ment follows:

minds of the people Of Mon

which has advanced $150,0O0,-
900 for the program, has des-
ignated 100 warehouses through
out the country as delivery
points, and the $4,000 offices of
the Railway Express Agency will
collect the tires and bring them
to the warehouses.

RICE HEREFORDS
GET GOOD RATING

According to word received
here this week, the John Rice
Herefords received high ratings
at the National Polled Hereford
show in jackson, Miss, Nov. IL
to II.
Their twelve head of Big Horn
county HerefordS brought the
highest average price of all
groups sold at the sale which
followed the show, and the
Rices won the Texas cup,
awarded for the best yearllng
sale bull of the show. The same
calf was the grand champion

Placings won by the Rice
Herefords were as follows: sec
ond, fifth and sixth in a class
of q summer yearling bulls;
third in a class of 80 Of senior
bull calves; third, eleventh and
fifteenth in a class of 80 junior
bull calves; tenth in a class OF

heifer calves.
The heifer calves that placed

Rice cattle entered in the
group contests were placed as
follows: third on three bulls,
second on two bulls, third and
fifth on get of SIRE" third on

II have been working and will
continue to work in conjunction
with national and state head
quarters of the Selective Service
to see that the Montana draft
quota is adjusted to the nation
al scale and that Montana is not
Disseminated against. Because
of our efforts and the great
number of voluntary enlist
ments in the armed forces, the
Montana quotas for November
and December show a reduction
of approximately so per cent
over the quotas for September,
October and proceeding months.
This means that in so far as
possible the November and De-
cember calls will be for single
men only, and we hope that by
January the national scene will
be such that it will not be ne
ceSSary to call for some time
married men who were married
before Pearl Harbor or at a time
when their induction was not
imminent.
1T is my conviction that a
national pool of manpower
should be established imme-
diately in order that married
men should not be called in
one state before single, monde
ferred men are called in other
states. The enactment of such a
law would prevent discrimina-
tion and would insure the re-
tention of essential men in Mon
tana for necessary work on
farms, in mines, and in essential
occupations. I am urging that
this proposal be placed in legis-
lation pending in congress and
have written members of con-
gress requesting that such &C
ton be taken at once.
National and state Selective
Service headquarters have been
entirely cooperative in working
out a solution to our Montana
problems. We are attempting
to see to it that no married
men are called except those
married when their Induction
was imminent or after the dec
laration of war. This is impos-
sible in certain counties where
there are no single men avail
able and where Induction not
ices have already been mailed.
Temporarily, however, the states
quota will be allocated to those
counties which have single men
available for call"

TRUCK REGISTER
STARTS FRIDAY

Oct. %, % and "a are the
dates set in Big Horn county
for the registration of all trucks
which haul farm produce and
supplies, says George C. Miller,
chairman of the Big Horn coun-
ty USDA war board.
Farmers and truckers hauling
agricultural products will be
unable to purchase gasoline,
tires, tubes or parts after Nov. Is
without certificates of war ne
ceSSity, it was stated. Applica-
tons for these certificates have
been mailed to all owners of
trucks, buses and vehicles
other than passenger cars by
the office of defense transpor-
tation. These must be returned
to the ODT so that certificates
may be issued by Nov. Is.
The country farm transporta-
ton committee and volunteer
workers will assist farmers in
filling out their applications this
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
from 8 am. to 9 pm. in the
community room of the court
house in Hardin and from 8 am.
to 6 pm. at the post office in
Decker. Someone will be at the
MaSterson store at Pryor on
Friday and at the Townsend
hall in Lodge Grass on Satur-
day.
Truck owners are advised to
bring with them to registration
places all available material
that will help to determine
miles driven, loads carried and
gasoline used during 1941 and
the third quarter of 1912.
Persons who own commercial
vehicles and who have not yet
received application forms from
the ODT should write at once
to the ODT, Box 2259, Detroit,
Mich, or report the fact to per-
sons helping register farm
trucks on national farm truck
registration days, Oct. %, % and
"a.
Certificates of war necessity
are designed to limit truck
operations to those necessary to
the war effort and to make the
best possible use of each veh-
icle To achieve this, certificates
will set the maximum mileage
and the minimum load for each
truck. Without certificates trucks
cannot be lawfully operated,
nor can gasoline, tires or repair
parts be obtained for them after
Nov. IS.
with no more civilian trucks
being built and with limited
supply of repair parts, it is abb
solutely essential that our CON-
mercial vehicles be given the
best Of care. Every mile of I'M
necessary driving must cease.
Our commercial vehicles will
last a long time if proper con-
servation measures are institu-
ted now. For that reason, the
ODT has required under ODT Or
der 81 all the nations trucks
operate under certificates of
war necessity. Certificates will
provide farmers the essential
travel necessary to operate their
farms in the best interest of war
economy" Mr.. Miller said.
