UNCLE WIGGILY's JUNE WALK

Early one morning, soon after he
awoke in his hollow stump bunga-
low, Uncle Wiggily heard voices talk
ing outside his door. The voices
were those Of his little rabbit boys
and girls.
Daddy! Daddy Get up, please!''
called Jingle. II did all my work
helping mother and Nurse Jane and
I didn't leave any Of it unfinished.
Didn't you? That's good" said
Mr.. Longears. But is that why you
want me TO get up so early?"
"Oh, no." Jingle answered
ITS because this is the first day
of June, Unkie Wig!" said Baby
Bunty. the orphan rabbit.
We'll, is the first day of June
any different from any other day
in June?" asked Mr.. Longears as
he looked out OF his bedroom win
dow and saw the sun shining and
heard the birds singing.
For June Walk
"Oh. yes, lots different!" said Bus
ter, a boy rabbit. I'VE are going
on a June Walk and we want you
to come with u.s."
I'VE are going to meet the Lady
Mouse Teacher from the Hollow
Tree School over in the woods,
said Jingle. Hurry, Daddy! Get
your breakfast and come with US
on June Walk"

bit gentleman. He washed, he

drawn battle TO get the government
to pay up.
Thousands of pleas were diSallow-
ed by the court of claims but a
number finally were allowed. Be-
tween 1891 and 1901, congress passed
several acts dispensing about So
100000 to heirs of the injured ship
owners. But it refused to pay any
claims by insurance companies.
These are the claims that are
still pending. President William
Howard Taft recommended paying
in 1910-but you can see how much
good that cid. There are about
l,lOO individual claims, based on loss
of 384 vessels.
Congress mas never made its op-
position to this payment very clear
as matter of fact, in recent years
it has been pretty we'll forgotten
that the claims are still pending.
The principal objection seems to
be that the insurance companies
took a legitimate risk on the YES
sells and should stand the loss be-
ing merely in line with their estab-
lished business.

FEDERAL MEN
PREPARED To
BEGIN SEARCH

WASHINGTON, June ]. U.P)--
Release of young George Weyer-
haeuser near Tacoma was the sig
nal today for the federal bureau of
investigation to begin one of its
most intensive hunts in years for
the kidnapers who held the child for
ransom for a week.
Every resource of the depart
ment is available for the case"
said j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
bureau. "Other cases will be super
seded if necessary.
1T may be a day. 1t may be a
week. 1t may be year before we
capture the kidnapers-but we are
going to capture them
Hoover said the first concern Of
the federal men was safety and re-
turn of the child and when that
was accomplished it was the signal
for nationwide hunt.
He said that information con-
cerning the ransom or other news
about the kidnapping itself would
have to come from the family of
the child; that his bureau would
have nothing whatever to say Nor
would he comment upon the nu-
merous reports that notorious gang
sters may have had a part in the
abduction. The reports mentioned
AL Karpis, Volney Davis, and
Thomas H. Robinson, Jr., among
others who may have had a part in
the crime.
Hoover indicated that it was too
early for The federal men to be
saying anything

SeUen Song Hits

Nearly ali screen musicals have
one song which is outstanding, bat
when more than one scores a hit
in the same production, it's more
than likely that Harry Warren and
AL Dublin are the song writer's.
In the First National picture,
Go Into Your Dance" which
comes to the United Artists theatre
tomorrow and Monday, with Al Jol-
son and Ruby Keeler heading the
all-Star cast, there are seven song
hits.
The two big Bobby Connolly
dance ensembles in the picture
center around "A Latin from Man
haitian" and About Quarter to
Nine" both of which are sung by
Ruby and Al.
Then there's the heart rending
torch song, "The Little Things You
Used to Do" sung by Helen Nor
gan in her plaintive way.
AL Jo!son, acknowledged the
greatest nanny song singer of
all times, introduces a new style

