publicity committee, f. F.. w. c., who
is attending the war work college at
Tallahassee, writes most enthusiast
ically of the meeting of the food con-
servation chairmen and the county
home demonstration agents which
was held last week. and says the in
terest shown by these women in at
tending the course from the begin
ming augurs well for the success of

around. This afternoon and evening
we will have Francis x. Bushman and
Beverly Bavne, the handsomest man

pretty little daughter, Virginia lef
on the early morning train Sunday, tt

they will probably stay, but if tn.

Ifortuitous circumstances they will re
turn to health and comfort in sum!
