A slash of two mills in the
New Baltimore school tax rate,
reducing taxes in the lakeside

resigned to take a post with a
school supply house. His sue
cessor has been associated with
the Harbor Beach schools for
several years and is also a mem
Der of the city council there,

Other than that, only one
change appears definitely proba-
bic in the teaching sta Of ten,

WAR NEWS
BY Mrs. Chas. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

So as not to confuse you, floor
wax is for floors, but sealing wax is
not for ceilings-and speaking of cell
ings:
Out of the birth of price control
comes new ceilings on potatoes, onions
and turkeys.
This is to insure continued pro-
duction as demand this fall is greater
than the supply.
This higher price will provide COM
penSation for costs of storage and
deterioration involved in marketing
of seasonable crops.
So far as the housewife is con-
cerned the new regulation will have
the immediate effect of permitting
an average rise of 1c per pound on
potatoes and Zee per pound on onions
while it meant a chicken, goose or
duck instead of the traditional turkey
for dinner.
OPA has prohibited the use of steel
in IS more products. Here are a
few of them:
Buttons for work clothing, coffee
pots, cutlery, dishes, wash tubs, win
dow screens and frames.
About rs per cent of our present
steel production is now going for
direct war uses.
1t looks like Minnesota farmers
will raise new crop-that is, new
to most of us-in the interest of the
war effort. The crop is hemp.
The hemp program will be carried
out under the direction of the Com
modify Credit Corporation in COOP
Grafton with the AAA county COM
mitteeS.
Here is why we need hemp. It is
a fiber used for rope, burlap and 9TH
er coverings, was imported from the
Philippines.
With that supply cut off by the
war we must produce our own.
The military forces need a ire
mendous amount of products made
of hemp.
We don't know just what areas Of
the state will be asked to produce
hemp, but it will be announced right
soon.
In the meantime if you have come
to the end of your rope-tie knot
and hang on!
A cord of we'll cured fuel wood
will save about ton of coal for war
industries.
Our filters and trainees that are in
the armored forces where they dis
pense gasoline and other flammable
material are issued spark proof
shoes.
This spark proof shoe uses vul-
canized fibre instead of metal, as
washers in the heels. The nails are
made of non-sparking material.
