UNCLE WIGGILY'S WILD
CHERRIES

One morning, when Uncle Wig
gily awakened in his hollow stump
bungalow, he heard his wife talk
ing to Baby Bunty, the little or-
phan rabbit, in Bunty's room.
There, there!" said Mrs. Long
ears kindly. You will soon be all
right, Bunty. Uncle Wiggily will
get you some as soon as he is up
and dressed. Don't cry
Mr.. Longears heard Bunty cry
ing and then he heard her sneez-
ing and then he heard her
coughing.
MY goodness! Bunty must be
sick!" said Uncle Wiggily. Quickly
he Jumped out of bed Quickly he
dressed. Quickly he hoped down
the hall to Baby Bunty's room.
What's the matter?" asked the
rabbit gentleman as he saw his
wife coming out.
"Oh, Bunty has a bad cold and

ing very strong today" said the
bunny.
He reached for another cluster
of cherries. That, also, jumped
away from his paws.
A Funny Wind
"Such a funny wind" said Un-
Gle Wiggily. He reached for a third
fine, large bunch of cherries and
as that, also, bounced away from
him, high in the air, all of a sud-
den Mr.. Longears heard some one
laughing.
Some one is playing trick!"
said the rabbit uncle, looking
around, but he could see no one.
who is jerking the cherries away
from me?" he asked. And the
laughing voice said
"I ami" 1t was the wild cherry
tree speaking. ITS just joke,
Uncle Wiggily," laughed the tree.
You see I am so wild I have to
act Wild" And the branches tossed
and twisted like a wild pony and
Uncle Wiggily couldn't pick a sin
gle cherry in his pail. Then he
said:
"Oh, Cherry Tree, please don't
act so Wild I want cherries for
Baby Bunty who has a bad cid.
Please be tame SO can pick you"
"Oh, I didn't know Baby Bunty
was sick" whispered the tree. "I'll
be tame, now" So the branches
stopped twisting and tossing. Mr..
Longears picked his pail full of the
tame wild cherries and Bunty was
soon we'll again. And if you see a
puppy dog playing ring around the
rosie with pussy cat, then I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily and

STUDY THE CARTOON

In the news columns of this issue read
ers VIII find a cartoon giving a new YER
sion on California, Here | Come" as it
will be sung if Upton Sinclair is elected
governor, according to his own admis-
sion.
The past five years have given us
plenty of opportunity to see thousands
from other states coming to California
not to invest their money or to live in
retirement but to live off the counties
and the state
At one time it was discovered that
other communities were actually giving
their indigents sufficient funds to get to
California, which was supposed to take
care of them once they arrived here.
1t isn't some mysterious parsonage
who pays the burden of caring for the
indigents and the shiftless who come
here Every resident of the state shares
in the cost.
Sinclair's announcement that he eX-
pected "one-half of the nations idle to
come to California, was at least an infer
rental statement that he would welcome
such an influx, for he added that, "in
the long run such newcomers will be
benefit to California
Our taxes are sufficiently high now
too high in fact to be accepted with any
thing like chuckle and if several hun
dred thousand penniless persons are to
be thrust upon us, it doesn't take any
great amount of intelligence to figure
out whether taxes are going up or down.
Sinclair says there won't be any taxes
the state will be self-supporting. But
there hasn t been any system of govern
ment yet founded which could remain
successful without taxation in one form
or other.
Voters, particularly taxpaying voters,
will do we'll to study the cartoon and re-
fleet upon it, before deciding to give
their support to Sinclair. 1t has its hu-
morous angle of course, but beneath the
humor there is real danger to California
which its citizens cannot afford to over
look or to take lightly.

Arizonans Hang
Three In Effigy

PHOENIX, Ariz. Oct. Is. (U.P)
Gov. B. B. Moeur declined to
comment today on public demon
stration in which he, Harold 1ckes,
secretary of interior, and Congress
woman Isabella Greenway were
burned in effigy by a mob of 500
angry farmers in Paradise Valley,
25 miles north of here.
After the three public officials
had been hanged" the mob drag
ged their bodies" to remote sec
ton of the valley and destroyed the
stuffed figures on funeral pyre.
The farmers were angered at

ing it easy for sculptors to carve

Some of the bright minds in the
liquor industry figure that bootleg
ging would be stopped if the whisky
makers would put those little silk
threads-like the government uses
in dollar bills - into the paper
wrappings Of liquor packages.
The big difficulty is the expense.
1t seems that to insert silk threads
into paper is one of the costliest
of all arts. -Four of the largest dis
tilleries ,nonetheless, are expert

