UNCLE WIGGILY'S GRAPE
FRUIT

Some times Uncle Wiggily hac
orange juice for breakfast in his
hollow stump bungalow and some
times the rabbit gentleman ha6
grape fruit. A grape fruit, you
know, is much larger than a grape
and 1t is larger than an orange.
Also it is more juicy than an orange
and 1t is more squirty, if you know
what I mean.
Uncle Wiggily could drink his
orange juice out of glass or he
could scoop the juice out of half
an orange without squirting any
of the juice in his eyes or the eyes
of any others who might be sit
ting at the table with him. But
ne couldn't do that when he had
grape fruit for breakfast.
No sooner did the rabbit put his
pointed spoon in the half of grape
fruit to scoop out one of the sec
tions than "Fizzll' some juice
would squirt out, and if Mrs. Long
ears or Nurse Jane happened to
be in the way the juice would go
in their eyes and pucker them up
so they could hardly see.
Excused Himself
OF course, each time Uncle
Wiggily squirted grape fruit juice
in the eyes of his wife or Nurse
Jane, he apologized and begged
their pardons and excused himself
But that didn't keep the eyes OF
the rabbit lady and the muskrat
lady from puckering up.
"Wiggy, you are very careless
about your grape fruit" his wife
said to him more than once as she
had to leave the table to wipe the
juice out of her eyes.
m sorry, my dear" the rab-
bit gentleman would say.

On the single item of purchases, the
taxpayer might we'll ask himself this
question-can Imperial county go into
the market and get paving material, or
road-building or road-maintenance equip
ment as cheaply as the State of Califor-
MIA buying in large quantities can? The
answer is obvious.
Control of all highways by the state is
a sound proposition. 1t is giving the
people, and particularly those in rural
areas, a fair break in road construction,
something that has been denied them for
years. There is no logical or sound ar
gument against the proposal. Every or
ganization and citizen in the county
should endorse it.

Greece May Recall
It's Former King

PARIS, April 26 UYP) - Former
King George of Greece may be the
first of Europe's little. army of un-
employed monarchs to get back his
job.
Greek royalist refugees and ennis
saries from the Greek parliament
at a meeting which lasted all day
yesterday, decided to work for
declaration of a monarchy in con-
nection with the impending con-
stituent elections, it was learned to-
day. George accepted the nonfiha-
ton.
So confident are the royalists that
the next lew months will see him
back on the throne which he lost in
1924, that George planned to go to
London today to talk to British
leaders and pick cabinet.

ROAD PROGRAM ENDORSED

Attention of readers is called to the
article IN the news columns of this issue
giving statistics on highway construction
IN imperial county, under the present
county set-up and by the state division
of highways.
10 eliminate the present system where
by each of the So counties in the state
operates its own highway department,
and the state as a whole maintains the
state highway division, the proposal has
been made by Governor Merriam to have
the state take over construction and
maintenance of all county roads, in ad-
dltlon To the state highways it now main
tains
Funds for building new roads and
maintaining them would come solely
from the gasoline tax and motor vehicle
registration fees, so that the plan will
not entail any additional expense upon
the people. In fact, it is estimated that
elimination of the So separate county
highway departments will reduce road
costs to the people of the state by ap-
proximately 30 per cent, give them bet
ter roads and more of them
The plan calls for jurisdiction of the
roads to be passed to the state on Oct
ober /, 1885; that the state shall eXpend
in each county the amount now return
ed to each county including one cent of
the gasoline tax and one-half of the net
registration fees ALLEGATION of one quar-
ter of one cent of the gasoline tax to
cities to be used in the maintenance and
improvement of streets other than state
highways; all state highway funds and
county funds shall be allocated and eX-
pended according to a definite plan and
appropriate classification Of highways
The only objection to the plan thus fan
offered is that it would enable the main
tenance of political machine" in the
state. Political machines have existed in
this and all states and will continue to
exist under our present political system
until the people decide to do away with
them
The present set-up enables political
machines" to be maintained in each
county of the state and without giving
the people the roads they could and
should have, as comparison of state
and county construction in Imperial
county over a 22-year period proves.
There is an old saying "In Union
There Is Strength" There is also eff
cheney and economy. During the World
war the Allies got no pace until they
agreed to a unified command and put
the armies under the command of Foch.
Under the present county set-ups
there are SO armies with SO leaders. The
result is chaos, confusion and heavy costs
to the taxpayers, and an objectionable
duplication of effort and equipment-all
of which must be paid for by the people.

DIESEL TRACTOR
AIDS FARMER To.
CUT HIS COSTS

''We hear much, these days, about
the Diesel engine. There are Die
sci trains, Diesel planes, Diesel au-
tomobileS, trucks and buses, but
the Diesel tractor seems to be out
stripping these other widely pub
licized applications of the compress
sion-ignition engine. How far this
movement has progressed and what
it may mean to all future farming
is featured in a recent book entitled
'Reshaping Agriculture by DR.. o.
w. Wilcox, prominent agricultural
authority, according to Charles E.
Anderson, of the Anderson
Tractor and Equipment Co.
To show the versatility and &C.
onomy of these modern engines,
DR.. Wilcox quotes the experience
of a western farmer who owns
Caterpillar Diesel tractor. In
addition to the field jobs, the ma
chine furnishes power for pumping
irrigation water to 2l0 acres of land.
On 65-foot lift the tractor deliv-
ers $4,000 gallons of water per hour
at a cost of 1875 cents. This is
equivalent to IA cents per acre
inch of water. Thus, this tractor
pumps enough water to duplicate
pinch rain at cost Of only Is
cents an acre. The same machine
can plow the fields on l gallon of
low priced fuel oil per acre and
harrow, pull rotary hoes or grain
drills at fuel costs as low as half
cent an acre.
That's the kind of operating &C.
onomy farmers have been looking
for, according to Anderson and that
is the big reason behind the sale of
thousands of Diesel tractors for
farm use during the past few years.

feel that the low bids submitted yester-

the reclamation service will approve
them and get actual work on the con-

The work is to be completed two and

is given the contractors. AS it is hoped
that work on the power facilities of the
canal will also be progressing during
that time, the end of that period should
see the entire project we'll toward COM
