Hopkins Starts
To Spend Huge
Relief Budget

WASHINGTON, April 13 U.D -
Harry l.. Hopkins, relief admins
TRAITOR. today started spending the
S880.000,O00 appropriated for direct
relief in the $4,880,0O00 900 re-em-
rloyment bill.
He announced ALLEGATION of $113,-
Gel 1874 to states for April relief
The money will be used for general
and drought relief, cattle. tran
sients, emergency education and
student aid programs.
April allocationS were $19.274,84
below the $132,936,226 distributed
for March.
Hopkins withheld funds from
Georgia because the state has not
contributed any of its own money
for relief. He advanced funds to
Pennsylvania only for the first half
of the month, insisting the state put
up $5,00O.000 a month before more
money is allocated.
The state allocations for April in
cluded:
Arizona S567,l40; California (for
special program only and not in
cluding general relief, $816,235; and
Nevada $l89,700.
Hopkins said the April allotment
included funds previously made
available for expenditure this month
as we'll as grants to be made be-
tween now and May /.
The money came from the $125,-
100000 made available to FERA by
President Roosevelt Immediately af-
ter he signed the work relief bill

UNCLE WIGGILY'S BIG
ELEPHANT

All of a sudden, as Uncle Wiggily
and his family were sailing along
in their hollow stump bungalow
boat, which the flooded brook was
carrying along, they felt bump
and a knock, a shiver and shake,
a jiggle and joggle and then all
was still and quiet.
"What happened them?' asked
Mrs. Longears, who, with her
children bunnies. was slipping hot
chocolate and eating sandwiches
and cake in the living room. Nurse
Jane had brought in a midnight
lunch as the bungalow boat went
sailing along.
81 think we hit something, Z"
said Uncle Wiggily, taking time to
swallow the last of his carrot sand
wich slowly SO it wouldn't go down
his wrong throat.
"What did we hit?" asked his
wife, nervous like but still brave,
for she knew she must be brave in
flood time like this when the
brook made high by April rains.
Hit Shore
81 think We hit Shore said
Uncle Wiggily, taking cabbage
sandwich this time. He, too, was
calm and brave.
"What shore did we hit?' asked
Nurse Jane, as she went out to the
kitchen to make more hot choco-
| late, Forty 'leven sixteen bunny
boys and girls need lot of choco-
late.
81 think we hit the short of the
brook, - went on the rabbit gentle
man. "In other words we have
gone aground as many ship does
and we are no longer floating down
the brook
"Can you tell where we have
gone ashore or agrcund?' asked
his wife.
Uncle Wiggily looked out of a

WASHINGTON, April 13.-To be
a senate policeman you don't have
to know anything about arrests.
warrants, suDpoenas and the like.
But you do have to know some
senator well enough to get him to
appoint you to the job.
Senate policemen are among the
heneficiaries of the 100000 In pat
ronage jobs which majority sena-
tors distribute.
The senate policemen wear blue
uniforms, just like bona fide Of
ficers, but are not required to have
police experience . If something
really went wrong and the senate
needed protection, 1t probably
would call on the regular Washing
ton force or the army.
Senate officers do carry night
sticks, however. And on occasions
when he has reason to suspect
there may be trouble, the lieuten-
ant has pistols which he can dis
tribute. The only time that has
happened in recent years was on
the occasion of the bonus riots
here.

ployees are students.

bit gentleman, modest like, yet
brave. Nov we had all better go
back to bed and in the morning
we shall see what is best TO do.
Have no fears, we are safe on shore
and won't go sailing away in the
dark any more tonight
Back to Bed
So they all had no fears and
went TO bed and slept soundly, for
the hollow stump bungalow was no
longer twisting and turning and
bobbing up and down on the flood
waters of the brook.
In the morning Uncle Wiggily
opened the door, as Noah did in
his Ark. and looked out. His wife
asked him: "Where are we?"
"a long ways from home,' said
Mr.. Longears.
"How are we ever going to get
our bungalow back where it be-
longs?" asked Mrs. LongearS. "We
don't want to stay here so far
down the brook"
"Let me think said Uncle Wig
gily. And while he was thinking
along came big elephant who
used to work in circus, but, it
being hard times, he was out OF
work. "Mr. Elephant, you arc very
strong" said Uncle Wiggily TO the
circus animal. "Will you hitch
yourself to our bungalow and pull
1t back on the the cellar walls? I'll
pay you for it"
"Right gladly will do it then, "
said the elephant. So he made
himself a harness of strong rope
vines from the woods. He used
some of the roller skates of the
bunny children to make wheels to
put under the bungalow SO it would
| roll easily and before noon the ele-
phant had, with much heaving and
tugging, hauled Uncle Wiggily Is
house back where it belonged
The flood was over The brook
went down. Everybody was happy
and if the cabbage will stand on its
head and peel bag of potatoes 1 II

hard, but the bungalow was no
longer floating along. The rabbits,
however, could hear the rushing
roar of the flooded brook outside
the door.

Ell CENTRO GETS CONVENTION

Selection of Ell Centre as the 1886 con-
vention city for the Broadway of Amer
lea association, is indeed gratifying news
to this city, Imperial Valley and the en-
tire Southwest.
The Broadway of America, the out
standing transcontinental highway route,
is of supreme Importance to California.
The greater percentage of vehicular
traffic into the state enters via the
Broadway at Yuma. The Importance of
the tourist trade to California cannot be
over-emphasized.
Imperial Valley has given fine sup
port to the Broadway of America in the
past and knowledge that the convention
will meet here next year is certain to in
crease Southwestern interest in the high
way.
The delegation which left here last
week was hopeful of getting the con-.
vention to come here and also to elect
first vice-president, as president of the
association. 1t was perhaps too much to
expect to be able to swing both objectives
and there is no doubt that Hetzel him
self would prefer having the convention
for El Centro than be elected president
He has been renamed to the vice-presi-
dency and will be in line for the presi-
dency next year and those who know him
also know that he will be more than de-
lighted to wait for year, dropping his
own advancement for the good of Ell Gen.
tro and Imperial Valley.
Incidentally this city won the conven-
tion from Richmond, Virginia, hard
city to beat.
With the return of the delegation plans
will be started to make the 1886 Broad
way of America convention an outstand-
ing event in which Imperial Valley and
the entire Southwest can participate.
