Food Bill Surges as Wages Lag in Rising Costs
The 1923 to present period shows the average family food bill climbing from 339.30 to 425.54 yearly, with potatoes and flour among the sharpest price jumps.

Rotarians plan an informal dinner meeting in Seattle to boost cleanup efforts, with Mrs. Josephine Nesbit detailing her work and outcomes.
