GASOLINE PROBERS
FAIL TO PLACE BLAME

Washington, April 1.-THE federal
trade commission presented to con-
gress a preliminary report on its in
vestigation of the rise in the price of
gasoline. The report carries a mass
of statistics on production and prices,
but draws no conclusions as to the
cause of the increase of the latter.
"If prices are found to have been
raised to higher levels in some sec
tons than in others, making due al
lowance for quality of product, freight
and marketing conditions, it may be
inferred that an element Of artificial
manipulation has entered into the ad-
vance," the report says.

1t will leave the doctors,
lawyers and professional men
without anyone to work on.

Grass will grow in the streets
and moss will cover the
doorways of our stores.
Just buy all your goods
away from that's the
way to kill the town.
II YOU want to just halfway
kill it, buy just half your goods
away from home. Buff you
want to make this the Invest
burg in the state, just buy
everything you need here.
