" When a Girl Marries" By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife "Yes—it was Betty. The woman 1 met there on the road the Huns were shelling was Betty Bryee," said Terry. Then he straightened up and passed his hand wearily over his eyes, as it to wipe out the picture of the wounded woman lying in his arms at the foot ot the hill in range of the German guns. I waited through long moments of silence, and thcr\ when lie slouched down again into his relaxed position, with his arms -hanging low and his clasped hands between his knees, I recalled him to his story. "And the name she called as she came running to meet you at the foot of the hill?" I asked. Terry parted his lips. A short sigh came from between them, and then shut them and tightened his relaxed jaw before he opened his lips again to speak in a low. firm, yet aching voice. "She called —'Atherton Ather ton! My poor boy! Atherton! Then she fainted. X picked her up in my arms and carried her to her ambulance. I was a little inad my self. I thought I'd seen one of the angels the chaps who came, through Alons talked about" lie relapsed into silence again— dreaming himself back, swayed again by the turmoil and conflict of it all. I held myself still in my chair. After a minute he stirred and leaned forward to lay his hand reassuringly on 'mine. "Anne —forgive me if I harrow you. . . .

SATURDAY EVENING* husband nad been kiliec. There was a little church by the side ot the very road —where we met. And when I came tumbling down that ; hill with the flames from their in j fernal shells lighting up the sky back of me—her poor tortured mind i visioned —her husband's blazing air plane tumbling out of the clouds to destruction. She thought it was her —boy. And she ran forward to save him—and it got her—the blood on her arm —and the way | she—went out calling 'Atherton!' | . . . . I'll never forget it!" "Oh, Terry—poor Terry!" I cried, I leaning forward to take his clasped j hands in mine. "You loved her j then—you've loved her ever ince." "I thought she was an angel," said Terry simply. Then he smiled j a little, brave, crooked smile, "I I think so yet." ; After a minute he went on: "I'll be getting on with my story. ! Perhaps it'll give yon the clue—the ] clue to where she is to-night. Oh, Anne—Anne, we must find her. AVe can't let her wander about. How ever, here's the story: "1 staggered to her ambulance with her and drove it into some j bushes down in a ditch. Then I | left her. I had to go on and try to | locate the enemy machine guns. A j captain can't desert his company I under fire. Three liours later I i detached some men and sent them jto find her. We'd potted the Ger- I mans by the time they got back — . and reported that the ambulance | was gone." "And was it gone?" I gasped. "1 didn't know. I couldn't tell 1 whether Betty liatl recovered con | sciousness and had driven off, or ' whether her wounded Tommy had taken the car out. or if I had cam ouflaged her hiding place so well that my men couldn't find it. And there was nothing to do —then." Terry smiled wryly, lifted his hand J wearily to his eyes again, and then ! went on quickly, as if in a great rush to he done with his story: "At dark the firing ceased. I got to my brigade commander with the story—or enough of it. And he sent me out with two men. AVe found her at dawn—dead I thought. AVe took her to the dressing sta tion—and in the midst of things— she opened her eyes and whispered his name again." "Then what?" I demanded. "Oh, on the way Jiack, 1 got mine. And 1 went to the same dressing station. And finally to Blighty on the same boat. At first Betty avoid ed me. But the Tommy had seen it all from the ambulance, and he told the nurses and the nurses told her. So. then, she seemed to think she owed her life to me, and was grateful. But when J told her how 1 felt, she went all to pieces and made me promise never to speak of it again. I've kept my word. AA'e've never said a word about out meeting and how she called me 'Atherton.' " Terry's voice trailed off. He was ghost-ridden, as Jim had said. And Betty, she was ghost-ridden, too. After a minute Terry pulled him self up alertly. "I've told won the whole story, Anne. I've talked about myself an awful lot " 1 interrupted, hoping to bring him back to normal. "Oh, yes; you've swanked all over the place.

Sometimes I think she didn't get to the dressing station—to the hospital—in time. She was so weakened from loss of blood— : so full of her hallucination about me—that I'm afraid —more than ever now—she's gone like this!" He leaned forward and sank his head in his hands. "1 got the D. S. O. for the thing T did while she was lying there: and I'm afraid that perhaps her mind—" He lifted his head and our eves caught and held. To Be Continued.

