to it, he said in such low voice
that the echo didn't hear and so
didn't answer. But I wonder how 1
am going to get out of this snow
cave thought the bunny gentle
man. Il am almost like Mr.. White
wash, the Polar Bear gentleman, in
his cave of ice How can I get out?"
AS the bottom of the cave was
made of hard snow, into which he
could not sink to his ears as might
have happened if he had been on
top of drift outside, Uncle Wiggily
took off the barrel stave shoes.
He could walk more easily with
out them, but he decided to keep
them with him, for he could not
tell when he would get out of the
cave.
"And then I may need the barrel
slaves again to keep me from sink
ing into the deep snow" thought
the rabbit This is a large cave"
Indeed, it was. Uncle Wiggily ne
yer knew that there was such a
large snow cave SO near his own
Hollow Stump Bungalow. And the
cave, he was sure, must be near his
bungalow for, only little while
before, he had left the Twistytail
pig house, which was just over the
hill from his own.
All OF a sudden, as Uncle Wig
gily was walking in the snow cave,
which was almost as light as day,
he heard a voice singing. This time
it wasn't the echo. The bunny stood
still and listened The voice sang
THE Winter is a jolly time 1t
brings the snow and ice. Now soon
I'll have some company and I will
treat them nice.'
My, Some one must live in this
snow cave and whoever it is must
be expecting company whispered
Mr.. Longears. 81 hope I am the
company and I hope I'll be treated
nice" He hoped on a little farther
and, all of sudden, around the cor
ner of a big SNOWFALL, came jumping
a cute little Elf dressed in a red
suit.
''Hellol" called the little Elf. "Wel-
come to my snow cave!"
Mr.. Longears was much surprised
and I'll tell you why in the story
tomorrow, which will be about I'm
Gle Wiggily and the company. But
please don't let the tea kettle sing

CORN AND HOG
PRODUCERS To
CURB SURPLUS

To obtain for themselves fair
share of the national income, corn
and hog producers of Imperial coun-
| ty, in cooperation with those in
1900 other counties, are to take
part in the $350,000,0G0 corn-hog
adjustment program for 1884,
launched by the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, according
! to announcement made by Frank
Beyschlag, farm ADVISOR.
| Adjustment payments, said Bey-
schiag, based on processing taxes,
will be made to producers who CO.
operate with the federal govern
ment in this self help program to
eliminate surpluses and improve
prices, after the manner of the cot
ton and wheat production control
programs directed last summer by
the AAA through the agricultural
extension services.
The basis of the voluntary cam
paign to eliminate depressing sur
pluses in corn acreage and hog
numbers, according to Beyschlag,
will be contracts between individual
producers and the secretary of agri-
culture. The campaign itself will
be conducted through the County
Corn-Hog Production association,
he explained, to be organized by
the growers themselves.
"Factors which have depressed
hog prices,o said Beyschlag, "are
obvious. There has been shrink
age in exports from the equivalent
of 100000 hogs in 1919 to the
equivalent of 100000 in 1888. There
also has been severe reduction in
consumer buying power here and
abroad.
"With 100000 fewer horses and
mules now than formerly, corn
from approximately 100000 acres
has been released for other purpos-
es. Greater efficiency in livestock
feeding and management has re-
quired fewer bushels of corn for
products produced. These figures
tell the story of why the corn-hog
adjustment program is SO necessary
to the welfare of the producer.'

a glaring whiteness-the Whiteness

white on all sides, white on the
floor and whiteo the roof.
"I must have fallen into snow

And that's Just what he had
done. AS you remember, from hav-
ing heard the story last night, M.
Longears started out from the home
of Mr.. Twistytail, the fat pig, to
walk to his own bungalow SO his
wife wouldn't worry about his being
cut in the snowstorm. To keep from
sinking into the deep snoWdrifts,
Mr.. Longears wore barrel staye
shoes, like skis. But even with these
on, when he was half way home, he
tumbled through a drift into the
snow cave.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S CAVE
ADVENTURE

Down, down, through the deep
snow fell Uncle Wiggily with the
pieces of the wooden barrel strap
ped to his paws. Down, down, down
he tumbled through a big drift un-
til he began to think he might be
going all the way to China.
And perhaps it may not be snow
ing in China" thought the rabbit
gentleman to himself, as he put
one paw on his pink nose SO the
twinkle wouldn't bounce off. "I
have read there are many wonder
full things in China. ] should like to
see that land. My, what a long fall
I am having through the snow!"
But even the longest fall must
have an end and Uncle Wiggily's
wasn't so long as he thought. 1t
seemed to the rabbit gentleman
that he had tumbled a long dis
tance through the snow but, really,
it was not very far.
All of a sudden he came to stop
with a bump and he sat up and

