UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
FLYING FISH

Uncle Wiggily was still sitting on
a warm stone, in the sun, near the
woodland brook where he was try
ing to catch some fish. The rabbit
gentleman had just played a fun
ny trick on the Bob Cat, as told
you in the story last night.
But perhaps some of you missed
that. So I will tell you that MI.
Longears, instead of catching a
fish, caught an cid rubber boot,
filled with stones, that he hauled
up out Of the brook.
The Bob Cat was standing back
Of the bunny, waiting to nibble him
But Uncle Wiggily swung the heavy
beet against the Bob Cats soft and
tender nose and sent him away
bowling.
well, now" laughed the rabbit
gentleman, as he took the boot off
hishook and sat down again upon
the warm stone. Il ought to catch a
real fish. And I nope no more of
the Bad Chaps come along to bo-
Their me. I do wish they would let
me alone
Uncle Wiggily had come to the
fishing place with three kinds of
bait, or things TO put on his hook
to fool the fish into biting on it. He

hours April first under brillian sun

posted in the Atlantic urn con-

Mrs. Sirvent was the oldest en-
ployee of the Argentine embassy il

an almost indispensable assistant to
the five ambassadors under whom
she served.
She devoted her life 10 the cause
of cementing better relationships
between Argentina and the United
States. She left a request that het
body be cremated and that her
ashes be cast upon the Atlantic, the
closest link between the two ma
tions.

POLICEMEN IN
BAY CITY GET
CLEAN SLATE

SAN FRANCISCO, April A. U.p)--
The San Francisco policeman whose
bank account exceeds $1,000 at any
one time is an exception, records Of
the grand jury indicated today.
Six policemen, all of them above
the grade of patrolmen, were called
before the jury in the Club Kamo-
kila pay-off investigation. Each
brought along the financial records
he previously had refused to dis
close.
After the testimony, District At
torney Brady was quoted as saying
that with one exception, none Of
them had more than $1,000 in the
bank, none possessed stocks or bonds,
none owned homes or automobiles
which could be classed as expensive;
and none had given his wife ex-
pensive jewelry The exception built
up his account by inheritance, Bra
dy explained.
Two police captains were next to
appear. One of them had less than
$500. the district attorney said The
records of the other, for some I'M
explained reason, were not divulged.
Thus, on the basis of the district
attorneys statements, collapsed one
of the most sensational phases Of
the inquiry into Mrs. Alice Kamo-
kila Campball's charges that she
had been asked to pay policemen for
immunity from raids on her night
club and had been told that such
payments were the regular thing.

BED TIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright, 1884 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)

of course he was glad when he had
the boot to bang the Bob Cat on the
nose.
Il think perhaps I ought to try
some other kind of bait" said the
rabbit gentleman, when he had put
the old boot behind some bushes.
L have tried cake, pie and meat. I
wonder what I could use neXt?"
Just then, out OF tree over the
rabbit gentleman's head, feather
came floating down. Some bird,
building her nest, had dropped the
feather. 1t fell on Uncle Wiggilys
pink tWinkling nose and tickled it,
''Ker choo!" he Sneezed.
Then ne looked at the feather and
said:
Il think shall use that for bait
and perhaps I may catch a real
fish" For Uncle Wiggily knew that
some fishermen put feather on
Their hooks and call them flies and
so fool many a poor fish.
Fastening the birds feather on
his hook, once more Uncle Wiggily
cast it into the water. Then he sat
down, as before, waiting for bite,
and hoping none of the Bad Chaps
would stroll along to bother him.
Il don't believe the Bob Cat will
come back" said the rabbit gentle
man to himself. But the Fox or
Wolf might take a notion to try to
nibble me. must be careful"
He looked behind him into the
woods but saw none OF the Bad
Chaps So he began to watch his
pole and line ready to haul up as
soon as he got a bite. OF course he
couldn't see his feathered hook as
that was under water.
All of a sudden the line began to
shiver and the pole began to shake
and Uncle Wiggily said:
II believe I've really caught fish
this timel"
He waited to make sure the fish
had taken hold of the hook and
then the rabbit gentleman jerked
it up out of the water. This time
he really had fish and not an old
rubber boot filled with stones.
But what a queer fish" said
Uncle Wiggily as he saw it. And
we'll might ne say that for the fish
had wings like a bird and began
flying around while still fast on the
hook and line. "A flying fish"
shouted Mr.. Longears. What luck!"
And what happened next I'll tell
you tomorrow night when the story
will be about Uncle Wiggily's sur
rrising his wife.
And 1 hope the milkman's horse
doesn't try to play roll hoop with
tire off the automobile and SO
make the Police Dog laugh.

meat that Jackie Bow Wow had
gnaWed off a bone. No fish bit on
the cake or pie bait and when MI q.
Longears put some meat on his hook
he caught only a rubber boot
And while it was a good thing
for me that 1 caught the rubber
boot" said the bunny laughing so
that his pink nose tWinkled, still a
rubber boot isn't real fish
I think you will agree with Uncle
Wiggily there. No one has ever been
able to eat rubber boot and have
it taste like fish. Although some fish
like sharks, are as tough as rub
Der boot.
Of course, there are some fishes
that are a bit like rubber boots.
There is one fish called a sole
Though it is really founder and
you know that sole is part of a
rubber boot. But Uncle Wiggily
wanted to catch a real fish.
Not that he wanted to eat it. He
was going to take it home, put it in
bowl of water, with some weeds
and stones and let his bunny child
rem watch the fish play.
II might even catch two fish, -
Uncle Wiggily thought, "or perhaps
three or four and they could play
tag and hide-and-go-seek or other
games in the bowl of water and it
would be much fun for Baby Bun
ty and the other children.
SO Uncle Wiggily felt very sorry
when he found, at first, he had
caught only rubber boot. Though

LOS ANGELES, April a. U.P) -
Federal prosecutors dipped into a

The governments attorneys were

action tantamount to pleading gull

Scantlin nevertheless was compelled
to remain in court.
Hargreaves was accompanied to

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
JUST 4 PIONEER

/ Perhaps this won't be considered
/ proper subject for an editorial by some
/ readers, nevertheless we think it is and
wish, in all sincerity, to pay tribute to
man whom we never saw, never will
see and of whom we never heard until
yesterday.
He is J. r. Mcfarland. a one-time res
ident of San Diego.
To the best of our knowledge McFar-
land cannot be put down as celebrity.
He probably never held any high office,
accomplished any great achievement as
the world measures such things, and per-
hapS holds only a modest niche in the
march OF civilization as one of the great
mass of every day persons.
Sixty years ago Mcfarland was haul
ing load of wood into San Diego.
Heavy rains had swollen all the streams.
so that 1t was necessary for him to ford
the SWeetwater Is times enroute from
his home to San Diego with his wood
Nine times on the trip Mcfarland had
TO unload his wagon to get it across the
swollen stream and nine times he had to
reload it.
That is all we know about j. R. Nc
Farland.
What of it?
Really nothing except we cannot help
but admire a man with that much deter
mination. He toiled and sweated all
through the day, or perhaps several days,
getting that wood into a market so he
could change it into money with which
to support himself and his family 1t
was hard and laborious work loading
and unloading that wood. Nobody cared
about that. Nobody gave whoop, ex-
cept Mcfarland, whether he succeeded
or not in his task.
To US, 60 years afterward, there is the
spirit of the heroic pioneer in what Nc
Farand did and it entities him to this
tribute. We of today who have all the
