BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD E. GARRIS
(Copyright, 1884 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicste)

But I have lot of Nurse James
pots and pans and dishes which she
sent TO me last week filled with
food. I'll pack the empty pots, pans
and dishes in the basket and you
can take them back with you. Will
you do that?"
"Oh, of course" said Uncle Wig
gily. Just leave the basket outside
your door and I'll pick it up on my
way back"
Well, Uncle Wiggily couldn't find
any adventure that day. He was too
late for them. But he didn't mind.
He had done a good deed. On his
way back home he stopped at the
house of poor Mrs Mouse and pick
ed up the basket of pans and dishes,
all empty. Away the rabbit hoped
through the woods. The Fox and
Wolf smelled him coming.
Wen get him now," said the
Fox.
"Goodie!" snarled the Wolf. And
he still has the picnic basket"
With that they began to chase the
rabbit. Uncle Wiggily heard them
coming and hoped fast but couldn't
get away as he was tired. The Bad
Chaps caught him.
open the basket first" cried the
Fox. And when the Wolf had done
this he and the Fox made dive
with their paws to take out what
they thought were dishes of good
things. But all the pans were empty
and the two Bad Chaps were so
surprised and angry that they be-
gan to fight, banging each other
over the head with pots and pans
and dishes.
Now is my chance!' laughed the
bunny. Away he ran while the Bad
Chaps were fighting, getting safely
home to his bungalow. And if the
radio will tell the piano a bedtime
story about a puppy without tail,
I'll tell you about Uncle Wiggily's
mud pies.

NEW DRY ICE
PLANT To Be
READY SOON

Announcement was made yes
terday at the El Centro Chamber
of Commerce by Carl M. Einhart,
Ilpresident of the Pacific Imperial
Dry Ice, Inc, that it will be only
! matter of a few weeks until the
modern mission building which is
! to house the dry ice manufactur-
ing plant southwest of INLAND, will
| be completed and Imperial Valley
will have one of the most efficient
dry ice plants in the United States.
Over $4,000 adobe bricks, two
and one-half carloads of cement
and several tons of reinforcing
steel will be used in the COM
pleted building. The initial unit of
the plant will be 10 tons daily
capacity, but the equipment will
be capable of producing an ad-
ditional 10 tons per day. The equip
ment is being designed and fur
rished by the Frick company one
! of the largest manufacturers Of
refrigerating equipment in the
world. 1t includes a 325 horse pow
er Cooper -Bessemer diesel engine
/ which will furnish the power nee
! essary for operation. Concrete foun-
dations for all equipment have
been poured by the Gullett Lumber
company of Calipatria and the
structural steel work is being done
by the Pennsylvania Iron and
Steel company of Los Angeles.
The Pacific Imperial Dry Ice,
Inc, is the name of the corpora
J ton manufacturing the dry ice and
this organization will be headed
by Carl M. Einhart, as has the
Salton Sea Chemical Products COM
pany, which is in charge OF the

leases in proven territories in the
north end of the valley have re-
Gently been accepted to assure
| further development and expan-
sion.
| 1t is planned to have formal
opening when the new plant is
completed and Einhart states that
a cordial. invitation will be eX-
tended to all the people of Imperial
countys newest industry.

UNCLE WIGGnY'S PICNIC
BASKET

Wait minute, Uncle Wiggily
Please wait minutel" called Nurse
Jane Fuzzy WuZzy one morning as
the rabbit gentleman was about to
hop away from his hollow stump
bungalow to go adventuring.
What is it, jamie asked Uncle
Wiggily, twinkling his pink nose.
I'm in bit of hurry"
Il won't keep you a moment,
promised the muskrat lady house
keeper. "On your way adventuring
could you stop at the house of poor
Mrs. Mouse and leave her this bas-
ket?"
why, yes, I could" Mr.. Long
ears said. II will, too. But what is
this, a picnic basket?"
sort Of" said Nurse Jane setting
the basket on the kitchen table and
tying rag on the end of her tail,
for she was going to dust the piano.
You know poor Mrs. Mouse has
very little to eat so I am sending
her a basket of food. 1t probably
will be a picnic for her as she gets
very little. Just leave it for her as
you pass and then you may go on
adventuring. You will probably have
very jolly adventure for having
done good deed"
I'm always happy to do good
deeds" said the rabbit gentleman.

