WALKER'S Jervelry Store Enough to Now, for the first time in years, both, farmers and manufacturers can work for the biggest possible yield without thinking about the market. This year they can sell all they can produce. As things look now, this condition is due to keep up for some time, but we can't count on its lasting forever. Certainly nobody Wants a prosperity bails on war! So It's high time that everybody concerned?and thtf it pte some thought to keeping things running after the war. y You're busy, we know. So are we.

Big Drop in Lamb At the time these plans were announced, however, the WFA's allocation of meat supplies during the I next 12 months were made public, showing a decrase in civilian quotas | of about .4 billion pounds under 1942 , and about l'a billion under the 1945 i to 1939 average. Biggest cut for civilians is to come n iamb and mutton. WFA indicated. Compared with 939 million pounds available in 1942, only 539 million or almost half as much, will be purchasable during the next 12 months. The 1935-'3!t average consumption was 863 million pounds. Allocation of beef for civilians have been cut from the 7.903,000.00(1 I pounds in 1942 to 5,937,500,008 mounds. The avpraeff wac nr. iound 7 billion pounds. Out of the total production in the next II months, civilians will receive 66 out of every 100 pounds; the army and navy will get 23 out of every 10C . ! pounds., and lend-lease, etc., will be - [awarded 2 out of 100 pounds. " I It was recently pointed out that I the American soldier consumes twice as much beef in the army as he did in civilian life. Thus, in effect, the nation is feeding that many more pec,pie than it does normally, it was said. Pork Quota Cut Civilian pork supplies are due lot a tumble too, although the allocation of 7,310,900.000 pounds is about 25 million pounds above the 1935-30 overage. However, the allotment is below the 1942 figure of7,740,009,000 pounds. Out of the total production of pork, the civiilian share has been set at 59 out of every 100 pounds produced. Lend-lease has been given less than half the amount and the services will receive the rest. All told, civilians will receive ab-,out 63 per cent of the total meat bkfc\ raawi el ihm&^bk Go Around tion to the problems of the future, too. We feel that the people who have the producing job to do can contribute a lot to the solution of chose problems. And we hope that you, too, busy as you are with growing more food than this country's ever produced, will be turning these problems over in your mind. For if America's farmers and manufac turers, working together, can't find a way to keep the rich etc country on earth producing enough for everybody, and let the producers make a living in the proceti?if they can't, why then, who can?

(The services will obtain 17 per cent, the Allies 14 per cent and the re'mainocr will be divided between exports and reserve requirements. Announcement of this meat distribution came as farmers were being asked to market hogs at lighter weights to relieve the corn pinch and cattle raisers were warned that the heavy runs of grassed stock to the siaughler yards instead of the feed lots would threaten beef production in the future. The government now is maintain ir.g a suport price of S13.75 for prime 240 to 270 pound porkers, with heavier weights hovering around the $13.50 mark. With the year's total pig nopulation over 100 million, it is fell that liquidation at lighter weight, will not only help spread feed sup- j plies but also provide adequate | jmeat stocks. Various livestock associations have 'contended that government regulations were hampering the production of fattened stock, which always makes its market appearance after grass fed herds have been slaughtered. According to these organizations, I price regulations make fattening uni profitable, with the result that animals laker, off the range are ship. ped straight to puckers, instead of - being kept for prime fattening. The livestock interests have been urging j the government to adopt the indusi try's plan, as fashioned by the war , meat board, for orderly marketing in compliance with demand, with full emphasis on production. Allocate Canned Goods As a result of WFA allocations, , civilians will receive 70 per cent of , the nation's prospective supply of , canned vegetables and soups and 53 per cent of the canned fruits and juices during the next 12 months. Roughly, domestic consumers will be awarded about 130 million cases of vegetables and soups and about i 30 million cases of fruits and juices. These supplies are expected to be augmented by substantial stocks of home preserved products. Under the present rationing program, canned fruits and vegetables will have higher point values in the summer than in winter, to encourage maximum consumption of fresh products. According to an estimate of the department of sm-ioiiltm-o keting of truck produce will be down 10 per cent under last year.

Urging political and ecenomic equality for negroes the 1940 Republican presidential candidate asserted that the two most pressing negro problems were inadequate housing and lack of political status. "Our two major political parties have their separate ways of approaching the negro vote. One has a ten* ?i- >? - v\j usiv me negro ior nis vote as recompense for an act of simple justic done eighty years ago. The other retains political power, by, in effect, depriving the negro of his right to vote in one part of the country, v/hile seeking his vote in another on the plea of great friendship for his race. Both attitudes must be changed." He added: "Our whole purpose today is with our allies, to defeat Fascism. But all the forces of Fascism are not with our enemies. "Fascism is an attitude of mind, an attitude which causes men to seek to rule others by economic, military or political force, or through prejudice. Such an attitude within our own borders is as serious a threat to freedom as is the attacks without. It is essential that we eliminate it at home as well as abroad." TO WORK CEMETERY Mr. J. T.

Downfall of Buce Hailed In Russii From ."round the world Tuosda came speculation and assertion th: the exit of Benito Mussolini as th premier of Italy had spelled out th prelude of a sepai ate peace for Gel many's Axis partner In capital after capita! the ren tion. though frequently only semio ficial, was the same. It was that tottering Italy had moved one ste nearer to an exit from the war, wht ther through early armist'ce or ea: itr caDituIation to marching allie armies. In London there was quick uno ficiai speculation that, since Ital had moved toward fulfillment of th Allies' initial condition of surrer der, the British and American gov ernjnents might scon present term for honorable capitulation to Kin Vittorio Emanuele and Marshal Pi< tro Badoglio. At the same time, however there was evidence of on atti tude not to relax and wait for Ital; to quit, but rather to pour it on fc a smasn unisn. In Washington: Despie initial ol ficial silence, there was wide speci lation that in choosing Marshal Bad oglic to head the military govern ment. the king had more than nod ded at the Roosevelt Churchill invi tation to the Italian people to ri< Ihemselves of their Fascist govern ment. Since Eadcgolio is a Royalis and anti-Fascist, it was regarded i many quarters that his appointmen might well be followed by dissolu lion of the Fascist party and a bi for a separate peace. In Moscow; The Russian peopl were electrified by the news of Mui solini's downfall. The immediate re action, as heard in homes and o streetcars and subways, was tha Germany had suffered a severe blot Some said they felt this might mea that Italy would drop out of the wa in a few weeks, and that even i she carried on, her resistance wou! be only half-hearted.
