the first.
This must be it, - said the Fox.
So he Waded in up to his chin and
Tapped up some of the water on his
tongue.
81 aBah!o he exclaimed. cit IS
fresh and not salty. This can It
be itlp
+ So he Travelled on farther and
farther and at last he came to such
a large body of water that from
where he stood on the shore he
could not see the far edge.
This must be the Ocean, -
snarled the Fox. "I'n wade in
and taste it. If it IS salty I'll know
Uncle Wiggily is around here and
I'll go looking for him.. -
Truly Was the Ocean
So the Fox Waded out into the
water and this time it truly was
the Ocean. And, what is more, Un-
Gle Wiggily was right there on the
sand hunting for pink shells. Look
ing up from his shell work, the
rabbit gentleman saw the Fuzzy
Fox getting ready to wade out into
the Ocean But the Fox, having
his back toward Mr.. Longears, did
not see him, luckily.
"Ohy my goodness sighed poor
Uncle Wiggily First it was the
Bob Cat and now it's the Fox. I
pushed the Bob Cat under water
when he was tasting it to see if it
was salty. But I can't push the
Fox. He is too far out from shore
for me to reach him, even if I
dared.''
By this time the Fox had waded
out into the Ocean until the water
was up to his chin. Then he stuck
out his tongue to taste it.
Hurrayi' howled the Foxa 1t IS

I'll catch Uncle Wiggily!o He
turned to wade back to shore, but
just then a big wave caught him

By United PreSs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-Lloyd
Garrison of the new national labor
relation board, if the University of
Wisconsin will spare him. is likely
to become one of big figures of the
Roosevelt administration.
Garrison has impressed Washing
ton with his ability and attitude.
He bows to no man. Gen. Hugh
S. johnson even doesn't frighten
him. The university wants him to
come back this fall, but GSrrison
hopes that some arrangement can
be worked out SO he may stay here.
He is dean of the university law
schools. He has pugnacious chin
and mouth, is partially bald and
always wears white shirts.
PRINCE Kaya of Japan was an
impressive sight when he reached
the White House for tea last week.
He was resplendent in the uniform
of a major in the japanese caYal-
ry. His aide similarly was bedeck-
ed. A long sword dangled from
his belt. He checked it however
at the door.
So did the aide. Then the two,
accompanied by nattily dressed
Princess Kaya went upstairs for
tea in the Roosevelt IS private liy-
ing room.
The President sat on couch. He
and the prince talked about deep
sea fishing. Both liked the sport.
The President also recalled that

egg beater and stood him on his
head and almost turned him in
side out. And then the wave wash
ed the Wading Fox far out in the
Ocean, and Uncle Wiggily, safe on
shore, jumped up and down for
joy that he WASH It caught by the
Bad Chap.
"Thank you, Ocean Wave, for
saving me, - said the rabbit gen.
tleman.
So the Fox was washed out to
sea and he is there yet if he hasn't
come back. But I fear he has, and
so we may expect more trouble
from him. But this time he didn It
get Mr.. Longears. And if the ice
pick will pull some bananas from
the cherry tree I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily cutting the
grass. I hope you will like it.

He wade d out

He woded out
how to get to the ocean, just as
he did the Bob Cat. I'll go ask
him.
This he did and the Worm said
in low voice
fYou must travel along, Mr.
Fox, until you come to large body
of water"
'Will it be larger than the Duck
Pond?' asked the Fox, remember
ing how he had caught many ducks
on that water.
Salty Water
"Oh, much larger" said the
Worm. "Besides. it is salty water,
which the Duck Pond isn't
chow will I know the water is
salty?" asked the Fox.
"You must wade in, just as a
dog does, and lap up some of the
water on your tongue" said the
Worm. "If the water tastes salty
then it is the Ocean and Uncle
Wiggily will be near there"
1ndnkS, DarKed the Fox,
skipping away.
The Worm intended no harm in
telling the Fox how to find Uncle
Wiggily The Worm didn't know
the Bad Chap wanted to catch the
rabbit gentleman TO eat him But
that IS what the Fox wanted to do.
So he started to look for the salty
Ocean, running up hill and down
dale over the fields and through
the woods. Soon he came TO body
Of water which seemed, TO him,
much larger than the Duck Pond.
The Fox waded in up TO his chin
and Tapped some Of the water on
his tongue.

