RATION1NO BOARD ISSUES ADDITIONAL OAS INSTRUCTIONS

All operators of passenger cars with basic “A" rations must have “mileage rationing records" to be eligible to apply for any othei gasoline rations, it was pointed out by Chairman A. B. Scheeler, of the local War Price ond Ra­tioning Board.

In the recent re-registration of the nation's 23,000,0^0 basic “A" ration holders, each registrant was Issued one of the mileage

rd forms. The form replaced ithe old tire rationing record, on Which was kept a list of all gaso­line rations Issued to the vehicle.

Without this important record •form, no motorist may be issued a “B” or “C” supplemental ration,

'OPA emphasized.Information received at the lo­

cal board office indicates that many rmtorists did not under­

stand the use of the record form and lost or destroyed theirs.

No supplemental rations or special or furlough rations for cars with basic “A" rations may he issued to an applicant who does not present his mileage ra tionlng record with his supple­mental gasoline application. In cases where • motorist was not Issued a mileage rationing record.

It was lost o r destroyed, he Immediately apply to his

local board for a duplicate.

LEAKS IN WATER MAINS LOOSING MUCH WATER

Chatsworth village authorities have discovered several bad leaks In the water mains the past few months and lately have been repairing some of them. It has been necessary to keep the pump at the well going almost constant­ly to supply enough water and the leaks have also made It nec­essary to recondition the water much oftener than before to keep It soft.

The Plalndealer has been asked to request the public to notify either some member of the vil­lage board or Street Commlslon- er, Ed Stoller, of any noticeable leak that It may be repaired.

Pontiac Has $20,000 Fire

A $20,000 blaze totally destroy­ed the Hangar dance pavilion and tavern, located on the northern edge of Pontiac, during Tuesday morning hours and at noon the ruins still smouldered and burned

It was the second big fire since Ben Ervington, AoWner of the building, built a roller skating rink there several years ago. On Dec. 18, 1939, a $12,000 fire com­pletely destroyed the rink, and the present building was con­structed the following spring.

I t was estimated by Ervington that the building Itself was worth $14,000. Insurance covered $7,- 300 of his loss, he said.

Nothing waa saved from the building. Its contents, valued at more than $8,000, were owned by William Hall and Victor Jensen, proprietors of the dance hall and tavern. I t was understood that most of their lots was covered by insurance.—Pontiac Leader.

Judging by the following news story in Sunday's Pantagraph, Walter Holloway, former Wing banker, is still "doing things.’’

A traveler will no longer have to be a passenger on a double deck bus to know when he is approach­ing Cropsey on route 165.

Geography, in the form of a ridge of ground between the town and the highway, hides the town from motorists. Farmers living on the route were often asked, "Where is Cropsey?” or "How do you get to Cropsey?”

But that’s all changed now. Re­placing the small highway signs pointing out Cropsey are two large lettered signs with the town’s rtame upon them and equipped with glass reflectors for readability at night.

The new signs were constructed and erected by W. W. Holloway, Cropsey banker. Material for the signs was furnished by the Co-op elevator and the Citizens State Bank. ,

Mr. Holloway is also lettering smaller signs which will be posted at other corners, guiding traffic to Cropsey.

About seventy fox hunters suc­ceeded in bagging two foxes on the Walsh farm, southwest of Chatsworth Sunday afternoon. They hunted over one two-mile section and one mile section in their endeavors. Foxes have been reported quite numerous this winter and have found quail, pheasants and small birds easy prey on account of the weakened condition of the birds. Farmers are being asked to scatter grain along hedges or other sheltered places to save the birds from starvation and better enable them to escape from the wily foxes,

(From Pontiac Leader)On Jan. 1, there were fewer In­

mates at Pontiac prison than at the beginning of any year for the past 20 years, it was said today by Warden Arthur A. Bennett.

On Jan. 1, 1945, there were 1,- 230 prisoners at the institution, the smallest Jan. 1 population since 1925, when 1,105 were held there.

