VITA URGES MORE
USE Of CABBAGE
Sets Feb. "a To March 4 AS
Special Period To Take Up
SOuth's Big Crop

Farmers, grocers, wholesalers
civic groups and government agen-
cies in Montana are joining forces
to increase consumption of a win
ter cabbage crop half again as large
as any ever before produced.
The campaign follows war food
administration designation of cab
bage as a nationwide "Victory Food
Selection" during the period Feb
"a to March 4, seeking full utiliza-
ton of the bumper crop.
Although much of the cabbage
now available for market will De
dehydrated for the armed forces
and allies abroad, served to armed
forces here, and some used to re-
plenish the "kraut" supply, a large
balance is still left to be incorporat-
ed into wartime menus.
Cabbage is rolling in from the
fields of California and Arizona i'll
abundance, and housewives, res
taurants and other establishments
are urged to use it extensively.
VIA recommends the preparation
of home sauerkraut for future use
in view of the governments in
creased requirements from the 1914
canned vegetable pack for direct
war needs. Greater quantities Of
cabbage and other fresh vegetables
must be used for civilian consump-
ton to offset the reduction in avail
able supplies of canned goods.

then folded up and the offense lost
its punch with Whitson out, and the
Cougars scored ten points while
Laurel could collect only four in the
remainder of the game.
The Columbus team played like
champions. Graham and George
Scott showed that they al loop
them from just about any place on
the court and in Bill Scott they pre-

all times with his driving dribbles
and quick breaks under the basket.

LET Us Face Problems Honestly
And Couraseously," Mrs. Bolton Says
BY consrsssmon Frsness P. Bolton :

US. Our domestic problems must be
worked out. We must take our true
place among the nations.
To do these things adequately and
II. what we have called the American
way. changes OF many kinds will be
necessary but |. for one. am not afraid
OF changes. Whatever we do for our
discharged service men will require
readjustments in the relationships that
are involved with their greatest need
Jobs.
Government. Capital. Management,
and Labor need to re-examine them
selves with these jobs in view. and
then sit down together to solve the
problems that lie ahead. with equal
fairness and justice and opportunity
for all concerned.
TO ME that is an essential. for with.
= out such readjustment we cannot
have strength or unity. Without
these we cannot use the tremendous
power that is ours for the building Of
peace throughout the world. Such
power can become menace rather
than a blessing. Properly and ade-
quately used this power of ours can
lead the world through the difficult
path OF war TO a constructive and
lasting peace
There is so much TO be done. Let
us face the problems honestly and
courageously. determine the best
American way to solve them and then
go forward. | know it is not as SIM
pie as that sounds but | am certain,
II can be done ii we make up our
minds 10 do it.

ever-increasing speed.
But there has been sufficient pro-

situation will be met with great FORE
sight. | can assure you this will con-
tinue to be one OF the 'firsts' in my

THERE has been some talk of lift
1 ing shoe rationing. This. how
ever, is not likely to come soon.
Dealers inventories OF rationed shoes
decreased 20 per cent from September,

during the first six months of this
year was l34.OOO,O0O pairs compared
with l54,OOO.0OO pairs in the same
period last year.
Increased production of non-rationed
types OF shoes has resulted in some
relief. but not enough to bring supply
and demand into balance.
