was not performed in sincerity but
was merely bit of low and disgusting
ballyhoo.
Those who have visited the Chicago
fair are profuse with their praise for the
wonderful exhibitions in manufacturing
art, the sciences and in fact every field
OF human endeavor. 1t does seem that
fair with such excellent material to
offer would not have to stoop to smut to
attract customers. The fair management
asserts that it knew nothing about the
nudist wedding. It further adds that it
wouldn't have done anything about it if
it had known
The latter statement is an excellent
example of the low state of public NOR
ais.
A lynching in New England? The
chuckles come from south of the Mason
Dixie line.

UNCLE WIGGILY CAN'T GET
DOWN

"Well, we got out of that pickle
nicely said Uncle Wiggily to Mr..
Twistytail, the fat pig gentleman,
as the two friends hurried along
through the woods.
"Indeed We did," agreed Mr..
Longears, laughing. 81 guess we
gave the Bob Cat a surprise. Hal
Ha! Hail.
"His whiskerS curled when he
saw us climbing down the rope
LADDER grunted the pig. "But
what is going to happen next?'
"Oh, I'll go back to my tree
house after the Bob Cat climbs
down and runs away" said the
rabbit. g.
Uncle Wiggily, as you know, had
built himself house in the tree.
He got up to it by climbing rope
ladder which was fastened to a
branch with hammock hooks. But
the Bob Cat needed no ladder tc
climb tree. He got up by stick
ing his sharp claws in the bark
Then he tried to catch the bunny
and pig. But they quickly climbed
down the ladder and ran safely
away.
| Uncle Wiggily stayed away from
! his tree house for two or three
days. Then, finding he wanted a

ALL SHOULD COOPERATE

Z While it will do no good to get hys-
lterical over water conditions in Imper-
Nial Valley, it is only common sense to
recognize the fact that the situation is
serious and that the cooperation of all
will be necessary to see us through the
next several weeks of stringency if rain
does not come in the upper basin of the
Colorado before that time.
Here in Ell Centro it begins to look as
though lawns are destined to go by the
boards. The city engineer has asked
that citizens refrain from sprinkllng
lawns and urges that only sufficient
amount of water to keep trees and shrubs
from dying be used.
1t is disconcerting of course, to spend
stime and money developing a lawn only
to have it ruined. However, it has about
come down to a matter of having either
lawns or water for other domestic pur-
poses and the latter, under the circum-
stances, have the call on the right of
way.
No hard and fast rule has been set up
as yet by the city. 1t has merely asked
the cooperation of the citizens. Later, if
it is deemed necessary, more stringent
step may be taken. The right-mnded
citizen has only one thing to do and that
is to recognize the soundness of the citys
request, and comply with it to the best
of his ability.
Lawns destroyed during the summer,
can be replaced eventually. 1t is better
80 have them go than to be put on rations
NJ drinking water, and water for other
psa yoses.
Fvr the information of all, the city
health officer declares that no house
holder in Ell Centre need fear about the
purity of the city's water supply. 1t is
tested daily throughout the year and the
test is being made even more frequently
at present in order to make certain that
there is nothing wrong. The shortage
has nothing whatever to do with the
quality of the water.
Nobody is going to die of thirst here
this summer, unless he is foolish enough
to go out in the desert without water.
1t is certainty that we will all be able
to take the usual amount of baths and
that sufficient water for household pur-
poses will be available. But there should
be no waste. The cooperation of all will
see us through the period of emergency
|. without any great difficulty.
Everything is going topsy-turvy. Even
the "Poles" are flying across the ocean
instead of being at the top and bottom
of the world.

planned on staying in his tree
house the rest of the day to think
UP a new adventure. So he sat
down on three-legged stool and
began to eat a lettuce sandwich
Nurse Jane had made for him.
All of a sudden, as Uncle Wiggily
was chewing away, he heard a
noise on the ground down below
The noise was made by animal
boys shouting. Uncle Wiggily heard
the voices of some of his own rab-
bits.
"Oh, look at the ladder in the
tree!' cried Buster.
"Let' IS pull it down and have
some fun with it,, shouted Custer
Before Uncle Wiggily could lay
aside his lettuce sandwich and hop
outside his tree house to tell the
children not to touch his ladder
the mischief was done. TWitching
the lower end Of the ladder, Buster
and Custer looSened it from where
it was hooked on a branch and
away they hoped with it. The,
were so excited they didn't notice
the house.
"Come back! Come back with
my ladder!' cried Uncle Wiggily
jumping up and down on the plat
form outside. "Bring it back! ]
cam t get down! can't get down!'
But the animal boys were max
ing so much noise, laughing and
shouting, they didn't hear him
Away they ran with the rope lad
der.
Can't Get Down
ooh. I can't get down." said
poor Uncle Wiggily.
Truly he couldn't It. 1t was toe
far for him to jump to the ground
and. being a rabbit, he couldn u
climb down the tree as cat can
do. There Mr.. Longears was, held
a sort of a prisoner in the tree.
"What am I to do?' he thought
eff the Bob Cat should come after
me now and climb up the tree to
get me, I couldn' It escape. There
is no ladder for me to climb down
as I did before"
I don't know what would have
happened to Uncle Wiggily except
that, as the rabbit BOYS were play
ing with the ladder farther off in
the woods, Mr.. Twistytail happen
ed to pass and see them.
"Why, that IS your fathers tree
house ladder!' grunted the pig
eff he is up in the house. he can t
get down without this ladder! Take
it back!'
"Oh, we didn It know that!' said
Buster. So they took the ladder
back. Mr.. Longears climbed down
and all was well. And if the street
lamp will go down cellar to show
the ice man where the snow shovel
is hiding in the coal bin, I'll tell
you about Uncle Wiggily's noise
makers.