Dear Sir:
I note in the papers a news items
concerning your activities in behalf
of Highway No. so. l wish to help
you on some points as I have a
business here in Yuma and am
very much concerned over the high
way.
Mr.. Griffith and I were formerly
in San Diego. The place you need
signs most is before you get to
Lordsburg on Highway No. 80, as
Phoenix has most of the gas sta
tions in Lordsburg directing traffic
by way of Phoenix and then Phoe-
nix sends them on into Los Angeles
by way of Blythe. know this to
be a fact.
l went to Phoenix and investigat-
ed and they sent me over the
Blythe highway. I went to see
what the road is like and unless
some more advertising is done by
us Highway No. 30 is doomed from
Lordsburg west. Highway No. go is
all paved but about 80 miles, and
while it does not seem shorter they
have more peopie pulling for it.
I was informed when in Lords
burg about the Benson cutoff and

his great-great grandfather visited
Japan once in whaling ship. He
told also how his ancestor had res
cued some castaway japanese fish
ermen. The President later pulled
out some japanese prints.
"A charming man, the Presi-
dent" the prince remarked later.
The treasury hasn't any figures
on it, but officials have an idea
that quarters are being boarded.
For the first quarter this year the
mints turned out record num-
Der of "two-bitp pieces.

a great deal to say about Sonora

COLLINS ENDORSED

Because we believe c B. Collins has
made good during his term as county
superintendent of schools, and because
this paper also believes public officials
who have given proof of efficiency
should be retained, The Press endorses
him for the primary election.
At the general election four years ago
The Press gave its support to his oppon-
ent at that time, who also happens to be
his only opponent in the present in
stance.
The switch in endorsements is justi-
fled by close contact with Superintend-
ent Collins during the past four years
and observation of his work as head of
the county's schools. He has given the
county an able and efficient administra-
tion during a particularly trying time
and in our opinion is entitled to continue
his work because of the fine way he has
handled school affairs
He has maintained close touch with
conditions in all of the schools under his
jurisdiction, visiting them frequently
and making suggestions as to ways in
which they might be improved. The
limitations of "office hours have been
ignored and on numerous occasions ne
has labored far into the night on mat
ters connected with his office.
The Press has only the highest regard
for the ability of his opponent but feels
that an official who has made good, who
is faithful and conscientious in the per-
formance Of his duty, is deserving of its
support and that his record is the only
basis on which such support should be
accorded or refused. 1t is satisfied that
Mr.. Collins fully deserves such support
as it can give to him.

EASTERN FIVE HELD
SURE TITLE winner
Heavy Choice Despite That
Central Is in Deadlock
for Series Lead.

THAT swanky horizon blue
hat their popular assistant
i principal, John Paul COL
lins, is affecting, may have
something to do with it, or it may
be the fact their equally popular
principal, Charles Hart, is careful
to watch all games from the same
seat, high in the north stand, a
new vantage point for him.
Regardless of the why and wherefores,
though, Eastern Highs basket ball team
apparently has thrown off a PSYCHOLOGY
ical jinx which for some time has been
q bugaboo to teams wearing the Light
Blue.
And the best bet is that it was sheer
class that enabled Coach Mike Kelly's
charges to triumph over Tech yester-
day. 1927. after entering the game a
favorite. Last Fall Eastern was the
pre-series choice to win the foot ball
title but failed to live up to expecta-
tionS, losing to Tech and being held
to tie by Central
Then little more than two weeks
ago 1t started the basket ball Series a
tavorite to win the flag, but right off
the reel was bumped off by Tech in a
1870 upset. 1t appeared then that
Eastern again was to find the going
tough. that it simply was impossible for
the Capitol Hill boys to come through
when most people expected them. But
Yesterday Kelley's pupils gave Old Man
Psychology a swift and decisive kick in
the pantaloonS and won handily.
Central also was victorious yesterday
but had to rally with all it had to put
down q furiously-struggling Western
quint, 34-27. in the opening game of
the double header.
Eastern and Central now are tied for
first place in the flag race, each with
four wins and one defeat, but few are
the series followers who doubt that the
Lincoln Parkers will not just coast to
the title, taking Western, Roosevelt and
Central in stride.
THERE was no stopping those East
erners yesterday Grabbing the
lead in the opening stages they
ter and steadily added to their ad-
vantage as the game progressed.
Led by Tommy Nolan and Dizzy
Dean. who stormed the basket for 10
points apiece, and Tom Davis, center.
who rang up IL. Eastern put on an
exhibition Of team play that for
smoothness has not been equaled in the
series for some time. Nolan, whose
passing has been a feature Of East
ern's play all season, never shown to
better advantage.
Western threw a big scare into Gen.
trail, staging scoring spree in the
second quarter that put the George
towners ahead, 1913, at the half. after
trailing. 7-2, at the first period But
then as changes were made in the
Western combination Central got going
and as the third quarter ended had
regained the lead at 1924 Coach Bert
Coggins' boys gradually widened their
margin the remainder Of the way.