Prison population figures for the first of each year released by the warden showed a steady in­crease during the “prohibition- gangster” era following 1925, un­til a peak of 2,902 was reached in 1933. A gradual downward trend then began until the population stood at 1,983 on Jan. 1, 1943. In July of the latter year, the parole of prisoners for armed service was begun, with a consequent drop of 753 in the prison popula­tion between Jan. 1, 1943, and Jan. 1. 1945.Most Held for Larceny

More men are held at the pris­on for larceny than for any other crime, with 208 as the total at the start of this year, the warden said. Classification of those serving time on the first of the year showed:

Murder, 73; manslaughter, 28; sex crimes, 74; assault to murder and assault to kill, 29; arsom 2; armed robbery, 205; plain robbery 116; burglary and larency, 89; plain burglary, 196; larceny, 208; forgery, 32; receiving stolen property, 4; receiving stolen auto, 2; escapers from state penal farm, 3; confidence game, 1£; larceny from person, 3; attempted burg­lary, 6; aiding in the escape of a convicted person, 1; injury to railroad, 1; bribery, 1; embezzle­ment, 2; larceny of auto, 102; habitual criminal, 16.

During its 73-year history, the institution has had three classifi­cations. As a reform school, the first prisoner was received June 23, 1871; as a reformatory, the first prisoner was received Jan. 8, 1893; as a penitentiary, the first prisoner was received July 1 1933.

Chatsworth High’s basket ball squad took their final warm-up before the V. V. Tourney by ab­sorbing a 55 to 30 trimming at Saunemin last FYiday night. The reserves also lost 25 to 17.

The Blue Birds showed excel­lent form at Saunemin but could- not hit the basket. The score be­came one-sided in the final quar­ter when the Chatsworth sub­stitutes couldn’t handle the hot- shot Saunemin regulars who pour­ed in 20 points in the final quar­ter. The quarter scores were: 7-8, 12-19, 21-35, and 30-55. So- right with 11 points and Living­ston with 8 points led the Chats­worth scoring.

Springfield, 111.—Taxes to sup port activities of the county gov­ernment were higher this year than last year in nine of the fourteen Illinois counties having a popula­tion between 30,000 and 40,000, ac­cording to a survey released today by the Taxpayers’ Federation of Illinois.

The counties with increases as shown by the table are Livingston, Coles, Jackson, Morgan, Lee, Montgomery, Jefferson, Randolph and Iroquois, The other five coun­ties in this population group— Christian, Saline, Bureau, Mc­Henry and DeKalb—each record­ed decreases.

Listed in order of 1943 county taxes (payable this year), exclud­ing pauper relief, from highest to lowest are Livingston, Iroqut, ;, McHenry, Montgomery, Lee, Chris­tian, Morgan, DeKalb, Coles, Bu­reau, Jackson, Salir.e, Jeffer :i and Randolph.

Ten of the fourteen countii ? ip this population group, how*.... , had tax rate reductions, one (Mor gan) remained the same, while Iro­quois, Lee and Livingston raised their tax rates. The largest tax rate decreases were in Bureau and Sa­line counties, Bureau recording a 13c decrease and Saline a 10c de­crease. The largest tax rate in­crease was in Iroquois where a 9c increase was registered.

Iroquois County recorded the largest increase in tax revenue, its 1943 tax increase (largely in the corporate fund) being $47,824, the third largest increase in the en­tire downstate area. Iroquois made its position worse moving from eighth highest in taxes in the pop­ulation group to second highest, despite the fact that it is the small­est in population in the group. L«e County also moved from tenth place to fifth place with a tax in­crease of $18,371. Bureau’s tax de­crease of $28J297 was the largest in the group and moved Bureau from second highest in taxes in the group in 1942 to tenth highest in 1943.

Most of the counties in the pop­ulation group enjoyed substantial increases in valuation in 1943, this accounting in many cases for the increased revenue.

The survey by the Federation, a state-wide, non-profit and non­partisan organization for tax con­trol with headquarters at Spring- field, showed that taxes for county purposes increased in 68 and de­creased in 33 of the 101 down- atate counties this year. Valua­

tion increases occurred in 98 down- state counties but tax rates de­creased in 70 and remained the same in 16 counties.

The total downstate tax burden for comity government in 1943 is $15,149,527, an increase of $518,710 over the preceding year. Down- state assessed valuations rose from $2,937,582,950 to $3,185,093,510— an increase of $247,510,560.

