Oster also announced a new,
three-color map showing distribu-
ton of Montana's mineral wealth
would be available for distribu-
ton in connection with the exhibit
which is expected to be opened

Change Issuing
Of Rdtioning Books

"Important changes will be
made in the issuance of all new
ration books. including replace
ments of lost, n,utilated or stolen
books and furlough rations be-
ginning Jan. 2, 1885," A. NJ
Chilly, chairman of the Big Horn
county OPA Price Contro,
board announced this week.
"Starting Jan. 2, just the fooa
application blanks will be handled
by the local boards and not the
books, Mr.. Chilly said. The APP
plicants may secure the applica-
ton forms by either writing or
calling at their board or the OI'A
district office in Helena. These
forms must be filled out and
mailed to the Price division at
the OPA state office and the new
books will be mailed from there
to the applicant The Price Con-
troll boards, formerly known as
the War Price and Rationing
boards, will no longer issue any
new ration books.
Mr.. Crilly said that the change
was made to conform with other
post war changes made by the
agency and to enable the board
members to devote more time to
price control activities. Applica-
ton blanks may be obtained by
mail or personal call from the fol-
lowing boards Or from the dis
trict office of Price Administra-
ton: Anaconda, Bozeman, Bill
ings, Butte, Glasgow, Havre.
Glendive, Great Falls, Helena,
Kalispell, L.ewistown, Miles City,
Missoula, Livingston and Shelby.
The change does not in any
way affect those persons already
in possession of ration book four.
These people will continue to use
The same sugar stamps they have
been using. Mr.. Crilly wanted to
emphasize again that Price Con-
troll boards will no longer issue
ration books.

TIRE
ENDS JANUARY l

Tire rationing will end Jan. l.,
1916 at 1901 am. the OPA has
announced. In the meantime no
tire certificates will be issued by
the local Price Control boards ex-
cept in hardship cases.
H. X. Anderson, price execut-
i've of the Montana district OPA
office, called attention to the
fact that even though tires will
be unrationed, they are still sub
ject to price control. Due to the
fact that there will still be short
ages in supply the OPA will
watch carefully SO that any OPP
erations may be avoided which
would deprive legitimate purch-
asers of tires at reasonable
prices. The OPA sets dollar and
cents ceiling prices on the sale
of all new tires.

cent on Jan. l, 1916, according

used cars in the low price class
may be further reduced in order
to place them in proper relation
ship with prices for 1916 low
priced passenger cars.
OPA regulations provide for a

COMMODITY PRICES
5. Some rationing may continue
through most of 1916; but it will
rapidly be eliminated. Price re-
strictions will gradually be less
ened.
6. The retail price of most
manufactured products will be
higher during 1916. than at pre-
sent. The prices of some Of the
food products may decline.
z. The unit sales of some, de-
partments stores will begin to
decline some time during 1916;
but the sales Of the food and
variety chains may continue ut
peak figures.
8. The great question mark Of
1916 will be how, to whom and
at what price the government will
dispose of its billions of dollars
worth of unneeded supplies.
FARM OUTLOOK
9. Pending a weather upset,
more bushels of corn and wheat
and more bales of cotton will be
raised in 1916 than ever before in
our history. Although some prices
may slide off, the total farm in
come for 1916 should hold up
fairly well.
10. There should be an increase
in certain fruits, fish products
and vegetables with a decline in
prices. The U. s. will have more
to eat in 1916 than in l945. The
per capita consumption should be
10 % above the prewar level of
l935-l939.
IL. Dairy and poultry products
viii continue to increase in vol
ume with no increase in price.
| There will be a great surplus of
eggs; but fats, sugar and some
canned goods will continue short.
~. Farmers will start in 1916
to work to extend legislation on
their parity program due to fear
of a postwar collapse in farm
prices.
TAXES
10. Taxes will not be increased
during 1916; and there may be
further reductions. Some nuisance
taxes will he eliminated altogether
IA. The Federal Debt will con-
tinue to increase during 1916, but
l expect no War Bond drives.
IS. Whatever is done about
taxes, the cost of living will con-
tinue to rise during 1916 due
largely to increased wages.
l6. Providing jobs for return.
ing soldiers at satisfactory wage!
will be the big political task OF
1876. There will be jobs for al
but not the wages desired.
RETAIL SALES
II. The volume of retail sale:
will he about the same as ir
1915. Sales of ladies' apparel ant
general Injuries will suffer, but
many items o unavailable will
be purchased.
lS. The total dollar retail
sales should exceed l945 with ar
increased demand for wooden anG
Gotten textiles.
10. There will be a great de-
mand for mems clothig and es,
pecially for shirts with honest
standard length "tails".
20. Wise shoppers will buy on,
ly what they need and not grail
to stock up unnecessary supplies
FOREIGN TRADE
2l. The United States will owr
over SO 60 of the worlds ship
ping in 1916.
%. We will make England
and some other countries loan!
provided they will agree to spent
a fai- portion of the money IL
the United States.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1945-12-27

