Governor Townsend has ac-

Liberty Loan Committee to pur-
chase the first Liberty Bond in this
State. standing on the steps of the

thought of it takes us back so, back
to the very beginning of this State

when Delaware troops marched
forth from Dover Green with its
historic State House as back

our federal constitution, with Della
wares proud distinction of being
the first; back to dark and trying

What Happens
When We Try 1t
John RudemeVer

BY John Rudemeyer
Oh, say, can you sing from the
start to the end,
What so proudly you stand for,
when orchestras play it;
When the whole congregation IN
voices that blend,
Strike up the grand hymn, and
then torture and Stay it?
How they below and shout, when
they're first starting out,
But "the dawn's early light" finds
them foundering about.
otis the Star Spangled Banner, !"
they're trying to sing,
But they don't know the words of
the precious old thing.
Hank, 1.-The twilight's last CLEAN
ing" has some of them stop
ped,
But the valiant survivors press
forward serenely,
To "the raparts we watched,
where some others are drop
ped,
And the loss of the leaders is
manifest keenly.
Then "the rockets red glare
gives the bravest a scare,
And there's few left to face
"bombs burst in air."
IT'S a thin line of heroes than man
age to save
The last of the verse and "th'
home of the brave"