The Federation survey states: “The county tax picture as shown by this year’s survey is strikingly unusual in that even though there is an overall increase in down-state county taxes the average taxpayer in a large .lajority of the down- state counties will probably end up with the county’s share of his local tax bill being lower than for the previous year. Th's is due pri­marily to a substantial increase in total assessed valuations through­out the state, coupled with a gen-

1 decrease in tax rates per each vl' 0 of assessed valuation.”

t-ince there is no central report- i”:' of county statistics in Illinois, the Federation secured informa­tion for the survey from county off cials and from the Illinois State Department of Revenue. A similar survey has been made by the Federation for the past two years. Its unusual feature is the inclusion of comparisons for one year with another and comparisons of counties of similar population.

In commenting upon the county, tax picture, the Federation survey says: “That the average taxpayer in a majority of the counties may have obtained a small reduction in county taxes does not mean, how- over, that the overall increase is justified. Federation studies indi­cate quite clearly that most coun­ties can operate with less revenue, rather than more, without impair-

FROM CONGRESSMANL C. ”LES“ ARENDS

I n fo rm atlon—PleaseTime and time again Members

of Congress are asked very di­rect questions concerning the Nation’s war effort and of the progress being made. The War and Navy departments, under the guidance of the Cbmmander-in Chief, are responsible for the prosecution of the war. Congress passes legislation to provide ways and means and makes available the necessary funds to implement all war effort. War policy and strategy is the business of the armed force. Therefore, a Mem­ber of Congress oftimes is unable to answer the direct questions of

j his constituents. Occasionally, in ( executive session, Members do learn about different phases of the war. It is now planned that

! at a soon to be held “off the ' record” meeting, representatives of both Army and Navy will meet

| with Congress to give up-to-date , reports of what is going on. This ■ is a good thing, and though the Individual member will be unable to talk about It to his constituents

j he will find himself in a better position to understand the prob­lems facing our military forces

I and accordingly be able to more ! effectively legislate when called upon to do so.

bill before the Committee would, If passed, either force all 4-F*b into essential industry or they would be put in the armed forces, regardless of the fact that be­cause of their physical unfitness they would be absolutely no value to either the Army or Navy and they don’t want them. If the In­dividual does not go into produc­tion war work and is drafted in­to the armed foices, he will be penalized through not being able to obtain any benefits and privil­eges granted the man who was voluntarily inducted. Because of the tum of events oft European war fronts, we now face a short­age of materials and implements of war. The rosy picture of the war effort which we enjoyed in the fall of 1944, Is now out and we face the naked fact that today we are in critical need of stepped- up war production and essential manpower. This rosy picture was painted due to cut-backs in pro­duction ordered by the Army and Navy and such cut-backs were very definitely not the fault of Congress who has, 6ince the be­ginning of the war, granted the Ajmy and Navy their every re­quest. Great turnover, quitting and shifting of jobs and absentee­ism of workers still plague indus­try, absenteeism running at ap­proximately 8 percent. Some of the questions being asked are: 1. Can you force individuals to work? 2.- Can you get as much production from forced as from free labor? 3. Should penalties be inflicted on 4-F’s (as a class) who unfortunately are not up to par withj>ther workers? 4. Would it not be better to pass a National Service Law covering all people instead of only the one category?

BEGIN CANVASS OF LANDOWNERS FOR LIVINGSTON SOIL MSTRICT

Facts Regarding Soil Conservation Districts Are Listed

Workers from each of the thir­ty townships of Livingston County met Wednesday, January 17, to obtain the petitions and instruc­tions on circulating the petitions among landowners, requesting the organisation of the proposed Liv­ingston County soil conservation district.

The following is a series of questions and answers related to the organization and operation of a soil conservation district:

W hat Is a soil conservation d is­t r ic t? It is a legal body organiz­ed under the laws of the State of Illinois for the purpose of bring­ing specialized assistance to farm­ers within the district on such problems as soil fertility, drain­age, floods and soil erosion.

How to It organised? By more then 55% of all the persons own­ing land within the proposed area signing a petition asking for a dis­trict to be organized . . . a ptdilic hearing is then held . . . if no valid objections are presented, a char­ter is Issued by the state . . . di­rectors are elected . . . and the district is complete.

How la rg e an a re a dots th e p ro ­posed d is tr ic t Include, All of Liv­ingston County except Incorpor­ated and unincorporated villages and towns and all cemeteries.

WUI th e o rgan isa tion of th e d is­tr ic t raise local o r s ta te ta x e s?No! The board of directors arc prevented by law from levying taxes, making assessments, or is­suing bonds.

