Truman Keeps Simple Habits In Altered Presidency Life
The Gazette profiles President Truman, noting his private routines intact after entering a historic role. He rises after 6, eats breakfast at 7:30 with family, drinks milk daily, swims thrice weekly, and shaves with a safety razor. He avoids smoking, spars with secret service, and maintains Missouri farm habits amid White House duties. He starts work at 8:30, reads multiple papers, dictating letters, then reviews cabinet and staff, with long afternoons studying public papers. He ends days with family dinner and late-night reading, sleeping in his own bed rather than Lincoln’s antique.

Harold Anway of Cedar Rapids told Rotary that future farmer and national prosperity hinge on adequate disposal of heavy farm production and proper price relationships between farm and nonagricultural goods. As Corn Belt loan director, he said short-term farm prices may rise, but long-term trends are uncertain, illustrated with charts showing past output and price cycles including wartime periods.

Farm prices rise and production up despite farm outflow
World War II era analysis notes farm prices up 82 percent while agricultural activity grows. Despite 5 million farmers leaving the land since the war began, production climbs due to favorable weather, better machinery, and more land in use. Anway forecasts continued high production though drought risk and land reductions may emerge. Food consumption exceeds 1935 39 levels in 1943 45 with at least a quarter of production directed overseas and to the military.
