SATURDAY, JUNE 5

1, This is not an important day in planetary direction. There is good sign for understanding between workers and those who employ | them.
 HEART AND HOME: Now that victory gardens are beginning to pay for themselves, wise house. wives who were guided by astrolo- gy will rejoice It will be remem- bered that for best results crops that produce their yield above the soil should be planted when the Moon is new or in the first quar- ter. Crops that produce their yield in the soil and grow from bulb formation should be planted when the Moon is full or in the last quarter Many skeptics regarding astrology may learn much about it's truths this Summer.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Return to i the manufacture of certain civilian commodities, especially refrigera- tors and washing machines, will appear imperative this month and the stars presage limited supplies of a number of things necessary to the American house June should be a time when it is pos sible to ease many pinches due to war conditions. Adjustments will prove that certain Government measures were too extreme to be wise or practical.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers have emphasized the element of surprise in events connected with wartime developments Many uneX- plainable things will happen this Summer and there may be a sense of confusion in the public mind The need of preserving a positive point of view which supports Gov ernment policies with unflagging patriotism is imperative. There will i be revelations of mismanagement and mistakes affecting our part in United Nations offensives, if the stars are rightly read but they must stimulate future efforts to- ward victory.
 INTERNATIONAL A FFAIR S.: Certain of the seers attribute to the square of Mars to Saturn the careful balancing of offensive plans against obstacles of many sorts, for this aspect stresses the value Of timing. Criticism of the retarded offensive should be accepted as due to lack of knowledge regarding the many obstacles in the way of suc- cessful mobilization of our millions at battle fronts thousands of miles distant. Victory will prove how wise was the plan ito make haste slow lly'

GROVER c. WINN-Pioneer

The Territory of Alaska suffered distinct loss with the passing of Grover Cleveland Winn
 He was in every an Alaskan pioneer. He had not only lived in the Territory for upwards of fifty years but he had the peculiar qualities of the pioneer. Having arrived here, with his parents, when he was little less than eight years old, he grew up on the frontier. When Grover Vim arrived in Juneau, Juneau, was the furthermost limit of the frontier Here le. imbibed the rugged virtues of the pioneer, and he never ceased to be pioneer
 Straightforward, sometimes blunt, he lived a life that was utterly devoid of pretense and sham. He was a good lawyer, gifted with wit such as few possess. He made good United States Commis- sioner; he served as school trustee for more than twenty years and he was elected to the Legislature twice-durng the second term he served as speaker of the House-and for many years was city magistrate
 As a public servant he was loyal to his trust; and as lawyer, he equally loyal to his clients It is not easy to fill the place of man like that

WOODEN MOSQUITO

Ask the man in the street whether it's true or false that Ger many is now being bombed by planes made of wood, carrying no guns, and accompanied by no fighters. His answer: False. Correct answer: True.
 The RAF is now using such a plane, and most successfully. It is the new Mosquito bomber, made of spruce ply-wood, and using speed instead of armament. for it's pro- lection
 Persons who remember the fam ous air race from England to Aus tralia in 1884 know how the Mos quito got it's star. Winner of that race was the DeHaviland Comet. Only two planes of this type were ever built, but they served as a model for the devastating Mosquito which is dodging the fighters and anti-aircraft fire over Germany to- day.
 The Mosquito operates on a wholly different theory of attack and defense from the big four engined cannon and machine gun jobs that have done most of the RAF bombing. It has a top speed of 400 miles an hour, which means the fighters can't oyertake it. It dodges into a specific target, such as railroad yard, drops it's small load of bombs with deadly aim, dodges out again.
 At present the Mosquito is made only in Britain and Canada, but it's performance has so deeply im- pressed U. s. Air Forces that plans are on foot for it's production in the United States.

 In trying to worm back inside the AFL, he used the good offices of Big Bill Hutcheson, boss of the Carpenters Union-and herein lay the greatest irony of the entire operation.

PRICE INDEX
UP 6 POINTS

The index of prices received by
farmers for Montana crops, livestock
and livestock products advanced 6
points in the one-month period Dec.
Is, 1912 to Jan. Is, 1913, the U. S.
department of agriculture reports.
The January Is index of prices re-
ceived was $50 per cent of their 5-year
August 1909-July 1914 base compared
with 144 per cent a month earlier and
127 per cent a year earlier. All groups
except chickens and eggs advanced,
with grains and meat animals showing
the largest increases. Wheat adj
vanced cents from Dec. Is, 1912 to
Jan. Is, 1913 while the other grains
advanced from to cents The
meat animals group advanced points,
with beef cattle, veal calves, lambs
and hogs all advancing from 40 to 90
cents per hundred weight. Eggs
showed a seasonal drop of 3.6 cents
per dozen while chickens and turkeys
showed small decreases, these three
products being the only ones to regis
ter declines. Flaxseed advanced IS
cents while alfalfa seed and hay held
even.
Prices received by farmers for agri-
cultural commodities also continued
to increase during the month ended
January Is. The index of prices re-
ceived January Is rose points to
1872 per cent of the August 1909-July
1914 base, SO points above the same
date last year and the highest since
October 1920 All group indexes ex-
cept truck crops and fruits were high
er than month ago.
The combined index of prices paid
by farmers, interest and taxes rose 2
points to 1853 in mid-January compared
with the revised index for December
of 1876 per cent of the pre-World War
level. This resulted in a correspond
ing increase in parity prices of farm
commodities. The ratio of prices re-
ceived to prices paid, interest and
taxes, at lis, is 1 point higher than
the revised December ration of ia,
and the highest since June 1920.

Retail PRICING

An entirely new program for the
wartime control of retail food prices,
greatly simplifying OPA regulations
applying to food stores, while at the
same time paving the way for spe-

important foods. will go into effect in
January, the office of price admins

The forthcoming program-worked
out over many months-is the main
feature of the 'simplification of retail
pricing" plan.
The simplified regulations will pro-
vide food retailers with ceilings for
all meats and for all important lines
of groceries. When they go into eff
feet every housewife in any given
community will know exactly in cents

highest price she can be asked to pay

average from 354 companies, the study
found that profits after taxes were
l21% lower in the first half of 1912
than they had been in the first half
of 1941. However, this reversal may
be eased somewhat at the close of
1912 since the corporations had set up

Haste was imperative. Factories

under the stimulus of increased pro-
duction given by sudden transition to
war industry, and best of all, under
pressure of war necessity a concerted
attack could be made on labor organ
