house, but we can't find one. II
is very sad for us
"Yes, it must be- said Uncle
Wiggily. but why don't you come
and live with me in my bungalow?
My wife wants you to come. Please
90! Live with us in the bungalow
until spring and then you can find
new little house,

"Oh, thank youH" buzzed the
Squigglers, "but your bungalow
would be too large for u.s. We would
get lost in it. We wouldn't know
how to find our way around and
somebody might step on us.
That's So" said Uncle Wiggily.
but wait! I have an idea! I think
l can fix up for you, inside my
bungalow, a little tiny house that
will be just the right size for you.
If I do will you Gomez"
Right gladly we will" buzzed
the Squigglers.
"Then I'll hop home and make
the little house for you," said the
rabbit. "I'll come back and get
you in little while" Quickly hop
ping to his bungalow, Uncle Wig
gily made a little house for the
red-spotted Squiggle Bugs. And
what do you suppose he made the
house of?
Why, a peanut shell! Taking the
nuts out of the shell, Uncle Wig
gily glued the two halves together
again. He made little hole in the
shell for a door and other little
holes for windows. There was a
tiny bath room in the peanut shell
house, a kitchen, living room and
bedroom. The furniture was made
from match sticks and when the
rabbit gentleman hoped back to
the woods to get the Squigglers
and they saw their little house
they were so happy that they
danced jig. They moved in and
they lived in the tiny house in the
warm bungalow all winter.
Now if the salt cellar will Sprin-
kle some sugar in the vinegar to

you next about Uncle Wiggily's lost

that it would be tough to step from
the diamond to the solitude outside

He repeated that he did not ex-

THE WISE COURSE

Following the regrettable tragedy here
Sunday, in which two men were killed.
The Press suggested to B. A. Harrigan.
county agricultural commissioner, that in
struction schools might be started here
to train local residents in packing let
tuce, cantaloupes and other valley pro-
ducts, thereby eliminating the practice of
hiring outside labor for these jobs.
10 this practice-importing outside
labor-which is a throw-back to the pio-
neer days when labor here was scarce.
can be attributed practically all of the
difficulties between producers, shippers
and workers. This has been admitted
by more than one shipper.
The agricultural commissioner approx
ed Of the idea which appears to find
general favor throughout the valley, the
Calexico Chronicle terming the develop
ment of local labor supply lone of the
most constructive suggestions as a per-
manent remedy for the epidemic of labor
trouble which breaks out with discour-
aging regularity in Imperial Valley"
Shippers have also endorsed the idea,
as has G. B. Moore secretary-manage
of the Western Growers Protective asso-
citation, who passed the idea on to the
Chronicle.
In the past, it has been the frequent
CApC1lCISS VI uleu anu
women residents of the valley, and others
not quite so young, on applying for work
in the packing sheds, to be turned down
with the statement 1--WE have experienced
crews who come in from the coast each
year" This short-sighted policy on the
part of the shippers got them by in
normal times, but it has proved BOOM
erang in more ways than one. A prom
inent shipper admitted that last Friday
before serious trouble had developed
here.
At present there is an abundant sup
ply of local labor. If outsiders" can
qualify for these jobs local residents
can also, for the outsiders" have no
monopoly on brains. Establishment of
a permanent local labor supply to handle
the various crops of the valley will prove
the solution to one of the produce indus
try's most perpleXing problems. 1t is
certainly deserving of the fullest coop
Grafton on the part of all concerned.

