PAGE THREE Ye Snooper’s Column Things About Nyssa's Shops %! Comes war agaiu. That grim spectre the dread and fear of which wilt stalk with us day and night. And In the heart of this nation is the prayer that we may be spared from the maelstrom wherein the greed and duplicity of European politicians have plunged their peo ples. Men and women who, even as you and I, had no part nor parcel in it. Men and women, who for all their years to come, wilt bear the cost burden of it in taxes and some whose sons already have been led to the slaughter, among whom even now are those who will not return to them alive. Some whose fine young bodies are already maimed beyond further usefulness on this plane. And there is nothing that these simple, kindly folk can do to stop it. Blindly and bleeding .they are pushed into the stream that some fancied political wrong may be appeased or political groups greedy ambitions be realized. And today we are wondering how many of the first sons of these same poli ticians might be found in the front ranks, may be found perchance strung upon the wires, or wounded and alone in some stinking shell hole. Or are they as most of them were in the last war in comfortably upholstered chairs in some home office bossing a few file clerks about who know more than the boss about the affairs of the state. If these men who make the wars are so in earnest about the good of the governed, then let them send their sons to those first front lines along with the rest. Or are all wars for the poor to fight and the powerful to profit therefrom? And let us not forget this if that time shall come when the powers that be of this our land decide that to preserve our honor and integ rity another generation of mothers sons must be sacrificed on foreign soil. And we have wondered what these makers of wars would do if every woman refused to raise gun- fodder for them for just one gen eration. School time its certainly sweater time for the school miss and the little sister and hast seen that beauteous stock that they have just received at the Atkeson estab lishment on Main and Third, as soft and light of weight as a silken blouse, yet warm as a ducklings down filled nest when winter breezes whiz about. And in all styles and colors. A beauty we didst spy out in that soft becoming tint that is neither red nor purple but something betwixt and between a Professional Cards DR. J. C.

Church fuschia and a wine red. And twould blend beautifully with any color combination. It will be a smart miss who treats herself to a few of these for school days. And neither are the Gamble stores to be left out of this school preparation time for they do have so many things that the boys and girls will use and at fine saving prices and now there ist that tire sale going on there that the family coach may be made safe for winter driving. For goodness only knows that with the roads the way they are when the rains descend and the mud lies hub deep twill be a job for the best of jaloppies to pull through without the hinderence of fabric exposed tires. Tis sense to add safety to the winters driving by tiring all around while the Gamble tires are so cheap. For fear net war profiteering or no, if this war last but a few months all such commodities wilt go up and 'twill take something more than a F.H.A. loan to keep the family budget perking on all four, or even two. But tis foolishness too to be fear ful that the foods we use wilt as cend that price scale to such a peak that we cannot have the necessities of life for lack of increased price. For we who do dwell in this inland place of abundance and natural protection will at least eat and no doubt in peace and so long as the man Barney Wilson doest cater to our culinary needs we shall have food and at a fair price. And now that the fall fruits are in the counters there are laden down with the produce of the land, melons and berries, peaches and grapes, white, pink and blue, and all sun-ripened and full flavored. And soon the winds of winter wilt whistle about the house corners bringing the shivers along with them so that all minds wilt turn to fires to warm the quaking bones. Tis then that there should be an added care for insurance and extra attention given to flues and chim neys. For it is apt to be a faulty or clogged flue that causes these early autumn blazes. And there are many ways that the householder himself canst clean them and make sure that there are no unseen cracks and crevices to start the spark without paying hard earned shekels for the protection. Then there are reliable insurance brokers here who have long since proved that insurance does pay. The Nyssa Realty and the Frank Morgan o f fices each on Main have been tried and found true and reliable. Surely the chill of autumn does tinge the early morning breezes so that a wrap of a sort doest give a pleasant warmth to the chills chas ing up and down the vertebrae. And at the Golden Rule store they do have a fine stock of warmer gar ments just made for these first cool days. Woolen frocks, jacket suits and new fine yardage in wool and in the newest of fabrics and color tones, at a price that wilt bring a warm glow of appreciation to those mothers with many little bodies to cover warmly in the season ahead but with shekels that are ever on the dwindle. And we didst wonder this past week what had happened to the hordes of the sub genus Macroto lagus that so be-pestered the farm ers this summer and didst provide such grand exercise for the family pooches and a fair shot for the fam ily's permanent disciple of Isaac Walton. For gone they are but me- thinks not with wind. But rather hast the generous portions of strychnined alfalfa put out by their farmer hosts done off with them. But whatever the cause where a few weeks ago the beasties were thicker along a country road than fleas up on a California dog's back they are now as scarce as the proverbial hens tooth. And we didst wonder if they had been skinned and the pelts sold to the furrier if it would not have gone a long way to pay ing off that bugaboo debt on the old homestead. Rabbit fur tis ac knowledged ist the basis for much of all that is tops in furs, even to kolinsky and ermine. And now that the war ist with us no doubt the coverings of these desert kan garoos wilt grace many a garment of the best dressed in the land. And speaking of pests, the beav er. that much touted friend of man canst just about drive one to break the law or take it into their own hand or worse when these pro lific and assiduous wood cutters cast their approving eye over the trees along the river bank of ones homestead. Neither the tender youth of the tree nor its hoary old age matters to them. All go down before their sharp teeth. And they can cause as much irreparable damage to a grove or a nearby orchard in twen ty-four hours as a fire or seventy mile gale. And little disturbs them. But from our good friend Clyde Long, the government trapper, we didst learn a trick that will stay them for a while. For one scent they are afraid of is that of man. So in case of emergency if one wilt wipe their damp hands along the trunks of the trees where Mr. Beaver hast started and canst find an obliging barefoot youngster to tramp through the grass where the run hast been made to the water, then Mr. Beaver will lay off for a while at least and move on to safer fields Of course the thing to do 1st to try and get the beasties trapped and removed to fields where they are appreciated by the game commission. But they must be live trapped and by specified persons. Else the law ist broken and one is liable to heavy fine.
