MORE RADIO TUBES
FOR new Year

Four and half million radio tubes
of critical types for civilian receiving
sets will be produced in 1914, it was
announced today by Oscar A. Baar-
son, WPB district manager here.
These tubes for household radio
sets are being scheduled for produc-
ton in sizeable quantities by plants
best equipped to produce them, ac-
cording to Mr.. Baarson. The civilian
tube program may not be a complete
solution of the home radio set prob
lem, but it will serve to put back into
service thousands of the sets Which
have been "blacked out" by limited
tube supplies, according to WPB. It
is expected that tubes will continue
to reach civilian outlets in increasing
quantities as the new program gets
under way.
The "hard-to-get" types of tubes
which are being pushed are 12-SA-7,
12-SK-7, 50-Lr6, 1915, 35-L-6, 1-H-5,
LAT, 80 and other critical types which
have not been produced in sufficient
numbers.

BOARD.
The judgment of the lower
court had granted to the power
company more water than was
available in the river most of
the year and more than ever
available during the latter part
of the irrigation season and the
injunction against the Water
Conservation and the Broad
water-Missouri Water Users
Association prohibited them from TAX
ing any water from the river during
most of the irrigation season.
In effect, the Judgment of the lower
court which has now been reversed,
rendered the Toston dam from which
the Broadwater county farmers Sc
cured their irrigation water, useless,
and would have compelled the farm
ers to purchase the water from the
Montana Power Company. 1t placed
them completely at the mercy of the
InOuOpOly CDutIOi Vi luS TlfeT Uy Tie
power company, and naturally made
it impossible for them to plan pro-
duction of their crops. Moreover the
decision precluded any further new
irrigation development.
The power company claimed sole
and exclusive right to all waters and
flow of the Missouri river upstream
from the Morony dam. That it had
no need for the bulk of the waters
is shown by record taken at the
nine Missouri river plants of the com
pany on May %, 1889. This showed
that 23,180 second feet were used and
a total of 61,222 spilled on that day
The dog in the manger" attitude of
the company in bringing the action
against the Broadwater farmers is
clearly shown as the amount used by
the farmers amounted to only about
100 second feet.
The complete opinion of the court
of appeals has not as yet been re-
ceived by the Water Conservation
Board, but it is stated that when it is
received it will be made available in
full to interested parties.

TIRE, TUBE SUPPLY STILL LOW
Tire. and tube quotas for January
reflect the continuing shortage. The
quota of 276,629 new truck tires is
1880 less than the December figure,
and the quota of 230,400 new truck
tubes is 27,787 under the December
figure. Similarly, a lessening in de-
mand which usually occurs during the
colder months accounts for lower jan
uary quotas for farm tractor and farm
implement tires and tubes. The tire
quota is 27,600-lower by 1900 than
the December figure, while the jan
uary tube quota is 23,000-lower by
5000.

Acceptance of five-gallon "R"
gasoline coupons, issued to farm
ers and other non-highway users,
will be outlaWed throughout the
Nation on April Except by bulk
plants and stations that regularly
make deliveries to non-highWay
bulk consumers. Stations can OBJ
tain permission from OPA district
directors, however, to accept r.
coupons if more than half of their
business consists of bulk transfers.
Rules on "E" coupons remain un-
changed. These coupons may be
accepted at filling stations SO long
as they are not exchanged for gas
oline delivered into the tank of
motor car. Farmers who buy most
of their gasoline at filling stations
have until April to exchange r.
for e. coupons. Farmers can now
make a single endorsement-in-
stead of multiple endorsements as
in the past-on any strip or block
of "E" or "R" coupons turned over
to dealer for single purchase,
WPB is now permitting the use
of alloy steel in the manufacture
of hand shovels, axes, heavy forged
hand tools, hand forks, and other
items. Carbon steel has heretofore
been used as wartime substitute.
The use of alloy steel will in many
cases result in superior products.
Principal items affected, in addition
to those mentioned, include;
spades, scoops, forges, axes, hatch
cts, broad axes, aozes, light ham,
mers, hooks, rakes, hoes, and cul-
tivators.

Chairman Frank Tripp ofthe Allied

The figures showed that The

with total space value Of $21,-

OUT OF TREASURY FILES
Tripp explained that tie figures
were compiled from measurements
made for the t.eatury's war finance
division by the Advertising Check
ing Bureau, Inc, but they covered
neither the milliGns spent for war
bond prCmoticn between the major
drives nor in the first war loan
drive Of late 1912, on which no ad-
vertising measurements were made
Likewise to be added to these fig
ures, Tripp said, in an overall
estimate Of newspapers share in
war bond selling, is the enormous
total of news and editorial support
which newspapers themselves have
contributed to the cause.
The figures do not include the
invaluable news and editorial sup
pert given by newspapers every
where.
4TH BOND DRIVE
Newspaper promotion of war
bonds reached its high point, re-
gardless of paper shortage, in point
of number of war bond advertising
messages, in the fourth war loan,
which was backed by 159,878 in
dividual ads-89,048 in daily news
papers and 70,830 in weekly news
papers-as compared with a tctal
of 152,793 ads supporting the third
loan and 1889 in support of the
second.
News and editorial support for
the fourth war loan reached a total
of 35.000000 lines CT Space-22 000,-
COO lines in Gailies and 100000
