LIMIT ON BUTTER BELIEVED LIKELY SEATTLE, Dec. 10 (T) Sec retary Ray Miller of the Wash ington Stale Creamery associa tion predicted today the govern ment would be forced to limit butter consumption to (lightly more than one pound a month per person half the normal amount.

"Distributor aro limiting their retail outlet to SO per cunt o( normal," ho explained. "The re tailer, in turn, generally aro re itrlcllng purchaser to not more than one pound at a time. Somo of lh big chain stores will not sell more than one-fourth of a pound at a time." Miller declared government agencies have been slow to rec ognize Impending shortages, adding:, "It's too laic to ration a pro duct when there's none left to ration. The office of price ad ministration, as usual, muffed the ball on butter." FARM LABOR, DRAFT Farm labor problems as they relate to the draft were dls cuacd at some length at a meet ing In the county agent's office Wednesday afternoon, attended by member of the county farm transportation committee, the USDA war board, and several large producer who havo been hit by labor problems.

San Francisco reported steers scarce with $13.25 quoted on medium to good animals. Owing probably to uncertain ly as to gas rationing and to un founded rumors that some live stock was not finding an outlet, cattle receipt at North Portland last week were only a third as large as at the same time last year, and sheep receipts were half those of the year before. Hog receipt, however, were but little below those of a year ago. In the midwest cattle markets turned weaker in late November after nearly six weeks of strength, owing to increased numbers at principal markets, and despite scarcity of longfcd steers there was a sharp falling off in buyer demand (or these.

The new regulation (No. 280) governs prices at the retail, wholesale and processor levels and covers, tn addition to the Items named, condensed milk, flour, cake mixes, canned citrus fruit and Juices, corn meal, hominy, poultry (except turkeys). and fresh citrus fruits (at retail only). The new regulation follows its predecessor in fixing the max imum price on these commodities at the highest level at which they were sold by each individ ual firm during the five-day period, September 28-October 2, 1B42. This ceiling Is to be replaced Yes. It's true!

The new Firestone War Tire is now on sale at all Firestone Dealers and Firestone Stores. Its construction has been tested and proved by more than two years of service. Naturally, you'd expect Firestone to build the best War Tire that can be built, because Firestone has always been a pioneer in developing new processes and creating new products made from rubber. And with its unequalled background of experience in building tires that successfully withstand the most gruelling tests of durability and safety, it is not surprising that Firestone is building a War Tire with such exclusive features ass Safti-Lock, Gam-Dipped Cord Body same construction that has made Firestone Tires so strong, to safe, so durable on the road as well as on the MS 734 by specific dollar and cent cell ing at the processor's level as soon as possible.

Specific price orders already have been Issued on onions, po tatoes, turkeys and dry beans, food item which originally were covered by the temporary, sixty day freeze. The new order provides that if any maximum price fixed by it i lower than the price set by a department of agriculture agreement or order, the depart ment's price shall automatically become the seller' maximum. Under the agricultural market ing act the department regulates the handling of milk .and milk products, fruit, vegetable and nuts. The act set minimum prices which must be paid farm ers for milk. Bales of mutton, one of the foods under the original freeze, are not covered by the perman ent order because "mutton will be covered under a special con trol to be issued shortly," OPA said. Sales of flour made from rye, buckwheat, rice, oats, corn, barley and potatoes which also were under the freeze are eliminated from' the permanent ceiling also. The sale of flour made from wheat, however, is controlled by the new regula tion.
