Since January, 1941, and up to now, excluding battle casualties, the death rate has been the lowest in the history of our Army. During World War I, one patient of each three with meningitis died; now only one in 20 dies. Prompt diagnosis, efficient care and sulfanoamides have made the difference. The American public owes a debt of gratitude to the medical men that it will never be able to fully repay. The countless thousands of men who will return after the war, thanks to the skill of doctors serving in the front lines, wil not forget that debt. “DIAMOND DICK” GOES WEST At a time when new American aces are being born al‘most daily, and when news dispatches tell a continuous story . of their expert marksmanship and their daring exploits, the death of that fabulous character, “Diamond Dick”, might esPublished Semi-Weekly, Monday ana luu:scdsy } at Nevada City, California, and entered as M> . matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, 1.879. : SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance). -.--.---.-------------+$3.00 Oy aay Cicy . oe Rami nO ia gence ee Neteaonteeyydt IE AIRE eG aay 30 cents 8 ? f JUST WONDERIN I wonder, gracious land, i ‘Wherein from strand to strand, .

The love of money, which we are told, is the root of all evil, lurks to a greater or less degree in almost every human} heart; but when it reduces one’s appreciation of a _ beloved hymn to four little words, danger signals should be flown. It is disturbing to realize that there are, those who place a} distorted meaning upon the words, “I love thy rocks,’’ and think only of ill gotten gains as they sing; but such seems’ to be the case. There are those, and may their tribe decrease, who betray their country for-a few besmirched pieces of silver.

To these ‘people and others of their ilk, America is simply a field for exploitation. They care little for her rugged shores and sunlit plains, her flashing streams and smiling cities.

Dr. Richard Tanner, 74, better known to America as “Diamond Dick"’, whose amazing feats of . marksmanship electrified countless audiences at Wild West shows before the turn of the century, died quietly, with his boots off, at Norfolk, Nebraska, last week. There was nothing colorful about his death; it was very mundane, indeed. But to oldsters, who adventured with him vicariously in the years gone by, his passing marked the end of an era. When he was in his early twenties, ‘‘Diamond Dick’”’ saddled a horse at Lincoln, Neb., and rode it to New York and back—5,500 miles, the longest horseback ride on record. Then he toured the Wild West circuit—and his “wing shots’’ became the talk of the nation. ‘Diamond Dick’’ had everything that tired business men wanted—and that farm lads aspired 'to. And he became the great American legend. “Diamond Dick”’ is gone—and how the pulp paper magazines will miss him. But if he was conscious to the last, he probably died smiling, knowing that even as he passed into eternity other ‘Diamond Dicks’ were blazing a trail of hot lead over Europe and the islands of the Pacific. Actually, “Diamond Dick” will always be with us, as long as we are a young natign, with all that it takes to defend our borders. We imagine “Diamond Dick”’ knew that as he cahsed in hisichecks and that he was happy in the knowledge. CALIFORNIA FARMER LEADS THE NATION For the first time in history, the state's annual cash farm income exceeded one billion dollars in the past year, according to the ledger. Reason: California farmers, in spite of almost insuperable handicaps, have stepped up their production to feed millions more than in ordinary years. Their produce daily goes to the commissary departments of every branch of the armed services and to production centers feeding great new concentrations of war workers. ‘now appear to be hollow; there are also indications of ‘faulty bridge work and shifting partial plate, which court acting in the capacity of dental surgeon, may find _ it necessary to readjust or perhaps, eliminate entirely.

And I’m hoping that President Franklin will keep on swinging his big stick until it comes in contact with the head of John Lewis.’-—A! Merriam Conner. ‘THE WOMEN JOIN UPS Since the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps has been authorized by congress to strike the word “auxiliary” from its title, and has been constituted as a regular branch of the United States Army, it is reported that enlistments have picked up tremendously. And it is announced that the Women’s Army, which now has an enrollment of only a little more than 65,000, may be expanded to 600,000 members by fall, when it will attain full military status. Commentators in the women’s magazines will doubtless make great point of the fact that the women, having attained “equal rights” in the Army, are now showing a new disposition to join up and do'their part to relieve men who are needed at the front. But more important to the country as a whole is the fact that the sudden spurt in feminine enlistments may avert the drafting of tens’of thousands of fathers, who otherwise would have been.-called up for service this fall. Heretofore, the women have contended, they were considered by the public as a sort of glorified kitchen police—a status which they vigorously protested. Now they are to have the same rights—end except for fighting—the same duties as men wearing the same uniform. While we hope that the day never comes when American women will be called upon to)@ highly dangerous one is apparent. fight in the lines as Russian women are doing, we are glad that the term WAACS has been shortened to WACS—and that the ladies, having won their point, are joining up in rapidly increasing numbers. We can’t imagine what effect this will have on the American Legion conventions of the future, when the ladies turn _out in full regalia to swap yarns and share honors with the men, but perhaps it will give new zest to such reunions. At any rate, thousands of men with families will be permitted to stay home and take care of their own because the Women’s Army was permitted to attain full stature. WILL NOT. FORGET It is often said that war is harder for those who remain behind than for those who go. Millions are now experiencing the sleepless nights, the ceaseless worry of remaining at home while others go to war. No small source of concern over loved . ones in the service is the fear that they may not receive proper medical care. This can be dispensed with. The men in: military service are receiving the best that medical science can give them. In reviewing the military medical record of the first year _ after Pearl Harbor, the American Medical Journal says: “‘During the year the only serious incident from a medical point of _ View was the jaundice associated with inoculation against low fever. The first week of February, 1943, found a typi-. the supreme} The 31 per cent “hike” in income shows mainly in the fruit, vegetable, grain and citrus brackets which account for 66 per cent of the increase. Livestock and livestock products make up 32.6 per cent of it and government payments 1.26 per cent. On paper the figures look rosy. Actually the farmer still is struggling in the maelstrom of increased production expense, curtailed transportation, machinery shortage and a minimum of labor at a maximum of cost. He has made his remarkable showing by his own dogged toil, along with that of his farm family—and by his determination to produce the food Uncle Sam needs. He is still in a comparable position with the teacher and other professional workers whose costs have soared along with everybody else’s. but whose real earnings have not gone up a whit. The farmer is due-a vote of thanks, for even in these difficult times he is still maintaining one of California's produest “firsts’’—as leader of all the nation in farm produce. BLOCKADE TO VICTORY _ In time of peace and friendly interchange among nations, foreigners often have smiled indulgently at the average American's disposition to see the bright side of things. In time of peace Americans can afford to enjoy the Polyanna title of “the most optimistic people on earth,” for good cheer and happy hopefulness are excellent gualities in their place. ne wonders, however, if the habit of unthinking optimism isn't a bit outmoded for war time. The general expectation of early victories and cheap ones is too prevalent to discount. Recent authoritative surveys indicate the American people are yet not thinking in terms of major sacrifice—and bettors have begun to give high odds on a short war. That government and military leaders consider the trend Secretary of the Navy Knox; speaking to San Francisco bay area leaders gathered at the Paace Hotel on his recent trip to the Pacific Coast, admitted that the allies now have the initiative in the Japanese war. But possession of the initiative,” he warned, ‘‘does not mean that the war is won or that victory is just around the corner. “There is nothing that would warrant any such optimism! The enemy, both east and west, is still in possession of of bulk of his strength!” ; Light-hearted optimism is a splendid character trait, normally. But too much of it in war time—so much that it persuades people that their individual war effort is not needed— is an unthinking blockade to victory, a dangerous weapon against our own fighting forces.
