veterans want to rent quarters or
build new homes by June, 1M7.
Two-thirds prefer to buy or build
and 1,700,000 report ability to pay
*,00<i or less.
COFFEE
Improved coffee shipments
have enabled the Department of
Agriculture to remove restrictions
on inventories.
DEFERRED
Selective Service says 160,000
registrants from 19 to 29 have
been deferred under the provi
sions regarding farm work and
that they can retain their status
even if they quit farm jobs to at
tend school.
AVIATION
The U. S. and Great Britain j
will follow the principle of free-!
dom of competition in future avi
ation agreements with other coun
tries. "ITiis may mean that the re
cent British agreement with Ar
gentina, which contains restric
tions on competition, may be re
negotiated.
TO STAY
The world is about convinced
that the United States is in Eu
rope to stay, that no concessions i
will be given to Soviet Russia,
and that Jhe Soviets will be ex
jpected to carry out Yalta and
[Potsdam agreements.
MILITARY COSTS
There is little prospect lor dis
armament on the scale that fol
lowed World War 1 and the mili
tary costs of the U S. are esti
mated around >8,000,000,000 per
annum.
ELECTION
Political prognostics tors as
sume that the Democrats will suf
fer serious losses in the House and
that the Republicans have an ex
cellent opportunity to gain con
trol of the lower House. The Sen
ate will probably remain Demo
cratic. with reduced majority, ac
cording to the dopesters.
WALLACE
The idea that former. Secretary
Wallace may use the naxt two
years to build up his own fol
lowing in an attempt to take the
lead of the liberals is everywhere.
Republicans are glad to sec signs
of a split.
RECESSION
The recent stock market reses
sion is taken as the first sign
that the present boom is not to
be permanent and that other
E rices will soon recede. Even the
uyer, it is believed will gain ad
vantages in certain lines.
HOUSE RACE
The House races boil down to
this: The Democrats have 126
seats in the Solid South and 75
others in the industrial areas may
be safe if the labor vote sticks to

and mixed rural and urban areas
are the places for the real battle.
Incidentally, the G. O. P. has
about forty seats where the Dem
ocrats think they have a chance
to oust the incumbents.
fixed Incomes
How fixed incomes are affect
ed by developments beyond con
trol of the individuals enjoying
them is shown when we reflect
that one with a $3,000 income in
1939 can now buy about $1,885
worth at 1946 prices. Taxes re
duce the income to $2,673 and
higher prices make the other re
duction.
PDODUCTION
A production peak is expected
in 1947, with necessary price ad
justments certain to have a re
stricting effect upon output.
STRIKE
Statistics reveal that in the
eleven years before the Wagner
Act passed there were 11,830
strikes, and in the eleven years
after it was passed there were
38,521. This is not all of the pic
ture. In some of the years, be
fore June 30, 1945, economic con
ditions created great unemploy
ment and it was useless for labor
to think of a strike.
C. I. O. MURRAY
There is a rumor that C. I. O.
President Philip Murray is con

MID-'47
Mid-'47 may be the time when
a customer can go into a store
and expect to buy what he wants.
There are exceptions, however,
to this general statement.

Rototiller is Graham-Paige's scientific tillage
machine. Instead of turning over the Soil in huge
furrows which must still be broken down by time
consuming labor, it forms a perfect seed bed in one
simple operation. Its swiftly rotating tines produce
a finer, richer seed bed than plow, disc and harrow
combined, and at a big saving in time and labor.
See us about an actual demonstrate. 4

market soon, including two sizes of Tractors, large
tracts-drawn Rototillers, Cultivators, Disc Plows,
