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.”

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.