%. Both the British Empire
and Russia will keenly compete
for foreign trade in 1876; but
cartels and government monop-
olies will be frowned upon.
"a. Russia, Germany and Eng
land may try to gang up" a.
gainst the United States but we
will fearlessly oppose such act
ions if they occur.
rs. The Little Steel Formula
will be forgotten during 1916.
The year will be noted for strikes
and labor troubles.
26. Industrial employment dur
ing 1916 will be off both in
hours and in pay rolls, labor lead
ers' efforts notwithstanding.
81. Many industries, now OPP
week, will return to a forty or
forty-five-hour week during 1916.
%. Hourly wage rates will in
crease, but "take-home" income
| will be less. Labor will demand
better management and closer
labor-management relations.
INITIATION
20. The initiation era which l
have been ~forecasting for several
years will be very evident in
1916. The purchasing power of
the dollar will continue to decline.
80. Both wage and price con-
trolls will gradually be removed
during 1916 until the government
throws IN it's hands and lets ma
ture take it's course.
81. Some time after 1916, pro-
duction will catch up with con
sumption, people will have spent
their money and then there will
be a surplus of goods. By 1850
there may be much unemploy-
ment. Then may come the sever
est initiation by Congress attemp-
ting to check the decline by
: printing currency. But this is
something we need not IVORY a.
bout for two or three years.
32. If Stains health continues
good, he will be the worlds most
powerful man in 1916 and man
be a factor in determining world
prices as we'll as production. The
markets may even witness u
"communistic scare" during 1916:
but they should recover soon
thereafter.
STOCK MARKET
SO. The rails will decline some
time during 1916. Certain air
plane manufacturing, shipbuilding
and other war stocks may decline,
but the Dow-Jones Industrial
Averages will reach higher figures
some time during 1916 than ut
present.
81. The safest stocks to buy
considering value, income and
safety-will continue to be the
merchandising stocks, especially
chain store stocks.
35. 1915 saw a large increase
in the demand for initiation stocks
with a lesser demand for nom
Imitation stocks; but 1916 should
witness both groups moving more
or less together. Switching has
been over-done in many cases.
SO. Stock markets will continue
to witness creeping general in
f~lation, although the stock mar
ket as a whole may appear to
have reached its peak before
December 81, 1916.

GENERAL BUSINESS
2. A year ago the United States Babsonchart Index of the Phv-
steal Volume of Business finally registered las. TODAY it is estimated
at 1913 jusifying my forecast of a year ago. The Canadian Babson-
chart Index of the PHYSICAL Volume of Business finally registered POS
a year ago: TODAY it is estimated at 100. 1916 will show a further
al-over decline in both United States and Canadian business Further
more, most of the following comments apply to both countries.
{. The re-converson of industry from to peace business will
increase during much of 1916. However. time required for re-convcr-
sion will not be as great as most people believe.
4. Inventories, quoted both at their price values and their vol
umes will increase during 1916. Both raw material piles and manu-
featured goods will be larger.