then, being dressed. he slid down
the stair bsnister railing to break
fast. He drank his carrot juice,
had a cup Of spinach coffee, with
turnip marmalade on cabbage bread,
and then was ready to hop to the
woods for d June Walk with his
bunnies.
Baby Bunty told how Miss Mouse.
the day before, had said it would
be nice TO 90 to the woods the first
day of June to look for wild flow
ers.
SO the bunny rabbits hoped
along, Uncle Wiggily being at the
head Of the little parade. He was
wondering whether he would have
an adventure and the children were
wondering when they would meet
Miss Mouse.
Now it so happened that when
Miss Mouse had told the children,
the day before, about the June
Walk, the Wolf had been hiding
outside the school and he heard
what was said.
"Ah, hal" whispered the Wolf.
"In take a June Walk myself in

queer if, out Of all the rabbits, I
cannot catch one. Maybe III get

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
NOW GET THEM

This morning comes the news that lit
tie George Hunt Weyerhaeuser, nine year
old son Of wealthy Washington family,
has been returned home eight days after
he was kidnapped.
The return was accomplished through
payment of his family of 100000 de-
manded in ransom by his abductors. Pay
ment at this time has not been definitely
established, but the fact that the boy IS
uncle and father returned from a myster-
ious errand a few hours before the lad
showed up at a farm house, indicates the
ransom was paid.
Having held off to give the little fell
lows family chance to get him back
alive, the law officers can now go into the
case full speed ahead. There are good
reasons to believe that remnants of the
gang which staged the Bremen kidnapping
in ST Paul last year, also engineered the
abduction of the boy.
If the so-called &c men" needed any
spur in going after the boys kidnapers,
they have it in this we believe. They have
been on the trail of the Karpis gang for
many months and if that unsavory mob
really did steal this youngster, they can
expect a hot and heavy chase, with lead
at the finish.
The justice the &c men" deal out from
guns is the only satisfactory justice for
kidnapers. The courts seem unable to i'm
pose punishment adequate to the crime,
and this week we have had an example of
an executive overruling the verdict of
Jury decreeing death for a kidnaper. 1t
is best to let the sc men" be judge, jury
and executioner, and as some of their own
men have been shot down by the Karpis
gang they will not hesitate to seek pay
ment in kind.
The nation may rejoice at the safe re-
turn of this typical American kid, being
raised by fine American family. Its
rejoicing will be greater and more last
ing if it learns that his abductors have
gone to early graves.
Judging from this morning, the only
answer to What is so rare as a day in
June" is nothing

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Presi-

great wheels of congress at unprece-

and obscure gears are still moving
at a speed so tortoise-like as to be
invisible TO the human watcher.
One matter of congressional busi-
ness has been before the senate and
deliberative committees of house
and senate fol a matter of some
135-odd years.
For all the progress congress has
made in the last few decades it may

Ever since 1900 the shipowners

Despite great activity by many

that there was the strongest OBJ

to compensate the sufferers by the
French spoiiation'--but his rec

to allow the court of claims to pass

baby BONDS"
TOTAL $3.50
Plan May Become Permanent
Part of u. S. Governments
Financing Program.

Ely investors have purchased a total
of $3.50 in federal government "baby
bonds" since the issue was placed on
sale at the postoffice two months ago
The bonds will remain on sale until
the government gives notice of the ter
mination of the offer and there is a
possibility that they will become a
permanent feature of governmental fl
nancing, according to information re-
reived at the local poStoffice.
Purchased at two-thirds of their ma
turity value, the bonds will come due
in 10 years and the holders will realize
a profit Of 33 1-3 per cent, it was ex-
planned. The difference in what is paid
for the bonds now and what is re-
ceived at their maturity represents the
accumulation of interest, compounded
semi-annually.
The Treasury department has urged
investors to buy enough of the bonds
for their individual purposes and hold
them until maturity. 1t was pointed
out, however, that it is possible to re-
deem the bonds at their full purchase
price within 60 days after the purchase
date. No interest will be paid on bonds
held less than year.

In explaining the process of securing

income must be at least five times the

credit record in the community must be