DEVELOPING An ASSET

Upwards of 80 leading hotel men from
the Los Angeles area are to spend tonight
in Imperial Valley, having arrived here
in the course of the Great Circle Tour,
sponsored by leading hotels of Southern
California.
The object of the tour is to stimulate
interest in the scenic attractions of the
area between Los Angeles and San Diego,
by means of a trip starting IN the former
city and proceeding inland to Riverside
thence through Coachella and Imperial
Valleys to San Diego and back to Los ALI
geles via the coast route.
Many of US who have spent years in
Imperial Valley, are unable to appreci-
ate the attraction which this community
holds out to the newcomer, and particu-
larly to that large class of people who
come to California for the winter and are
in search of interesting short journeys
during their stay in this state
Few Of these have any conception of
such a place as Imperial Valley. After
covering the desert area south from
Coachella, it is like coming into fairyland
to meet the green fields of Imperial Val
ley. Those who know of the valley only
through hearsay or from the printed
page are thrilled by the things they see
here.
Westward from El Centro more thrills
await those who make the Great Circle
Tour. The trip up through In-ko-pah
Gorge is an event in itself, and the tourist
who makes it once never forgets it.
There is no more beautiful ride any
where than the trip across the mountains
to San Diego, unless it be the equally
beautiful one north along the coast from
San Diego to Los Angeles.
The Great Circle Tour is a scenic asset
which deserves to be developed and made
cne of the outstanding trips offered the
California visitor. The hotel men real
ize this and are doing their part to sell
the tour. They need the cooperation of
the communities enroute in order to do
this.
Ell Centro extends cordial welcome to
those who are visiting US tonight and
hopes they will enjoy every moment of
their stay here. We believe they are the
advance guard of a large army of visit
crs who will make the Great Circle Tour
in the future.

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
TRASH NOT DESIRED

The Press will have to plead guilty to
the suppression of news, if the term news
can rightly be applied to the mess of
solled laundry being exposed to the pub
lie gaze by Americas leading crooner and
his wife.
Pertinent facts in the efforts of the
crooner's wife to obtain separate main
tenance allowance from him. and his en-
deavors to prevent such ruling being
given by the court will be given space, but
the columns of this paper are not going
to be cluttered up with lot of trash
emanating from alleged clandestine
meetings, charges, counter-charges and
denials of marital infidelity.
There is too much worthwhile news to
be given space Yesterday it would have
been possible to publish at least four col
umns on the Vallee-Vallee case. This
was boiled down to a little more than half
4 column.
Opening newspapers columns to all
the super-bunk that such case can de-
Velop is only giving free publicity to a
class of people who revel in that sort of
thing.
We may be wrong, but we believe that
the majority of decent people resent the
actions of two persons who cannot get
along together after marriage spilling
out all the intimacies of their private lives
for every Tom, Dick and Harry to gloat
over. A divorce can be obtained without
pandering to the 'depraved appetites of
those who glory in the sensational.
Mr.. Crooner and his wife have over
stepped the bounds of decency in the ex-
posures they have permitted to get into
the public prints The latter are not
blameless, in fact they are as much if not
more to blame than the principals in the
case. They don't have to print such
stuff.
The Press does not put itself on ped
estal. 1t can err with the best, or the
worst of them, perhaps, but it is not 60
ing to do so deliberately. We consider
it home paper in the fullest sense of
the word and the Vallee trash, as we'll as

PEACE SOUGHT
|NPLASTERERS
v AL K D j 7

Negotiations were under way
at noon today for an early set
tlement Of the pla1terers' strike
in Washington.
The plasterers walked out about
three weeks ago when their de-
mandS for a Six-hour day at
SITS an hour were refused. Union
officials pointed out the neceS-
sity of a six-hour day if work
is to be spread within their
ranks. 1t was considered I'M
likely that today's conference be-
tween plaSterers and representa-
tives of contractors would bring
any immediate results.
Peace Signs Seen
Along other fronts in wash
ington's muddled strike situation
there were renewed rumblings Of
discomfort mingled with definite
signs Of peace in some quartrs.
Firemen and engineers, out on
strike for more than month,
returned to work today at the
Garry and Southern Diaries ice
cream plants.
Amicable termination of their
dispute for higher wages and
shortened hours was effected at
conferences yesterday presided
over by Howard T. Colvin. con-
ciliator for the Department Of
Labor. This gesture Of peace
between the fighting factions
marked a definite victory for
labor, observers stated.
