AIR RAID ON
ADUWA TOLD
BY AMERICAN

Adds ABABA, Oct. 5. U.P)-
John Robinson, Chicago Negro, now
the star aviator of Emperor Halle
Selassie's army, was a witness Of
the Italian aerial bombing raids on
Aduwa.
He said he could not estimate
the casualties but that the estimate
given of 1900 killed was a great
exaggeration. His story as he told
it:
II arrived in Aduwa Wednesday
with dispatches, in my airplane. I
stayed overnight. -Four large bomb
ing planes arrived over the city on
Thursday at break of day and be-
gan bombing.
They caught the city asleep and
unawares. The majority of the in
habitants grabbed whatever belong
ings they could nearby and ran to
the outskirts.
There was great confusion, just
as there would be in any city where
houses were going up in smoke all
around. There was no panic.
II myself tumbled from bed
when I herad the bombs and ran
to where my plane was hidden.

Summer grain crops are maturing

vest later on.
Lettuce. carrots and cabbage
fields are being put in and alfalfa
is starting on its fall growth. Grape
fruit is coming on slowly and will
not begin to move until much later
than last year when harvesting
began october l. The irrigation

report states.
This office has carried on its

nothing develops in the way of
new pests the control that is being

A total of 342 ranches were Wis

UNCLE WIGGHY'S CORN
COB DOLLS

Once upon time as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping over the fields and
through the woods looking for an
adventure, the rabbit gentleman
stopped near a hole in the ground.
Down in the hole he heard voices.
Mother" spoke squeaky little
voice, did you bring home any corn
today
Just a few cobs, my dear" an
swered an older voice. Il picked
them up near the pen where the
pigs had been eating them
Are there any kernels of corn on
the cobs you brought home, Moth
er?" asked another childish voice
"a few kernels" was the answer.
But the pigs had eaten most of
them off. However, there will be
enough for our lunch. For supper
1 may find more corn cobs with
more kernels on"
II hope So" said a childish voice,
for I am very hungry"
Uncle Wiggily raised both his
long ears and listened to the voices
coming up out of the hole.
Couldn't Be Fairies
"If they didn't speak of being
hungry and having only a few kerr
nels of corn on some cobs the pigs
didn't eat, I would say they were
| fairies down in that hole thought
the rabbit gentleman. But if they
were fairies all they would need to
do would be to make wish and
they could have a fine meal on
golden plates set with diamonds. So
they aren't fairies"
Uncle Wiggily was wondering who
could be living down in the hole
when, all of sudden, a childish
voice spoke again, saying
; Mother, do you think Squeakie

yes, Squeakie," was the sad an
sWer. But a make-believe doll
would be better than none at all"
Nov, I'm sure these can't be

again. For fairies would only need
to wish for dolls and they could
have all they wanted. I wonder"
He had no time to wonder more,
for the mother voice spoke, saying:
Il can make you some dolls out of
corncobs. 1 can dress them in silk
for you, as there is plenty Of silk on
the huskS of corn outside the pigs
