operation was performed Sunday
afternoon, but in vain.

1O1 .2os,s15 In United States.

Census Bureau experts have esti-
mated that the population of the
United States on January l last was
101, ,2O8,S15 and that by July it
would be 102,O17,302. On July /,
last year, they figured the popula-
ton at 10O,399,318. Western
states have led in growth, Washing
ton headed the list with Oklahoma,
Nevada, North Dakota and New
Mexico following In the order
named. The bureaus estimates are
based on the rate of increase be-
tween the 1900 and 1910 censuses.
The population or Maryland on
January /, 1926, was 1,357,S74, an
increase of 5,4S3 over July 1, 1915,
when the population was 1,S51.s41.
The bureau also estimates that the
population of the state ON July 1,
1916, will be 1.362.S07. At this
rate of growth Maryland cannot
hope to have 1900 600 population
within less than quarter of CEN
tury.

Thieves Visited Chesapeake City But
Failed to Get Booty

Two wrecked doors and papers
strewn about the room apprised
Postmaster Andrew Beaston, of
Chesapeake City, Friday morning
that buring the night burglars had
forced an entrance and tried to loot
the place.
That large amount of registered
letters and stamps were not stolen
was due to Mr.. Beaston's habit OF
taxing all stamps and letters to his
home when he closes the postofdce
for the day.
The thieves made their entrance
to the postoffice through the milli-
merry shop of Mrs. d. A. Beauchamp,
which is next door and connected
with the postoflce by communicate
ing door. The front door OF the mill
linery store was forced and then the

Anniversary Poem.
(written by W. G. Koons)

Anniversary of Gold! of Gold!
Yet you don't seem very old,
Dreams of youth have lasted long,
Life has been like one sweet song.
Songs have minors, ups and downs,
Mixture make the sweetest sounds
Life would one great burden be
lit had no variety.
Fifty years ago today
Was your happy wedding day.
Happy bridegroom, sweetest bride,
Both with all things satisfied.
Years have added to your store,
Good things plenty, more and more,
Farm and home and hosts of friends,
Hope of life that never ends.
Children blest your union sweet,
Came to make your life complete,
Now they're grown 20 be mature,
Four have married two won't, sure.
Then grandchildren two have you,
Edgar Dare, the wise and true,
And that cute Virginia Dare
Not so many. but they're rare.
Happy family! in all
Not one crouch or savage growl;
Love and fellowship so sweet,
Makes our harmony complete.
Fifty years of marxied life
Fifty years of man and wife i!
Father true and Mother dear,
We bring you our brightest cheer.
You've been younger, yes, alack
Let the fleeting seasons roll;
He defeats the almanac
Who has Youth within his soul.
In the journey that you've trod,
You've had fellowship with God.
To His house your way have found
He with grace your lives has
crowned.
God has given length of days,
To live, to work, to walk His ways;
May He grant you many more,
To a full well-rounded store.
May your hearts be glad and free,
On this Anniversary,
May your cup full. overflow
And your joy no measure know.
Bright your future. as your past,
Love and hope unto the last;
Almanacs base lies do hold,
Youthful hearts can ne'er grow old,
May the hand of God. so true,
Lead you all your journey through,
Bring US all to gates Of gold.
Where our years Will be untold.
