Nearly all prices charged by retailers, wholesalers, manufactures and producers of raw materials- The only important cost-of-living ex clusions are certain' food products. Q. What are the ceiling prices? A- In general, the highest charg ed during March, 1942. by each in dividual seller. ! Q. When does the ceiling become i effective? *. For groas sold at retail, the ceilings apply on May 18. A 1. 1942 . 2- For services at retail, that is. rendered to the ultimate consumer, the ceiling applies on July 1. 1942 3 Per sales by manufactur ers. producers and wholesalers, and services rendered to an indutrial consumer, the ceil ing applies on May 11, 1942 Q Will the ceiling prices be the i same at every store for the same article? I ^ A the N h ig - h ^ t p^cTat whlctTea^h store sold an article during March. The maximum price will vary from store to store as prices varied from : I store to store during March. Q. Can prices lower than the ceiling be charged. A. Yes, they can go as low as the seller wishes Q How will the housewife know what the maximum prices are? A The regulation lists about 100 of the most important groups of jt ems m the average family's cost of living. The maximum pricM cf these items must be displayed by any retailer selling them after May should ask the storekeeper for his maximum prices After July 1. the £*££ r ent m 0 f'^^hes* priced all commodities or all services which he delivered or supplied during March. This may be examined by the housewife do if she believes that she is re quired to pay more than a store keeper . s maximum? ^ ^should ask^he ^torekeep she still believes that she is quired to pay more than his legal maximum, she should communicate the facts to OPA's nearest war price and rationing board or its nearest local office. Q. How can the shopper obtain record showing what she paid ^h^a'rch * prices?* C ° m ' a. Every store, when requested a customer, must give a sales jjp qj. receipt showing the date, the name and address of the store, the item sold, and the price re ceived i«. Q.

The only defense against these modem weapons is "more of same." More tanks, planes and guns than the enemy. Tlie only way we can get more than the enemy is to produce more. And the only way to produce more is to put our monev to work on Production. You can put your money to work and help to buy the weapons that will win the war. simply by investing in War Bonds and Stamps. ^VICTORY i BUY, Farmers-Stockgrowers Bank pONDs l STAMPS possibilities of cutting the quality cooked, its preparation and service and also the amount and quality of beverages served ar e so numerous that the administration felt enforce ment of ceiling cn sales of this nat ure would be extremely difficult. It is thought that if restaurant costs are largely stabilized, there will be little or no excuse to raise prices Furthermore, the terrific compet ition in this field will tend to hold j prices down, Q What about services? is there f a limit on charges cf tailors, dry cleaners, auto repair shops, radio repair men, storage establishments and the like? A. Yes, price ceilings are being placed over these retail services per formed in connection with a com modity. But purely personal serv ices, such as beauty parlors and barber shops, are exempt by the act, Q Is real estate covered? A- No, sales of land and build ings are exempt from price control. Q Why do retail ceilings go into effect on different dates? Why don't maximum prices take effect at once. A By coming under maximum prices one week after wholesalers and manufacturers, retail stores will have a great opportunity to buy supplies at March wholesale before returning to March retail prices. Any deliveries to retailers after May 11. of course, must be at prices no higher than tire suppliers' mum price—even if the contract calls for a higher price. In the case of retail services, the effective maxi date is delayed until July 1 . This will give OPA time to set up the machmery for the administration cf maximum prices in this field.

Around the clock, winter and summer, the trains keep rolling—backing up •very phase of the Nation's war effort*. WhoOoo-whoooo - woo - woo That, today, it the " movingest" sound in the world! Through night, through atorm, it shrills for the right of way tor Uncle Sam. Troops, guns, munitions, food, materials,—all going places—in a hurry! How fast the pace? This may give you some idea: Last year the Great Northern moved nearly one-third more freight than ever before in its history. Much of it, critical war materials that had to arrive on time—and did! And, incidentally, it doesn't follow that because the railroad moved nearly one-third more freight than ever before, it received that much more money for its services. The fact is that the "pay" the Great Northern received for the record-breaking transportation job it did in 1941 was actually less than it received in 1928 or 1929, previous peak years. Not only did the Great Northern receive less, but it paid the highest wages in its history, the highest taxes ($16,867,023 in 1941 as compared with $9,201,154 in 1929), and higher prices for fuel, materials and supplies. The Great Northern's net income (profit) was actually less last year than for each of the eight years from 1923 to 1930. But that is beside the point! The main thing is— To beep on delivering the goods for Uncle Sam! To keep those freight cars rolling! To try to come through the present year with the record intact— a record of not a single hour's delay in any part of Uncle Sam's war effort on account of any failure of the Great North ern Railway! And to that end, the men who man the trains, who maintain the roads of steel, keep the cars and locomotives in repair, and perform the many other necessary services, can be depended upon to "keep 'em rolling."
