He’s been in the papers quite a lot, uttering aphorisms, epigrams, edicts and social and economic profundities on a thousand and one occasions. We had, in fact, credited him with a high-powered vocabulary and,an amazing versatility. But now we learn the sad truth bright sayings are not his at all. He’s got a high-priced “ghost writer’’—in fact, 300 of ‘em at salaries totaling, per year—turning out’ those gay quips and ances. “year just for propaganda! about. uncle. / f spending 300 men and women “ghosts” who do the writing. Uncle, it seems to us, is getting to be quite a costly feliow. He used to complain about “Big Business” spending too rauch for press-agentry, but business is just a small-time piker compared to uncle. Uncle, we suspect, has become what the boys used to call “‘a publicity hound’’! We don’t mind that so much but $250,000,000 a year is a lot of money. We could do with fewer press releases. And uncle might then be able to pay off 1 some of his debts, or lower our taxes.—Contributed. $250,000,000 a Those $750,000 profound utterThe federal departments at Washington which are part of Uncle Sam's far-flung bailiwick, according to the findings of the Brookline.

Then, in addition, there was that $750,000 salary item for the "HITTING THE NAIL ON THE THUMB It is still pickling season and ‘all the ingredien:s are-in the markét, so if your pantry shelf is not yet complete with relishes try these two People Without Light “Give the people light, and they will find their way,” is Democracy's motto. It expresses faith in the. people, and their right to the truth. Witness _ the tragedies of countries where the people have no light, where public opinion is a reflection of fanatical propaganda, and where truth and honesty are in shackles. Recently the sadly goaded peasantry of Poland rose in desperation against a militarist regime. They appealed for a word of support to their great leader, Ignace Paderewski, ing in Switzerland, who from now _liv1924 to 1921 fought heart and soul for a united, self-governing Poland, and was its premier and foreign minister. The venerable, shaggy-maned pianist responded to their plea, urging the zcvernmcnt to let the people decide their own future:destiny and warning government leaders to avoid the disaster of dictatorship which smote Fascist Germany and Communist Russia. This would seem to be sound advice. And a national hero like Paderewski would seem to have a right. to comment upon his country’s affairs. But what happened? The government suppressed the newspapers which dared print his endorsement of the aims of the suppressed peasants. Thus public opinion which might have been mobilized to do good was deprived of the weapon of truth. ‘ Such events, it’s true, are not our immediate concern. But they help bring home to us the fact that an enlightened public opinion is not something constant and eternal like the mition of the sun and tides. It is a treasure whose price can only be paid with eternal vigilance !—Contributed.

It was prior to her leaving to attend the Grand Chapter held in Santa Cruz. The students of the Nevada City high school elected Calvin Fischer as school yell leader. Carl Murchie and Car] Hieronimus were elected as his assistants. The following article from the Nevada City Nugget of ten years ago will be of interest to old and young when we realize the great advantages of today as compared with chances of early pioneers when they attempted to go to school. (Special to the Nugget) 5 CAMPTONVILLE — A prize was recently offered to the local high school by Acton M. Cleveland for the best composition on a comparison of the schools of today with those of long ago. Some very good pieces were turned in and George Butz won the prize. This was mentioned in the} columns of the local newspaper and a reader from North San Juan sent the following to Mr. Cleveland: “T don’t remember when pop went to school, but I remember the time when I went to school 65 years ago, We had a schoolhouse built of var logs with the bark peeled off and the bark was pressed out straight and it covered the roof to keep out the snow and rain, and we had to pick distinguished Catholic prelates pre-j sent were: Rt.

We had our knees for desks, and now they have fine seats. Then we had blocks of wood cut off the right size, and they were not painted like the seats today. We had a-big burly looking man for a teacher. He looked like the kaiser only he wore green hide moccasins, and he had a flat wooden bat, ith one end whittled down for a and the second offense he would put in a hole one at a time. The hole was a dark place dug in the sand under “the log house. “We had our ABC book for every three scholars and one slate for every six. Pencils were made of red chalk.
