WANTS WHEAT PRICES
REDUCED BY CONGRESS

With the aim of obtaining lower
food prices. Representative Fitz-
gerald. former Boston mayor. yes
terday introduced a resolution in
the House asking that the govern
ment reduce the price of wheat to
the consumer below the guaranteed
price and assume the loss.
He also asked that control of food
be taken from the Food Administra-
tion and given to the Department of
Agriculture. Herbert Hoover's pre-
diction that there will be no food
shortage after the next harvest
should cause the United States to
put into effect to the people the
world wheat price. which will be
lower than the price in this coun-
try because of the law of supply
and demand. Fitzgerald said.

h LIBRARY PLAYS IMPORTANT PART IN ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN OF ANNISTON
Nv PATRIOTIC PATRICIA

Anniston. December (SpeciaL)- All of Anniston's club women have perfected plans to further improve the splendid Carnegie library.
 In fact in all of the club programmes for this winter spirit of helpfulness is dominant. The habit of usefulness established by the women who gave their time so unselfishly during the world war continues and now that the necessity for war work no longer exists women everywhere are lending their aid to all projects planned for the good of the community ill which they live.
 A permanent good has come out of the cataclysm of the most terrible war the world has ever known. The noble women who mobiliZed their time. energy and means for the sake of hu- manity during the war will never again be content to lead lives of self ish ease or frivolity. but are still for getting self in their eager desire to respond to all worthwhile calls for further service.
 Both study and pleasure were sac rificed to a large extent for war work last winter. This season. however, the regular club studies are being entered into with renewed enthusiasm ana are being thoroughly enjoyed by lovers of literature and music.
 The assistance given the club women by Miss Anne Van Ness Blanchet, the lovely, popular librarian in charge of the Carnegie library. has proven in- valuable. Miss Blanchet is ideally fitted to render this appreciated serv- ice, being an ardent lover of literature and music possessing unusual talent in both, extremely progressive in all lines of thought. and having enjoyed the advantages of extensive travel. She was born in the home of a Japan csc feudal lord during her mothers and fathers sojourn in Japan. Most of her life, however, has been spent in New York. Miss Blanchet is related to the Van Nesses and Schuylers, two of the best-known Samilies of the metropolis. Her grea grandfather, Col. David Van Ness won fame during his service in the revolution. all of the

 a lovely little Thanksgiving play,
 which was presented in costume at the
 library for the pleasure of the Addie

 classics will be among the welcome
 gifts of the club women.
 The Matrons Study club. the Euter-

It is hoped that number of new books on the special studies of the various clubs wlli be added to the library collection during the coming month.
