WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 W.P)-Mrs.
FRANKLIN D. Roosevelt, as is her al
most weekly custom, has broken
another precedent. She has chang
ed the date of the annual dinner
for the Vice-President out of re-
gard for the wife of the White
Houss military attache.
In other days the White House
social calendar, once announced,
was as permanent and inflexible as
Gibralter.
The Presidents dinner had
been arranged for a week from to-
night. Plans were going forward.
Then Mrs. Roosevelt happened to
read a paragraph in the newspaper
one day. It said that Frances Nash
would appear as soloist with the Ma
tional Symphony orchestra, the
evening of Jan. 10. Frances Nash
is the professional name of Mrs.
Edwin NJ. Watson, the aides wife.

MORE THAN A FAIR

Imperial county's sixth annual mid
winter fair will open at the fair grounds
in Imperial on March and will close
on March II.
In past years the fair has been a spec
tacle worthy of the people of this COM
munity and the alert officials who have
been placed at the head of the fair by
the people are laying their plans to make
this fair even better than those which
have preceded 1t.
The 1885 fair will be something more
than an assemblage of the products and
handiwork of Imperial Valley. 1t will
be notice to the world that the hard
ships and handicaps which beset this
area during 1884 have not dimmed the
same spirit that conquered the desert and
developed the largest irrigated section
IN the world.
Only few short months ago newspa-
pers throughout the country were car
rying pictures of water being hauled in
to the valley because of the extreme
drought. The false impressions many
outsiders obtained from such photo
graphs were equaled by the alarming
fears which many right here in the val
ley held and expressed at every oppor-
tunity. 'The valley is ruined;" well
all be broke or moved out in a few
weeks" All of US heard such express
sions.
We can thank heaven that those who
made such remarks We're a pitifully
small minority. The great majority of
the valley residents grumbled bit, and
then took firmer grip on themselves
to ride the thing through.
The drought and any evils that came
with it are things of the past. They were
Just few more obstacles to be met and
overcome.
Right in the midst of the drought's
worst period, construction of the ALL
American canal started. That means the
beginning of the end for the final OBJ
stacle that has stood in the pathway of
the valleys progress.
Last year at fair time, we wondered
when the canal would be started. This
Gear we are wondering how soon it will

who would have US believe we were

dition than ever before, the spirit of the
people is the same old pioneer spirit that

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
BUSY BIRD

Baby Bunty, the little orphan rab-
bit, so much enjoyed going adven-
turing with Uncle Wiggily that she
asked the jolly old rabbit gentle-
man if she might not hop along
with him every day until the Hollow
Tree School opened again after the
Christmas holidays.
"Of course you may, Bunty," said
Mr.. Longears.
And you won't get tired of me
asking you questions, will you
Unkie Wig?" Bunty wanted to
know.
"Ask as many questions as you
like, Bunty," said the rabbit gentle
man. "Ill answer them if I CAM
Each time the little orphan bunny
hoped out with Uncle Wiggily she
would ask such questions as why
the sky was SO blue and why some
clouds were white and some clouds
dark. And Mr.. Longears would tell
her.
This time, when Bunty hoped out
with Unkie Wig, as she called him
in her baby talS, using only the two
words she was allowed, it was snow
ing little. The white flakes fell
to the ground and covered it like
white rug. But when Bunty looked
up into the air and some of the
flakes fell on her pink, twinkling
nose, they melted into tiny drops of
water.
Snow to Water
why is that, Unkie Wig?"
Bunty asked. when the snow
flakes fall on the ground they stay
there quite while. But when any
flakes fall on my pink nose or my
cheeks they soon melt into water.
Why is that?"
Because your nose is warm, like

that before. I've learned something,
haven't I. Unkie Wig"
+ II hope So" said Mr.. Longears as
he and Bunty hopped on to the
woods. In a cozy place under an
evergreen tree, where no snow had
fallen, they saw bird scratching in
the dried leaves and dirt and pick
ing something up in his beak.
What's the bird doing?" asked
Baby Bunty. "
Picking up seeds to eat" said
Uncle Wiggily. "If it we're Summer
the bird would be picking up bugs
and worms, but there is no such
food in winter, SO the bird lives on
seeds"

the able bodied men, women and
children of the community partic-

In two weeks the dead starlings
were counted up. They numbered
100000. Then the remaining star
ling population was checked. So far
as could be determined the city had
exactly as many starlings as at the
start. A new bird from the out
side had come in to replace every
one shot down.
The only hope of checking star
lings in Washington and, in fact,
the only thing that will keep them
from spreading into every section
of the country, the scientist believe,
is introduction of some natural
enemy. None has been found SO
far.

In last year to make the Presidents ball
splendid success. 1t was the nations
first opportunity to pay tribute to a man
whom all admire, whether political friend
or foe. Mr.. Roosevelt's heroic fight
against terrible affliction, inspires the
admiration of all.
1t was this fact, as well as the respect
which Americans naturally have for their
Chief Executive, that caused all to ioin
in so that the Warm Springs Foundation.

have sufficient funds to carry on its
great work.
There is to be another ball this year
and II there is any truth in the old say
ing Charity begins at home," it should
be even more successful than last year S,
for 20 per cent of the proceeds will be
used locally to aid victims of infantile
paralysis. The remaining 80 per cent
will go toward a national foundation to
conduct research work in combating this
dread disease.
The city council of Ell Centro is Off
clally sponsoring the ball and the peo-
pie of this city will be asked to respond
generously in patronizing it.
By so doing they will not only be show
ing their respect for the nations Presi-
dent, but they will be helping Ell Centre
youngsters who may be stricken by dis
ease to have fighting chance against it.
Partisan lines were forgotten in plan
ming and carrying out last years pro-

ence this year for charity knows no creed,
no racial barriers, no political divisions,
