RECORD HOME BREW
PRODUCTION SEEN
Output In Penna. To Triple That
OF Last Year, Is Prediction
DEMAND FOR BERRIES TO
MAKE WINES IN HOUSEHOLDS
BOOSTS PRICES


There is every Indication that
home brewers will smash all records
in quantity production this year,
according to a statement issued
yesterday by the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment.
The production in Pennsylvania
alone will triple that of last year
and the same ratio of increase
promises to be recorded in nearly
all States,including Maine and Kan
sas. which We're pioneers in the pro-
hibition movement
1.-THE amount of homemade wine
manufactured last year." reads the
report of the association, "has been
variously estimated from 50,000,000
gallons to 200,000,O00 gallons. OF
course il would be virtually int
possible for anybody to get the
exact figures because fear of prying
prohibition agents has clothed home
wine making in more or less secrecy
All conditions point to greatly in
creased production this year. An un-
precedented berry crop in most
States has given impetus to
home wine making. Thousands of
tons of berries, which in pre-Vol-
stead days were converted into taste
full jams and preserves are now be-
ing utilized for wine with kick
"Canneries are complaining be-
cause such large quantities of ber-
ries are being turned over to the
home wine makers. Blackberry and
raspberry wine have resumed their
popularity of Colonial days. Elder
berries are now at premium be-
cause of the hordes of prospective
wine makers that have invaded fields
and swamps in search of this pop
ular basis for a palatable home
wine. Manufacturers of wine casks
are working night and day to meet
the demand for their product.

"The Cooperative Grape Growers

thousand tons.

to the w. G. T. u. as 10 the work
ings of prohibition in Utah, said:
MY observation is that it has sue

housewife a manufacturer of wine,
whisky or beer. The real test of pro

government enters the home in an
effort to stop this. However, | doubt

Rawlins Will Have
Several Additional
Single Post Lights

Jack Martinez of the Martinez
Electric that the orders
have been placed with his company
for the erection of several additional
single post street lights. At the pres
ent time the holes are being drilled
and as soon as they are drilled the
cable will be laid and the light posts
erected.
There will be two lights erected
by the Cottage House, one in front
Of DR.. BARRIERS office, one in front
of A. ]. Rosters residence and one
in front of ANS Tire and Battery
shop. 1t is probable that several
other lights will be erected on Fifth
street between Buffalo and Pine
streets.
Several other persons in Rawlins
have signified their desire for these
lights but until more places have
the lights installed it will be i'm
possible to run the cable very far
into the residence district.
The lights in the down town dis
trict of Rawlins have greatly i'm
proved the looks of the city, thus it
is hoped that a number OF places Of
business will have the lights INSTALL

CONTRACT TOTALS OF
BUILDING PROJECTS
SMALLER THAN 1924

An examination made by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards of total number of contracts
let for residential building projects
for 1925 reveals that while the num-
Der of projects is greater than that
of 1872 the total number of buildings
which they represent and the num-
Der Of square feet of construction
called for is decidedly less.
The statistics used were reports
gathered by the F. w. Dodge corpor-
alton. They show hat the average
for projects planned to be erected
in 1925 is 81 square feet less than
the average for projects in 1924.
The indication here shown toward
the building of single-family dwell
ings and dupleXes parallels that
found by the Associations surveys of
real estate market conditions. 1t
probably also indicates a lowering
of activity in the erection of large
apartment buildings.

Average


How much value these figures
have and just what conclusions can
be based upon them cannot be eX-
actly known without a clear know
ledge of how the figures we're ar
rived at, as the New York u points
out. Reducing all wages to gold
wages would have eliminated differ
ences due to currency depreciation,
but to attempt to portray real
wages" or wages in terms of pur-
chasing power, is n much more diff
ficult thing, for the gold level of
prices is by no means the same in
different countries.
Apparently these real wage COM
parsons are based on retail prices
of food in the various cities report
ed. Food. however, is only II item
constitutes, except in cases on the
poverty line, a minor part of the
total. To compare say dwelling
rents in different cities with any ac-
curacy would be a highly difficult
task. If only because of the different
quality of the dwellings offered.
Even with these cautions kept In
mind. however. the figures are still
highly significant. In terms of food
purchasing power the American
workman not only receives twice as
much as the British workman. but
practically four times as u as
the workman in the capitals of most
Continental countries.
