I WHAT PRICE CONTROL MEANS TO FARMERS - A statement by Edward O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation before the House Banking and Currency Committee on the resolution to extend price control legislation carries much food for thought and sound logic on this subject that is of particular importance at this time. Mr. ONeal explained that the American Farm Bureau Federation which he heads, represents approximately 830,000 farm families in forty-five states or the equivalent of three and onehalf million farm' people. ; "Only last week," he said, "in Chicago our board of directors... which represents farmers 'from all over the United Spates again went on record as favoring extension of the OPA bill without amendment. The OPA program has not been perfect. . . . However, we feel that in all fairness and for the well-being of the Nation, the continuation of the price stabilisation program is essential." - After making the point that inflation experienced in this War is considerably less than during the First World War,

although, this already 'has been a much longer war and there have been many more inflationary pressures in this war, he continued : My appeal is that we do not let the small irritations involved in price control warp our judgment to a point wjiere we cast aside the price control program. "The critical period for price control lies in the future. The highest prices were reached about eighteen months after ' the close of World War I. The general price level increased 45 points between November, 1918 and May, 1920. The inflationary pressures in our economy today are much : greater than those which existed at the close of World War I. If we are going to win the. war against inflation as well as the war against our foreign enemies, we must realize the seriousness of the problem that faces us. : I "The farmers have a very vital stake in' the operation of a-successful price control program. They know that following the close of, World War,. I their costs continued to increase after their 'prices began !i 6 'i all. They kaow that the prices paid, for commodities usejl in production continued high and for over twenty long year's they were at a disparity as compared with the rest of our economy. ... ; "If the price control program is to operate successfully, it cannot operate on a hand-to-mouth basis. The opposition to the price control program is very vociferous and loud. Unless cave is exercised, the wrong opinion is likely to prevail concerning the'actual desires of the rank and file of the people."

CHAPTER XI Nodding curtly to half a dozen scullery and chamber maids giggling in the background, Roger Vaughn shouldered his bag of tools and, a step or two behind the other impostor, followed an austere old butler down into a huge dim cellar. After making an elaborate pre'tense of testing the fuses, Vargha spat noisily before grunting, "Trouble's not down here, Uncle, Must be a short in. the wiring upstairs." The butler frowned and beat agitated hands together. "Don't tell me we will have to go without electrics tonight. His Excellency will be furious. Please look some more." "Why? This happens to everybody," Vaughn demanded carelessly. "He has guests." "Guests, eh?". Vaughn's fingers tightened on the pliers with which he was pretending to adjust a socket screw. "Well, then, we'll have to. take a look, eh, Karolyi?" Was Colonel Constanescu upstairs? He rather "imagined so, otherwise there was no accounting for the curious presentiment of danger which was sending inexplicable little chills racing along his spine. "Igen, I'll tell you what we'll do, Uncle." There was now very little of aristocratic succinctness in Count Vaigha's speech. "We'll take a look around the house, eh Miklos? Perhaps the break is in plain sight." "Oh thank you! Thank you! The Master is very nervous tonight." "Sander! Sandor!" An angry voice pentrated a set of doors leading away to the right. "Where the devil are you?" "I must go," the butler cried in an undertone. "As I said, His Excellency is in a rage. I I'll send a maid to show you the way." His departure affording the intruders a brief moment to themselves, Vaughn utilized it in swiftly whispering, "Make love to that maid keep her in the back of the house! I'm going to try to catch Kybor alone. If I can, I'll stick him up and search him." . . -r "And if the Heart is not on him?" "I'll make him get it.""Perhaps! But be careful he's clever and a dangerous man. You'll have to work fast, too, we've been here twenty minutes already and I overheard someone say old Sandor telephoned the power company a while back. If the real electricians come before we leave well, it'll be a long while before you see your dear Hon again. Look out! Here comes that blasted maid." Count Vargha's task -it soon appeared would be none too easy, because though the maid was a pretty little thing, she was also alert, and patently there to watch these slovenly workmen. It therefore required no little skill on the part of the Hun garian Intelligence officer to fill the little maid's head so full of Compliments that she never noticed it when , Vaughn wandered off through a long succession of rooms, with his right hand closed over a business- . like little automatic lying in the depths of the tool bag. Treading softly but not stealthily the pseudo electrician entered a corridor down which sounded several voices. What would he find at the corridor's far end? Disappointment? Clash? Death, perhaps the game was too great to admit half penalties of failure. ; There were he soon learned no more than six people at the Minister of Justice's table, splendid with crystal, silver and dazzling napery. By some bold maneuvering, he reached a point opposite the dining room and, peering into it, made out a fierce hook-nosed old man seated in an armchair and irritably fingering a champagne glass. To his right was seated a daringly gowned young woman who, though very lovely, was certainly not listed in the Almanach de Gotha. Unfortunately, a hanging obscured the other guests.

