FRNKA MERCANTILE COMPANY
New Ulm. Texas
Army Exchanges, which fol-
low American troops wherever
they go, are now dealing in such
items as kangaroo rugs, grass
skirts, and native-made jewelry,
in adition to their staple line
of cigarettes, candy, soft drinks,
and other home commodities,
the War Department 'has been
informed. Since many of the
soldiers want to send such
things back home, the Exchange
Senice buys them from the na-
tives at a reasonable price and
resells them to the soldiers.
The native are inclined to “jack
up the price” on direct sales.
Grass skirts sell for approxi-
mately $1.50, while a good kan-
garoo rug may cost $20.

life of me, I can't figure out why, at a time
like this, some folks insist on raising a ques-
tion like prohibition. I can’t imagine any-
thing that would tickle our enemies more
than to get us folks over here taking sides
Budget Report
Government budgetary esti-
mates for the fiscal year 1944
estimate total expenditures for
the year, exclude Retirement
and Trust Fund disbursements,
at 106 billion dollars, and net
receipts at 38 billion dollars. The
expected deficit of 68 billion
dollars will bring the public
debt above 200 billion dollars
by next June 30. In the fiscal
year just ended, actual "expen-
ditures were 80 billion dollars,
actual receipts 22 billion dol-
lars, or a deficit of 58 billion
dollam. A hundred billion dol-
lars will be needed for war ex-
penditures during the fiscal
year 1944, compared with 75
billion dollars actually spent for
war in 1943. The war depart-
ment now is expected to spend
less and tlhe navy department
and other agencies are expected
to spend more for war than was
estimated in January.
Legal Aid To Soldiers
Legal aid, ranging from
drawing wills to solving pro-
blems in insurance, is being
provided to soldiers by more
than 600 legal assistance offi-
cers in military installation in
the U. S. and abroad, the War
Department announced recent-
ly. At each of the legal assist-
ance offices, commisssioned of-
ficers of the Judge Advocate
General’s Department, Army
Service Forces, who are also
licensed attorneys, are on duty.
During a recent period 50 typ-
ical legal assistance offices re-
ported that since their estab-
lishment they have assisted
military personnel in a total of
24.000 matters.

over 40 per cent of the cost of

cent. The cost of living index
now stands at 124.8 per cent
of the 1935-39 average. Food
prices are 45 per cent above
January 1941 and more than
16 per cent above May 1942.
More Wollens For Civilians
Several million men’s macki-
naws and Melton work jackets,
children’s legging sets, blankets
and other needed items of
men’s, women’s and children’s
apparel will be added to the
civilian supply this winter as a
result of a program arrived at
jointly by WPB and
Department. Army
ments on some of t)he
worsted and woolen
will be reduced by 50
during the last four months
of this year.
Sell Equipment To Signal Corps
Photographic and short-wave
radio equipment purchased from
private owners is now in serv-
ice on many battle fronts as
well as in the continental Unit-
ed States, but more of a num-
ber of specific items is greatly
needed, the War Department
has announced. The Signal
Corps, Army Service Forces,
has made a special appeal to
persons possessing certain high-
grade or scarce items to sell
them as a means of aiding the
war effort. Owners who wish
to offer equipment for sale
Should write to: Emergency
Purchase Section, Philadelphia
Signal Corps Procurement Dis- 1
trict, 5000 Wissahickon, Ave.,

should be shipped unless re-
quested.
Wool Supplies About Same
The supply of wool for civil-
ian wearing apparel is approxi-
mately the same as last season.
To meet military demands and
equip civilians, existing wool
facilities will be operated to the |
limit of capacity. Manufactur-
ers are reducing the variety of
colors and counts of their
yarns; weavers are dropping
some of the non-essential num-
bers from their lines. Materials
produced will be familiar, pop-
ular, and practical types. No
colors are prohibited.
Federal Expenditures
Ninety-five cents out of ev-
ery dollar of Federal expendi-
tures goes directly into the w*ar
effort, says Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau. This
means that $36.8 billions of the
approximately $38.7 billions
which President Roosevelt es-
timated would be received in
the present fiscal year, will go
to purchase guns, tanks, ships,
planes, etc.

since canned fruits and berries
are sold under fixed mark-ups
at both wholesale and retail, it
will mean increased costs to
the housewife on these items.
To Save Paper
Between 250,000 and 300,000
tons of paper will be saved by
amended WPB conservation or-
der M-241-A which affects all
use of paper and is far more
inclusive in its scope than any
other paper conservation order.
The paper saved, according to
the WPB pulp and paper divi-
sion, will be utilized to better
advantage in meeting war re-
quirements and certain civilian
needs. Although the General
Public may have fewer fancy
articles made from paper, the
real needs of the average citi-
zen will not be seriously af-
fected because plenty of utili-
tarian paper articles will still be
available.
Rule For Poultry Truckers
Truckers hauling poultry
must post within their trucks
the name and address of the
persons to whom it is being
shipped, the place from which
the items were shipped, their
quantities, types, grades and
weight classes, and the number
of head of each, the OPA has
ruled.
Maas Mailing Finished
Approximately 122,000,000
copies of War Ration Book
Three had been mailed by the
first of last week. OPA an-
nounced that : (1) anyone who
does not receive has War Ra-
tion Book Three should apply
at his local board between Au-
gust 1 and *10 (2) a plan is now
being set up to distribute War
Ration Book Three to members
of the armed services who are
eligible for ration books; (3)
persons receiving War Ration
Book Three should sign their
names and addresses in the
spaces reserved for that pur-
pose on the cover. \
Supply Of Fats, Oils
Despite heavy wartime de-
mands on the supply of edible
fats and oils (principally lard,
butter, shortening, and margar-
ine), 44 pounds per capita—
about 5 pounds less than in
1942—will be made available to
American civilians during the
12 months ending June 30,
1944, the War. Food Adminis-
tration has announced. Of the
total civilian allocation, approx-
imately 9 ounces per week per
capita will be available for di-
rect purchases, and an addi-
tional 4»/? ounces for indirect
consumption in such items as
restaurant meals, bakery pro-
ducts, mayonnaise, etc.
