It is now a day on which you not only pay respects to those who gave their lives in the Jast war, but a day on which you also reverently pray that America can remain a land of peace and freedom. This Armistice Day give a short prayer that peace shall reign on earth very soon . . . and resolve that you will do everything in your power to preserve the peace that America enjoys. Pledge yourself to be a good American . . . vow that you will protect the American way of living and thinking. o Challenge To Nevada City . The Tahoe Pacific Highway 20 Association at its meeting in Fort Bragg Saturday chose,Nevada City as the site for its next. meeting, which will be heldssome time in February. This honor is a distinct challenge to Nevada City’s reputation for hospitality. Every effort must be made to make the Tahoe-Pacific Highway~-Association members visit here one they will always remember and tal about. Fort Bragg’s reception to the association members was outstanding. The local group attending the Fort Bragg meeting stated everything was done to please them. It rests upon Nevada City to equal the outpouring of hospitality shown by Fort Bragg, which is seeking the designation as western terminus of the Tahoe-Ukiah Highway, of which Nevada City is the eastern terminus. E Gncnes as Well as Merchant Benefits By Spending of Money at Home . ! No one denies everyone has the right to spend the money they make wherever they please but the practice of spending it outside of Nevada ‘City and Grass Valley works an injustice to the average miner and worker as well as injuring the local merchants. Our towns are the financial.centers of the community in which you live and from which your living must come. The more money we can keep at home the better will be the financial conditions here. After all, thinking it over thoroughly, there is not a. single good reason why you should send one single penny out of town. Every necessity of life can be bought at home at as low a price as anywhere else, quality considered, and it is worse than folly to close your eyes against quality and look at-the price only. Nationally advertised merchandise, under the fair trade act, are priced the same in Nevada City and Grass Valley as they are in San Francisco, New York, Sacramento, or any other city. On other goods in many cases the prices here are cheaper than in the larger cities for the simple reason that the overhead is not as great. We believe the matter should be considered carefully before going or sending out of town to buy. If the financial conditions in the communities are kept in good condition, it will be‘easier for you to get credit, either from the retail dealer or from the banks, should you need it. If the community is drained of its money, retailers are unable to extend credit, and when their receipts fall off, the cash in banks must decrease accordingly and ready money is not easily had. © If you, the public, as consumers would give a little study to the fundamental principles of community success, you can readily see that it is just as much to your interest as it is to the merchants that you make every effort to spend your money where you make it. . fr ~of the federal Just Wonber In’ I wonder as the silence falls And stentor voices die away, If life will seem quite flat and stale Without the frenzy of the fray; How can we use the acrid words That came so glibly to our lips, Now that we have no further need For verbal goads and hissing whips? I wonder how you aré feeling now that our political war is over? My own sensations are predominantly those of relief. ! rejoice in the fatt that the country is again at peace, and mutter ‘in the words of R. L. S., “thank God, and there’s an; end of that!” . In retrospect, the late unlamented presidential campaign seems to have been a rather uncouth exhibition of national acrimony which reached its lowest and most disgusting point with the hurling of ancient eggs, and overly ripe vegetables. Of course these demonstrations of extremely bad manners were irrelevant, and beside the point. They solved no problems, answered no questions and afforded no arguments either pro or con. : = Perhaps the most ludicrous aspects of the campaign were the scoffs and jeers directed at one presidential candidate because—he spoke impeccable English with a “Harvard accent.” . Some of us who have prided ourselves upon the ability to speak Bostonian, or at least a worthy imitation of it, went so far as to put our English in moth balls and utter the letter r with all the efficiency of a Latin American. ' Those of us who claim direct decent from the passengers or crew of the Mayflower, should not sneer at those who may have had forefathers aboard the Half Moon. I think it was C. K. McClatchy who once said: “consistency, thou are a gem of purest ray serene.” There was however, one sinister note, uttered in the rumbling voice of John Lewis. “‘Aristocrat,’’ was the word, and that self same word uttered in that self same manner, moved many a maddened mob to bloody action. during the dark days of the French Revolution. ‘Oh well, it’s all over now,” as the turkey said upon, emerging from his hiding place several days after Thanksgiv. ing. : . True, one observing us from afar might feel impelled to exclaim, ‘Show those Americans hate one another!”’ But he would be mistaken; we really love one another, and the only real difference between democrats and republicans is the status quo. For instance, during this campaign, those ee wished to maintain the status quo were democrats and those! who wished to upset the status quo, were republicans. Four years hence if Mr. Willkie has been elected—at this writing returns are not all in—those who wish to maintain the status quo will be repubilcans and those who wish to upset the status quo will be democrats. It sounds complicated, but it’s not; all one has to do, is to keep his mind upon the facts and his eyes upon the status quo. Uncle Silas says: ““You can’t tell me that business isn’t picking up; when people have eggs, tomatoes, onions and lemons to throw away, I know the depression is over.” NEVADA COUNTY DEBT $578,008 Nevada county governments—the county, cities, schools a,nd special and assessment district owed $578,028 in bonded debt at the close of the fiscal year, according to a study of bonded debt in California counties, just made public by California Taxpayers association.
