UNCLE WIGGnY AND GADDY'S
GIANT

Gaddy was a rabbit boy. He
wasn't very big. But he ran into
more places than a funny little pig,
Pigs, you know, especially funny,
little ones, are very fond of run
ming away, going here, there and
everywhere. Curly and Floppy
Twistytail, the two pig boys, did
that when they were little. Now
they were grown up and didn't
run away so often. But Gaddy did
Gaddy was one of Uncle Wiggily's
little rabbits. He was smaller and
younger than Baby Bunty, the or
phan rabbit. But though he was
small and young, Gaddy ran around
great deal. That's how he got
his name.
What shall we call our new lit
tie rabbit, Wiggy?" asked Mrs.
Longears CT her husband.
Uncle Wiggily, who had been
chasing the new little rabbit all ov-
er the back yard and part of the
front yard, brought him to the
bungalow and quite out of breath,
said: IT think We should call him
Gadabout. He's always gadding
around, running away and going
into strange places so I have TO
chase after him to bring him home,
/ We1l call him Gadabout."
Becomes Gaddy
So Gadabout was the name given
the new little rabbit. But, after a
while, it became Gaddy and so it
remains until this day.
well" said Uncle Wiggily to his
wife one morning, Il think I shall
hop away and look for an adyen-
ture. All the children are safely
en- their way to recite their lessons
to the Lady Mouse Teacher in the
Hollow Tree School, aren't they?"

VALLEY SCORES 8ULLSEYE

Imperial Valley IS fully entitled to
wear a smile of satisfaction today, for it
put on a fine party at the California Pa
eific International Exposition yesterday,
and in the words of exposition officials
-"stole the show.
A large delegation from the valley,
variously estimated from 10000 to u 900.
not only exceeded the fandest hopes of
the Imperial county officials sponsor
ing the day, but made the fair officials
extremely happy for the total attend
ance for the day was near record num-
bers and Imperial Valley was given the
credit for inspiring the large turnout.
Comparisons, OF course, are not desir-
able. but the attendance at Imperial
Valleys program in the organ pavilion
deserves comment. Estimates as high as
5000 were placed on the number who
witnessed the valleys fine entertain
ment program Exposition officials said
this was close to a record audience and
mentioned an occasion last week when
chorus of 100 voices on the stage drew
an audience Of less than score as proof
of the drawing power Of Imperial Val
ley. The best compliment came from the
head janitor at the pavilion who said 1t
was the finest arranged show and the best
talent yet seen at the exposition and he
meant it.
There is not space enough here to do
Justice to the entertainment program. 1t
is sufficient to say it was credit to I'M
perial Valley from start to finish and all
who took part in it are not only to be
congratulated but thanked for the splen-
did way in which they helped Imperial
Valley to show itself before its neigh
bors and people drawn from all OF the
AZ other states.
Credit is due to no one person, and
there is enough to GO around for all who
had anything to do with the program,
whether they drove a truckload of mel
ons (those melons were a big hit by the,
way) over to the exposition, acted on the
program, or just die something to help
make the day a success. The supervls-
ors. the board of trade, the Imperial r.
rigation District and the committee
which had active charge of the affair
certainly rate the thanks of Imperial
Valley.
AS for the exposition ! Anyone who
misses that certainly needs to have his
brains examined 1t is all that has been
said for it and more. One day is almost
worthless as far as seeing it is concern
ed, for some exhibits alone would re
quire a day. But by all means It should
be seen and every resident Of the valley
owes it to himself to see it-by hook or
crook-between now and next Armistice
day

BOMB HURLED
At CONSULATE

MEXICO CITY, June "a. U.P)-
American ambassador Josephus
Daniels dismissed as the work of a
crank today the throwing OF a
bomb which damaged the chancel-
lery of the embassy.
The foreign office learned Of the
incident only through a police
man as Daniels made no report Of
ii. The foreign office sent him its
regrets and strengthened the guard
at the embassy.
Daniels, editor Of the Raleigh, N.
c., News and Observer and war
time secretary of the navy, and
members of his family were asleep
at 8 a. m. yesterday when dyna-
mite bomb was thrown into the
courtyard of the embassy. Several
windows were broken, including
one of those in Daniels private Of
flee. 1t was apparent that the
bomber intended no injury to per-
sons as it seemed his missile was
aimed at the offices.

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
HE WAS P4ROLED

In the news columns of this issue read
ers will find the story OF a man and his
wife arrested in Los Angeles on a charge
of stealing valuables from the movie
colony over a period of several months,
and valued at several hundred thousand
dollars.
The interesting thing about this case
is that the man in question was released
from state prison by the parole board
Just enc year ago, on June Is, 1884.
AT that time he had served five years
in prison for a similar offense. Those
who believe our state parole board is
criminally inefficient, have new fuel for
their arguments in the case of this man
Walter DeutSch.
There were three charges against him
on his first offense and he was convicted
on one, receiving a sentence of from one
to Is years. By direction of the trial
Judge the other two charges against him
were dismissed with the recommendation
that he should serve the maximum term
of 10 years.
When the parole board came to de-
eide the length of Imprisonment, 1t was
cut down by them to 10 years. Credits
for good behavior seem to have knocked
off another five years-sO that the man
accused of stealing goods valued at sew
CIdl HUUQI6U lHOuSdllO OOlle1Ao S'SbN@l1J
served less time than some poor devils
VINO have stolen much less and under
greater provOcation.
The charity" of the parole board in
this case is hard to understand. This
man, under its rules, was supposed to get
a Job and report regularly to the parole
officer He got Job all right, and he
may have reported to the parole officer,
but the latter wasn't doing the job for
which he is paid, or he would have made
it his business to find out just what sort
of lob" this fellow had.
Now the people are put to the expense
of trying this man again, those from
whom he stole have been subjected to the
annoyance and worry caused by the
thefts, and he will probably get another
"15 year term" to be served in five years,
then be let out again to get another
Job More and bigger prisons would
be cheaper in the long run than having
the parole board continue to operate as
it does.

he saw his daddy. Gaddy began
hopping toward him. Gaddy was
much excited.
"Oh, Daddyl" he exclaimed.

Giants, Gaddy. Well go softly and
look at them. don't believe they'll
harm us" Uncle Wiggily and Cad
dy went to the top of the hill.
There are the giants" whisper
ed the little rabbit, pointing paw.
Uncle Wiggily looked and what
do you think he saw? Why, just
some boys-real boys not rabbit boys
flying a kite. But to little Cad
dy the boys, whom he had never
seen before, looked like giants. They
were giants 10 him, as large as an
elephant is to you. Uncle Wiggily
laughed. SO did Gaddy when his
father told him the giants were
only boys. And if the onion will
stop making tears come in the eye
of the needle, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and t h e

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Con-
gress may shove through a billion
dollar spending program with little
ado but when it comes to personal
expenditures, the average congress-
man watches bis pennies as closely
as the next man.
That's one reason why Washing
ton taxi rates are, and long have
been. the lowest in the country.
When Washington taxi drivers
struck in protest at low fares dur
ing the Shrine convention, the first
persons to rise in denunciation were
the congressman.
Imperial Valley press., 1935-06-24

Congress each year sees to it
that taxi fares in the District OF
Columbia staE low.
They do this by adding a rider
to the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill which prohibits the
district from using any of the
money to pay the salary of any Of
ficial who orders the cabs to put in
meters.
By these tactics the congressman
keep the rates down SO that they
seldom have to pay more than 20
cents for a ride from their hotel to
the capitol and not more than 80
or 40 cents Tor a ride to any part
of the city,