Dixie RIVALS MEET
AT BOXING TONIGHT

in Blacksburg Ring
BY the Associated Press.

n ICHMOND. Va, January 27.-Vir-
IN ginia boxers, their feet firmly
planted on the trail to a fourth
Southern conference championship, will
fight 1t out with North Carolina at
Charlottesville tonight in the headliner
on the loops sports card.
Coach Johnny Larowe's lads who have
made good copy for Old Dominion
sports editors-long since chagrined by
the almost monotonous regularity with
which old North State teams have
whipped Virginia competitors on basket
ball court and gridiron-will face one
Of their toughest tests of the year.
Added to the keen battling to be ex-
pected from the meeting of two closely
matched contenders will be a rivalry
that has existed for decades between
the schools
There will be the same sort of rivalry
to add sparkle to the dual meet at
Blacksburg between Virginia Military
and the Gobblers of Virginia Tech who
are eager to give their departing coach,
Dick Esleeck, something pleasant to re-
member them by. Esleeck leaves to take
up new duties as coach and teacher at
Hampton, Va. High School.
Another episode in the interstate
rivalry will be the meeting of North
Carolina States basket ball team and
V. P. rs battle-scarred quintet at
Raleigh.
But most Of the faithful will turn
their eyes to Charlottesville to witness
a renewal of the dual that was fought
to A deadlock at Chapel Hill last
year.

I'VE have to take this matter of

man, in promulgating the new rules,
because the State law governing
both boxing and wrestling lays down
definite regulations. We have the

much Of it is genuine and how much
is otherwise. But we cannot avoid

RICE APT TO TAKE
BERTH WITH TRIBE
Vet Released by Mats Says
Offer Is Best of Several
Under Consideration.

q AM RICE, after outfelding
for the Nationals in 10
~ American League cam
paigns, probably will do his
base ball playing for the Indians
of Cleveland this year.
The popular veteran, whose
recent release by the Washington
club occasioned no little surprise
admitted this morning that an
offer from the Indians was the
best of several he had under con-
sideration and he very likely
would line up with them.
No contract has been sent him by
the Cleveland club, Rice said, but his
services have been sought by Billy
Evans, the Indians general manager.
That Cleveland is eager to get the
veteran was indicated by a statement
made yesterday in Richmond by Wal
ter Johnson. The former Washington
pitching star and manager, now pilot
ing the Indians, said Sam might be
signed to play in part of the games in
the Indians short right field"
johnson has decided that Wesley
Ferrell. one-time pitching great who
tried the outfield when his arm weak
ened. will confine his efforts to mound
work this year. This decision leaves
open a berth for an outfield extra that
the Cleveland club appears to believe
could be well filled by Rice.
Johnson now fox hunting near Rich
nond is convinced Cleveland can heat
out both the Red Sox and the White
Sox In the forthcoming American
League race He also has expressed
doubt of the circuit champion Ma
tionals' ability to get the breaks again
and anticipates an American League
race better balanced than at any other
time In at least q decade.

Successful Policy.
By the Associated Press.
ITTSBURGH, January 81
r. The graduate coaching sys-
/ tenn, under fire at many

colleges recently. has been
working out beautifully at the
University of Pittsburgh for the
last 10 years and they've decided
to continue it.
Princeton, Dartmouth and Pennsyl-
vania have taken on tutors from other
schools and Yale is reported consider
ing importing a non-Blue top-kick, but
the Pitt Panthers have been doing quite
we'll, thank you, with an all-Pitt statt
under the master, Jock Sutherland.
In line with this policy, Pittsburgh
has elevated Bill Kern to the post OF
first assistant to Sutherland as success
Sor to Andy Gustafson, who goes to
Dartmouth as understudy to Earl (Red)
Blaik, an Army grad.
Kern was a star tackle with the Pam
theirs from 1925 to 1927 and has been
Jocks ace in the hole as a scout for
several years. Other Pitt men on the
Panther staff are Eddie Baker, a recent
quarterback; Eddie Eirshberg, an even
more recent end, and Ulhard Hangart-
ner, who played guard. Skip Gougler,
the freshman coach, was a star Panther
quarterback
As a matter of fact, in Sutherlands

sylvania man, has been the only nom
