Already more than $1,000,000 worth of bonds have been sold at the booth. That amount is in addition to the 10 percent payroll authorization the unionists are making. From left to right arc S.

Ditloff, chairman of the State Federation of Labor bond committee, and Phil Brady, president of the Portland Central Labor Council and state representative. Mrs. America Meets the War Editors note: War touches every home and every citizen. This column, based on official government information and prepared by the Office of War Information, shows how the war will effect Mrs. America and her home. The "kraut barrel" once again is expected to return to favor in the grocery store. You see, none of the 1942 production of sauerkraut can be canned for civilian consumption so the wooden barrels will roll into the grocers' for bulk sales. At the same time, the supply of canned sauerkraut carried over from the 1941 pack has been frozen. So all signs point to the kraut barrel In cidentally, kraut is a low priced food rich in vitamins A, B and . C as well as valuable minerals ne cessary in building body structure. And here's a suggestion to use for menu planning. Pigs' knuckles, of ten combined with sauerkraut, are expected to be plentiful because of the huge hog slaughter. Put on the skillet and some 11 other items of cast iron kitchen ware and that will be all of this type of household equipment for the duration. The different sizes and styles of cast iron kitchenware will be reduced from some 200 to 12, and also the amount of iron for these articles has been de creased. But there will still be dutch ovens, griddles, skillets muf fin pans and pans for cornbread or corn sticks. And the glamour pro duct of the pot and pan corner enameled kitchenware also is fac ing reducfion, both as to consump tion of iron and steel and as to the variety of articles which may be made. But there will be enough for the kitchen brigade. Sorry you can't borrow Junior's war ration book for your coffee allotment unless Junior is over 15. No book on which the age of the holder is stated at 14 years or younger will be valid for the allot ment of one pound of coffee per person for each five weeks The last stamp of War Ration book No. 1 will be used for your first coffee allowance when the rationing of this commodity begins on Nov. 28. And you'll continue to get the sugar for your coffee from the book exactly as you have in the past. For love nor money there isn't a brand new vacuum cleaner avail able for civilian use in the country today. All types of new domestic vacuum cleaners have been frozen until Jan. 1. As you know, the manufacture was discontinued on April 30, and the plants now are turning out war goods. Should it be found that the stocks in the hands of manufacturers are suffi cient to meet military requirements it is expected that the supply in the hands of dealers and whole, ialers will be released The freeze order does not cover second hand cleaners The price will be right when you find nylon stockings in the stores these days, thanks to OPA. A new OPA regulation bringing down the Fpiralling charges will save your being asked to pay unreasonably high prices when stocks held for holiday trade hit the counters. The regulation sets maximum prices for stockings according to their construction, and it also includes quality standards to which the price is pegged. Prices of $2.50 to $3.00 were charged formerly for the most commonly sold full-fashioned stockings of first quality construction (48 guage or lower with nylon leg in all deniers), but the maximum charge now is $1.65. All "irregular" or "second" quality hosiery must be marked as such and marked at the prices provided for those qualities. "Soup's on" may spread the same message to your family, but you'll find that something new has b?en added to canned soups pack ed after June 30. You get more dry solid ingredients in each can than formerly For example, one kind cf chicken soup has GO per cent more solids and one vegetable soup has 26 percent more. The higher food value commands a slightly higher price so that mer chants selling under March ceil ings could afford to re-order soups cosititng more at wholesale. You can identify the new tye of can ned soup by the .words "new and improved style" or "new recipe" on label. The extravagance of taking your car from a summer home to a winter home or vice versa on a vacation trip is out for the dura tion. There is no such provision for motoring from one home to the other under gas rationing. Howev er, if you find it necessary to change your residence from one city to another, there is a special allowance to move your car too. The new Victory line of rubbers and overshoes are devoid of glam our and are made strictly for util ity wear. No fancy boots nor fur trimmed styles for the duration, and of course, there are no zipper closings. Although they will not last as long as the old type, vic tory with proper care. They'll come tory with proper care. They'll ome in black only, and the heels of new rubbers will be no higher than two inches Uncle Sam is count ing on you to make your old rub bers and galoshes last as long as possible so that you'll be using the Victory line only when necessary. The new overshoes are made with scrap rubber. You can recognize them by the use of such trade names as "Victory", "Duration" and "Conservation."

The kk-'iien chimney was knocked off and the roof pet on fire, and Thad found thinK-i pretty lively and ex ciun' fcr a spell. The fire was soon out though, thanks to the prompt and efficient work cf the local fire department, as the paper- says . . . and I never seen a man to grateful as Thad. Chief Ed Carey was sort of em oarrassed, I guess, by the thanks that was bein' heaped on him. "That's all right, Mr. Phibbs," he says. "That's all right, sir that's what you pay taxes for." blind pigs. But today It's coming right back to the treasuries of the nation, the states and the local communities ... for the benefit of everybody. Some goes, for example, to pay for the things Uncle Sam need3 to fight the war with ... for tanks and ships and bombers. Quite a lot goes for things lik public health, and education, and good roads and the like. And some of it, I surmise, has gone to support the fire company hat gave Thad such good service ihe other night. From where I sit, I'd say Chief Ed's remark seems to have a les son in it ... a lesson on the way that taxes come back in mighty real benefits to the people. Take the taxes on beer, f'rin stance more than 2Yi billion dol lars, I hear, figurin' federal, state and local, in the nine years since beer's been back. There was a time remember when a lot of that money went into the pockets of bootleggers and To moderate folks, who like a friendly glass of beer now and then, there's a sort of satisfaction in knowing that right now this bever age of moderation is furnishin' me public treasuries well over a mil lion dollars every single day. That's quite a lot of money es pecially nowadays when Uncle Sam needs every cent he can get hold of. No. 5c cf a Series Copyright, 1942, Brewing Industry Foundation