COURTS CAN BE FUNNY

Our courts, instead of being conducted
with the full dignity of the law, can be
remarkably odd institutions, as is we'll
known.
% The Hollywood style in which the
Hauptmann trial became something of
sideshow, is still fresh in the public mind,
with the jurors of that trial considering
the idea of entering vaudeville.
There are numerous other examples of
the courts being conducted in a manner
not exactly coinciding with what the
forefathers of the country had in mind.
A minor San Diego court this week
presents situation which would be hu-
morOus in the extreme if it did not cast a
grave reflection on the American system
of Jurisprudence.
Three dozen Chinese have been arrest
ed in the coast city on felony charges,
listed as conspiracy to violate the state
lottery laws. Most of the Chinese speak
and understand English we'll enough to
answer the purposes. Others do not,
and it became necessary to obtain an in
terpreter to make it possible to find out
what they had on their minds.
Did the court send out for some edu-
Gated Chinese, disinterested in the case,
to act as interpreter? 1t did not. One
of the defendants was sworn in for that
job
We recognize the high regard which
the Chinese are supposed to have for
honor, and will concede for the sake of
argument that this Chinese performed
the functions of interpreter satisfactor-
lily. 1t was only an arraignment in a
justice of peace court, with no essential
evidence indicating the guilt or innocence
of the accused involved, and therefor not
of exceptional Importance.
But we do hope San Diego makes
different arrangement when the defend
ants come to trial. 1t is placing too great
a burden on a man to expect him to in
terpret testimony which might subject
his friends to punishment. And when he
comes to question himself, is he going to
be unbiased or will he follow the un-
questionably natural inclination to look
out for number one?'
If this accused man continues to do
the interpreting in this case, he is going
to be the court, and the judge and other
officials, and justice itself, will be at his
mercy. Gilbert and Sullivan could have
made another smashing hit out of such
situation.

tied to a chair. The men burned
his fingers in an effort to force him
to reveal the hiding place of con-
cealed wealth they believed was in

William E. Tanner and Harry c.
Brooks were convicted of the tor

They had lived there long time,
very happy, and Uncle Wiggily had
often called to see them. The last
time was just before Christmas and
thinking he might not see them
again before the holiday, the rab-
bit gentleman gave his Santa Claus
present then. 1t was box of red
paints with little brush.

reached the place where the old
oak tree had stood it was no longer

down.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S LITTLE
HOUSE

Once upon a time Uncle Wiggily
thought he would go to the woods
to see his two tiny friends, the red
spotted Squiggle Bugs,
II haven t seen the Squigglers
since quite a while before Christ
mas" Uncle Wiggily told his wife
as he got ready to hop away.
~ hope you will find them well,
said the lady rabbit. 'sGive them
my. love and ask them to come and
see us some time.
II shall, my dear Uncle Wiggi-
ly answered.
Away he hoped to the woods
where the Squiggle Bugs lived in a
hole made by a Woodpecker bird
in an old oak tree. The Woodpeck-
er drilled the hole in the tree with
his sharp, strong beak to get at a
worm. And when the Woodpecker
had taken out the worm the hole
was left so the Squigglers moved in.

friendship Of the American public,
which was highly critical Of Europes
postwar policies. But the anti
Semitic and anti Catholic crusades, to
say nothing Of the militarist psychol-
ogy and intolerance OF the National

a European conflict, Britain would
not intervene, and that her vague
threats ought not to be taken very
seriously? That, moreover, having
discredited itself, the Baldwin cabinet
will be swept of the board at the
forthcoming general elections and
make room for a Labor administra-
ton which will bring the country to
complete paralysis on the interna-
tional plane?
OF course, we are sure that such q

ize. But the very fact that such

tanned is enough to bring the Euro
pean peril 10 a head. Only the
adhesion of England could invest the

power to make it an effective deter

Trail Back for Governor.

But the inferences were all to the
effect that the Progressive Governor
of wisconsin and the New Deal Presi-
dent Of the United States did not see
eye to eye on the ultimate solutions of
the Nations economic problems, and
that when the next fork of the New
Deal highway appeared the Governor
might be found hitting the trail back
toward orthodox progressive Repub-
llcanism. Indeed, the Governor deh-
nitely proclaimed that the Republican
insurgents of his fathers time had the
right fundamental economic prin-
ciples" for the present emergency, and
that with the help of a rather strong
paradox I believe that preserving eco
nomic individualism is the most i'm

minister too many things. There are
any number of fields Of human ac-
tivity too big and complicated for

ness corporations too big and un-