How w ill landow ners be tacted? Volunteer workers willcontact landownora during the lat­ter part of January to explain the program further and ask them to sign the petition.

If the district cannot raise nv>- ley, how to the work f in a n c e d ?[he board of directors of the dia- rict request the Soil Conservation lervlce of the federal government o furnish technicians to- assist armers with their soil problem*, these technicians are paid from ederal funds, therefore local or tate taxes are not necessary. . . . it the present time Livingston bounty farmers who pay Income axes, help support the Soil Con­ervation Service and do not re­el ve any benefits because the loll Conservation Technicians annot work in any area which Is tot within a Soil Conservation District.

How will th e d is tr ic t o p e ra te?After the district Is organized, he landowner or his tenant, or toth, may request assistance with my soil problems that may be rresent on his farm. The em- iloyees of the Soil Conservation lervlce will go over the farm and uggest what should be done to olve the problem.

I f a d is tr ic t to organised,' will 1 » v e to follow th e p rac tices rec- w nea ded by th e Sod Coa s t s va- lon Service em ployees? D efln- tely no!!! Cooperation with the Ustrict program Is entirely volun- ary. A district should not be irganized until enough farmers re ready to use its services . . his time has arrived in Living- ton County.

Edward Lyons, Odell, was nom­inated and later elected as Ftanm Bureau director for the Esmen unit to succeed Mr. N. O. Braden, who left the directorship vacant when he was elected as vice-presi­dent of the Livingston County Farm Bureau at the annual meet­ing December 20.

Farm Bureau members from the Esmen unit, m et Saturday, January 6, in the Farm Bureau office to make thq nomination.

According to the by-laws of the Livingston County'Farm Bureau, the board of directors may elect a director from any unit In which a vacancy occurs. The Farm Bu­reau Board requested Farm Bu­reau members of the Esmen unit to meet In caucus to nominate a successor to Mr. Braden. Their choice was reported to the Fhrm Bureau board which officially elected Mr. Lyons as director.

A district will not increase state or local taxes.

Every farm In Livingston Coun­ty has one or more of the follow­ing problems . . _ soil fertility maintenance . . . drainage . . . flood control . . . soil erosion.

The use of the services of the district are voluntary on the part of the owner or operator.

A soil conservation district will provide, without cost to the own­er or operator, technical assist­ance on these problems.

Many I-lvingston County farm­ers want and need this service, but cannot obtain It unless a dis­trict is organized.

55% of all the owners of land must sign a petition requesting the district before a district can be organized.

Districts are now organized in many counties in Illinois includ­ing McLean. Woodford, Ford, La Salle, all of which adjoin Living- Aon County.

intentions Indicate a induction of seven per cent from 1944 In the number of sows farrowing spring pigs in 1945, both in Illinois and in the United States. Decreases have been greatest outside the corn belt; Iowa and Minnesota report increases of one and four per cent respectively.

These production intentions fall short of the 1945 production goals, which call for a three per cent de­crease In the 1945 spring pig crop in Illinois and a two per cent in­crease in the United States. The number of pigs saved by Illinois farmers in 1944 was only 78 per cent of the number in 1943, with the spring pig crop 82 per cent and the fall pig crop 72 per cent. For the United States 1944 to­tals were the following percentag­es of 1943: spring. 75; fall, 66; year 71.

Good and choice 200 to 220-pound bar- rows and gilts sold at ceiling pric­es for the weeks ending August 5 through October 28, but during Ml of the first 26 weeks in 1944, they sold only at support levels, and then only if they were of the proper weight.

Hog prices should average higher than the first six months of 1945 than in 1944 because of a smaller supply to be marketed and the urgent need for pork. The recent removal of weight limitations In price ceilings on barrows and gilts will permit more flexibility in marketings and should Increase farmers’ net returns. The hog-corn ratio should average higher than in the first six months of 1945; but lit­tle change from 1944 can be an­ticipated next fall unless hog ceil­ings are raised or com sells be­low ceiling prices.

Illinois farm advisers are re­porting the successful use of phe­nothlazine in protecting lambs from injury by stomach worms and nodular worms, according to E. T. Robbins, professor of ani­mal husbandry, University of Il­linois, College of Agriculture.

