PREPARE
FINE PROGRAM
FOR NOV. nth

A tentative program for the
countrywide observance of Armis-
tice Day was drawn up yesterday
by committee of county Legion
naires during a meeting held at
the fair grounds yesterday after
noon. D. V. Stewart of Imperial
was chairman of this meeting.
During this week plans for this
countrywide program will be brought
up for consideration at meetings OF
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars and
other county ex-Service mem s or
ganizations and their auxiliarieS.
The county supervisors and coun-
cils of each city as well as all fra
ternal and other civic organiza-
tions will also be contacted in this
matter. 1t is hoped to have every
one of these organizations partici-
pate in the program which Is to be
staged at the county fair grounds.
According to present plans the
observance will start with "a parade
at l o'clock led by Capt. Charles P.
Delp, Ell Centro. as marshal, with
members of the Reserve Officers
association as aides. The flag rails
ing ceremony will follow and an
invocation by clergyman will pre-
cede the singing of America. The
speaker of the day, whose name is
to be announced later, will deliver
half hour address and the Ell
Centro city band will render a
program of music.
Teams of four men each from
every post in the valley will COM
pete in an obstacle race for tro-
ply donated by Stewart. Each man
will carry rifle and pack and haz-
ards will include hurdles, barbed
wire entanglements, water, and a
10 foot wall.
A machine gun race in which
the teams will carry the equipment
to an assembly point. set up the
gun. fire a round, take down the
gun and then return to their start
ing point is also planned. The
army record for this is about two
minutes.
Evening parade, colors and re-
treat will close the program for the
day. A desire to cooperate with
business houses in conditions ex-
iSting this fall led the committee
to choose Sunday for its program.
Stewart IS associates on the COM
mittee include C. P. Delp, Ray
Mouser, Lee Ritter, Calexico, Wal
ter Reynolds, Holtville, Carl Jacob
son, Brawley, Ray Phillips, Cali
| patria and Glen Killingsworth,

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE BEE

Uncle Wiggily wasn't what you
could call Rabbit Scout. although
he was very fond of Boy Scouts
and often wished he might be one.
'tBut," said the old rabbit gen.
tleman to himself, "even if 1 IN not
a scout, I can do one, two or even
three good deeds day. That IS
what the Boy Scouts do
Uncle Wiggily was tsnking about
this one morning as he started off
to look for an adventure. He said
to himself again:
~ can do good deeds and also
look for adventures at the same
time
So he kept both eyes open and
twinkled his pink nose as he hop
ped along over the fields and
through the woods. All of sud-
den the rabbit gentleman saw a
little mouse lady creeping along
carrying a large loaf of bread in
her paws.
"Oh, my dear mouse lady! - said
the bunny. THAT bread is too
heavy for you. Let me carry it..
oHa! Ha! No! Mol" said Mrs.

THE FINAL PUTOUT

The final rush in the National League
pennant race, the world series and the
thrush of football, have combined to OBJ
scure the passing from sports of activi-
ties of one of the most outstanding fig
ures in sportdom, George Herman Ruth
1t just wouldn't be right to let Babe
slide into the discard without paying
tribute to his prowess as baseball play
er and to wish him we'll in whatever the
future holds for him.
The climax of two score years in pro-
fesSional baseball came with the close of
the recent big league season. The ver-
dict of the career must be that the
Babe" made good, not only on the base
ball diamond but as an outstanding
sports figure, an idol for hundreds of
thousands of youngsters and as citizen.
Babe" came out of an industrial
school. Why he was put there is not
definitely certain, the general opinion
being that while he was not bad he was
wild and hard to manage as a boy. 1t
was as green kid that he made his
debut in professional baseball with the
Baltimoer team and in couple of seasons
he was with the Boston Red Sox-a big
Lacquer while still a legal minor.
His heavy hitting of the past Is years
mas ODScureQ the TACT tnat Ruth was
fine pitcher, one of the best left-handers
ever to step on the mound and he still
holds records he made in that capacity.
Because he could hit the ball hard and
often, he went into the outfield and the
world knows what he accomplished there.
Success went to his head and he was
spoiled by the hangers-on and cheap
touts who dogged his footsteps off the
ball field His manager could do little
with him nor could his best friends.
Somehow he came to his senses and
gave dinner to the baseball writer's,
and it might be remarked that none
wished to attend. They were off
Ruth. But they went and heard his
pledge as a man and ballplayer that he
would cut out his wild living and would
be good Somebody had driven home to
him the powerful example he was to the
kids of the country. Some credit that to
Grantland Rice, others to Damon Run
yon. Whoever did it did good job. So
did Ruth. He kept his word and for the
past decade has been the sort of ball
player and man his friends wished him
to be.
He leaves active baseball playing with
the respect and well-wishes of every
manager, every player, every sports
writer and every fan. That is great
deal and is more than comes to many
men in their particular lines of endeav-
or. The national game has not suffered
by Ruth's affiliation with it, on the con-
trary, it has been bettered.

Mr.. Longears.
"Oh. no you won't!" buzzed
the bee. Here is my chance to do

So the bunny did his good deed
