The lime Has Come

There three chief reasons for buying the things
that would be Of comfort and service to yos
i. Because the fine new goods are ready. and YOU
want them.
2. Because everything is much lower In price than
it has been for long time. and yet moat thlngs
are better made than Trey were during the rush
days OF big wages and poor work.
.. TIE BIGGEST OF ALL REASONS: The
Prosperity of the whole Nation depends upon
everybody buying what he OF she needs; so that
workers in ali industries may have full employ
ment again.

RIVER FORGED
 PATH THROUGH
 LIVING GRANITE

Yosemite, Cal, Oct. 2S-Out of the living granite of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Merced river, hun dreds of thousands of years ago first cut the Yosemite Valley, California's s greatest outdoor playground, Dr. F. D. Matthes of the United States Geolog1- cal Survey, declared here after re- turning from a recent three months exploration trip through the widest portions of the high Sierras.
 After the river made the first cut, a great glacier came along and gave the valley it's finishing touches. The great V-shaped gorge, and the glacier added a few curves and converted Yosemite into the U-shape it has at present.
 Dr. Matthes' beliefs form another contribution to the many theories re- garding the origin of Yosemite. He has held this theory for some time and declared findings on his trip con firmed 1t.
 Accepted theories as to the forma- ton of the Sierra Nevada mountains were strengthened by pr. Matthes' ob- servations on his trip. The theory is, he said, that a series of terrific up- thrusts tilted the immense block of the mountain range. Mount LyeIl, the highest peak in the Yosemite National Park was lifted to its present height Of more than 13,0 900 feet from a com paratively low elevation of 5000 feet it is thought.
 pr. Matthes, on his trip, went into the southern Sierra Nevadas and cov- cred practically the entire eastern watershed of the San Joaquin river.

There is still close to million dollars due the city on taxes which in some cases date back three and four years.
 Assistant City Attorney J. Parker Seely has been handling the drive in cooperation with tax collector How ard Smith. The former has had a great many writs served, bu-. as yet has nor taken any foreclosure pro- ceedings although he says he will go the legal limit with those who can pay but have not. In many cases where it has been found that firms really are unable to pay all that they owe arrangem ents have been made whereby they can pay in instaIlments.

Fairfield

Although the school situation has been somewhat relieved In Falrneto by the opening of the new Grassmere school there is still room for great improvement along this line. It has been rumored that at the next town meeting an appropriation will De asked to build an addition to the Stratfield school. This district has more room Is needed. Parents of the children in that section already have started a petition to ask for the necessary money to add several rooms to the school It is hoped by many of the local people that the town officials will soon make plans for the building of a new High school for which there is a pressing need. The old building which Is situated on Unquowa Hill Road is not only small but totally inadequate for the needs of the pupils now attending, as two sessions are now necessary to care for them. There has been sev- eral sites proposed in the past but as yet no action has been taken.
