Lie never frightened her, but he showed her how to do things, nnd she was never afraid when she was with him. In ihe fall he took her for rides In her express cart, and he made a high seat In the cart fori her when he took her for slower and more stylish rides.

Tiu Oepaitment of Justice is especially anxious io encourage a cam paign tu increase production and to decrease consumption; offset the "Buy " v." campaign propaganda to increase prices; assure and con-. incc the people that not only the peak of prices have been reached in food and feed products, but that wearing apparel instead of going higher, must gradually decrease; convince the people that the Government means business and that profiteering and other violations of law will be rigidly enforced and in tensively administered. Prosecutions have been instituted and others will be instituted against those who are controlling prices and profiteering. The law prohibits unjust a- unreasonable prices. This is a question to be determined by the court in any particular case In ascertaining what is a reasonable charge, the jiiginal cost is one factor to be considered, the replacement value another, and all tha facts and circumstances surrounding the transaction are proper elements entering into the problem. The Fair Price Committees mu their best judgment in such cases, without narrowing the question to any o.ie factor. The test should be original cost and not replacement value. An investigation in this district shows that some wholesalers are charging excessive profits and some retailers have advanced prices out of all reason, and are so possessed with the idea of greed that they have lost dl sense of justice and fairness, that they unb'.ushingly attempt to justify unreasonable margins of profit for various reasons, and will make no effort or promise to cut expense so as fcO-iwlvi'Je jrk?. This is. a class, that ..deserve attention, first, for there is no store anywhere that cannot cv.t off some unnecessary 'i.pen-e soiii"wh re, thereby making Vr.ve.' piiccr. passible. That which is most iFsirM is to maintain fair prices. Fair price committees ate federal officers and have ju:i.(lic ion to fix prices, including fuel, food, feed and wearing apparel.
