Thtrsdoy, February 26,1942 FERTILIZER PRICES WILL BE FROZEN Ad- an- Washington, Feb. 21. —Price ministrator Leon Henderson nounced today he would “freeze” re tail prices of fertilizer at levels pre vailing between February 16 and February 20. The order, effective February 27, Is preliminary to establishment of a formal fertilizer price ceiling within the next 60 days. “Fertilizer prices have advanced considerably as compared with a year ago,” Hendereon declared. “Our farmers are being called upon to pro duce as fiever before the vital com modities and foodstuffs that will play so impo/tant a part in winning this war. In | making this effort, farmers have a right to expect that supplies of fertilizer shall be placed at theif disposal at uninflated prices. Higher fertilizer prices at this time can only serve to hinder our national food production program.” Found Their Piece of Empire .. . > ; j.; Little Girl Drowns In Water Barrel Laurens, Feb. 23.—Funeral services for Betty Jean Riddle, 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Riddle, who was drowned in a partly 11 Bed water barrel at her home near Watts Mills Sunday afternoon, were held at 11 o’clock Tuesday morning at the .Lucas Avenue Baptist church, with the pastor, Rev. L. M. Smith, officiating. Interment followed in Watts Mills cemetery. Sheriff C. W. Wier, investigating' the drowning, said he believed that the girl had mounted a bucket to look into the barrel and that she lost her balance and fell head-foremost into the barrel. She was found by her mother shortly afterwards. Two South African soldiers are shown looking over German graves in the cemetery at Italian Fort Capuxxo in Italian Libya. These Ger mans died in the British drive across Cyrenaica. Tide of battle has again changed in this theater of war, with Field Marshal General Erwin Rommel’s reinforced Axis troops again in possession of Bengasi. WEST CLIKTON PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS HRS.
