During 2h years at Zentsuji, he

From a Nip newspaper, the latter
read a statement that the United
States was using "a cruel and in
humane weapon" while the officer
stood by with partly drawn sword.
By grapevine and from smuggled
newspapers, the prisoners had some
intimation of American advances.
The Jap explanation was that the
enemy was being drawn closer to
the homeland for purposes of ami
hilation.

Jap Mentality Still Puzzle to

Coupled with the plain neglect,
starvation diet and brutality that

says. The Japs might be ordered
to look for cigaretS. They'd look for
nothing else. They might find salt,
food or other ~icontraband' in the
search. They'd pay no attention to
it-just cigarets."
And Red Cross packages-he and
others got a few, but the Jap soldiers

Housewives Urged
to Continue
Saving All Fats

BOHEMIAN DiScontinuance of
food rationing does not mean that
homemakers can slack up on the
salvage of waste fats from their
kitchens. say Montana agricultural
extension service workers.
In fact, they point out, the de-
mand for waste fats is as heavy as
1t has ever been and will continue
so for some time, at least until this
country again receives more normal
supplies of fats and oils from over
seas.
While red points will no longer
be given housewives in return for
waste fats, the four cent a pound
payment will still be made, the ex-
tension workers said.
Salvage fats are urgently needed
now for the manufacture Of indus
trial products that are used in
everyday life. Americans, for ex-
ample, use 10 million pounds of soap
a day, or some three and a half bill
lion pounds a year. Fats and oils
are the principle ingredients of
soap. The new synthetic rubber in
also uses a million pounds
of soap a year.

formation to help him decide where
that best market may be. Radio networks and
nearby stations report daily on receipts and
prices at central and local markets. Commission
houses and their field men are ready to give per-
sonal advice on the best time and place to sell.
Newspapers publish detailed descriptions of
market conditions. Various timely reports are
available from the u. S. d. A. and other impair
tial sources on trends and developments in the
Ivestock-and-meat industry.
In making their bids, livestock buyers also use
current market information. Acceptance of any
price offered is entirely up to the producer or his
sales agent. Meat packing plants and their buy
ers are located at so many widespread points
that if a producer is not satisfied with prices
offered by any one buyer, he has a choice of sew
eral others to which he may sell his animals.
Moreover, with $500 meat packing plants
and &c, 900 other concerns and individuals who
slaughter livestock commercially, there is bound
to be keen competitive bidding for your live
stock. Barring meat rationing and price cell
ings, livestock prices are governed by what the
packer can get for the meat and by-products.
