For q moment, a. I began to

he smiled tenderly. and, leaning
nearer, he put his hand over

he asked me If 4 didn't want to

where we had dined and 80 home
to be just alone with him, q. great
Joy swelled up in. my heart. He
was speaking to me as q man
speaks only to the woman who
means ali in ali to him.
Even when we were in the taxi
speeding homeward q great shy

to me and his hand covered
mine-not possessively. not de-
mandingly, but tenderly and with
a world Of understanding. had
a sudden sense Of peace and quiet
such as I'd almost forgotten how
to feel.
In the oneness and sympathy
which enveloped US felt certain
that Jim would confide in me
with absolute frankness. felt
so sure Of Jim's deep tenderness
and devotion that didn't ques-

know all about any interest that
was part Of his life.
When we got to our apartment
the long twilight just was deepen

before dark.
Get into something comfy,
dear, and let's sit here in the
living room and have q cozy chat
to the tune of my old pipe. Does
that suit my Lilac Princess?"
asked Jim.

Of this report, that, AT least from the
standpoint Of the number OF farms per

talned before the war. Commenting
further on the status OF the county

There is gradually developing in

er will close his books at the end of
the year. During the past year 81
owners Of fine wooded locks kept
strict accounts Of their herds. From
these. accounts II was shown that
farmers feeding a limited mount of
good alfalfa hay and giving attention
to the lamb crop, received profits, even
with wool and mutton prices ut the level
they have been this past year.
The five farms where wool was pro
iuced most economically showed an
average cost of 1914 cents per pound.
The remaining % farms required 3T.5
cents TO produce each pound. The
best farms raised Al lambs per lV

lost money raised nm average Of 10
lambs per 100 sheep. These records
were taken In Morgan and Noble coun-
ties, Ohio.

Tie county agent work, says the re
port, made a conservative and uniform
growth from 1913 to 1917 of about 100
new counties each year. Then came
the artificial stimulation of the large
appropriation authorized by the war
emergency act, which provided for
national security and defense by slim
ulating agriculture and facilitating
the distribution of agricultural
products. In a period of about 10
months during 1913, 544 agents were
appointed. The conclusion of the war
so soon after the appointment of this
large additional force and the with
drnwal of more than a million dollars
of federal support, brought a real
crisis in the development of the work.
A considerable loss of agents was com
