Sgt. Jacob Weber has returned to
civilian life after several years IN
the service. He was discharged last
week at Fort Smelling, MINI. When
he enlisted he chose the medical
corps as his preference and as a
result he has seen aspects of the
war that were apart from the aver
age. When in Italy he sat in Mus
solini's throne-like chair and saw
how the pomp-loving dictator could
for hours without lowering his hand
return the black shirt salute of
passing thousands: MISSY used a
wooden arm and hand, a handy
gadget for those who would like to
be great.

Receive Collection Of
Jap Paper, Hard Money

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Benin re-
ceived a large collection of Japanese
money Monday from their son,
PFC. Clarence Robert Benin, who
has been in the service about three
and a half years. Included were
several coins in addition to the
paper money, and there was one
American dollar bill. The collec-
ton appears to have been taken
from a Japanese soldier, for the
coins and bills had been used in
circulation.
Benin was home in February of
1914. He served % months over
seas at Midway and participated in
the battles of Midway and Guadal-
canal before returning to the States.
He went overseas again last Novem-
Der and is now on Okinawa.

siderable sunshine with near normal
temperatures was recorded in all
sections, the Helena office of the
U. 5. weather bureau, department
OF agriculture and Montana extern
sion service reported for the week
ending at $3.50 d. m. Tuesday.
No rain fell in the western coun-

eastern counties, except in Roose-
welt, Richland and Carter where

per cent. Severe hail loss also re-
suited in Richland, Custer and
Powder River counties on the

crops, held back by cool, stormy
weather in June, showed signifi-
response and grains also i'm
proved. Supplies of soil moisture,
Slapped by heavy vegetative growth
and higher temperatures, declined
in central and eastern portions and
more rainfall is needed. Some crop
damage from heat and insufficient
moisture has occurred in north CEN

siderable activity in cultivation and
of row crops and harvesting
lay during the week.
Beet thinning is completed with
Exception of a few scattered locali-

HOUSEWIVES GET
GLIMPSE INTO
OPA'S FUTURE

Housewives were given a clear
glimpse into the future when Price Ad-
ministrator Chester A. Bowles sent a
comprehensive memo on OPA's plans
to Congress. Bowles said it was his
hope and expectation" that most ra-
tioning programs will end by the new
year but he cautioned that price and
rent controls would be kept as long as
the initiation threat continues. Bowles
predicted the following OPA actions by
Christmas:
End of rationing OF meat, shoes and
rubber footwear.
End Of price controls on foods which
will not longer be in short supply.
Removal of rent controls in IS to 100
rental districts.
Bowles said supplies Of sugar, fats
and oils, including butter, would con-
tinue short until we'll int 1910. Ration
ing Of passenger car tires may continue
until the first quarter Of next year.
Recognizing the tremendous pressure
on rents caused by the acute housing
shortage the OPA chief said that rent
controls in general obviously will have
to continue for some time" The pro-
gram outlined by Bowles is cautious,
step-by-step affair, intended to relieve
consumers of as many OF the war in
.conveniences as possible without at the
same time throwing them to the infla-
tionists. Bowles will need all the con-
sumer support he can get in the defen-
sive battle he's waging against business
and congressional groups who want all
price controls lifted Immediately.

WHEN JOHNNIE
COMES HOME

More than a million veterans were
discharged from our armed forces in
1914. More are coming every day. To
help these men and their families re-
adjust to civilian life, the American
Legion Auxiliary is answering questions
that have been received which are Of
vital concern to all men and women in
the armed services and their families.
These questions are based on the GI
Bill Of Rights which Congress enacted
to help the veterans.
@. Is any veteran eligible to bene-
fits provided by the CT Bill?
A. No. Only those veterans who
served 90 days or more after September
10, 1910, and were discharged under
conditions other than dishonorable are
eligible unless discharged before 90
days because OF an actual service-con-
nected disability
Q. was under 25 years old when
entered service; am | eligible to return
to college and finish my course in
medicine?
A. So long as you had not passed
your 25th birthday when you entered
service you are automatically eligible to
all of the educational and other benefits
of the CT Bill
Q. have a friend who was over 25
and was just starting to practice law
when he entered service; now he feels
that he has to brush up on his law be-
cause he was away from it so long Is
he eligible for aid
A. If man was over 25 when enter
ing service he has two opportunities
/. He is automatically eligible for one
year refresher or retraining course; 2.
He can get the same educational bene-
fits as other men by proving that his
education was interrupted by entry into
service.
Q. Can any eligible veteran enter
any school anywhere if qualified for
desired course3
A. Yes.
