WASHINGTON. Sept. 15.-Post-
master General James A. Farley
takes bow, passes word of cheer
on to his workers and perhaps
leaves some credit to his Republican
predecessors
A dignified statement by the
poStoffice department points to a
"record of efficiency over the
years.
"For 20 years, the statement
continues, mrs. Edith M. Spanton
of Salt Lake City and her sister,
who resides in London, have cor
responded weekly without fail, and
not once during that time, which
includes the turbulent war days,
has letter been lost or failed of de-
livery"
Word of the uninterrupted mail
service came from Mrs. Spanton
with Farley replying that "this
nice letter is one of the finest I
have ever received regarding the
mail service. -
The treasury department has
printed 5000 copies of a brochure
entitled Instructions for Small
Arm Training The brochure is
being distributed to members OF
the department here in connection
with popularizing of the pistol gal
lery in the basement OF the old
structure.
More than 1000 employees have
received instruction in the coast
guard range. More than 3.400
will be under training in 80 days, -
proudly announces the treasury,
adding that 25 men have been
awarded certificates as qualified
with % calibre pistols.
Shots resound from the gallery
all day long. While the idea or
iginated as somewhat of a lark,
should anybody try to raid the new

UNCLE WIGGILY'S APPLE TREE

Nurse Jane Fuzzy WuzZy crept
into the room where Uncle Wiggily
was taking q little sleep after his
lunch. Softly as Nurse Jane crept,
she made noise enough to be heard
by Mr.. LongearS, who opened his
eyes, twinkled his pink nose and
asked:
"swhat is it. Nurse Jane?'
''Oh, I am so sorry ! awakened
you.'' squeaked the muskrat lady
housekeeper - wasn't sure you
were asleep, but if you were 7 plan
ned TO go away and speak TO you
another time'
"What about did you want TO
speak to rne2" asked the bunny.
"Apple pie" said Nurse Jane.
"Applie pie," exclaimed Mr..
Longears. "It sounds like an an
swer to riddle''
"If ! make one 1t will be an an
swer to what the children have
been asking for some time" said
Nurse Jane, land that is when are
they going to have some new apple
pie?"
"All right" laughed the rabbit
gentleman, "Irl let you trick me
If you want to and I'll ask the
question. When is there going tc
be new apple pies, Nurse Jane?"
LAS soon as you get me Sol le
apples she said "That IS what
came in to tell you. This is about
the time Of year for apples to be
ripe If you II go gather me a bas-
Ket of apples III make a lot Of pies.
You may have some and also the
rabbit boys and girls'
Off For AppldJ
THAT will be finel" exclaimed
Mr.. Longears. "I'll go right away.
The children are off playing. as this
is Saturday. and can go alone and
take my time
Taking a basket from the pantry
shelf, Mr.. Longears started hopping

could reach the apples nicely
He had no ladder, however. SO he
couldn't use it.
Maybe can throw up sticks or
stones and knock down some ap-
pies, - thought Uncle Wiggily, when
he had looked on the ground and
had found no apples. They were
not yet ripe enough to have fallen
off, as often happens.
Either Uncle Wiggily's aim
wasn't good or the apples were
fastened to the branches too tight
ly to come off. For, though he
threw many sticks and stones up
into the tree, not an apple came
down.
HIf could only shake the tree
I might make some apples jiggle
down. thought the rabbit uncle
Then I could pick them up, put
them in my basket and Nurse Jane
would make the pie.''
Well, Uncle Wiggily tried to shake
tree, but it was very big and thick
and he cou,\ not jiggle down SO
much as a leaf Not an apple fell.
The poor rabbit gentleman was
ready to go back home, without any
apples when, all Of a sudden, he
heard music playing.
Looking across the field toward
the road. Uncle Wiggily saw a cir
Gus parade coming along. In the
lead was an elephant.
"Oh, goodiesl" exclaimed Mr.
Lcngears. "I'll go ask the ele-
phant 10 bang the tree with his big
head 1t won't hurt him and it
viii shake the tree and jiggle lot
of apples down to me-
Success
In the twinkling of his pink nose
Mr.. Longears hoped over the field
TO the circus parade. He called to
the kind elephant in animal Ian
guage and the big creature said:
Certainly, III shake down some
apples for you. Uncle Wiggily."
Leaving the circus parade, which
waited for him To come back, the
elephant marched to the tree and
banged it SO hard with his head
that enough apples were knocked
down for a dozen pies. Mr.. Long
ears gave the elephant some apples
for himself and took the rest home
to Nurse Jane.
And if the ice cream cone will
stop poking its sharp end into the
eye of the needle, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily's pie party.

greater development of Imperial Valley
instead of being at loggerheads
The first action brought against the
dlstrlct by the power company was de-
clded in favor of the former, though the
case is still open by the courts decision
giving the company leave to file an
amended complaint
There remains an action in the federal
court, seeking to have the legislative act
creating the district declared unconsti-
tutional. Discussion of this case before
1t comes to trial is out of order, but it is
certain that the district has sound argu-
mentS on its side to present when the
case is called for trial.
Dismissal of the suit seeking a special
levy to pay the warrants which the pow
er company holds is another victory for
Harry W. Horton, chief counsel for the
district, who in two battles has proved
his ability to match his legal knowledge
with that of the power company's attor-
neys.
Like Phil Swing, he too has been the
target of small-minded politicians, will
ing if they could, to tear down a mans
richest treasure-his personal and eth
lcal reputation-to gain their own self
1sh ends. Such tactics are frowned up
on as they deserve to be, by all decent
persons.
Refund of the $4,000 spent by the
district ever a period of years, is merely
Uncle Sam paying justified debt He
was apparently willing to forget about
it but the district decided not to let him
forget. Swing proved to be a good col
lector as we'll as a good extractor of
funds

Negroes Get Jobs
At Norris Dam

Knoxville, Tenn. tANP) - Ne
groes OF East Tennessee especially
and Negroes in general are happy
10 know that a number OF Ne
groes have already received en-
ployment and others will be en-
ployed in the Norris Dam Section
or Basin. which Is one OF the Ten
nessee Valley Authority projects.
The number OF Negroes to be en-
ployed will be determined by the
relative proportion OF the two
races I'm the counties close TO the
Dam. No outside laborers will be
used, for the Authority cannot use
all the laborers that are available
in East Tennessee.
Negroes have been employed on
Wheeler Dam I'm Alabama from the
start, but for some reason. no Ne
gro laborers were employed on
the Norris Dam or in the Basin
that is adjacent to the Dam, in
East Tennessee. For awhile II APP
peared that there was definite
policy TO exclude Negroes, for the
work on the Dam and in the Basin
was progressing rapidly with hun
dreds of whites working. but no
Negroes. AS a result OF this situa-
ton, individuals. various groups
and organizations contacted the
Tennessee Valley Authority and
others for the purpose of having
Negroes included in the great Ma
tional Experiment conducted by
the IVA under the Federal gov
eminent.