Robbins pointed to Henderson County, where Farm Adviser A. J. Rahllng has given several dem­onstrations to local farmers with the quick one-shot method of drenching. As a result of the demonstration, many farm flocks have received treatment. Mr. Rahllng reported that the recom­mended treatment of the ewe flock in early winter and early spring of last year, combined with the feeding phenothlazine and salt in portions of 1:10 dur­ing the summer, made a great improvement in the health of lambs in Henderson county.

Robbins said that early reports from other farm advisers show that some farmers feed phenothl­azine mixed with ground feed to ewes. Varying results with this method suggest that drenching may be the better method. Some unsatisfactory results are report­ed in giving phenothlazine to pigs, Robbins said.

Will Leave Morgan County to Assume Duties Here In March

The employment of W. F. Coo- lidge of Jacksonville, Illinois, as farm adviser in Livingston Coun­ty to succeed R. C. Smith, who re­signed as farm adviser in Living­ston County, effective March 1 was announced this week by Guy K. Gee, president of the Living­ston County Farm Bureau.

W. F. CoolidgeTo the farmers of Livingston

County: ”'As your new farm ad­viser, I am looking forward with a great deal of pleasure in meet­ing all of you and of working with you. I feel very sure that I am going to enjoy my work in Liv­ingston County and I am very an­xious to get acquainted with all of you just as soon as possible. As farm adviser, I realize that we will have many problems con­fronting us during this war and the period following the war that we must solve ourselves. A pro­gram of maximum production al­ways brings about difficult situa­tions and we must meet them squarely, working together shoul­der to shoulder.

"I will be with you just as soon as I can close up my work in Mor­gan County and I feel that we have as a starter the excellent tvork that has been done by my predecessor, Bob Smith, and I am sure that he will give us much help.

The tall, blue-eyed lad grinned a wry apology and said, " I want to see K ath leen ."

Defrosting Adds to Efficiency o f RefrigeratorDon't put defrosting the refrigera­

tor off too long. Do it before the .frost on the evaporator becomes e quarter of an Inch thick. Thick frost makes freezing take longer . . . slows down the cooling of foods . . . sends the temperature up.

When defrosting, be sure the drip tray is empty and in place to catch the melting frost. Remove freezer trays, especially if there are ice cubes in them—this hastens defrost­ing.

N ever use anything sharp to chip frost from the evaporator or to loosen cube trays. T here is danger of scratching the finish and puncturing the coils tha t hold the freezing fluid.

If the m anufacturer recommends it. defrosting can be speeded up by removing the cube trays, filling them with hot but not boiling water, and retu rn them to their shelves. With the control se t a t “off” or "de­frost,” the frost wiU m elt quickly. The job is finished in a short time and the re frig era to r can be back in use.

gone by the time she finished clean- ng up. She thought of how Kathleen

had looked the night before, her■ bin high, her cheeks flaming, red ;»s her hair. Bridget shook her tu od. 'Tis pride made her look like th a t , she thought, the kind that nkes a long time to s im m er out.

She trudged wearily home, and laboriously wrote a letter. She told Terry about two other foolish people who had been too proud, and what happened to them. "I heard vuu once tell my Kathleen that her eyes were the loveliest in the world,” she wrote. " I 'm beggin’■ ou. write and tell her you love her before she cries them out of her pretty head.”

Then she sat back to aw ait re ­sults. But F riday 's hours crept along, and there was no le tte r from Terry. Sadly she went through the motions of scrubbing the back porch, dum ped the suds over the railing and was s ta rtin g on the kitchen floor when a pair of muddy shoes landed squarely In the door­way.

”1 came as soon as I could,” Terry said. "Where is she?”

Bridget Jerked her thumb. "In there.” . Then she sat back on her heels and listened brazenly to Kath­leen's shriek of Joy.

Bridget sniffed, lugged her bucket outside and got down on her. knees. Tears were in her eyes. "Bless the lad. It isn’t a scoldin' he'll be needin' now,” she declared fervent­ly. "It's prayin'.”

