IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
TWO GOOD APPOINTMENTS

Appointment of Judges Leon Yankwich
and A. S. Stephens to the United States
district court bench, has met with virtu-
ally unanimous approval throughout
Southern California.
Perhaps the best proof that the ap-
pointments are excellent is the hearty
approval given by members of the bar,
those who know the new federal Judges
better than any.
As a member of the Los Angeles su-
perior court Judge Yankwich has been
outstanding as q Judge. There have been
instances when judges of that court
have not been creditable to their profess
sion or to their oath as judges, but no
blot has ever been made on the record
of Judge Yankwich. Newspapermen in
particular are pleased with his appoint
ment Judge Yankwich being familiar
name to the fourth estate through publi-
cation of highly excellent book on
newspaper libel, a subject on which he
IS recognized as an authority.
Judge Stephens moves to his new dut-
les from the second district court of ap-
peal, of which he has been presiding
justice. 1t is this department in which
Judge Gavin Craig, recently convicted of
a felony, sat for a number of years, and
still attempts to hold office. His record
is in startling contrast with that of the
man on whom further hOnors are con-
ferred
Their many friends wish Judges Yank-
Wich and Stephens long years of service
on the federal bench. They are entitled
to it by long and honorable records in the
state courts

Let's go home and put on our
white pants. Then Uncle Wiggily
may think we are sporting friends

Indeed it isl" agreed the Fox.
"All right, We'll put on our white
pants and see if we can fool Uncle
Wiggily."
Just the Thing
So the Bad Chaps hoped away
to do this and Uncle Wiggily
hoped on to get the purple or vio-
let colored ink for Nurse Jane. He
had not gone far through the woods
before he came to bush on which
grew some dark purple berries. At

UNCLE WIGGILY'S INK
BERRIES

One day Uncle Wiggily saw
Nurse Jane Fuzzy WuZzy sitting at
her kitchen table with some sheets
of paper and a pen in front OF her.
What are you going to do, Nurse
Jane?" asked the rabbit gentleman.
Il am writing down the names OF
all your bunny rabbit children, y
the muskrat lady housekeeper an
swered. Il am also going to put
down when their birthdays come so
there won't be any miXup as there
was yesterday You had to go out
and find a Squiggle Bug to help
eat the birthday cake I made"
so I did" chuckled Mr.. Long
ears. well, writing down the bum
nies' birthdays is a good idea" !
Il can't do it until you get me
some ink" said the houSekeeper
muskrat Il thought I had some,
but find my bottle is empty. Will
you please get me some?"
Yes" said Uncle Wiggily kindly,
Il will. I'll put on my white trous-
ers and hop to get you some ink
Perhaps in getting the ink I may
have an adventure"
Stylish Color
Il hope So" said Nurse Jane.
And if you don't mind, please get
me some purple ink. I think that
is the most stylish color in which
TO write down the birthday dates,
don't you?"
"Oh, yes, of course" answered
the rabbit gentleman.
Away he hoped, over the fields
and through the woods, wearing
his white trousers, which made him
look quite summery and sporty
like. Besides wearing his white
trousers, Uncle Wiggily also had on
his pink, twinkling nose and a cap.
His tall silk hat was too hot to
wear on a warm August day.
All of a sudden, as the rabbit
gentleman was hopping along, the
Fox and the Bob Cat began roam
ing the woods. The two Bad Chaps
were each wearing black trousers,
but as soon as they saw Uncle Wig

Often, when a boy rabbit, he had
crushed some of the poke berries
in a cup and made purple ink of
them.
"Ill take some of these poke ber-
ries to Nurse Jane" said Mr.. Long
ears. "She can make purple ink
from them" He made a basket of
birch bark and filled it with the
poke berries. taking care not to
spot his white trousers. AS Uncle
Wiggily was about to go home, all
of a sudden along came the Fox
and Bob Cat in their white pants
They got close to Uncle Wiggily
before he knew who they were, for
seeing the sporty trousers, he
thought they might be his friends
But when he saw the Bad Chaps
the rabbit gentleman quickly
squeezed out some Of the purple
poke berry juice and threw it on
the white pants of the Fox and the
Bob Cat spotting them all up.
"Oh, woe is usl Woe is usl' they
cried. And the Bad Chaps were so
ashamed of their spotted white
pants that they ran to the cleaners
without harming Mr.. Longears at
all. The bunny laughed, took the
ink berries to Nurse Jane and she
wrote out the birthday lists. So if
the lightning bug doesn't burn a
hole in the mosquito netting, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily's
toothache.

swer the purpose.
As It is now, California and Arizona
seem to be bent on giving to the world
an idea Of what the Kilkenny cats did
fight to the finish
Arizona has filed a protest with the
federal government over the All-Amer-
lean canal project, claiming that Cali

newspaper dispatches state, because Gov
ernor Merriam has refused to extradite
man whom Arizona alleges wrecked
one Of the finance companies in Phoenix.
Governor Moeur is quoted as expressing
the belief that there are more things
than a doubt of the mans guilt or inno-
eence concerned in the refusal of the Cal
ifornia governor to surrender him.
Going back through history we can re-
call the Arizona military and naval ex-
pedition up the river to halt Parker dam,
the ong-drawn-out battle against the
Boulder dam project, ArizOna's refusal
to sign the Santa Fe compact, and nu-
merous other California VS.. Arizona in
cidents.
OF course from an "unprejudiced"
viewpoint, Arizona has always been in
the wrong and California has been in the
right. 1t does seem pity that two states
whose borders parallel a long distance
and who have SO much in common, have
to do so much ScraDping
We don't seem to have much trouble
with Oregon or Nevada, so it must be
that Arizona has a perpetual chip on its
shoulder, or is California wearing the
chip?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Memo
TO Rep. Sam B. Pettengill (Dem0

! The name is Franklin D. Roose-
welt and the d. stands for Delano
in case there is some confusion
( about it. The name is getting
pretty familiar to most folks by
now, probablybecause its owner has
been President for something over
two years and five months.
Oh. yes-the reason for this
memo is that letter you sent Mr..
Roosevelt on the utilities holding
company bill.
This is the way the secretary ad-
dressed it:

The largest print shop in the
world-the government printing
office here-is finally going to
share in the general improvement
and refurnishing Of federal build
ings in the capital.
The printing office long ago
flowed over the walls of the huge
building which was erected 80 years
ago as its permanent home.
This was originally a seven story
structure but since then one story
has been added and an eight story
addition built In addition, sur
rounding buildings, some of them
as much as 79 years old, have been
taken over.
Now congress has authorized eX-
penditure of IS ,885,000 with s2,000,-
600 Immediately available TO demol-
ish these old buildings and erect a
modern, fireproof eight story addi-
tion which will be nearly as large
as the main plant.
The printing office already is a
good-sized place. 1t has some y
acres Of floor space.
Just about all OF the government
printing is done in this plant.
That means millions and millions
Of documents, pamphlets, books,
brochures, maps ,engrayings and
what-not
The Congressional Record IS
printed there as well as the ever
mounting files Of reports and pub
lications Of all the government de-
partments.
In connection with the new
plant. the government is going TO
buy up some adjoining land for a
warehouse into which railroad
tracks will be laid so the huge ship
ments of paper and other supplies
can be brought right in.
It now takes fleet Of % large
trucks, working constantly, TO haul
in paper and haul out the printed
products of the office.
The office uses nine carloads OF
paper a day.
Here's one item giving some idea
of the magnitude Of the printing
office business. The office prints
more than 2,5OO.0O0O 600 postcards a
year And that's just a routine
small-time job.
