HEIFERS BRING $15.50
ON CHICAGO MARKET;
EAT HOME GROWN FEED
A. J. Dauer shipped some heif-
ers to Chicago which brought the
top of the mafket $15.50 per hun-
dred pounds.
These heifers were fed ground
'hegari, ground cane and a sweet
feed supplement.
Mr. Dauer says this shows you
do not have to live in the cornbelt
to get the top for your cattle, and
that more should feed out their
cattle that they too might get the
top of the market.

medical officers are among those assigned to Seeley Lake
for parachute training. Trained “jumpers” are to be kept

ation they have given me in all
parts of the county. I feel that the
people are vitally interested in the
enforcement off the law and in the
efficient handling of the affairs of
the office of Tax Assessor and Col-

merit the confidence place in me.
I assure you I will appreciate
your vote and influence in the com-

pledge you a continuance of the
same faithful effort to perform the
duties of the office cheerfully and

and brush in landing. Regular parachute is in pack on
hack, and emergency parachute, in front. After the
“jumper” bails out, the plane circles and drops fire-fight-

chute. Ten “smoke-jumpers” were on duty last summer
in Siskiyou National Forest in Pacific Northwest — which
the Japs apparently tried to set afire in 1942.

If those who expect to buy War
Bonds during tlhis campaign, will
do as some have already done—
make a bee-line for the bank or
post office and buy the bonds they
expect to purchase there will be
no doubt of the success of the
drive. You can not and should not
depend upon busy eommittemen
hunting you up. You know just
how rushed you are, and all the
members of the committee, the
postmaster and the banker are all
head over heels in work. They can
not hire extra help, so we hope
none will require them to leave
their busy places to do the job we
should all do voluntarily.
Carson County has a quota of
$439,000 for this War Drive This
quota is less than the call of $580,-
200 assigned in the October drive.
J. C. McCullough, county war
announced that the county has
been assigned a quota of $170,000
of series E bonds.
The Drive will continue until
Feb. 15, although all E, F and G
bonds sold until the end of Feb-
ruary will count on the Drive.
There are no monthly quotas for
January and February.
Every individual in the United
States is urged to “Back the At-
tack” and buy all of the War
Bonds that they possibly can du-
rng this Drive. .