Helps DisinfectWhile ordinary whitewashing of

farm structures helps keep them at­tractive and clean, addition of a small amount of formaldehyde to the whitewash solution a r res ts de­cay, kills disease germs, controls of­fensive odors and molds, and gen­erally promotes sanitation, thereby safeguarding the health of human beings and livestock. Formaldehyde alone, in dulute form, is an effec­tive disinfectant, fungicide, germ i­cide, and deodorant, both inside and outside the home. Where formalde­hyde is normally scrubbed or sprayed on stables, pig pens, chick­en coops, poultry runs, pigeon lofts, dog kennels, and other outhouses, and where these structures a re fre­quently whitewashed, one o(>eration can be eliminated by adding the formaldehyde to the whitewash so­lution. A 14-quart pail of whitewash can be formulated as follows: 7 pounds slacked lime. 6 ounces glue, 6 ounces formaldehyde, and 2 ‘ i gal­lons of water.

The Vermilion VaUey Tourna­ment got under way Tuesday night at Piper City, with Onarga. Herscher and Cullom winning over Piper City, Kempton and Forrest respectively.

Kempton held a tie, 17-17, with Herscher in the first tilt but fell below the water line in the final half. Onarga was trailing 19-28 at the half-time of the second game and triumphed after a rally.

Cullom had little trouble in downing Forrest. Cullom had chalked up a 17-8 margin a t half­time and continued to warm the nets for the final victory.

The winners play in the semi­finals Thursday evening with the finals being decided Friday night. In the consolation bracket the losers of the first round of games will continue playing.

Chatsworth, Piper City and Omrga fell by the wayside last

| night in the second evening’s con­test in the V. V. tournament. Chatsworth was an easy victim for Saunemin although they led 14-13 at the half but could not hold the line against a more pow­erful team. Kempton had a half time margin of 13-9 at the hell

\ and held the lead to the end with j a 39-23 triumph over the host i team.i Onarga leaped into 24-30 half­time edge only to be laid down

| in the final periods as Herscher i flew through for a 47-23 triumph.; The Piper City-Kempton game \ was the first of the consolation games, both teams having lost their games on Tuesday evening.

Tonight there will be one semi- i final round between Cullom and Saunemin. and one consolation

j game between Fbrrest and Chats­worth.

Friday night will end the con­ference with the consolation and championship games. At this time Herscher will play the winner of the Cullom-Saunemin game for the championship and Piper City plays the losers of Forrest Chatsworth game for consolation.

Soli FertilityIn the rich farm ing area that

| s ta rts in New York and Pennsyl- I vania and runs west through Iowa

and the easte rn fringes of the plains country, fertility has declined con-

I siderably. Studies in Ohio show that ; lands cropped from 50 to 75 years I have lost 35 per cent of the ir origi- ! rial fertility. Sixty years of cropping I has taken aw ay a third of the fer- | tility of farm lands in M issouri. In

Kansas, 30 years of cropping has j cost 25 per cent.

In the five sta tes of Illinois, Mis­souri, Iowa, M innesota and Wiscon­sin, farm ers have about doubled their use of com m ercial fertilizer in the last decade and increased their use of lim e sevenfold.

A good crop rotation stands as the first means of halting soil-stealing, it is said, and a strong legume is of great importance. Applications of lime are often required to overc6me deficiencies that interfere with grow­ing legumes.

Serving H ot Lunches a t School S tarted Thursday

(Piper City Journal)Serving hot lunches at the noon

hour for school pupils started on Thursday of last week and most of the pupils, both from the rural districts and town, are taking ad­vantage of the plan.

The project was sponsored by the three Home Bureau Units of the community and they have su­pervised until it is now on a sat­isfactory working plan. There are of course various details to be worked out. and a new stove is to be installed, which will simplify the cooking of the large quantities of food required. The plan will continue under the supervision of the Parent-Teacher Association.

Pupils are permitted to buy a ticket for five noon day lunches for $1.00. This is made possible by a federal allowance of nine cents per pupil and a two and one-half cent state allowance for milk per pupil. The meals are served cafeteria style from the kitchen and the stage serves as a dining room. The lunches are served in two shifts, the three lower rooms being served first, then the 7th and 8th grades and high school students. The num­ber of pupils served averages around 140 each day. Mrs. Ben Thompson and Mrs. John Koehn are in charge of the lunches, as­sisted by Mrs. Reynard Hayslette and two mothers or others Inter­ested have been on hand each day to assist.

The two menus following will give the public an idea of what is being served:

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH—I re­ceive letters every day from written who are bewildered to know just how to be sure of selecting "good

?uality” when choosing upholstered urniture — so much depends on "what's inside *' that cannot be

seen As a guide to my readers I would suggest four simple rules.