To.be furtive now would be to in vite disaster, Vaughn wa3 well aware of that so, drawing a deep breath, he stepped boldly into sight and, manipulating his flash, began to test a series of switches by snap ping them loudly. Prince Kybor he instantly lUe.nin'-a the Minister of Justice from lion's description would not turn his head, however, until the impostor deliberately dropped his bag of tools. When the silver haired host shouted something in Hungarian, Vaughn snatched off his cap and bowed jerkily several times before .answering in thick German. "Nowadays Hungary crawls with these infernal foreigners," the prince snapped. "Come in here, you." Conscious of a sharp tingling at the base of his scalp, the impostor shambled up to the entrance of the dining room to stand there blinking in the light of several candelabra. Did this grim old man actually possess the curious relic which meant so much to Hon Gardonyi? Hon! A vision of her great, faintly oblique eyes came to steady him. Dear little Mistress Headlong! ; A few more steps and he was mumbling excuses for disturbing the repast while covertly surveying the guests. There were Prince Ky bor and his petite amie she with the sensual mouth and half naked bosom a cVop-haired, sullen look ing officer in a green and yellow hussar uniform who was talking with a girl ..certainly not his wife and, at the far end of the table was he who must be the messenger. The floor heaved under Vaughn's feet like the deck of a storm tossed ship. Constanescu was the man who had kissed Hon amid the ruins of Schloss Exler! Conquering whirling emo tions, Vaughn forced himself to view the fellow dispassionately. What a sharp contrast Colonel Constanescu presented to the other men. Flabbv where thev were musc8lar, he had a palely dark face dominated by a great beak of a nose jutting out from between sly and blood-shot eyes. In- his buttonhole were the ribbons of not one, but shocking taste,half a dozen decorations. Beside him and sitting with her back to the untidy intruder : a woman lolled "indolently in her tapestried chair. :' "Well, fellow,- can't you find the trouble?" "Yes, Excellency. If not tonight, then in the morning. " 'i" "Dolt! Idiot! I want it repaired tonight." v ' " : Colonel Constaneseu's companion stirred, and many gems glittered on her pallid wrist when .she .reached for her champagne glass. - "Really, ' your' Excellency',!' she murmured, -"are Si'ight lights so necessaVtoni'ghC?'' .;''. It'-setnied as--if 'an icicle had stabbedjRoger Vaiig'nn's.hear't, and beneath the dirty blue muffler he felt his throat miiscles stiffening spasmodically. That voice!' There was no need, to behold Hon Gardonyi's piquant profile suddenly gilded by the candelabra, and it was only by a desperate rallying of his selfcontrol that he kept from crying out. Even so he must, in some subtle way, have betrayed part, of his consternation, because the hussar officer in green and yellow stiffened, scowled and demanded sharply, "Well, fool, what are you staring at?" ,s - "Why I nothing, sir. Beg pardon, sir." It was then that she in the tight red velvet gown turned quickly' on her chair to peer over a well powdered shoulder. Vaughn was astounded; could this Hon actually be the same girl he had first encount ered in that sun drenched clearing in the forest? For all his careful disguise she instantly recognked him; there was no escaping a sudden rigidity of her much bejewelled pn eers, nor the sudden motionlessness Time

of a bosom more revealed than concealed by her scanty evening gown. Amazement, fear and frantic indecision, all were to be read in the depths of her wide eyes before she cast a lightning glance at Constanescu who, fortunately, was occupied in the audible consumption of a crepe suzette. When her look flashed back to Vaughn's grimy features, the impostor, during the brief interval their eyes met, tried to ask silently a dozen vital questions. His faith was swaying, tottering to annihilation. Loud in his ears he could hear again Vargha Stefan's. voice saying, "A little adventuress, she's made a sad fool of you " "Well, are you going to stand there all night?" Prince Kybor's acid tones broke in upon his mental turmoil. Taking a fresh grip on himself. the pseudo electrican shuffled his feet and dropped his eyes. " Pardon, your Excellency the the roam is so beautiful. If you will tell me what lights have been used tonight, I will test them," ' Try those in the salon tr.rough there to the right, then the library, and after that my study." . The hussar officer spoke suddenly in Hungarian and . Vaughn wondered whether there was not z suspicious twist to the soldier's powerful, thick lipped mouth. Prince Kybor nodded thought fully, then said, "Examine the living room and the library; call me when you're, ready for the study. The or switches there, are intricate, I will have to show you." ' His heart thudding like those witch doctors' drums he iiad once heard in the steaming jungles of Haiti, Vaughn picked up the repair kit and, without a second glance at Hon, slouched off into a huge Directoire salon in which he puttered about several minutes before mak ing his way to the library. There he repeated his performance and was far from reassured when the beetle browed hussar noiselessly appeared and, candle in hand, watched him work. When the pretense was over the forbidding onlooker turned on a spurred heel and without comment of any kind, stalked back into the dining room. It was at, this point that Vaujrhn was further disturbed to hear the loud and persistent . janglinc of a boil in the servant's quarters. Damn ! Were those the other electricians arriving? Feverishly he wondered whether Vargha had already come to g-rief Well, no lime to find out irreplaceable seconds were escaping liko mercury through the fingers. As quickly as he dared, he sallied out into the hall and fortunately had but a second to wait before Prince Kybor Jorga appeared, his cavernous eyes bright, and his hair silvergold the light of a f undle held before him. A "Come on," he snapped. "I mil at have those lights fixed." Over his shoulder he called, "Please go into the living room, Colonel, I will be with you all in a minute. This way." Fighting down a . rising uneasiness, Roger Vaughn plucked the automatic from his tool bag and unobtrusively hid it in his hand. After a few strides more he and the Minister of Justice were facing each other alone in a small room where filing cabinets and law books lined the walls. In the center of it loomed a fiat topped desk, probably the same in which Hon Gardonyi had found the spool of threador so she said. 1 "There is a special light switch by the desk," the Hungarian .commenced to explain. "The trouble may be " He checked himsdf because from the direction of the kitchen the sound of excited voices swelled like a diapason note on an organ. , (To be concluded) Copyright by F.
