Money Is Wasted
On Certain Signs
MANY LOCAL BUSINESS MEN
PAY $25.00 EACH FOR A SIGN
THAT IS ACTUALLY
WORTHLESS
Some time ago a real slick talker
came to Mt. Joy and induced a
number of local business men to
place their advertisement on a 2-ft.
sign which he erected just east of
the bridge near Chickies creek. If
any of those patrons get a dime’s
worth of business they're lucky.
In the first place, how many mo-
torists can read a word on that
small sign while passing, especially
on a concrete highway and at the
rate of speed most of them drive?
How can it benefit any of them,
On the other hand that same
$25.00 would pay for a good sized
advertisement in the Bulletin every

week for one year. Then again

5,000 BUSHELS OF COUNTY
WHEAT SOLD LAST WEEK

It is estimated that 5000 bushels
of Lancaster county wheat was de-
livered to millers and exports last
week, despite the inclement weath-
er. The average price paid was
$1.30 per bushel, which farmers
claim is considerably less than a
fair price, while millers and ex-
porters claim it is higher than
warranted.

vited to attend.

killing of bucks was made at the,
. |
time no announcement was made
regarding the number limit for |
hunting parties. Any antlerless'
deer weighing more thon 50 pounds
may be shot from December 1 tol
15,
Party limits for bear remain at
four and elk one. In each case as
in that of deer a hunter is not per-
mitted to shoot more than one,
First year bear and elk except
those having at least four points to
each antler are protected.
Because of the drastic changes
in the regulations governoring the
shooting of small game the Board
intends to make every effort to ac-
quaint each individual hunter with
the various schedules which will be
permitted. Each applicant for a
hunter’s license will be given a copy
of the new code and an educational
campaign carried on through organ-
izations of sportsmen.
Seasons for all small game have
been lengthened but killing will be
permitted on Thursday Friday end
Saturday of each week.
The entire state will be closed to
the shooting of blackbirds, Hungar-
ian partridges and reed birds. West-
moreland, Fayette and Somerset
counties have been closed to the
shooting of wild turkeys until 1931.