One. Look long and carefully for the style and design that really fit in with the other things in your room, giving attention to size and scale best suited for members of your family who will most fre­quently use the chair or sofa you are buying.

Two. Choose the fabric just as thoughtfully as you would for a suit or coat, considering color, pat­tern, and material, considering, too, problems of wear and keeping clean. And look carefully to those details of tailoring and visible workmanship. They are "tip offs" of inside quality.

Three. Just as in anything else, don’t expect something for nothing. Beware of "bargain prices." Rely <fn a store with a reputation for selling nice things.

Four. Above all else, look for the label or trade mark bf a reliable maker. Among all furniture, up­holstered pieces are among the most difficult for even an expert to tell good quality from poor. So much

ids on the inside, udepend unseen con­struction. And yet It is almost en. tirely on “what’s inside" that your

fo ...............what a inside'

comfort, your wearability, satisfac­tion, and value depend. It is best to place your confidence in an ex­ert, just as you must do when vying a diamond. Such experts

are makers who back their reputa­tion by t r a d e marking their product

such as brass and woodwind. There will be a total of twenty- four in the orchestra and six­teen of these are violins. This will give the students who do not play in the regular orchestra a chance to show their skill.

There is a new student in the clarinet class. He is John Kars- ten, who started in Chatsworth grade school about two months ago.

FARM SLA U G H TERED M EATThe sale of farm slaughtered

meat is subject to the provisions of wartime rationing which affect meat obtained from any other le­gitimate source. However, farm­ers who raise animals for their own consumption are not required to give up points for meat for these animals if home or custom slaughtered. Farm families may also borrow and lend meat to each other without exchanging points. But when rationed cuts of home or custom slaughtered meat are sold or given away, red points must be collected by the farmer and turned in to the local War

Price and Rationing Board.All farmers who sell rationed

meat may get from their War Price and Rationing Board the new official table of point values. The smaller cuts are is ted on the consumer table. Large cuts or carcasses—such as a quarter of beef, a half of hog, or a whole carcass—are listed on the trade point table. Both tables are printed on the same sheet. Fam­ilies buying meat from a farmer may use as many as 18 Red Stamps from each book in ad­vance of the general validation dates. This gives the consumer 180 extra points per book for buy­

ing farm meat in large quantitiesto store for future use.

GOOD PLACE TO ADVERTISEFarm sale advertising inserted

in The Plain dealer will reach more readers in the farm homes of Livingston and adjoining coun­ties than any other single news­paper, owing to the large circula­tion of the paper.

The paper goes into every Farm and Home Bureau member's home in Livingston county and many others. The rates are also cheaper than any other newspa­per with anything near the same circulation.

One of these days—when peace comes—you’ll be buying nylons and automobiles again.

And you’ll get them—thanks to a lump o f coal. Because coal brings you many things besides heat for your home.

Coal also makes nylons. Its “aromatic mole-1 cule” produces perfumes. Its coal-tars create brilliant dyes. I t helps make iron and steel for automobiles, bridges and children’s toys.

Coal makes pay envelopes fatter, too. I t pro­duces 70 per cent of the industrial power that helps workers produce more and earn more.

On the Illinois C entral, nearly every third ton of freight is coal. I t ’s a service

you don’t have to think about because it’s always there, working for you,

day and night.

Moving coal is one of many services the American people rely on railroads to perform.Railroads provide the low cost delivery service vital to American mass production.

After Victory, the Illinois Central looks forward to providing finer transportation service, thanks to new materials, improved methods and knowledge gained in wartime operations.

With the Men In Service --R ossell K lrkham Prom oted

Great Lakes, 111., January 15— Dear Friends—While the rest are sort of busy calling five hundred- fifty men on draft for tomorrow. I’ll take a little time to write a few lines. The Plaindealer was here when I got to work this morning and it reminded me thatI had never told you that I was advanced to Seaman first class the first of January. About the only difference it makes is that I now draw twelve more dollars a month. I suspect that I do have a little more authority than a seaman second, but in here that doesn’t mean much.

Whenever our subscription to the Plaindealer expires, be sure to let us know so that we may renew it. There certainly has been a lot of newB In It the last few weeks. A1 Saathoffs accident was shocking to hear about.

We are planning on coming home this week-end unless I get stuck with a watch to stand, so we might see you. In the mean time, take It easy.
