"Oh, yes, always, - said the rab-
bit, trying not to laugh. Come
on, think I see an adventure at
the top OF the next hill -
Well, thank goodness for that"
puffed the pig Then I can rest. -
The WoOzie Wolf
Uncle Wiggily hoped up the hill.
Twisty waddled up the Mill And
when they got there they saw the
adventure. It was the Woozie Wolf.
He was waiting for them. But no
sooner did Uncle Wiggily see the
Wolf than he turned and hoped
down the hill, calling to Twisty:
"Come on! Come on If you
don u want 10 be eatenl Run fastl'
The pig didn u want to be eaten,
so he ran faster than ever After
him ran the Wolf, bowling and
growing. Uncle , Wiggily hoped
fast and Mr.. Twistytail, even with
all his fat. caught up to him. To-
gether they ran away from the
Wolf They slipped, they stumbled,
they fell down and jumped up.
They leaped over fallen trees, they
popped over frozen brooks. once
they slipped on the ice and slid.
Once they fell and rolled down hill
in two dozen somersaults. But at
last they got out of the woods and
away from the Wolf. They sat
down TO rest In Uncle Wiggily IS
bungalow and Mrs. Tyigtytai1 was
there.
"Why, Twisty!" she grunted.
How thin you are. NOW I can
dance with you, and she did, then
and there Twisty had run off a
lot OF fat in his adventure. And

FATHER TIME
TR0UNCED YOU
MR.. JEFFR|ES

LOS ANGELES. March 5. (U.P)-
An intimation that he was drugged
the day 25 years ago when he lost
the world s heavyweight champion
ship to Jack johnson in Reno, was
made here today by James j. JEFF
fries in a copyrighted interview in
the Los Angeles Post Record.
The former champion, who now
resides on o farm near Burbank,
was quoted as having said he didn't
know what happened any time dur
ing his losing fight with his Negro
opponent.
Jeffries did not explain why he
had waited 25 years to reveal his
suspicious.
Jeffries had been retired from
the ring for six years when he tried
his unsuccessful comeback against
johnson.
WAS I drugged?' he said. "I'll
answer that this way: 1 got food
poisoning for the first and only
time in my life, several days be-
fore the fight. 1. don't remember
the day before the fight, the day
after the fight, or the fight itself
I don I remember seeing Johnson
in that ring. But who could have
/ slipped me a pill?'
The veteran battler-he S now SO
years old-also revealed that years
after the fight he learned one OF
the trusted men in his camp had
/ bet S35 900 on johnson to win.
q" And that was before I got sick, -
| Jeffries said. ~ didn It know about
/ the bet until Is years after the
fight. A friend showed me the bet
ting telegram and some others that
left no doubt in my mind. Some
body gave me something, but ]
won't name anyone now. :"

! champion said. "Tom Sharkey
would have killed him. Corbett
would have pecked him to pieces

knocked him down in three rounds.

UNCLE WIGGHY AND
TWISTY'S ADVENTURE

Uncle Wiggily was hopping away
from his bungalow one day when
he heard some one calling after
him:
"Wiggy! Wiggyl Wait for me!'
It was a grunting voice and Mr..
Longears thought he knew who was
speaking. He made sure moment
later as he turnet ar saw his fat
pig gentleman friend, Mr.. Twisty-
tail, waddling after him.
"Oh, hello, Twisty!'' greeted the
rabbit gentleman.
Hello" grunted the fat pig.
"I'rn glad caught you. I'm COM
ing with you if you don't mind. -
81 don't mind at all-glad TO

"But I am only going adventur-

sTThat' IS where I'm going!'
grunted Twisty. II want to have
an adventure with you. There will
be enough adventures for each Of
us, won't there?"
"Oh, yes, Twisty. But you never
cared for adventures before. -
~ do now" said the gentleman
pig. "You see I am getting so fat
my wife won't dance with me any
more. She says she's ashamed to
be seen waltzing with me. So the
only thing for me to do is TO have
an adventure. Adventures take the
fat off and make you thin, don i

