FOUR MILES GAINED

A large proportion of German
prisoners captured by the First
Division were service troops. A

IT was reasonable to suppose that
if the Nazis are reduced TO using
troops of this type, continued
American attacks NAV be antici-

First Army troops already have
gained more than four miles
since 1t. Gen. Hodges inaugurated
the drive yesterday in a blizzard.
Numerous German surrenders
were reported.

Civilians Are
Getting Big
Bulk Of Meat

Although we will see a reduction
of the supplies in meat even fur
ther, civilians in the United State!
still are getting 80 per cent of its meat
production, it was stated by Donald
Erskine of Helena, assistant district
information executive for the OPA
in Montana, at a talk in the court
house Friday night.
MI. ErSkine's talk here vas Spcn-
sored by the Glasgow Junior Cham
Der of Commerce. j. c. Baker pre-
sided. Two moving pictures, Prices
Unlimited" and The Story with
Two findings" were shown by Mr..
Erskine.
THE OPA does not want to keep
controls n minute longer than
necessary" Mr.. Erskine declared.
IF we can hold initiation to a mod
crate rise, we will have a much bet
ter chance for postwar stability"
He pointed out that 40 percent of
the World War I price rise came
after the Armistice in November,
1918. The real crash" came in 1920,
with 100000 farm foreclosures that
year, he said.
Although beef production on the
range in Montana is higher than
any year, except 1914, there is a def
mite pork shortage, the speaker de-
clared, partly because of easing of
quotas last fall, now admittedly a
mistake, and shortages Of feed. Be-
cause the armed forces take meat
only from federally inspected plants,
there has been a tremendous in
crease in non-federal slaughterers,
thus diverting much meat away from
military channels, where it is
needed. i
He also stressed the Importance Of
paying no prices above ceiling, even
a penny or two, because the Amer
lean public lost a billion dollars in
such overpayments last year"

The same gardener, evidently

stories. It seems last year he
planted beans. After carefully car

he planned to can for winter use,
the crop OF 10 pounds was finally
harvested.

an effort to rid the beans OF the
beetles, they were placed In an
oven to burn them OUT. The proc

just TO make sure. Believing that
the oven treatment was successful,
the beans were canned. Later,
however, when the canned beans
were about to be put to their pri-
mary use. another discovery was
made. The beetle had only dug
deeper into the bean. and had
therein died. So ends the sad
story. After all the planting, cult

out.
