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. All our complex reactions to enviranment in mature years, we are told by psychoanalyists are due to things that happéned when we were children, something that bent the twig the way the tree inclines.

Approximately fifteen board feet of pine timber will be salvaged from the area that was fire killed near Foresthill last October according to DeWitt Nelson, forest supervisor of the Tahoe National Forest at Nevada City. Nelson expects that the Setzer Box Company of Sacramento will have salvaged approximately ‘twelve million (board feet by the time they will have to’ close down operations this year and it is hoped that they v'!l he able to begin operations next spring in order to salvage 'the balance hefore the blue stain appears that will destroy the fire killed timber’s usefulness for and the miners in their successful efforts to forget all the prejudices . that existed in ‘the old days, Bichler . introduced City Councilman Leo J.‘ Smith, who gave an address of wel-. come. Smith, speaking for the busi. ness men of Marysville, acknowledged the fact that the revived hydrau. lic industry will benefit the valley . people as well as.the miners of the . mountains. Lou Bichler then presented a, mock wedding in which Mr. John. Hydraulic Miner and Miss Yuba City were ‘successfully united in marriage, symbolizing that henceforth the mining industry and the agricultural units will live. in harmony. The principals in this ceremony were Mrs. Ruth Sparrow Sitton as the bride and W. B. Clerkin of North San Juan was the bridegroom. Earl K. Lane was best man and the bride was given away by Mayor Ed. E. Benham of Yuba City. Charles P. Martin was preacher and Ray Phillips musician. The bride, representing a prosperous agricultural woman was dressed in a lovely afternoon ensemble and carried a huge bouquet of flowers. The bridegroom wore _hip-boots, slicker annd miner’s hat The wedding ring was a silver bell. That this. me@tting \was important in the annals of northern California was em'phasized by the powerful and brilliant speeches made ‘by BIRTHDAYS! ey, Send a Greeting to Your Friends. October 28 MRS.

Alf Landon voiced this discontent in a great many words recently over the radio. We have established a government of laws, not of men or a A MAN. We now resent having an argument closed by the equivalent of: “Papa commercial purposes. Experienced lumbermen have stated to Nelson that the sugar pine coming out of this area is of the highest quality they have ever seen. Nelson says that ithere is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in the manufacture of pencil stock to salvage the eight million board feet of cedar that . was fire killed on this same area. He . does not expect that it will be affected by blue stain as is the pine.

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.”’ BANNER MT.

McCloud, two bright youngsters. one eleven and the other twelve years old, just disappeared. They live on the Red Dog road near the cemetery and they left home nine o’clock Saturday morning and they were only found’ and returned home this morning, after a d ligent search by Officer Charlie Ninnis, Deputy Sheriffs Larsen and Woods, and four volunteer high school boys who scouted the woods along Deer Creek. Jimmie: was the first to be caught. Ninnis spotted him this morning in some brush along.the creek and the: boy leaped and ran like a wild goat over the boulders and away. Ninnis didhis level best to put up a sprint equal to the runaway lad, but it was no use. Providence intervened however. Jimmie started with a hop, skip and jump across Deer Creek, slipped . and fell ker-plunk into a pool and' Ninnis nabbed him before he could get going again.

Officer Ninnis — looked high and low and could not find him, until a kindly neighbor gave him the tip that she had seen two boys playing back on an old barn on top of the Boulder street hill yesterday. So Ninnis thought He would take a peek in that barn, an@ he barely opened the door when a ‘shrill voice called from a hiding place somewhere in the rear: “Look out, Charlie, that. cow will hook!” But Ninnis was not afraid of cows. He got the youngster by the hand and led him home, where his mother held out her hand to him and he troptted up and took it with never a word. Both boys profess to have had nothing “to eat since Saturday, but Ninnis, knowing boys and the number of peach and apple trees along back yards in Deer Creek hardly bebelieves that.
