>lZdJlOH, WOULD pay l. Genus a
pound for copper instead of IL
cents; II cents a pound for
zinc instead of 814 cents and
9M cents for lead instead of
ST cents, amounts to appar-
emily nothing but an appease-
ment of the "paytriot" produc-
ers of the metals.
While the Office of Price Admins
tration's approval tries to excuse its
action by saying that only Surplus"
production will be paid for at the II
cents pound rate, this excuse falls
flat in the face of the fact that most
of the surplus will be phony surplus
because most of 1t could have been
produced at the old rate, had the pro-
duction been increased to its possible
peak since the time when the country
entered upon its emergency The de-
lay in production does not seem to
have any other reason back of it than
deliberate Showdown" as a part of
plan to create scarcity and gouge
higher prices out of the government
for the metals.
AS the Init. Union of Mine Mill
&c Smelter Workers (CIO), whose pro-
gram for increased copper production
has ben given the brush off, noted in
their copper plan, most of the major
producers of copper have been operat-
ing at far less than capacity.
The CLIO union pointed to the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining G. Con-
centrating Co., an Idaho producer
which has been letting six levels In
a 23-level mine stand idle, which is
turning out 1876 pounds of lead a day
from a smelter with 350-ton capa-
city, and which is letting one blast
furnace stand idle although the fur
mace has the same capacity as the
two furnaces in operation.
The Douglas Mine, the president of
which is the president of Bunker Hill

some of the best zinc ores In the

EMPLOYMENT
OFFICE READY
TO SERVE FARMS

With America at war, it is esti-
mated that 100000 additional man
years of labor will be needed this
year to plant, cultivate and harvest
what is hoped will be the largest crop
in American history, according to an
announcement by 0. G. Lamport, d.
rector of the Montana division of the
United States Employment Service.
1--WE are preparing in Montana to
do our part" said Lamport Each
of the % public employment offices
in the state will have on its staff a
qualified person responsible for farm
labor placement. Also farm placement
work in Montana will be co-ordinated
with that of other states in the Rocky
Mountain area by a federal farm
placement representative at the re-
gional office of the Social Security
Board in Denver.
what this means to the farmers
and farm workers in Montana" the
director said, SIS this: If farmer
needs workers and none can be found
in his locality, we can get them quick
ly, il they are anywhere available,
from other localities or from other
states. 1t means that If worker can
not find job locally we can direct
him to a job somewhere else. We
can eliminate much of the waste in
time and energy caused by haphazard
iOh-cha ginp and iOh-fillinP
"In this time Of national emergency,
farm employers and workers alike
should use the facilities of the public
employment offices to make certain
that Americas production of food is
not hampered by lack of farm work
ers the time and place they are
needed"

Nelson Keeps Same Team;
Changes the Rules

Nelson Keeps Same Team;
Changes the Rules
The players on the team haven I
been changed much, but Coach Don
aid Nelson has shuffled them around
somewhat and drastically changed the
rules of the game.
And, says Nelson, those who cant
perform under the new rules will nave
to look for jobs elsewhere.
1t was to be expected that Nelson
would use most of the old players
rather than bring out an altogetner
new team. There isn't time for ex-
perimentation. But whether the old
players can hit real stride under
the changed rules remains to be seen.
A hard boiled coach can sometimes
get results. Nelson promises to pc
hard-boiled.
1t will be interesting to watch the
performance of the boys from the
Army and Navy procurement offices
(the brass hats) under the new ar
rangement.
These fellows have always consld-
cred themselves to be a power unto
themselves, answerable to nobody
Outside criticism bothers them little,
and even what Adolf Hitler does
seems to concern them remotely, IL
one judges by their actions. They
are responsible for one of the most
serious bottlenecks in the entire de-
Tense program. They created great
backlog of defense orders by d1shlng
out contract after contract to their
big business friends, with no regard
whatever as to how soon the contracts
could be filled. They let others wor-
ry about that.
The brass hats will still be there
but their absolute power has Deen
broken. Donald Nelson is their boss
and if they don't do things as the
boss wants them done, thereH be
trouble. It looks as though the brass
hat dynasty has ended.
A new feeling seems to pervade the
former OPM (OPM has been abol-
ished but the staffs continue to func-
ton under the new setup) offices.

MARKET FOR
GRAIN STILL
ON UPGRADE
Movement of Cash Grain to
Terminals Increase Last
Week; Price Control Legis-
lation Exercises Strengthen
ing Influence.

An upward tendency continued In
grain markets during the week ended
January %, according to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. An agreement
on price control legislation by both
houses of congress which included a
provision that the ceiling of farm
prices must not be fixed lower than
1907 of parity furnished strengthen
ing Influence. The higher prices
brought about a large increase in the
movement of cash grains to the Min
neapolis market and receipts during
the week were about double those of
the previous week and three to four
times greater than they were for the
corresponding period year ago. The
larger cash offerings made for a gen.
orally easier premium situation on all
grains which in some cases offset the
advance in the basic futures. The
heavier movement of cash supplies
also brought the storage situation
again to the fore and lack of suitable
elevator space again became factor
determining the cash trading basis
and the quickness in which supplies
wer absorbed from day to day.
WHEAT: G. G. G. loans on 1941
wheat to January 10, 1912, amounted
to 351, $4,000 bushels. Sales of wheat
by the G. G. c.. for the week ended
January II totaled 11,596,000 bushels,
bringing the total to 33,858,0O0 BUSH
els. The corporation still held 1885,
761 900 bushels as of January II.
The Department of Agriculture an
nounced plan for the offering of ap-
proximately 1O0,0O0,O00 bushels of
wheat by the Commodity Credit Cor
poration for feed, to aid producers of
livestock, dairy, and poultry products
in attaining the goals established I'M
der the production program Of the
department. Also, the disposal Of
substantial quantities of wheat will
aid in making additional storage
space available for the 1912 grain
crops.
Under this plan the feed wheat
sales price per bushel for cracked
wheat delivered to the purchaser will
be the lower of ~ the 1941 wheat
loan value at point of delivery; or (2)

corn per bushel at point of delivery

dates back to 1854, when the colors
of Holland and Bavaria were COM

More than 20 nations are said to

the Dutch, just changed the red
to yellow before adopting the en-

All you do is eat KELLOGG'S

plenty of water. ALL-BRAN is a
crisp, delicious cereal. It works
quite differently from many
medicinal laxatives. They work
by prodding the intestines into
action or by drawing moisture
into them. from other parts Of
the body. But ALL-BRAN acts
principally on the contents Of
the colon, helping you to have
easy and normal elimination.
ALL-BRAN is made by Kelloggs