"Well, yes,' said Uncle Wiggily
with laugh. "That is if you have

No FRAUD IN ELECTION

Announcement by Attorney General
y. ). Webb, that he finds no cause for
action by his office in connection with
the recent election held by the Imperial
irrigation District. Is only what could be
expected by those who viewed the en-
cumstances surrounding the election in
fair and impartial manner
Thanks to the so-called star ballots.
the district was confronted with a most
unusual situation. To deny the star
voters the right to vote would have
caused trouble; to permit them TO vote
would be equally troublesome. The
"Gordian Knot was cut by permitting
them to cast their ballots which were
segregated from those ballots cast by
voters whose right to do so was not un-
der cloud and then permit the courts
to thresh out the question of the star
votes"
That is the course of action which has
been followed by the district officials
If it was an unusual course that does not
signify that it was irregular in the
meaning the word is usually accorded in
connection with disputed elections.
In substance the decision of the attor-
ney general means-"we find no law vio-
lated because Of the manner in which
the election was conducted. The ques-
tion of the legality of counting or not
counting the star ballots is something
for the courts to decide and we step out
of the picture to permit the courts to
decide the matter"
The attorney generals finding is based
on study OF a report submitted to him
by District Attorney Heald, following an
investigation Of the circumstances sur
rounding the election by his office.
The legality OF the star ballots" is
now up to the courts, where action TO
compel the district TO count them or to
show cause why they should not be
counted, has already been filed.
Without attempting to dictate a de-
cision before a case is heard, we doubt
very much that the star ballots" can be
found legal. They were created purely
and simply as means to circumvent
and evade the provisions of the proper
ty qualification law which is part of the
California statutes.
1t is pleasing news to learn that insin-
uations of fraud heard following the
election have been found untrue by the
attorney-general's office. 1t removes
any shadow from the districts case as
it prepares to go into court to contest
the validity of the star ballots
The abdicated king of Siam denies that
he ever was the brother Of the moon or
the keeper Of the tides. That comes near
making it unanimous.

HEADED FOR FLORIDA?

Possibility that Florida may take the
film industry from California is more
than inferred by Joseph NJ. Schenck, one
of the leading producers in the movie
world now in Florida presumably look
ing over the ground
Schenck is quoted as stating that Cal
ifornia's soak the rich" tax program as
eXemplified in a bill before the legisla-
ture proposing a 80 per cent tax on in
dustrial incomes, is the incentive for the
program which would make Hollywood a
Deserted Village" and enable Florida to
give US the laugh for many years to
come.
As a preliminary step toward the re-
moval Schenck proposes that Florida
raise S10,000.000 by popular subscription
to build motion picture studios which
would be rented to the film industry for
a stipulated sum of S250,000 year
That provision gives California
"breather" to prepare for battle. Rails
ing S10,000,0O0 by popular subscription
is a task at any time, and in these times
ii is an extremely difficult one. Money
is not like oranges and does not grow on
trees. Florida may have the $10,000,000
available but it is extremely doubtful.
Granting that Mr. Schenck may have
plenty of reason to be peeved over the
proposed 30 per cent tax, one is forced
to consider another angle of the case in
which Mr. Schenck figures prominently.
He has been a heavy stockholder in the
racing plant at Aqua Caliente, which
for years had a monopoly on the profits
of horse racing in the Southwest.
The last legislature legalized horse
racing in this state and the Santa Anita
track took the play away from Aqua
Caliente which has developed into some
thing of white elephant for Mr..
Schenck He, or his representatives
vent before the California racing COM
mission seeking an adjustment of dates
which would give Aqua Caliente
break" in the lucrative business. They
were turned down, and rather coldly it
must be admitted with the statement
that Aqua Caliente being in Mexico, its
fate was no concern of the California
racing commission. Mr.. Schenck still
has his white elephant.
1t may be that his great interest IN
moving to Florida lock, stock and bar
rel derives its incentive from a case OF
peeve at the state of California. Per-
haps not but time will tell and the NOV
les, as we'll as anyone else, know that
moving is costly.
