THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL politicians and the favored few will reap the rich reward. It is useless and foolish to rant against it, it has has been so since Cain killed Abel I and will be so till at last the race learns to live each day by the Gold en Rule, singly and collectively. But in reading this writers sug gestion that women cease to bear j sons to be turned tc gun fodder ere they scarce have learned to shave, j we were reminded of a story we read several years ago. The race of Man in this tale had displeased God. mightily, and He having become weary of his offspringss ofienses Tilings About Nyssa's Shops decided to remove all life from this planet.

One of the best teeth and bone builder uppers and keeper-up pers is milk. Whole fresh milk, pro duced under the modern sanitary methods and distribution under state inspected dairies. But Nyssites need not worry about this for there are two of the finest whose record at the State department of health is outstanding for purity and low bacterial count. They are the Shal- ton and the Gate City dairies. And each make deliveries morning and evening. Meat too must be proparly killed and sanitarily cared for if It is to give to us what it should in nutri tion value. And at the Nyssa Pack ing that is what they have, meat properly butchered and properly stored. And speaking of nutritional and health giving value it is pur ported to be better to get a piece of meat that requires long chewing so that the teeth and jaws get proper exercise. But tis a tender juicy steak that they do dispense at the Nyssa Packing Company mart. And at Jake Fischers Slaughter house where they do custom butch ering under the latest and most ap proved standards one gets fine ser vice and high standard products. It is refrigeration which more than all else has made it possible for families to enjoy fresh foods without fear of so called summe diseases. Refrigeration that keep:; perishables at an even low temper ature away from contamination cf flies and insects. The new electric ret i igerators are a far cry too in advance of the old fashioned ice box and among the best of these is that new Kelvinator that the Nyssa Implement does traffic in. Now comes the time for irriga ting, long days when the life giving waters will run through the thous ands of little ditches over the land where in the fall rich harvests will be taken to feed man and his beasts But there is a right way to let this water run and a wrong way. The latter will let the land wash and waste the water where the right way keeps the water where it should be at all times and the land is preser ved for other years. One of the things that the wise irrigator looks to. is his dams and cut outs. And in this he uses dair canvas and the best is none to good for the thrifty land holder. But the very b^st of dam canvas can be purchased here in Nyssa at the Golden Rule, that make it right store, in various grad s and at various prices to fit the in dividual need and the individual purse. With summer comes vacation time and week end and Sunday trips to the mountains and way places for picnics. Tis then that the old Jalopy must be in first class order, to take any trail ahead on all four and re turn without mishap. And this it will do if it is taken in to Pryun's gar age for an overhaul and pepper-up- Der treatment. For those mechanics there can restore life to a motor which have been given up as extinct specie and will prolong the life of a new one. He is just a bit of a black pup, in to everything and more bother than good, but he has wormed his way into the hearts of those who own him till they would not take twice the price they paid to possess him.

To his mistress’ dismay he managed to pull the paper down to his level and there upon gobled the whole of it in a couple of gulps. She was sure he would die of canine ptemain but we advised her that if his stomach did not like It, up It would come. But instead of dire death or even gastric discomfort and disturbances the pooch became live lier and friskier than ever. The imp And the mistress yet cannot see how he lived through it.

But so do they at that store carry every thing fancy and staple for food for the human being as well as his canine and feline pets. A neat array of toilet and laundry soaps and cleaners is stocked there as well. Soaps that were once considered lux uries are now priced so that every one may enjoy them. Skin fresh ening and toning up soap6 that doc tors recommend. With a real warmth to the at mosphere these last few days one is reminded that soon the time for air cooling and conditioning will be at hand if a body is to dwell in any kind of comfort. At the Nyssa theatre where they are always thnking of what ill please thei- customers, an air cooling system has long been in stalled and at the first suggestion of a warmish atmosphere the fans will start moving and one will see their favorite pictures and the fine shows displayed there in comfort an quiet. What with the old jalopie in good perking order and one of those new permanents that the Ruth Beauty nook is giving these days in milady’s hirsute appendage, she will be in fit shape for a month's vacation or a ’ ay’s jaunt without any advance notice. If it is a lunch or grub for a month or the replenishing of the household pantry shelves then a trip to Mc Connell's market at Main, east of the Y. will stand one in good stead, for it is fine groceries and fine fruit, and vegetables that the purchaser gets at that fine grocery store.
