RURAL RIDING RoUoHER.

The WPB has instructed local ra-
tioning boards to refuse issuance OF
certificates for tires to replace the
mud and snow tires, as well as new
tires for the tractor. Replacing snow
and mud tires ON passenger cars with
smoother treads won't be conserving
rubber any, so the board decided that
their owners must continue using them
until worn out.
FILL COAL BINS.
Price Administrator Leon Henderson
has notified Northwest War Production
Board officials to carry the news to
all points. It's this:
Pack into your coal bins or sheds
all you can of your next winters coal
supply. You'll be helping the war ef-
fort considerably by getting it in now
instead of waiting for next autumn's
snow furries.
"The advice to buy coal now may
develop into a now or never appeal
for many coal users" Henderson said.
Transportation now is available to
haul from the mine to the consumers
coal bins, but by fall our railroad and
truck lines win be loaded to capacity |
hauling war shipments"
WOOD REPLACES STEEL.
Because lumber is replacing steel in
much wartime building construction,
nail manufacturers have been asked
BY the WPB to increase their output
heavily during the next few months.
Normal production of nails in the
country ranges between $1,000 and
IS 900 tons a month. During this and

MANY GAMES OUT.

The WPB, in general invasion of
Americas playtime activities, ordered
stop in production of playing cards,
poker chips, dice, Mahjong and even
Ouija board after June 80.
The order has many other effects,
including scores of children's games,
dolls, toys, juvenile science sets, tricks,
puzzles, Christmas decorations and
electric lights, sleds, model building
sets, home playground and gymnasium
equipment and numerous other items.
Most of them require one critical
material or another.

have been directed to produce 72,OOO

The order requires them also to sell
their products only on orders carry

KEEP CLEANER GOING.
There will be no more vacuum
cleaners made after April 80, so the
Consumer Division of the Office of
Price Administrator suggests you keep
the old one in tip top shape. Here's
what handy man about the house
can do about it:
Clean and oil the motro regularly
but be sure to follow the manufac-
turer's directions. Keep the brushes and
dust bag clean. Adjust the nozzle to
the pile of the rug Replace frayed
connecting cords. Tell the Mrs. not
to try to pick up nails, pins. metal
objects or glass. If it acts UP beyond
your capacity to rectify, consult a re-
liable repair mar.
