V FALLS CITY NEWS VOIi. XIII KALI.S CITY OREGON. SATURDAY. DECEMBER SO. 1910 Community Christmas Tree Draws Crowd Excellent Program Rendered. School Children, Christian Church and Others Assist in Making the Entertainment a Success **• LARGEST CROWD EVER ASSEMBLED IN FALLS CITY It It Es llm ittd That There Wart Mora Than 70 0 Peeple tn A H tn d tn o t. Young and Old Nava a Oood Tima Did you attend the Community Christmas tree? I f you did not you missed a treat. ’ ’ Peace on Kurth, Good Will Toward Men,” was written in unmistakable language upon the fa c t« o f those present. Saint and sinner felt that it was a‘ ‘community tree” in Spirit ana in truth. The Baptist, the Catholic, the Methodist, the Christian the Adventist, and oVen the "blundering" editor o f the Nows, could all join in saying: " I t ’ is "our Christmas tree.” The program rendered by the school was exceptionally good. It required much time, itatience and l>ereevcrence to train the young sters to give such u credible |>er- formance. The Christian Church members had planned to have a tree at their church, but joined movement for a community tree as did many o f the members o f other churches. All acquitted CAN MAKE WINE FOR OWN USES themselves in a very satisfactory manner. The coming of Santa Clause was heralded with delight and the distribution of the presents wus no small job. Soon the hum of voices from all parts of the hall rendered it difficult to hear the names called and it is likely that some were missed in that way. The crowd was greater than the committvuJuRwwaUai and the presents run short at the last. It is estimated that more than 700 assembled, quite conclusive evi dence that a majority were in happy accord with the movement. Reports gleaned from different parts o f the country indicates that the "community” spirit has been manifested this year to a greater degree than usual. The idea to create a community interest and good feeling in matters o f common interest is too often neglected to the detriment o f the town. the trial, the statements that the ' wine was manufactured for per sonal use.

A P P E A L W ILL B E T A K EN H Dooision Stands, Prohibition Law and Bono Dry Amendment Foil. Limitation o f the amount o f liquor a man may import is an interference with his constitu tional right "t o go to hell cross lo ts," and therefore illegal, Cir cuit Judge McGinn ruled this morning. He also upheld the right o f a man to manufacture wine for his own use, without interference from the authorities. The questions arose in the suit o f Mario G. Montrezza. attorney for A. J/ma, for an injunction restraining the district attorney, the sheriff and the police from invading Lim a’s home in search o f wine he and his fam ily mède from grapes. For the purpose o f a demurrer, Deputy District Attorney Murphy, for the state, admitted Lima made the wine for his owt » use and that the state intended to search his home. Judge McGinn refused t 9 grant 1 „¿he injunction, but he overruled demurrer. The injunction not granted because Murphy for the state Lima ; be interfered with until could be heard on its Murphy will contest, on In some trades wages have ad vanced more than the coat o f liv ing, which is placed at 16 per cent. It is doubtful, however, if the average income of all workers has risen more than ten per cent, and therefore the condition of the wage earners is not as good as it was at the loginning o f 1916. In a statement made after he returned his decision, Judge Mc Ginn explained that it meant simply this: ‘ T h e state has no right to in terfere with a man’s importation or manufacture o f liquor for his own consumption." "B u t,” he added, " it must be understood that it must be con clusively shown the liquor is for liis own consumption." The state probably will appeal from the decision. I f it were sustained, the bone dry amend ment and the present prohibition law, insofar as it limits the monthly importations o f liquor, would be knocked out." We didn’t think LIoyd-George would accept the peace proposal. The Welshman is a game fighter, and he prefers to fight to a finish. In brief the position is as follows: Germany has won the war militar ily up to now, England believes further fighting will favor her side, therefore is unwilling to forego the effort.
