UNCLE WIGGILY'S SNOW
SHOES

Uncle Wiggily, who was visit
ing Mr.. Twistytail, the sick pig gen.
tleman, looked out of the window
at the falling snowflaKes.
rs it very deep, Mrs. Twistytail,"
asked Mr.. Longears. For the pig
lady, as I told you in the story
/ last night, had just come in after
having been to the drug store to
bring her husband some cought me-
dicine.
Yes, Mr.. Longears, it is very
deep snow" she squeaked. Il don't
see how you can wade through it
TO get back to your bungalow. But
am glad of it, she said with
smile.
Glad of it, cried the rabbit
gentleman. do you mean you are
glad that 1 am going to get stuck
in the SnoW?'
"Oh, no, not that" answered the
pig lady with a laugh. But 1 am
glad you will have to stay here with
us and keep Twisty company. He is
always so cross when he has a cold
and must stay in. If you are here
with him he'll be much happier"
That's what l will, Wiggy,"
grunted the fat pig gentleman. Il
am glad you are here to keep me
company. But as for being cross
when I have cold, nonsense. I am
always jolly! Ha! Ha! Hal Ira, la,
la!" sang the pig.
We'll, you are jolly enough now
admitted his wife, but you wouldn't
be if Mr.. Longears were not here.
However, here he is and here he
must stay until the storm stops and
paths are shoveled so he can get
home, so we must make the best Of
it and he is very welcome to stay as
long as he likes"
"Oh, I'm sure it's very kind of
you to say that said the bunny
gentleman with a smile. But my
wife and Nurse Jane don't know
where l am. They don't know l
came here. And Nurse Jane warn
ed me about going out in the storm
this morning. She said the snow
was too deep
well it really is, now" said the
pig lady, Though it wasn't deep
when you started out. But make
the best of it. Play another game Of
chackers with TWisty and I'll make
you both some cabbage lemonade. y
That will be nice" agreed Mr.
Longears. But 1 had better tele-
phone my wife or Nurse Jane and
! let them know 1 am here and may
have to stay all night"
I'm sorry, but you can't do that,
said the lady pig.
why not?" asked Uncle Wiggily
Because our telephone is broken,

reason for this interest on the part
of the chamber has been its firm
belief that the prosperity of the
valley rests largely on the prosper
ity of the dairymen and that when
dairying is a success business con-

of tuberculin reacting animals from
our dairy herds, the chamber direc-

PRAISE DUE TO DIR. DUPONT

DIR. Norman Dupont of Ell Centro is de-
serving of the highest praise for the un-
tiring, and unremunerative, effort he has
put forth in recent months in welfare act
ivities; in the NRA and CWA organiza-
tion work.
He has been leader in all these move
ments to bring Imperial county out of
economic despond, because he believed it
a patriotic thing to do, even to the ne
glect of his own professional business.
He has stood solidly behind the nation
al recovery program of President Roose-
Welt, devoting hours and hours of his
time day and night to assist in organiz-
ing local machinery to carry it into effect
without any idea of expecting any politi-
cal preferment as reward.
No person in the county deserves more
praise for work accomplished in the local
recovery campaign, than DR.. Dupont
The Brawley News.
The Press says right, to the COM
ments of the Brawley News, and is hap
ply that the first recognition of DR.. Du-
points service came from outside his
home town.
He has unselfishly given his time and
efforts, even to the sacrifice of hours
which might be spent with his business or
his family, to helping the other fellow,
and with no thought of reward.
We believe the great ajority of his
fellow-citizens in the valley appreciate
the splendid work which DR.. Dupont has
done and is continuing to do. There are
3 few who condemn and criticize him. of
course, which is to be expected, for he has
refused to be swayed or influenced, and
in rejecting pleas for favoritism has un-
doubtedly stepped on few toes.
His work has been highly commended
by his superiors in the state CWA and the
state Emergency Relief Commission, who
have stated publicly that the recovery
program is being worked out in Imperial
county more efficiently than in any other
section of the state. This being true it
Is due more to the efforts of Dr. Dupont
than to any other individual.

Who RevivedOul
Gabardines?

Where did the gabardines
come from that are such a SEN
Sation this year? AS far as the
casual observer knows, they
just sprang from the nowhere.
Men remember wearing them
many years ago, know them for
riding breeches or for topcoats,
but the younger men never saw
gabardines used for suits.
It seems that college boys
took them up about three years
ago. First they wore chocolate
brown biswing suits. and
pretty odd they looked. Then
they took up gabardines in all
colors. and now look where
they've gone!
Conservative estimates say
that about IL per cent Of
WaShington's men have gabar-
dine suits or jackets. In other
cities 1t runs as low as 3 per
cent, but we men know their
value here. Browns and tanS
are still the favorites, but gray
and gray-green are extremely
good looking, and find favor
with many people too.

gray check, his shirt plain yell

This man has combined his
colors well. Blue and gray al
ways go we'll together, and yell
low adds a dash that is needed.
His shoes are white, with black
Soles.
If you can see the sports belt
this man wears, it is interesting
too. It has an ostrich leather
inlay, and is very new. His hat
is the new optimo shape which
most young men are wearing
this year. It is worn snapped
down all around, but may be
snapped in front only.

Black with White

On the left of the same pic
ture is a man wearing suit of
the new palm beach material,
so much improved that you
wouldn't know it as even a dis
tant relation of the old-time
palm beach. This suit is of
creamy white palm beach, and
this man chooses to carry out
an entire black and white
theme.
The black notes are tie and
handkerchief, with shoes all
white, and shirt white. Soles on
white shoes may be either black
white or red, with the all.white
shoe a little newer than those
with black SoleS, but led soles
newest of all. The fact that
shoes are easier to clean with
white soles makes that variety
most popular.

The gabardine suit is an ex-
cellent buy because gabardine
is one of those fabrics that
looks well with anything. Wear
the jacket with your plaid or
checked trousers, or with white
linen trousers. Wear the trous-
erS with white Palm Beach
