Mount Saint Mary's Academy in Grass Valley is a great-. the game population of the national
er asset to Nevada and the adjoining counties than many
people realize. The yearly expenditure of the Sisters of
Mercy amounts to more than $23,000. An account of this
size, in any community, effects the entire population, whether
business man profesgipnal man or merchant. When the
grocer has money, he has more to spend for clothing, or movies, or the new car, or radio, or whether his particular desire
may be. The same principle applies all along the line, evczybody profits by money in circulation and all feel the pinch
when income is taken away. If for no reason other than a
mercenary one, the counties located near Grass Valley should
support this institution.
The parents of growing children appreciate the value of
Mount Saint Mary’s for its moral and educational standards,
and today as never before, children need to be well equipped
mentally and physically for their battle with the every day
world. Our parents, from their meager means, managed to
help maintain the Academy that we might enjoy the benefits,
surely we shall not fail to do as much for our children.
Many firms profit by the maintenance of the Sisters’
Academy. Their expenditure of $46,446 during 1932 and
1933 covers maintenance of buildings, insurance, taxes, fuel,
water, gas, electricity, telephone, food, advertising, stationery, shoes and repairs, dry goods, hospital and dental service,
drugs, freight and laundry.
Mount Saint Mary’s Academy, in common with all institutions, firms and individuals, has felt the depression. It has
now become necessary for the Sisters to appeal to the people
for financial assistance. They are confident the people will
respond to their call for aid and do everything possible to
make a success of the sales plan inaugurated by the merchants
of Grass Valley and Nevada City.
The drawing under the sales plan has been postponed un-.
til Saturday, June 23, in order to allow time for the remainder
of the tickets to be sold. There are ten valuable prizes offered. Get\your ticket today. Practically every store in Grass
Valley and Nevada City has tickets for sale, or they can be secured direct from headquarters, 219 West Main Street, Grass
Valley, or The Lace House, 207 Broad Street, Nevada City.
. Grandad Comes Back
Grandad came back to “‘them thar hills;”’
He'd “‘left ’ém long afore,”
To drift around the U.S.A.
For fifty years\or more.
He cast a cursoty glance about,
And every change decried,
Then, with a sadly jaundiced eye,
He toured the countryside.
\
At length the poor al iow returned
\
With acrimonius words
He couldn’t see the bright spring flowers,
Or hear the singing birds.
“T couldnt’ find Dad's Gulch,” he snapped,
“And sure as . was bo’n,I didn't recognize the place
——————
iar the Blue Point channel. Up-!
They're callin’ old San Juan!"\
\
“Where's Whisky Diggin’s? Tell\me that,”’
The irate oldster said, \
‘And where's the hoof defyin’ path\
That down Steep Hollow led? \
There’s nary trace of Dead Horse Flat, \
Shirt Tail an’ Lousy Level;
It sure does seem them good old camps \
Has gone plum to the devil!” \
‘Oh dad,”’ we cried, “don’t feel so blue,
We've many a fine town yet;
Twin Cities dad, and French Corral,
Town Talk and old You Bet.
Of course some camps have petered out,
But some are roaring still;
There’s Downieville, and Goodyear's Bar,
Pike too, and Depot Hill.”
“Well, mebby so,”” grandad ‘replied,
“There's life in Lava Cap;
But Jackass Gulch has gone to rot,
An’ Mad Mule’s off the map;
I guess I'll stitk around a spell
An’ swaller my regret,
For though some camps has petered out
Ther may be good leads yet.”’
And now grandad is well content,
Light hearted too, and meek;
He's panning out fou: bits per day
_ Downrhere on old Deer Creek.

—IN CALIF. DEER
Increased numbers of predatory
animals, inadequate winter range,
illegal hunting and disease are given
as the* principal causes of an 11 per
cent decrease in blacktail deer and
an eight per cent decrease in mule
deer in the 18 national forest of California, according to a report on wild
life compiled by Regional. Forester
S. B. Show, chief of the California
Region, U. S. Forest Service, from
observations made last winter by forest rangers. :
Measures recommended by the
Lrsret Service to conserve the 157,. 000. mule deer and the 95,900 blackitail deer now estimated as a part of
forests of California call for a onebuck bag limit for the entire state
Cand the protection of forked-horn
; bucks in all districts. Starvation
. such as occurred during the severe
. winter of 1932-33 because of inadequate winter range can be remedied,
according to Show, by the acquisi'tion of private foothill lands within
,and adjoining the national forests
‘and the management of these areas
‘ for game production. It is recombended that the hunting season in
district 1 and one-half, be shortened
15 days so as to make it agree with
{the season in district 1; also that!
the last 15 days be cut off the deer

again heard the story, my mind went

dominated by real ability. What I
mean to bring out is that they all
got the “breaks’’ almost necessary to
success. By this I don’t mean luck,
I mean that they had the understanding that their opportunity had arrived and they simply grasped it. The
moral is of course that we try to do
the same, anyway it is fun even if
we miss the grip on time’s forelock.

meat, vegetables and desert, then in
the summer the afternoon siesta for
about an hour.In this hour a boy
can find a lot of mischief to be done.
One day I went into the gooseberry
patch and filled my hat with ripe
gooseberries, as I came out from the
bushes I saw my aunt coming down
I quickly put the
hat on my head and nonchalantly
faced her. She asked me what I was
doing. ‘‘Just walking,’’ I said. Just
then she brought her hand down on
my head and that sort of personal
contract makes gooseberry jam. The
culprit stood revealed. Well to go
on with the meals, after the siesta
there was coffee with a lump of
reek sugar in the mouth—-four .
