And Yet That "RolI"
Had Seemed So Real!

The mind is capable OF embracing
almost any belief or conviction. And
the psychoanalysts tell us some of
these are revealed In dreams. Strange
ly, too, they claim we often forget our
most important dreams. Perhaps some
pyschoanalyst can explain this story,
which Is vouched for by Tim Crowley,
A friend Of Tins had a failing for
stuss For two years his losses at
this card game were the cause Of
regular Saturday night squabble with
his wife, But every tide turns some
time and one night Jim arrived home
with fine swagger and $500 in bills.
His long suffering spouse Immediately
seized the roll.
81 am going to keep this for all you
have lost she announced deter
minedly.
Jim had nothing to say, but noticed
that she put the money under the
pillow.
After they had retired Jim began to
think how, instead of winning $500,
he might have won $4,000 by playing
his luck stronger The idea gained
such strength that he slipped the
money from under the head of the
sleeping Mrs. Jim and with 1t sneaked
back to the game. A few hours later
he returned, having lost all, and
crawled into bed again without dis
turbing his mate.
He had been asleep only a short
time when his wife shook him.
"Jim, get upl" she said.
"What for?" he asked
II want you to get up early to take
that money to the bank for me-"
what money!" he asked, feigning
sleepiness while his mind worked fast.
why, the money you won last
night" she replied. "You aren't
awake yet"
you're talking crazy, woman" said
Jim, sitting up suddenly. II didn't
win any money last night. You've
been dreaming"
Mrs. Jim strobe to the bed, lifted
her pillow and strange look spread
over her face. AS she walked away
she muttered: who would believe
dream could seem so trueT"-New

Two Great Lights

The estate Of heavenly and earthly
things Is plainly represented to US by
the two lights of heaven, which are ap
pointed to rule the night and the day.
Earthly things are rightly resembled
by the moon, which, being nearest to
the region Of mortality, Is ever in
changes, and never looks upon us twice
with the same face; and, when IT Is

blots, not capable Of any illumination.

sun, whose great and glorious light is
both natural to Itself and ever con
stant.-Jeremy Taylor.

Speaker, Tells Of His Visit To

At their regular weekly dinner
meeting last Friday night the mem
bers of the Milford Rotary Club
were urged by the principal speaker,
Rev. D. w. Jacobs, to uphold the
Constitution of the United States
and to work for every portion of
that great covenant. He opened his
address by describing some of his
experiences while on his trip
through Europe, from which he has
just returned. The beautiful cathe-
drals of the larger cities of England,
France, Italy and other European
countries were described briefly. He
told of the excellent church build
ings in even the smallest of the vii
lagos in the countries across the
sea, and said the idea seemed to be
to impress the residents with the re-
ligious aspect of all undertakings.
He spoke of the great sacrifice made
during the world war by the small
lest of villages. In many places
with a population of less than 200
souls he saw monuments bearing the
names of from 20 to rs youths who
had given their lives for their cOun-

PREDICT BUMPER CROP
OF SWEET POTATOES
Reports From SeafOrd Say Crop Will
Be Large In That District

The prospects for a bumper yield
of sweet potatoes in southern Della
ware are excellent, according to re-
ports from growers in the vicinity
of Seaford, which is in the sweet
potato growing district. The past
season has been favorable to
Sweets" with just enough rain to
produce an immense crop. The pota-
toes should yield in the Seaford Sec
ton around 300 flve-eighth baskets
to the acre. In patches where the
potatoes have been dug down to the
yield shows from to 9 prime pota-
toes. Five prime Sweets" to the hill
is considered a crop. Reports from
the Salisbury, Nd, section show $50
to 300 hampers of prime potatoes to
the acre, with at least six weeks be-
fore the entire crop is harvested.
The average increase in yield from
the first to the last digging has
shown in past years an increase of
almost 100 per cent. With the bump
er crop expected in lower Delaware
the housing question will likely be
a problem. From present indica-
tions the digging Of the crop in this
section will begin about October 10.

HIGHWAY POLICE SEEK
GANG OF AUTO THIEVES
Increase In Number OF Stolen Cars
Blamed On BOOtleggers

Following the discovery of several
stolen automobiles abandoned on the
state roads and the reports of sever
al others that have been stolen,
members of the State Highway Po-
lice are concentrating their efforts
to capture a gang of automobile
thieves, believed to be working in
conjunction with rum-runners and
"hi-jackers" from Ocean City, Md,
to which point the theft of five au-
tomobiles has been traced during the
past week.
1t is thought by officials of the
State Highway Police that the cars
are being stolen in order that alco-
hol landed at points near Ocean City
may be distributed throughout the
Peninsula, and even into Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey. The belief is
fostered by the fact that most of the
cars stolen are of high-poWered
make.
At each of the five stations of the
State Highway Police, from Penny
Hill to Bridgeville, instructions have
been received from Superintendent
C. c. Reynolds for them to be on
the lookout for stolen machines.
many automobiles have
been reported stolen in Pennsylva-
MIA, New Jersey and Maryland, and
a strict watch has been ordered for
the troopers to look for them.