That the successful work of the farm bureau will he carried on with as much energy during the coming year as it has been since the bureau was organized, was manifested by the program of the contemplated activities as outlined by H. G. Niesley, county farm agent. Not the least important of the coming activities wilt be tbe work of the home economics extension bureau, to be directed by Miss Mary Ruth Fisher. Among the important work for tlie year outlined by Mr. Niesley is the following: For the increase in livestock pro duction, hog pasture demonstrations will he conducted, pig feeding clubs organized, cow testing organizations formed, and pure bred bull associa tions started. For the increase in soil fertility, iinie demonstrations wilt be conduct ed and demonstrations of the suc cessful use of top dressings oil tim othy and clover will be made. For increase of farm crops there will be corn variety tests and alfalfa demonstrations. Disease control will come in for much work and study by the farm bureau. Demonstrations in tHe past have shown that potato productions can be increased thirty to forty per eases also will be conibatted scien tifically. On miscellaneous subjects, Mr. Niesley told about his intention to bring the farmers around to the habit of auditing their work, and keeping tabs on expenses. He also said tliat two farmers' auto tours will be arranged, as they bring about a better understanding of the farm work being done throughout the county, and allow the tillers of the soil to becnie better acquainted with each other. Miss Fisher Talks In outining her work for the year, Miss Fisher set forth two slogans which her bureau will adopt: "Running Water in Every Home in Dauphin County.' and "Less Housekeeping and More Homemak ing.' She declared that fifty per cent, of the housewife's time js spent in the kitchen, and that it should he the best room in the house, from a stand point of convenience. She said if more attention were paid to proper home-making, there would be fewer ill-tempered homes and quiet meals. As a part of her program to edu cate farmers and their wives to bet ter home-making, she advocated the establishment of sewing clubs and bread-making clubs for girls and home-making clubs for women. She said no girl should accept a job as a home-maker until she is qualified for the position. She advocated noon lunches in rural schools, and food educational meetings where clubs are not organ ized. Miss Fisher affirmed that her work is not of an emergency or war nature, and that If farmers realize that intelligent, feeding is good for their cattle, they should come to reulize that intelligent feeding, hous ing and clothing makes for better men and women. Treasurer's Report The meeting opened with tlje read ing of the minutes of the last meet ing. followed by the report of the treasurer. The report allowed total expenditures of $1,952.73. and re ■ celpts of $1,913.68. The bureau wa9 I financed by the County Commission | ers. $1,500; Chamber of Commerce, $137.50; besides other sources. Ex ! pendltures were as follows: I Salaries, stenographic, 1341.50; stationery and small printing, em bracing letterheads' and envelopes, annual report and such multlgraph ing was necessary to hire done; $241.65; postage, telephone, tele graph and express, $158.33; sup plies, embracing photographic and small office supplies, $113.75; tools, machinery and appliances, $2.50; furniture and fixtures, $1.65; travel ing expenses, embracing gas, oil, car repairs, etc.. $600: new cur. $492.36; total expenditures, $1,952.73. A nominating committee, consist ing of James G. Fox, the Rev. John S. Raker and John Willier. was-ap pointed to nominate candidates for offtcers. , While this committee de- ( liberated on candidates, a represent atiye of the successors of the Great Grangers Picnic Organizations urged all the farmers present to at tend the picnic, which will be held during the last week of August. Mr. Niesley announced that D. K. Slonie, farm agent of Bradford county, will address the farmers at Lykens next Thursday. On llograising Howard Specce, of Speeceville, an expert on llograising, gave a short tuik on the value of pasturing hogs. He told the farmers first to eliminate "boarder pigs." that is, pigs which do not give any return for their cost. Me said that sows should be exer cised during the winter months, and advised that they be pastured about March 20 and left in pasture until May. Dtiring' May, he said, they should be turned into alfalfa pasture until June 10, and then fed on oats and rape until about July 20, then turned back into the alfalfa until about September 10. After that, he said, they should be. turned into the cornfields and there fed on corn, husking it themselves, and fed soy beans, oats and rape. They are then erady for the market by September 28. when most farmers are begin ning to feed their hogs. By this method Mr. Speece gets his hogs to market before the general rush, makes more from them and the method of fattening them costs less. Mr. Speece is known to he a success ful liogbreeder, and he answered numerous questions after his talk. B. Frank