CITY HALL To
Be OBTAINED
WITH0UI COST
Continued from page ID

foot square concrete and adobe
Spanish type building surrounding
a courtyard SO that every office
will receive necessary light and air
The building will be equipped with
a cooling system and its cost has
been estimated in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. 1t will house all
the offices of the city now located
at Sixth and State streets, with
out any Jail facilities. County Of
fices in the new building will be
the county library, board of ed
ucation and health department.
May Have Auditorium
Following completion of tn e
building, the council was told, it is
to be used as county SERA head
quarters until such time as that
organization is discontinued after
which it will be turned over to
both the city and county for their
future uses.
In the plans as presented to the
council by Dr. N. E. Dupont at the
meeting Saturday, the possibility
of having an auditorium connected
with the proposed building was
also discussed. With no architect s
plans at hand, this matter was left
over until definite word has been
received here that the proposed
building program would be put into
operation.
! The council finally determined
that the whole matter should be
gone into thoroughly by Mayor
Anderson and B. M. Graham,
chairman of the board of county
supervisors, at q special conference
between these two officials. The
chief matter to be discussed by
Anderson and Graham will be that
of the Main street location for the
new building as it is both county
and city property. Whatever diff
ficulty might exist in that quar-
| ter it is felt, can be very easily
ironed out as the proposed build
ing would be of advantage to both
county and city.
Sterrett will have charge of the
building program in the various
valley cities and will supervise the
buildings until such time as the
SERA relinquishes them. DR.. Du-
pont will be in direct charge of the
Ell Centro building.
In connection with this proposed
building program for the city it
was learned this morning that there
is a possibility of improvements
being carried on near Salton Sea
under SERA direction. The object
of this program would be to place
a modern winter resort OF some
suitable location along the Sea not
only for the benefit of valley res
idents but of tourists as well. Plans
for this improvement have not as
yet been perfected, it was said.

a cough" said the lady rabbit. Il
told her you would hop to the
woods and get some wild cherries
for her. The juice Of wild cherries
is very good for a cold. So is a tea
made from wild cherry bark"
"Tll get some right away" pro-
missed Uncle Wiggily. Quickly eat
ing his breakfast Of muskmelon,
orange Juice and some carrot cof-
fee, Uncle Wiggily hoped over the
fields and through the woods until
he came to a place where grew
some wild cherry trees.
Off for the Cherries
"I hope 1 may find some cher
ries on them" thought the rabbit
gentleman. 1T is rather late for
cherries of any kind, though the
wild ones stay on the trees longer
than the tame ones"
When he reached the grove of
trees, Uncle Wiggily was glad to
see that there were many Of the
small, round clusters of dark red
or purple fruit hanging on stems
II shall be able TO pick plenty
of wild cherries for Buntys cough,
said the rabbit gentleman to him
self. He had brought with him a
little tin pail from his bungalow.
This pail he now hung about his
neck with a string made from a
honeysuckle fine.
THAT will leave both my paws
free to pick cherries said Uncle
Wiggily, twinkling his pink nose.
Il need not hold the pail when
it hangs about my neck"
He reached up to pick the first
cluster of cherries, but. to his sur
prise &c Jumped away from him.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-For
these many years the treasury de

At the latest such drawing, for

POINCARE DIES

Another outstanding figure during
the World war has gone to join his COM
radeS in the death of Raymond Poincare.
president of the French republic from
1913 to 1920.
In the years that have passed since
the war ended, Poincare's part in that
great conflict has not been prominent
in the minds of the public as that of
other statesmen and military figures.
Indeed news of his death will mean but
little to many thousands who will read
of it.
Clemenceau and others made bigger
impressions upon history, but in his own
way Poincare did his share to steer
France through the darkest moment of
its existence and joined with his allied
nations in breaking down the German
war machine.
On occasions when France had reason
to doubt the patriotism of some of her
leaders, no suspicion was ever centered
on Poincare He was in the war to the
end and the end as he saw it, could only
come when Germany had been defeated
and its menace to the safety cf France
destroyed.
AS a loyal trenchman and devoted
leader of the allied cause. he had the
confidence and respect of all. He served
his country we'll and the world is always
willing to acknowledge such service as
a great virtue.
