shooting stars. All of a sudden
Bunty pointed again to the sky and
exclaimed:
"Oh. Unkie Wig! I think a piece
OF shooting star is coming straight
for US. Hadn't We better run and
hide in the bungalow
Have no fears, Bunty," said Uncle
Wiggily. Most shooting stars are
burned into dust before they reach
our earth. once a while a large
piece does fall and bury itself in the
ground. Such pieces are called me-
teors, if large, or meteorites, if they
are very small.

rabbit, holding her paw over her
pink nose so it wouldn't twinkle and
tickle her, Just the same, Unkie
Wig. I think that shooting star is
going to fall close to us and it may
nit us. We'd better rum"

NEW PARKING PROBLEM

Ell Centro's business section parking
problem, touched upon in this column
last week, will become even more trou-
blesome, temporarily at least, by enforce
ment of the new state Jaw requiring par
allel parking of cars on state highways.
The new law, passed by the last legis-
lature, is now effective, but will not be
enforced here Just yet, pending proper
signing on the streets affected.
Main street, throughout its length, and
Fourth street, from Main street south,
are state highways and parking on these
thorOughfares will be governed by the
new law
Parking space on Main street, already
at a premium the greater part of the
day, will become slightly less, due to the
new regulation. The amount of parking
space which will be lost is not SO large,
but under existing conditions, any loss
of space calls for plenty of consideration
on the part of motorists.
., Advantages of the new law include the
elimination of possible accidents from
drivers backing their cars out into pass
ing traffic 1t is also pointed out that
parallel parking will give a more tidy
appearance to the business section, as it
VIII eliminate eApOSlIlg UuHpeu ISuuSIS
and dilapidated backs of cars, many of
which owe their wounds" to the type Of
parking which the new law will eliminate.
Authorities feel that the benefits of
the new law will offset the disadvantage
of the lost parking space and believe
when motorists become accustomed to
the new law it will work out satisfactor-
Z lily.
r However, it is going to call for full
cooperation from car owners, and for
their consideration of others. Long time
parking in the business section, in vio-
lation of the two hour time limit, will
become more of a nuisance than ever.
Many Of the troubles arising from traf-
fic are due to selfishness and failure to
consider the rights and desires of others
If the new law and the congested parking
conditions can teach motorists to be
more considerate, that in itself will be
decided advantage arising from the new
regulation.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SHOOTING
STAR

One evening after dark, when
Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bunty were
sitting out in the garden of the Hol-
low Stump Bungalow, the little or
phan rabbit looked toward the sky
and said:
oh, Unkie Wig! See how high
the lightning bugs are flying
Those aren't lightning bugs,
Bunty," said the rabbit gentleman.
I'm the first place. they are too high
no fireflies ever go as high as
those flickering CLEANS you see. Be
sides, the time of lightning bugs
around here is over. There will be
none until next Summer"
Then what are they?" asked
Bunty.
Shooting stars. far up in the
sky" said Mr.. Longears.
He told Bunty about the stars,
how they are other worlds, not like
ours, for they are on fire all the
while, blazing and burning. Nor are
they like our moon, which is a sort
II world where the fires have gone
out, leaving it cold and pale, shining
by the reflected light of the sun.
But what makes the stars shoot.
Unkie Wig?" asked Bunty.
They aren't exactly whole stars,
Bunty," explained the rabbit uncle.
They are only small pieces Of stars
that have been broken off. They fly
toward our earth as pieces OF q
broken rock, struck with a hammer
fly in all directions. Some OF the
pieces Of stars fall close to our earth
and they rush so fast through the
air. faster than any plane, that the

WASHINGTON, Oct. Those
| solanaceous plants, known also as
endorsements of underground rhi-
comes and sometimes merely called
potatoes, have become the peskiest
problem ever to confront the new
deals9 Agricultural Adjustment
Administration.
If the battle over this lowliest
vegetable becomes much hotter, ac-
cording to the experts, potatoes
may become one of the principal
barrages of the coming presidential
campaign.

if not his diplomacy, took one look
at the bill, threw up his hands,
said it wouldn't work, and ind1cat-
ed he'd make no efforts to jail po-
tato bootleggers. That's where he
made his big mistake.
His congressional critics immed-
lately charged him with trying to
masquerade himself as a sort of
super congress and supreme court

was on the books and that 1t was
his Job to enforce it. They said

troop into Washington. Some Of
them said they thought all the AAA
crop control programs were bad
enough, but that the potato plan
was the worst. The great majority,
however, insisted vocdiferously that
they wanted Representative War
ren's bill to become a law, in fact
as well as in theory. They said
they wanted the secretary to pros

BEAUTIFYING THE CITY

Ell Centre should take an active inter
est in the program sponsored by the Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce. to beautlty
the city by planting 5000 oleander bushes
and an additional planting of palo verde
trees.
This attempt to make Ell Centre a
better appearing city, had its inception
a few years ago when numerous palo
verde trees were set out The results are
apparent to all who have watched the
trees develop.
One of the best examples of this i'm
provement can be observed in The Press
block on State street, q row of palo
verdes having been set out IN the park
wSy opposite the Imperial theatre.
These trees have developed splendidly
and already add considerably to the ap-
pearance of the adjacent property. Sim
lar results have been achieved in other
sections where the trees have been
planted.
Planting oleanders is a new step in
civic improvement. but there is every
reason to expect that the results will be
as satisfactory as have been the palo
verde paintings.
The Future Farmers of America, CO.
operating with the Junior Chamber of
commerce, are NOW pIdllIIlS TIE oeeuo
for both oleanders and palo verdes, and
the young shoots will be ready for dis
tribution next spring.
FL Centre can stand a great deal in
the matter of civic improvement The
heavy loss of trees because of the
drought last year, robbed the city of an
asset which it could i'll afford to lose.
Trees always have been none too plenti-
full here and every effort should be made
to encourage planting and developing
them.
This statement naturally, also applies
to oleanders and plants of all kinds.
Ell Centre can be made beautiful city
1t will cost little and requires chiefly
only the cooperation of those who will be
benefited most by any yimprovement-all
of us who call the city our home.