Snavely, who has almost a state-wide reputation as a success ful manager of rundown farms, which he builds up as though by magic, told of his methods. He said soil fertility and prosperity go hand in hand. He affirmed that increased production means more money to Ihe farmers, less costs to the consumers, try. His advise was that the farmers try. His advise wa sthat the. farmers use lots of lime, which is a tonic for run down soil, advised them against cropping their pastures, and urged them to use silos. Prominent Speakers Jacob M. Boyer spoke on pig feed ing clubs, and showed how they have demonstrated proper pig feed ing methods. The farm bureau was active in this line of work last year, and succeeded in interesting farmers all over Ihe country in Ihe advisa bility of properly feeding their pigs. Dojiald McCormiok, chairman of the agricultural committee of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, which helps finance the farm bureau, acknowledged the protitable work of the farm bureau, and complimented Mr. Niesley and Miss Fisher upon their part in the work. This afternoon S. T. Whitnier spoke ort "Belter Livestock," and Prof. Alva Agee. Secretary of Agri culture and E. K. Hibshmon, head of the county farm bureaus of State College, made addresses. All the officers of the bureau were re-elected for another term. They are as follows: President. A. B. Shenk •Hershey; vice-president, John Clemson, Halifax: secretary, Howard Speece, Speeceville: treasurer, B. Prank Snavel.v, Hummelstown. As sociated with these officers on the ex ecutive committees are the following: S. T. Whitmer, Union Deposit' W. H. Hrightbill, Penbrook; Isaiah Swab. Klieabethvllle; J. M. Boyer, Gratz: and County Superintendent of Schools I>\ K. Shambuugh, member'ex-ollicto. Professor Agee declared that ex perience have proved that after every war, the high war prices charged for foods decline to normal, and that in spite of the fact that Imige supplies are needed overseas, prices ure so high that the foreign nations can not make lurge purchases until they are reduced. He declared that it is the duty of the farmers to produce crops as large as possible within reason, but not to run into debt while pros pects for the future are so uncer tain. DEALERS EXPECT SOME DECREASE [Continued from First l*agc.] | slight reductions in wholesale cosls. Thus fur. the retail prices have not been reduced. The demand for meat abroad is so as well as every where else, with I the ending of the war, is for a j great, lie said, that the lrfcal plant is working more than fifty per cent, of its capacity for foreign shipments alone. This situation is common all over the country, where the plants .after supplying local demands, work i to fill foreign needs. As an of why prices re main high, even though u down ward tendency has made itself felt, Mr. Hibt'er declared that hogs still are sold to the packers at the rate of seventeen and a half cents a pound, regulated by the government. That is the price at which they have sold for thrf past six months and there Is no indication that they will be sold for less. Until March 1, the price of seventeen and a half cents will prevail. A year or eighteen months was; set by Mr. Hibler as about the length of time it would take for meal commodities to come dow*n to nor-l mal prices. VKRMOXT lIHIM.s t.ooo YANKS Newport. News, Va., Feb.

HEAVIER TAXES SOON NECESSARY, REPUBLICANS SAY Declare Present Bill Inade quate to Meet Demo cratic Waste Washington,. Feb. B.—That a new revenue bill may have to be drafted in the near future in order to meet the tremendous expenditures of the government and that the revenue measures now awaiting final action in Congress may not bring in the re turns hoped for, are statements made by Republican members of Congress in protesting against the extrava gances as shown in tje appropriation bill now pending in the House and Senate. Realizing that as the party in con trol in the next Congress, the Repub licans will be confronted with the task of adjusting the finances of the country so the heavy burdens im posed by the war, by government operation of the railroads and the other legislation enacted during the six years of Democratic supremacy, leaders are sounding a warning on the reckless expenditures which pre vail, and are urging the strictest economy in all future appropria tions That the revenue hill, which came up in the House to-day, will yield only five billion dollars this year, instead of $<1,070,000,000, and only $3,.">00,000,000 in 1920 instead of s4.'- 000.000,00 was the statement made by Senator Smoot, of the Senate Fi nance Committee. The bill, he de clared, lias been drawn upon the fal lacy that business in the country would continue the same as hereto fore, whereas, it. is being realized that it cannot be the same during the coming months. Senator .I.enroot, of Wisconsin, in attacking the appropriation of $20,- 000,000 in the post office for good roads development, stated that it sa vored of the pork barrel and sec tionalism and that he would vote for ft only because he hoped it would mean the providing of labor for the unemployed.
