BANDITS TAKE AUTO
Cause Wilmer Cameron to Give Up
His Pontiac-Had Kidnapped
Policeman With Them

Wilmer Cameron. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Cameron, and Miss
Adrian Fite, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Aldus Fite, residents of Fulton
Township, were stopped in thei1
auto about midnight one night last
week when near the home of Leon
Fite, Penn Hill, and their auto taken
by bandits. The young folks were
returning from trip to Quarryville
The highwaymen-two men and q
woman-had been stopped earlier in
the evening by Patrolman Russell
Troup and Joseph Curran, of York,
o nthe Lincoln Highway east of Lam
caster, for violating speed law
They were not able to produce regi-
stration cards, and the officers di-
rected them to return to the sub
station in Lancaster. .Curran went
ahead on his motorcycle, while
Troup went in the car that proved
later to be that of highwaymen, who
made him prisoner. In Lancaster
they did not follow the motorcycle
closely and turned onto another
street and got away, Curran not
knowing for sometime afterwards
that they had given him the slip.
The bandits went thru Quarry
vile on their way to Baltimore.
When they caught up to the Cam
eron Pontiac car they made the pa
trolman blow his whistle, causing
Cameron, who is 16 years of age, to
stop. One of the robbers and the
patrolman got into the car, making
Cameron and Miss Fite take the
back seat.
Beyond New Texas they turned
into a side road and ordered Gamer
on and Miss Fite to get out, on op-
posite sides of the car. After TAX
ing the young mans license cards
and money they left them and told
them to remain there two hours or
they would be shot. Soon as they
started the young people went to
the home of Jesse Monger, who took
them to Lutman's store at New
Texas where they phoned to the
State police.
When near Conowingo the bandits
stopped and left their old car and
were considering killing the patrol
man, when the woman interceded
and suggested taking him along as
far as Baltimore. When reaching
that city he was freed and notified
police authorities and Lancaster.
He came back to Lancaster the fol-
lowing day.
A search is being conducted in
several states for this bold trio.
They had machine gun and four
or five revolvers with them, the pa
trelman's revolver being included.
The men are about 23 and " years
of age. The woman has bobbed
hair.

Ye editor is enjoying CD a vacal
ton, his first in many a day. He is
in the Hospital. The Midland
Journal will not suffer through his
enforced idleness, but is in capable
hands, and will doubtless be all the
more enjoyed by its readers, because
of the change of diet, as that dished
up for years by us must necessarily
have become rather monotonous.
We deeply appreciate the many
inquiries of our friends, the kindly
expressions of sympathy, letters and
beautiful flowers we have received,
which have done much to cheer us
and help relieve the monotony OF
this irksome experience.

WHEN FARM PEOPLE GO TO
THE POLLS
By Sam H. Thompson, President OF
the American Farm Bureau
Federation

| tHS ALnSIlCdA dk m DuISdu
Federation
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton is not in politics. 1t is nom
partisan. 1t numbers among its
members Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. The Farm Bureau has no in
terest in the welfare of any political
party. 1t stands squarely on one
platform and that is, the develop
policy which will provide for Amer
ican agriculture the same assistance
and aid which is providtd by the
government of this country for in
dustry, for labur and for commerce.
When farm people of the nation go
to the polls on November g., they
should study carefully the record,
made available through the Farm
Bureau, of the men and women they
are to vote for and should cast their
ballots for those whose record as
sures the support of such an agricul-
tural policy.
There will be fanatics and crusa-
ders who will seek to becloud the
issues. Farm people will disre-
gard this, knowing that there is but
one dominant issue.
Farm people will be told by those
opposing farm progress that they
should not seek relief from govern
ment agencies but should find their
relief in better production methods,
in more successful farming prac-
tices.
But we well know that it is i'm
possible for us to MAINTAIN an Amer
lean standard of living which was
originally created and is, in turn,
maintained through government
agences, if we are forced to dispose
of the product of our toll at world
standard price. Until the funda-
mental cause is acknowledged and
the evil uprooted, agriculture can
not be well. Headache tablets and
sleeping powders in the form of in
creased loans and other impractical
subsidy schemes may dope agricul-
ture into a semblance of temporary
repose but they will never meet the
situation.
This great farmers organization
The American Farm Bureau Fed
eration-with it's 200 local units,
it's 1900 county Farm Bureaus and
its state federations, has contended
that is is a sound business policy to
meet the situation by asking that
the government not only be required
to give the necessary assistance to
cooperative marketing agencies but
that facilities be provided that will
permit the spreading of the cost OF
handling the American crop surplus
over the entire marketed unit of
the commodity. Such plan will
avoid governmental subsidy or any
drawing on the national treasury
to put the American farmer on the
dole system.
For seven years we have labored
to secure the adoption of such
plan. Each year has brought us
nearer to the goal. Each year we
have created and secured facilities
that have relieved the situation to a
certain extent. The present prob
lem, grave as it is, is nothing to
what the situation would be if it had
not been for ten years of organized
effort l have every confidence that
the coming year will see the solution
of this problem and will find the
American farmer placed on a plane
of equality with labor, industry and
commerce.

And then Mrs. Milburn began to
quote something that had familiar
ring: IF then He so clothe the
grass, which is today in the field
and tomorrow is cast into the oven.

Dan looked up from the sporting
pages Of the Sunday newspaper.

began to clear away the breakfast
things.

Emmy went upstair to make the

stood wide open as if the little place
were waiting for him. Some short.
stubby pencils lay on the brown
deal table beside a drawing block.
A filled oil lamp stood there too.
He may run in some night and
want to go up there and work for
an hour or So" Mrs. Miburn had
said to Emmy the day after his
wedding. I'll keep 1t for him, any
way. It's always been his ROOM"
The house seemed curiously empty
and quiet without him although he
never had made very much noise in
it. But he had had way of being
on hand when 1t was time to bring
wood in from the shed in the back
yard, or time to bank down" the
furnace for the night. He had
brought home magazines every now
and then, too. And sometimes on a
Saturday night he had taken his
mother and Emmy to the pictures
1t was no wonder that they
missed him.
At one o'clock Grandmother
Pentland came driving up to the
house. She walked as II she were
tired, and her eyes were heavy-lid-

weeks, just as Mariana said she
had. She was no more like her usu-

saw the look of dismay that came
into her eyes.
But Mr.. Milburn took the news
with a fine show of indifference.

in-law a sharp look. I'VE we're 60

been planning right along to get out
as soon az we see house we'd like

Grandmother Pentland was silent.
She had been hearing that the al
burns were going to leave Flower

the neighborhood first started to 60
down.

pause. young Bill tells me that Jim

Two days before Christmas Emmy
met once more the man who looked
like Robb Hollis.
She came upon him quite unex-
pectedly In a crowd of Christmas
shoppers outside the Bazaar Store
on lower Euclid avenue. Five min
utes before she had been wondering
If she would ever see him again -
and then, all at once. there he was
face to face with her in the rain
swept street.
She couldn't speak for an instant.
The suddenness of the meeting took
her breath away.
Hello. Mr.. Spaulding." she said
when she found her voice, and Won
dered at the shadow of perplexi.y
that went swiftly across his face.

Baldwin," Emmy echoed. What
did he mean?
"Yes-I said my name is Baldwin
not spaulding." he told her again
crisply.
While Emmy stood staring at him
he caught her arm in his. Look
