new demands that have come, With
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression. our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of 1920
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food TO Europe In the coming
year--ss much as can be pushed
through our ports.
IL the Allies had not been fed by
America, 1t would have been impos-
sible for them TO maintain their de-
Tense gainst Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely

CUMBERLAND VALLEY
BOLD ATTEMPT
TOSTEAL AUTO
Owner of Machine Walks Up
While Stranger Tries to
Start the Engine

Waynesboro. Pa, April 3.-Auto-
mobile thieves again visited Waynes-
boro, but were foiled in their attempt
to escape with a handsome machine
through the timely appearance of DR.
]. w. Croft.
On Saturday evening DR.. Croft was
summoned to the home of a patient
living near the post office. He took
his automobile from the garage and
arriving at Center Square, left his
car in front of the Cranwell build
ing and went to the home of his pa
tient. When he returned a few min
utes later he saw another automobile
standing near his and man in his
machine endeavoring TO start the en-
glne. The doctor asked the stranger
what he was doing.
I'm having trouble with the
starter" the thief retorted.
DO you know whose machine that
is?" questioned DR.. Croft.
"Oh, hell" replied the stranger,
don't you think 1 know my own ma
chine?"
We'll. you don't this time" said
DR.. Croft. That one belongs to me-
No sooner had he uttered the
words than the thief sprang from
DR.. Croft's machine into the other
automobile nearby, which had been
made ready to leave in an instant,
and away the thieves flew out of
East Main street toward the BLUE
Ridge mountains.
DIR. Croft. at the time, was so
struck with surprise that he did not
give the alarm Immediately and this
enabled the thieves to make good
their escape.
1t is reported that Councilman j.
Elmer Frantz had a similar expert
ence while on a visit to Hagerstown
in his touring car several weeks ago.
Mr.. Frantz had left his automobile
standing along the street and when
he returned later found a man in the
machine trying to start 1t.
When Mr.. Frantz walked up he
said to the stranger, That's my ma
chine, and it's locked; I have the
key"
"'Nuff said" the thief bounded out
of the automobile and disappeared in
the crowd in the street.
Several weeks ago s. Elmer Beeler
had his automobile stolen from his
garage, east of town, during the
night. and it has never been recov-
cred.
