Pork Product
Prices Pegged

An order placing a 60 day maxi
mum wholesale price regulation on
80 per cent of Americas pork prod
ucts, including ham and bacon, has
been announced. The new price
ceiling on dressed hogs and whole
sale pork cuts applies to packers
and their branch houses, car routes,
brokers, jobbers, wholesalers, pro-
cessors and slaughterers. It is ex-
pected to help Importantly in hold
ing down the cost of living
The price regulation becomes eff
fective March %, and the maximum
ceilings set are the highest prices
that prevailed during the five-day
period from March 3 to of this
year.
Neither farmers nor retail outlets
are covered directly by the order.
However, officials say both will
feel its effects. Packers buy farm
ers'ialive hogs for slaughter. Lard,
which packers also sell, previously
was placed under a price ceiling.
When price ceilings are placed on
dressed hogs or pork cuts, they linn
1t prices which the packer may
pay for the farmers hogs.

Price Ceiling Set
For Used Tires

A comprehensive price schedule,
fixing the maximum amounts which
may be charged for all types of used
tires, has been set by OPA and is
effective as of March 16. The sched-
ule divides used tires into four cate
gories depending on the amount of
wear, and fixes maximum prices
for each size in each category. For
example, the maximum price that
may be charged for 600 by Is,
4-ply used tire in the best condi-
ton is 1910
All persons who are holding tires
worn to the point where they are
no longer disable are urged to sell
them Immediately to a scrap or
junk dealer or turn them over to
a local collecting charity. That ac-
ton will help alleviate the pressing
demand for scrap rubber. Farmers,
particularly, are likely to have ac-
cumulations of old tires, as they fire.

Libby Soldier Writes
Home From Distant Land

w. A. Vaughn received letter
last week from his son, Ben, writ
ten under date of February 6, 1912,
who is somewhere with the United
States army. At that time Ben was
well and was very confident he
would live through the war and get
back home. There was nothing in
the letter to indicate where he is
stationed, except that he said it
was extremely hot. That would
permit him to be in any one of the
several places where u. S. forces
are now engaged.
Ben also wrote that he had seen
Willis Christensen, formerly assist
ant manager of the j. c. Penney Co.
store in Libby, and had also run
onto another Libby man in the
army, Forrest Potter.
Vaughn has a second son in the
army-Bill, who is now stationed
at Camp Callan, Calf.

Starts Drive
to Speed War
Production Work

Detailed plans for the production
drive announced last month by
President Roosevelt and Donald M.
Nelson, chief of the war produe-
ton board, are revealed in an of
fetal plan book" now being sent to
manufacturers of war materials in
the Rocky Mountain region.
The plan book, which outlines
specific steps to be taken in all
war production plants, calls for the
formation of labor management
committees to administer the pro-
duction drive in each plant.
THE plant committees must rec
ognize that the production drive is
not publicity campaign, not a
short-term drive" the preface of
the book states. 1T will continue
for the duration. It is a joint effort
on the part of government, manage
ment and labor to increase and ac-
celerate the production Of war ma
terial starting today and continu-
ing until complete victory has been
won by the United States
The production drive committee
is charged with taking specific steps
to increase plant efficiency, to en-
courage suggestions from employ
es, to display production charts in
all divisions of the plant, to main
tain bulletin boards and pamphlet
desks, to operate slogan contests
and to supervise various other ac-
tivities designed to stimulate the
drive spirit among both employ
ers and employees.
One of the important features of
the plan is provision for giving
recognition and credit to workers
who make outstanding contributions

Staples of the Lincoln County
USDA War Board. ITS going to be
lot tougher job operating our

New goals have been set in this
Food for Freedom campaign. These
goals are substantially larger than
were those established last fall.
This means that every acre of land,
every hour of labor and every bit

cute the war. 1t can be saidN that
Lincoln county farmers will do
their full part in meeting this en-

Goals For Lincoln County
This expanded program in food
production calls for enlarged goals
for Lincoln county as follows:
Milk-834, 400 gallons.
Cows ,614 head

No Restrictions on
Sole of Lumber

II should like to emphasize once
again that the Government has not
placed any restrictions whatsoever
on the sale of lumber said Earl
Switzer, in charge of the retail de
partment of the j. Neils Lumber
Company, while discussing this mat
ter Monday.
This ruling has been fully ex.
planned before but some people still
have the impression that lumber
cannot be bought for new house
This is wholly incorrect and lum-
Der can be bought just as freely
now as ever. If one is planning
new home, 60 right ahead; there
will be plenty of lumber for every
one said Mr.. Switzer.
