George.
"Oh, hello. Anne" she greeted as
the heavy door swung open. DO
come in. I was just finishing the
dinner dishes I didn't expect any
visitors" They walked through the
house to the kitchen. Laura resumed
her task while Anne perched herself
on the table and reflectively swung
one leg.
1--WE been your friend for q long
time, haven't I, Laura?" she said sud-
denly.
"Of course! But why mention it
now?" Laura turned, laughing, and
gave her a quizzical glance. Anne
was seriously regarding the tip OF her
shoe as she spoke.
IT DON'T wish to appear busy
body, Laura. but I think you
should know that your flance has
been seen at least four times in the
company Of that new girl from WASH
ingten, Miss Pritchard, in the last
week. People are talking about it,"
Anne regarded Laura with a coolly
inuuisitive stare. You haven't quar-
relied. have you?"
Goodness no." Laura frankly
scofied at the suggestion. With our
wedding only a month aHay?"

should know After all. George hasn't
got your ring from the jewelers. yeti"
Anne deftly turned the discussion into
other channels and left shortly.
Watching her walk away down the
sidewalk Laura's mind returned to
speculate upon the subject Anne had
brought up. She realized that in q
week she had only seen George twice,
instead of the regular evening visit.
1t was 8 o'clock when his small car
pulled up before the Carlton home
and he came striding up the shaded
walk. Laura, meeting him at the
door. held up her face for the usual
greeting. Kissing her. George sug-
gested, Let's just 60 for a drive to-
night, what say?"
While they were driving Laura no.
ticed that he seemed. to be pre-
occupied, merely staring ahead at the
road instead of chatting gaily as he
usually did She decided to discover
just how the land lay.
"By the way. George, have you met
that Miss Pritchard yet?" she casually
inquired.
why. um-m, yes, know her
slightly" Laura thought that he ap-
peared startled at the question. He
spoke but little during the rest OF the
evening and dropped her at home
earlier than usual. Laura began to
wonder. That woman was a very
charming person, she had heard!

FOOD PRICE JUMP

American Liberty League
Cites 81 Per Cent Increase
During Agency's Life.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Liberty League in
statement yesterday declared retail
food prices have advanced on an
average of 80 per cent during the life
of the A. A. A., and that the con-
sumer is the forgotten man OF the
New Deal"
The league asserted consumers al
ready had contributed 1920, 100000 in
processing taxes, $3.50 ,000,0 900 appro-
priated from the Treasury and faced
possible heavy losses from operations
of the Commodity Credit Corp. TAX
ing 33 per cent as the food share of
the small wage family budget, the
league said:
"On this basis, the normal outlay
for food from So 900 income is $500.
An increase of IS per cent in food
prices would add $23l"
A l48 per cent boost in lard price
was listed as the peak advance during
the A. A. A., while pork chops we're
put at ll8 per cent and bread at 26.
The league said that if Secretary
Wallace decides to attempt to en-
force" the potato control act, it will
mean very considerable increase to
the budget of most consumers" 1t
added:
The consumers of the country,
who comprise the entire population,
are paying the costs of misguided ex-
perimentation. The picture is by no
means as rosy as painted in the
Presidents speech at Fremont, Nebr.
The A. A. A. has achieved no last
ing benefits for agriculture, Its man
ipulations have caused diSlocationS IN
the economic structure which coun-
terbalance any possible temporary ad-
vantages. The experience of potato
growers, whose market has been de-
moralized by the products OF land
diverted from cotton, tobacco, wheat,
peanuts and other controlled crops.
has demonstrated that it is impos-
sible to stop with halfway measures.
The inevitable end is complete
regulation of all agricultural produc-
ton Consumers then would pay the
prices fixed by socialistic govern
n.ent.'
