Fruits and ‘vegetables have their
favorite habitats. In Taft in the lower end of the San Joaquin valley,
grow potatoes that are the peer of
those exported from Aroostook county, Maine. In both the Sacramento
Valley and San Joaquin the tomato
finds numerous localities where it
burgeons into superlative red lusciousness. Around Camptonville on a
few southern sunny hillside exposuses we believe the finest table grapes in California are grown. This is
their.season in the Nevada County
market. Wines produced from the
hillside grapes of Napa-and Sonoma
counties are undoubtedly ‘the best
in California.
But of all fruits grown north of
the Tropic of Cancer, none surpasses
the apple in popular esteem. The apple has a history, if we believe the
Good Book, as old or older than the
human race: We have often suspected that the apple grown in the Garden of Eden, was grown too far
south in the lush .bottom lands of
'tthe Euphrates in a climate far too
warm in the winter time for producing good apples.
When Eve, having herself partak.
en of one of these soft pulpy apples
grown under subtropical conditions,
offered her freshly created husband
one of these beautiful but inferior
fruits, we suspect that it. soured on
Father Adam’s stomach: and thus
gave the poor man dyspepsia. If this
were the case, and it seems a very
reasonable deduction, knowing what
the climate and soil conditions of the
Euphrates were umpty umpt thousands of years ago, and knowing
how brides often offer their grooms
raw fruit and vegetables rather than
assay hazardous experiments . . in
cooking a square meal, it seems very
. likely that the downfall of Man was
caused not by Original Sin but by
dyspepsia. For by casual observation
anyone may see for himself the vast
discontent that flows from this ailment.
If Adam could have only eaten an
apple from Nevada County the race
might have been saved from its many
tribulations. For Nevada County ap-*
ples are high in vitamine contents,
low in acid. They not only please the
eye with their lovely colors and delight the olofactory organ with a
fragrance in which is compressed all
the clean spicy odors of earth, but
they offer a world of pleasure to the.
palate, for mere masticationn of this
fruit approximates heavenly joy. And
after the apple is reduced to pulp and
has paused at its way-station in the
stomach, it rests there lightly, generously giving off its calories and
healthful beneficence to the human
system, renewing energies and zest
for living.
So there are apples and so-called
apples. The one Old Nick«offered the
unsuspecting bride, Eve, and innocent Eve. in turn offered to innocent Adam, was unquestionably
not only an inferior apple, but was a
poisonous apple that forever cursed
the race with dyspepsia. Hating these
mushy, acid ‘fruits, unquestionably
put Cain into a murderous. temper .
and caused him to slay his own brother.
It follows that before eating an
apple, first select, smell, view and
feel it. Test gently with thumb and
index finger. Three tests you can
give it before tasting it, for most
grocers will resent the customer’s
taking a bite out his apples. Tf it
tests well, buy a nickel’s worth, and
give it the final test. Slowly munch
an apple in the store all the while
engaging the clerk in pleasant. converse, because, if you don’t someone
may get ahead of you and order the
box while you are debating the question, Then if the final test, taste is]
satisfied, order the box, the
same box you bought a’ nickel’s
worth from, and found genuine. Otherwise you may get a box of so-called
apples from somewhere in the lush
low lands, and several weeks of dyspepsia into the bargain. Be safe, order Nevada County apples, Winesaps, Delicious, Pearmains, any kind,
they are all good if grown in Nevada
County.

Approximately fifteen
board feet of pine timber will be salvaged from the area that was fire

of Sacramento will have salvaged approximately ‘twelve million (board

it is hoped that they v'!l he able to

Lou Bichler then presented a,

The principals in this ceremony

HUNDRED LIQUOR
DEALERS FROM 3
COUNTIES MEET
Over a hundred liquor dealers,
members of the California Federated
Institute gathered this afternoon in
the banquet room of the National
hotel to hear several speakers prominent either in the organization or
the enforcement of the liquor laws.
'The meeting was a joint gathering
of liquor dealers in Placer, Nevada
and El Dorado counties.
Among the speakers were Richard
Collins, member of the State Board
of Equalization, R. W. Martland,
secretary of the C. F. I., Jake Bettincourt, president of the organizaition, Chester Smith, Senator A. P.
Pierovich of Amador, Russell Farley, county enforcement officer, and
others. Ted Janiss, county chairman
of the organnization, presided.
Martland stressed the importance
of furthering legislation to, the advantage of the liquor business and of
killing off legislation that might injure the dealers engaged in the
business. He stated that local units
of the association were expected ‘to
turn on the heat’ on the legislators
in their own community whenever.
this seemed desirable. He declared
that dealing in liquor, was a privilege and not a right.
Sheriff Carl Tobiassen, called on
for a féw words stated that the state
law made him, jointly responsible
with the Board of Equalization supervisor, Russell Farley, for enforcement of liquor enforcement and thus
far there had been very little trouble
in this county. He said, however,
that when he has visited some places
where liquor was sold, he found tthe
proprietors very resentful. He declared that was the wrong attitude and
was glad to note that it was disappearing.
DRUNK DRIVING
OFTEN EXPENSIVE
“John Barleycorn’ is a dangerous passenger.
This was the theme of a statement today by the public safety department of the California State Automobile Association discussing the
risks that a motorist is exposed to”
if he drives when he has been drinking. =
“We all know that driving while’!
intoxicated is dangerous to other mo-}
torists and to pedestrians,’ the
statement said. ‘‘But what the intoxicaied driver ually fails. to
realize is that it is dangerous for;
him, too; not only the physical danger, but because it may cost him as
much as $5000 or five years in prison, or both fine and imprisonment.
“Drunk driving may be only a misdemeanor, punishable by a $50 to
$500 fine or one to six months in
jail. But if,by direct action or neglect a driver injures’ anyone while
he, the driver, is under the influence
of liquor, then drunk driving becomes a felony punishable by a $200
to $5000 fine or one to five years in
prisan, or both fine and imprisonment, and revocation of the driver’s
license for a year or more,
“You'd say it was good business
to invest in a $3 taxicab bill to save
anywhere from $50 to $500 in fines,
or the stigma of prison, or, more important than all, to keep one’s. conscience free of the burden of having
maimed or killed a fellow béing.
“By resolutely refraining from
driving if he has been drinking the
motorist not only protects his money
and his liberty but he also shows regard for ‘the welfare of others.”’
