despite German bravado proclama
ton. began to take a definite swing
upward for Russia and Great Bri-
tain. Although the Germans con
tinued pounding away at the Red
Army on the eastern front, Lenin-

mand predicted two weeks ago

claims that communication lines be
tween Moscow and Leningrad had
been cut
Russia announced she had blown
up the 100000 Dnieper River
dam near Dnieperopetroysk in what
was apparently an effort to flood
thousands of square miles of the
Dnieper valley running to the Black
Sea to add further obstacles to the
Nazi hordes
In Iran, or ancient Persia, the Iran
government ordered its soldiers to
lay down their arms and capitulated
to the British.

Gle Sam was the personal delivery
of note to President Roosevelt by
Japanese Ambassador Admiral Xiii
saburo Nomura from Prime Minister
Konoye. Although Nomura was be-
sieged by a barrage of questions
from reporters on his return from
the White House, he refused to ell
aborate on the notes contents. OBJ
servers believed, however, that it.

peace in the Pacific.
Nomura conferred at, the White

be forthcoming within a few days
as to the present status of the ten

for any alcoholic beverages, tobacco
in any form or for foods normally
consumed on the store premises.
The Blue Surplus Food Stamps
are also worth rs cents each in trade
in these stores but are good only
for foods currently designated as
being in surplus" by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and SO listed in food stores in the
areas where the plan is operating.
The requirement that Orange
Food Order Stamps must be pur-
chased in an amount equal to form
err food purchases protects the farm
ers by insuring that foods obtained
free are in addition to, and not in
place of, food formerly purchased
by eligibles.
Eligible participants will be adj
vised prior to the opening date how
they may purchase their stamps and
will receive by letter complete in
structions as to how they may buy
food stamps if they desire to do SO.
This increased consumption of
surplus foods by families receiving
public assistance creates a new mar
ket for the farmers and stabilzes
farm prices.
Foods currently listed as surplus
in May include butter, eggs, dried
prunes, raisins, uncooked pork, pork
lard, corn meal, hominy grits, dry
edible beans, wheat flour and whole
wheat or graham flour, Irish pota-
toes, and carrots. Also the following
fresh fruits. oranges, apples and
grapefruit.
All retail food merchants who
wish to take part in the Food
Stamp Plan when it opens in this
area must first register with the
Surplus Marketing Administration
office, 504 Power Block, Helena,
Mont. No fee or charge of any
kind is made for this registration
for participation in the plan. To
insure that all participating food
understand and comply
fully with the regulations and con-
ditions governing the plans opera
