CAN MAKE WINE Families who enjoy a glass of home-made wine occasionally can draw a sigh 6f relief as the first court decision has been made on Sections 29 and 18 of the Volstead Act. The Government bout a large vineyard at Pen Yan, N. Y., which sold concentrated grapes with instructions for making wine in the home. The U. S. Dis- trict court has ruled that wine mak- ing in the home is legal. This will be quite a relief to the many “home wine makers,” who are just a bit “leary” about making wine simply for their own consump- tion. complained a- VALUE ASSET Upon the confidence which the people of this community have in jts present and its future, depends the growth and the prosperity of each one of us. Confidence worthy developments which tend toward making his community a better place in which to live. Confidence in the ability of the local business men to supply our needs with reliable merchandise at reasonable prices is likewise a most important factor in the: prosperity of the community. Since it is of such vital import to all of us to keep our confidence in our neigh- bors and their confidence in us let s each do every possible thing to prrant confidence. It will help o build our home community a busy, prospering town—a town of which we will all be RE A SANTA CLAUS? rather too bad that ica becomes sophisti- ely an age now, that n this pretty old TC aus myth at a time when normal children should have more imagination. It is a pleasing sentiment that leads the sober old adults to work off this gentle fraud on the child- ren. Literal minded parents may prefer to offer the gifts themselves and have the children realize from the start just where they come from, and they may argue that the children ought to realize all the good things they get from their parents. But there is a fascination in the look of wonder with which the lit- tle child’s eyes open when he is first told the Santa Claus story. It does him no harm, and perhaps makes him feel that the world is full of kindly souls that are work- ing all the time to make people happy. THE COMING SESSION The Legislature for 1929 will soon meet and we feel certain that every voter will be interested in at least some of the bills which will be presented. Elsewhere in the Bulletin is a partial list of the bills that will be placed before that body. Among them is a bill on stream pollution. This is a measure that the State Board of Health has been opposing for some time. No individual or corporation should be allowed to pollute any waters of the Common- wealth. : \ The bill, if passed, would give the {state commission power to close any ‘manufacturing plant in 24 hours af- fer it had received notice to stop pollution. With such a bill on record, a local manufacturing plant would soon be closed if it persistently dumped its dye water and sewage into springs and creeks here. : Jt is more than likely that this bill will be given every considera- tion and passed, but we'll bet our last s straw hat against a i that it will not be support- ed by Mount Joy's member of the Legislature and a half ago our upon this continent on, conceived in liberty d to the proposition equal in leads on to all Wittle, at Rheems, The following program was ren- dered in the Rheems school at the Spelling Bee and Christmas Enter- tainment.

A nation of freemen thus con- ceived and dedicated has endured over a hundred and fifty years, and developed a high degree of prosper- ity by citizens industrious in peace and valorous in war. They gave their lives that we might enjoy the blessings of free- dom with fair and equitable laws, enacted under a constitution where the chance to improve conditions might always remain open for the poorest child to become the heir of the greatest fortune. This sacred heritage of wise statesmanship has endured the test of time and will continue to stand superior to all vicious delusions. promises and inventions of paterna- lism and the wildest dreams of Russian bolshevik or soviet, where everything is owned by everybody nothing is owned by anybody. Our Country shall continue to be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and shall not perish from the earth. CHOOSE SECURITIES CAREFULLY Millions of Americans are today buying securities in our business and industrial organizations. The prosperity brought on by our mod- ern industrial era given the aver- age citizen a confidence in stocks and bonds as a way to invest his money. In spite of our increased facilit- ies for sound financial guidance and the many protections open to the investor, many millions of dol- lars are lost yearly thru the pur- chase of fraudulent or “wildcat” stocks, or through investments made in honest enough ventures, which have little or no chance for success. Major stock and bond exchanges, such as those at New York, inves- tigate securities before listing them for trading, thus assuring the purchaser so far as humanly pos- sible, value received. Such securi- ties stand a good chance of paying dividends and appreciating in value with little danger of going bank- rupt, and are referred to as “listed securities.” The investor should take care in selecting the brokerage house thru which he purchases his securities. Houses which are members of one or more of the major exchanges subject to audit at frequent inter- vals to determine their soundness. It is only common sense to choose securities which experts have passed on and to purchase them from brokers whose financial positions are scrutinized by audit and investigation. For every dollar made in a “wildcat’’ venture thous- ands of dollars are lost. The intel- licent iinvestor takes no unneces- sary risks, 3 SPORTING HILL | | Mr. and Mrs. Allen Hoffer spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs, Allen Hoffer, Jr., near Old Line.
