JACOBS 941 1st Avenue, Vernonia COAL PRODUCTION, PRICES RISE The highest weekly production record in more than 16 years was established by the U. S. bituminous coal mines during the first full week of operation und er the new wage contract be tween the government and the miners, according to Harold L. Ickes, solid fuels administrator for war. Production for the week ended November 20 was estimat ed at 12,700,000 tons. Bitumin ous coal price ceilings were rais ed an average of 17 cents a net ton to compensate operators to the extent required by recent increases in labor costs. An in crease of 80 cents per net ton was made in ceiling prices for by-product foundry and by-pro- duce blast furnace coke manufac tured in the central west. A similar increase is expected to be announced shortly in maximum prices for industrial and domestic by-product coke produced in the central west.

They’ll like Nehalem Dairy milk, too. Phone us for regular delivery to your home. NEHALEM DAIRY PRODUCTS CO. Phone 471 Home canners are urged to save ail glass jars and tops suit able for re-use. They will be needed to round out new sup plies next summer, the depart ment of agriculture says. Many commercial jars—those contain ing coffee, pickles, peanut butter, and mayonnaise—are not stand ardized as to size and type of oepning, so that a jar and its metal screw top may be used for home canning by buying only a metal sealing disk with flowed- on rubber compound.

You can’t go wrong at The December rationing quota of 15,500 new passenger automo biles is 25 per cent less than the November quota and the lowest in almost two years of rationing, according to OPA. Continued quota reductions reflect OPA’s policy of spreading out as long as possible the remaining supply of new cars for essential pur poses. No new cars have been produced since early in 1942. Under a new OPA ruling dealers in selling used 1942 automobiles may charge an increase of 1 per cent a month or $15—which ever is lower—only for the per iod the automobile actually was kept in storage and maintained under specified conditions. A us er may sell his 1942 used car for no more than he paid when he bought it. FOR SALE—1 work horse, about 1450 lbs. in weight.
