Quotas Allotted
Western States
For Anti-Freeze

Due to difficulties in the distri-
button of volatile anti-freeze mix
lures in IA western states, the war
production board today took direct
action to see that passenger cars in
these states are supplied before cold
weather sets in.
The WPB ordered industrial al
cohol manufacturers with national
distribution to supply specific quo
tas to the IA states upon receipt OF
orders from dealers.
The states involved are: Arizona,
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, oregon, South OAK
ota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.
One cause of shortage was the
fact that distribution was ordered
on the basis of last years alcohol
anti-freeze shipments. However,
last year calcium chloride, which is
now forbidden, displaced alcohol
mixtures to some extent.
Areas where this occurred now
find themselves short of anti-freeze
supply. Another difficulty has been
that some manufacturers have given
preference to states nearest points
of production.
Under the directiveS issued by the
WPB chemicals division, each of
the IA states will receive supply
equal to one-and-one-half gallons
per passenger car registered. Man
were instructed to fill all
orders up to their quotas assign
ments by Oct. Is.

County Is Lagging
In War Loan Drive;
Far Short of Quota
CHAIRMAN FRIEDLUND SAYS CITIZENS
MUST BUY $5OOOOO WORTH
DURING NEXT WEEK

If Valley county is to meet its
quota of $670,100 in the Third War
Loan campaign, its individual citi-
zens must buy about S50O,000 in war
bonds in the next week.
This situation was revealed by
A. B. Friedlund. chairman of the
county campaign committee, at it's
meeting Tuesday night.
The county, he said, has barely
purchased 25 percent of the nee
essary quota as its part in the
greatest drive in history for funds
to prosecute and shorten the war.
Hard Work Needed
while it is still possible to meet
the quota, it will take the hardest
kind of work from every committee
member the coming week." Mr..
Friedlund commented. 1T will also
mean that every potential bond
buyer will have to dig little deep
err"
do not wait until a solicitor has
approached you for pledge" he
added. Buy Bonds at once Com
mittteemen are busy people, too,
and are giving time which they ur-
gently need to take care of their
own business. This is an individual
obligation for every citizen of this
county.
valley county went way over the
top in both the First and Second
War Loan campaigns. We do not
want to see that record spoiled"

der the direction of Miss Drusilla
Reichard. Other soldier talent do
mated was in the person of Pfc.

expected in the county, 81 have ar

horses last week, Donald and Ray
mond Miller, sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Miller, found a bobcat hid
den in a gulley on their fathers
farm north of Richland.
The boys, who were horseback,
chased the cat several miles before
they finally roped and dragged him
to death. True to nature the animal
started fighting and screaming upon
being captured.
Although bobcats are widely dis
tributed over southwestern Canada
and over all the United States this
is the first time one has been found
in this locality. so far as is known.
Being naturally shy and cautious,
they live where forest and brush
can give them protection and food.
The bobcat averages in length
from 80 to 40 inches and seldom
weighs more than 20 to 80 pounds.
This one measured Sc inches from
tip of ear to tip of tail and weighed
26 pounds. He was brought to town
and will be stuffed and mounted by
Lyle curtis, who makes a hobby of
such work.
