You've grown older" she said.
 Candace laughed. Its a habit we all have" she agreed.
 Belle looked almost apoplectic at that; but Candace's tone had been pleasant and there was noth- ing in her expression to indicate malice, and after a tense instant Belle apparently decided to let the remark go.
 The conversation during dinner degenerated, in their combined ef- forts to keep the peace. into almost childish prattle between herself and Bruce, having to do with how she had been keeping herself occupied.
 Then Bruce said, Which college is it to be this fall?"
 Candace smiled; her face lighted happily. i've been dying for a chance to tell you both," she con- fided. T go into training at Merry mount Hospital next week."
 You what?" Belle questioned sharply.
 Her tone erased Candace's smile. She repeated carefully, I'm going into training, I'm going to be a nurse"
 "Oh, you are" Belle said, smirk- ing. How romanticl How too, too charming! So there's to be glori- fled scullery maid in the family! How delightful" She dropped her tone of sarcasm. Get that insane idea out of your head at once" she ordered.

 DOMESTIC TEMPEST
 CHAPTER VI
 Belle came home unexpectedly the end of July.
 The circumstances of her return had an ominous air. Bruce was with her and they had with them, besides Belle's present personal maid, the servant couple from the apartment in town. Candace saw neither of them that night or the next day, but whenever she passed through the halls she could hear their voices: Bruce's low and, 1t seemed, pleading, Belle's strident; and once she thought she heard Belle sobbing angrily.
 She saw Bruce alone for an in- stant the next evening before din- ner. It had been weeks only since she'd seen him. but she was shocked by the change in him. he looked so tired and so almost old. She said lightly, Its been a tough sum- mer in town. hasn't it, Uncle Bruce9"
 He sighed. Plenty tough" he agreed.
 "You shouldn't have stayed there Esl the time" she said. You should have come out here. The Hobbses and I would have seen that you were surrounded with fresh air and loving care"

KENT COUNTY USDA
WAR BOARD MEETS
CONTINUED from First Pase)

One important subject discussed
was the scrap iron salvage cam
paign which will be conducted dur
ing the first three weeks in Octo-
ber with the cooperation of various
local committees which have been
appointed to contact all Organiza-
tions and individuals in their re-
spective communities for the pur-
pose of collecting all scrap metal.
AS county chairman of this scrap
iron harvest, County Agent Russell
e. Wilson is most desirous that all
local committees make every pos
sible effort to collect this material
so that Kent county will come
through this campaign with a most
creditable record.
r Exhibits of scrap iron which
have been placed in local store
windows by the County USDA War
Board and Agricultural Conserva-
tion Association have attracted the
attention of urban and rural people
to the necessity of getting this scrap
material collected for the manu-
featuring of war munitions. Differ
ent organizations such as Volunteer
Firemen, Grange, Future Farmers
of America and All Clubs are comb
ing the country side for scrap iron,
and it is expected that this drive
will result in the collection of many
tons of this much needed material
for our armed forces. '.
The County USDA War Board
also took up the matter of rationing
farm machinery which will be un-
der the direction of a special COM
mittee consisting of r. Harry Will
son, chairman; John G. Tarburton
and Lyndon d. Caulk, with Paris G. |
Kirby and Dudley Crossley as alter /
nate members. The administration |
of the farm machinery rationing
program was delegated by the War
Production Board to the Office of
Price Administration, and then re-
delegated to the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture through county COM
nittees who will have jurisdiction
over all applications for the pur-
and distribution of farm
eQuipment.

The original church, built on the

ing the emergency, will meet the
various crops and soil conditions in
each state. These grades are based
on years of experiments and prac-
ticaI farm experiences.
Reducing the number of fertilizer
grades aids farmers and helps to
further the war effort.
Phillips explains that reducing
the number of grades cuts the cost
of manufacturing, and so in the
long run saves farmers money; for
farmers actually. pay the. cost of
manufacturing. 1t saves materials
and. labor used in making different
kinds of bags that can be used to
much better advantage in other
things. And with only a few stand
ard fertilizer mixtures for each
state, farmers will find it much
easier to select the ones best suit
ed to their crops and soils.
