“God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are _ ready to guard and defend it.” — Daniel Webster Nevada City Nu Ese The Nugget is delivered to your home twice a week for only 30 cents per month Vol. 17.

Reading the commentators -and listening to them one, gradually comes to the conclusion that they Mrs. and all those interested in conserycharge ing but certainly none of them are in fallible prophets and we need feel no special reverence for them.

GARDEN CLUB TO MEET TUESDAY ideo ted States the home of Mrs. two wars, England is fighting two wars, with cal dressings : . Russia and Japan are at peace and from present indications are like ly to remain that way. So coming back to our comparison of this war with the last, we find in the Atlantic conditions that in many respects approximate those of 1918. Germany has suffered tremendous losses in manpower, far greater than anything in war No. a: Her industrial facilities, we know have suffered hugely due to constant air attacks. Her commun jeations, railroads, canals, “highways have taken a‘ and terrific beating and have long since ceased to be the efficient machine of three and half years ago. We have per haps a million troops in England, Ireland, and Africa, and they. are just beginning to throw their weight about, as the English say. We are training millions more. Our navy is bigger and better than ecer before in history, far better, in fact than it was before Pearl Harbor. Just as there are there was in 1918 so now plenty of signs of German weariness. military machine is Their great rolling back out of Russia. Internal dissension and in some places, despair, are re vealed in Germany‘s own broadeasts. The threat to conscript men in the conquered Europe for service populations in in Germany’s armed forces, is probably just. a Hitler threat, because it is doubtful if they would dare arm enemy populations. But it does indicate a certain degeneration of Nazi ideals, or degradation of the pure Aryan philosophy. z AFRICAN TRIBA SWORD TO FIGHT INSOUTH SEAS Another consignment 2 (( ontinued on Page Twe) cS — 8 . orable Ellen still home.
