EDITORIAL What some fellows will do to get into the headlines. A student at F. & M. ate six live gold fish and did he get pub- licity. ; After six years of recovery it seems pretty hard to under- stand unemployment figures remaining at record peaks, and relief expenditures at all-time highs. The people of America can have their choice of socialism or democratic private enterprise—under the American sys- tem of free choice. But they can’t have both at the same time. From the testimony in a Philadelphia murder trial it has developed that about seventy people were poisoned for the insurance money. All the bodies are to be exhumed for fur- ther evidence. The annual report of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, shows that in the last years commercial banks, in- surance companies, savings banks and other polls of capital which formerly directed their funds mainly into private in- THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO.

Too much politics has stopped normal develop- ment in its tracks. Steady jobs come from industry and! not politicians. Steady Jobs Come From Industry The winner of the $50,000 first prize in a recent movie quiz contest, says her first act will be to buy a new home. “This may be her first act, but let's hope she doesn’t spend it all, for next she will give a large share of it to the tax collector. Broke At Sixty-Five The majority of men who have money at 35 are stone broke at 65. Business failures, bad investments, illness and other unexpected cataclysms tell the tragic story. The majority of these men could have enjoyed finan- cially independent old ages, instead of having to depend on charity or the bounty of relatives—had they put aside money at the time when earning power was at its height, in some plan. Only charity! can help the indigent old whose savings have disappeared. We can witness these pitiful examples— and guide our own course accordingly. Education Down On The Farm The farmer of the future will be far better prepared to grapple with the problems he must face than his prede- cessors. Fe ah HA The reason for that is education. Farm organizations, no- tably the agricultural marketing cooperatives, have given great attention to farm youth. Young men and women who look forward to careers in agriculture are given specialized training not only in land utilization and the raising of crops and livestock, but in those economic matters that so vitally affect farm income. When the time comes for them to take over, they'll be ready. The Rails Make Records The speed of passenger trains has been developed in the United States to a far greater degree than in any other country. That announcement doesn’t come from spokesmen for our American roads—but from the English trade jour- nal. the Railway Gazette. The review discloses that the American railroads operate 18.247 miles of daily runs scheduled at 60 miles or more per hour. This is more than half of the entire world’s mile-a- minute mileage and is an increase of almost 11,000 miles over 1937. And in 1932, seven short years ago, American mile-a-minute runs totaled only 2,022 miles. vo More Lawless Laws In a hurried effort to “pass things” a few years ago, many, many new laws were passed but about the half of them were mostly “crap” as is proven by decisions of the supreme courts. At Pittsburgh last week the Supreme Court ruled uncon- stitutional four sections of the Workmen's Compensation Act. Ta LS At Washington Monday the Supreme Court ruled that salaries of all State and local Government officials was sub- ject to Federal Income Tax. In this same decision the Court also announced that local taxing authorities might levy upon the salaries of Federal officials and employees. When Taxes Exceed Profits Taxes amount to more than net profits in many American business enterprises. A striking example of this is dis- closed in a statement recently released by the National As- sociation of Food Stores. These stores make their profits in pennies but have lo pay their taxes in dollars. Last year, taxes paid by the member Mr. Ed Ream will convert the stables on Marietta street into a garage. Engineers are at work laying out a new line to lead into Marietta and | remove the tunnel under Chicquies ! Rock, which will permit two more tracks along the river from Colum- bia to Marietta.

That is why the electric water system is usually the first electrical im- provement, with the exception of electric lights, that the farmer in- stalls when electric service becomes Harris E. Electric Main St. available, according to Dexter, Chairman of the Water Systems Council. Murray Wigsten, an up-to-the- minute farmer near Poughkeepsie, N. Y. presents convincing proof of these statements. ‘Running water means more money to the farmer, more milk per cow, more eggs per | hen, more apples per tree, more beef per steer, more straw-berries and raspberries, more vegetables from the garden. “On my farm, which is not large, we keep 20 cows and 400 to 500 hens. We grow crops to feed them and some sell. With modern one man does all the g to our equipment, work, “But suppose we take away the water system—what then- It would take five hours, every day includ- ing Sundays—35 hours a week—just to pump and carry the water. That is a whole week's work to some minds. But suppose it is only half a week's work. These farm men cost, with privileges, about twenty dol- lars a week. That would be ten dollars a week to pump and carry water! Forty dollars a month! For- ty dollars a month would buy the complete electrical equipment for any farm! “That isn’t all. My cows give 15 per cent more milk because they have water in the barn, and the hens lay more eggs with water al- ways before them. I don’t know so much about hogs and beef, but common sense tells me plenty of water will add plenty of pounds to them also. “As a farmer I would like to sug- gest that more than water comes in- to a farmer’s system when he takes that first cool drink from his new electric water system. He gets an inspiration to modernize and elec- trify that no other appliance he ever {buys will bring him. It pays him big profits, and it makes the step look easy to him”, Mr. Wigsten con- cludes.

Seif contended the inspection fees would maintain the made at stations. | eel Ieee Many other businesses are in the same position as these BOWL AT NEWVILLE + The Mount Joy Travelers | booked to play at Newville Satur- ay evening.