THE NEGRO PAUSES


Negro citizens of the community are
today observing Emancipation day, dedi-
Gated to celebrating the freedom of the
race from slavery as result of Lin
coins Emancipation Proclamation.
The date recalls the day when the
proclamation became effective in various
southwestern states. 1t became effective
on other dates in southeastern and
middle Atlantic states.
The difference in dates on which
Emancipation day is observed, while
somewhat confusing, does not detract in
the least from the desirability of observ-
ing it. Well may Negroes pause to cele-
brate.
1t has been a long and hard row for
the Negro since 1868, and fair observers
will agree that he has made good use of
his freedom. There are still, and per-
haps ever will be, the high walls of pref
udice and injustice facing him, but in
stead of discouraging him, these only
tend to make the Negro work the harder
to prove that giving him his freedom was
not a mistake.
Judging the Negro race by those who
get into trouble, who are shiftless, is not
judging it by fair standards. For every
Negro who gets into trouble or who has
there are thousands of Woodworking,
law-abiding and industrious men and
women, not only doing all they can to
improve their own conditions, but max
ing terrific sacrifices for the benefit of
their race.
One need not go far afield to learn
this. 1t is being demonstrated right here
in Ell Centre.
Too many of his white neighbors
charge the Negro with seeking social
equality, when his own greatest leaders
and any number of the rank and file
claim the contrary is true. The Negro
does ask political and economic
equality, but he not only denies that he
seeks social equality but insists that such
a condition of affairs would be more un-
desirable to him than to his white
neighbor.
The Negro can point with pride to out
standing men and women of his race who
have not only reached the pinnacle in va
rious fields but have contributed much to
business, to manufacturing and to the
arts and sciences. We are ignorant of
most of them, but the world knows OF
Paul Robson, James Weldon Johnson,
ROLAND Hayes, DR.. Motion, head Of the
Tuskegee Normal school, to mention
few. To them might well be added
Ralph Metcalfe and Eddie Tolan, whose
feats on the cinder path have made them
known to millions where leaders in other
fields are known to thousands.

standing and encouragement is asked by

SCHOOL IS OUT

The seventy-third congress is a thing
of the past.
1t is still too early to pass judgment
on its accomplishments, and the worth
of these will have to be decided by the
Developments of the next few years
Not since the wartime congress has
there been such momentous one. 1t was
called into action Immediately after
President Roosevelt assumed office. 1t
gave the nation it's first legal drink of
intoxicating liquor in many year short
ly thereafter and started off the long
list of alphabet soup" which has devel-
oped into numerous governmental agen-
cies charged with the duty of returning
prosperity to the country.
1t was the first congress to have no
Lame ducks" in it. And it was the first
congress in many a moon which took its
orders from the White House instead of
giving orders to the executive.
All the congressman, and a goodly
portion of the senator's, are now at lib
erty to get back home and tell the folks
how they saved the country. If they are
good tellers and can make it stick, they
will be back in Washington in January.
If they are not, they are eligible to the
large army of ''has beens."
And most of us will sigh with relief
that congress has gone home. 1t is too
much to ask putting up with congress
and hot weather.
The man with the smile may be identi-
field as Mr.. Roosevelt Losing congress
is sufficient for a real head to heel

who see office holders every four years

Sidelights on adjournment of the
73rd congress:
President Roosevelt was fast
asleep when congress finally quit.
Leaders telephoned the White
House in mid-evening that no
obstacles remained to adjournment.
Just before closing they phoned
again to see if there was any
last-minute business that had been
forgotten. The White House re-
piled there wasn't and the Presi-
dent had gone to bed.
Rep William Sirovich, song writ
ing congressman from New York,
was the most-disappointed men,
ber today. He had written a spec
ial song for the house adjourn
ment vaudeville program. Then the
house went high-hat and he did
MT get a chance to sing it. The
number was dedicated to 'the
servants of the people"
The 73rd congress was the Sec
ond shortest in 100 years. 1t ran
