This summer is the time to get your section of the county drilled for oil. While attention i. turned this way is the best time to induce capital to drill. Next year the interest may be else- where and your big opportunity might be passed for a long time. Properly blocked acreages will get a test in most any section of the county at this time. Strike while the iron is hot. A dozen tests has just twelve times the chance of opening field as one.

Wise nature works by the law of contrasts-action and reaction. Sun shine and rain alternate The change of seasons goes on forever Other wise, there'd be no growth, no life.
 This applies to our personal lives, which are inexorably governed by laws.
 We get an of day or run of bad luck" That corresponds to rain and clouds. Our sky is overcast. All looks gloomy, hopeless.
 At such times, if we'd only pause to think, wed realize that the clouds eventually will clear and the sun beam down out of a bright sky.
 We crave continually happiness. But it's a good thing we don't have it. For constant happiness would soon become monotonous we'd not be able to ap- preciate it, because we'd not have any contrast for comparison.
 Perfect health would not bring real joy unless you had sickness or pain to look back to and say: Gosh, but I feel great today compared with when l had a headache or the flu"
 The psychology of lovers bliss at making up" after quarrel is all a matter of this law of contrasts.
 We cannot appreciate and enjoy prosperity unless we have had hard times for comparison That's why the man who has to fight his way up from poverty gets a thrill and enjoyment never known to the lap-dog of luxury who inherits his fortune.
 Providence has a wise purpose in sending troubles to us. If we permit cur troubles and annoyances philoso- phically, we find later that they were preparatory-to make us appreciate and enjoy the sunshine that follows the cloudy day

YOUR TROUBLES

The wisest thing we have read for months appears on a cigar company's calendar: All sunshine makes a desert."
 Socrates would have nodded his head and started talking for a week. plenty of it. But if they get too much they become parched and die. Where there's nothing but sunshine, you find a desert.
 We grumble at the rain and it's clouds, but without it we would soon be living in adesert, without trees, grass, water or crops And then we too, would die.

REPORT SHOWS CLUB
WORK PROFITABLE
Review Of Five Years Activities Of
Boys An a Girls Clubs Shows
Net PE Ofit Of $41,5S7.26.
OBTAIN PRACTICAL RESULTS
State Lead er In His Report Says
Children Who Have Enrolled
Have Become Leaders.

A review of five years of organized
Boys and Girls Club work contained
in the annual report of A. D. Cobb,
State Club Leader, which has just
been made public, disclOses the rather
remarkable fact that in that time there
have been enrolled 1884 individual
boys and girls who have completed
5,21S demOnttration projects in agri-
culture and home making. In these
demonstrations the boys and girls
have produced products valued at
Sill ,236.77, at a cost of S69.659.5l
leaving a profit to them of S41,587.26.
The report further shows that in
this five year period one out OF every
five rural boys and girls in the State
has been enrolled in a Junior EXten-
sion project and that club work has
been done in practically every COM
munity in the State. There are only
four paid workers, a State Club Lead
er and three County Club Agents,
who are members of the Extension
Department lof the University of Del
aware.
The report points out the fact that
club work encourages boys and girls
TO become interested in practical farm
and home work, and at the same time
gives them valuable instruction in bet
ter and more economical methods
Club work is not school work and in
stead, of being required and taught in
class rooms, is open to all rural boys
and dirls from 10 to 21 years of age,
who barry out their projects at home
and bitten in cooperation with their
narenlts. Projects have been adapted
TO the section of the State and the
in which the boy and
girl lives. Instruction is given by
printed matter and group demOnstra-
lions Iby leaders.

AN ARREST MADE in
RECENT SHOOTING CASE
HaIstead Layton Accused OF Being
Implicated In Attempted HOldup
Of Ex-GOvernOr's Son.

Halstead Layton, son of Landreth
L.. Layton, one of the best known res
idents of Georgetown, was served with
a Warrant last Saturday on the charge
of assault with intent to commit muir
der. He waived a hearing and was
released on $500 bail by Magistrate
Wilson, of Georgetown, to await the
action of the Sussex County Grand
Jury. The charge placed against young
Layton is the aftermath of an attempt
recently to hold up an automobile in
which Paul Townsend, son of ex-Gov-
ernor John G. Townsend, and Todd
Beauchamp, son of the Rev. T. F.
Beauchamp, also of Selbyville, were
riding near Georgetown. The two
young men had been to Milford to at
tend a basketball game, and were re-
turning to their homes in Selbyville
when the attempted holdup is alleg-
ed to have taken place. When nearing
Georgetown the occupants of the car
decided that they needed gasoline and
turned off the concrete road to go into
Georgetown to get the gas.
When in "DOgtown," at the northern
entrance of Georgetown, a man walk
ed out toward the car and shot at the
car. Bullets lodged near both of the
occupants, and persons who saw the
car state that it is a miracle that they
were not hit by the bullets. It is this
trouble that Layton is alleged to have
been mixed up in.

SLEET STORM DAMAGES
THE TELEPHONE LINES
Worse Storm Of Season In Northern
Part Of Delaware Greatly
Handicaps Business.

Smyrna and all parts of the state
north of that town were isolated from
lower Delaware on Wednesday morn
ing as the result of one of the worse
sleet storms in years. Telegraph and
telephone wires were broken down,
and communication with points north
was badly handicapped. What use was
made of the telephone lines was by
routing the calls through Baltimore
and Maryland towns. The storm start
ted about o'clock on Wednesday
morning and the rain and sleet froze
to the trees and wires as rapidly as
it fell. Between Middletown and Smyr-
ma the storm was especially severe. A
large number of poles were down.
Persons from down state who visit
ed the northern part of the state on
Wednesday state that the broken
trees very much resembled n scene of
a locality through which a hurricane
had passed. Broken trees, poles and
wires were scattered about every
where. In the northern part of the
state this damage was caused by the
heavy wind breaking the trees and
wires because of the excessive ice.
Lower Delaware had no sleet, and
no damage was done.

FIRE De- STROYS BUILDINGS
On The Farm OF William Bradley
Near FELTON, On Monday.

Fire, of unknown origin, destroyed
all the outbuildings on the farm own
ed by William T. Bradley, of FELTON,,
and tenanted by his son, Samuel Brad
ley, late Monday afternoon. The farm
is located about half a mile from
Rioe's School, near FELTON,. The fire
was discovered about four o'clock by
persons who were aiding Mr.. Brad
ley in threshing clover seed. When
first discovered the flames were in
the rear of the barn. The clover was
being th1eshed by a gasoline tractor
and it was impossible for it to have
set the hay in the loft on fire. 1t is
mystery just how the fire started. Al
though the men present made siren
uOus effort to extinguish the blaze, the
flames rapidly gained headway and
soon the building was doomed. They
then turned their efforts to saving the
and live stock in the near
by buildings.
From the barn the flames leaped to
the stables, machinery houses, sheds
and potato house. All of these were
totally destroyed. In the barn was
about 300 bushels of corn, most of
HUI was u6SCIOySu' AL VI INC SSOu
sweet potatoes which Mr.. Bradley had |
Kept back for this years bedding were
llso destroyed. Fortunately practical
y all of the machinery, and Ill of the
i've stock were saved.
Calls for assistance were made to |
he Harrington Fire Company, and the |
Carlisle Fire Company, of Milford. |
Both companies responded, but when
hey arrived the buildings were DOOM

ing house, however, and were ready
o fight with chemicals any fire which

were practically new ones.
