TOMORROW

Have you ever stopped to think
That today is not so bad
It's the dread of dark tomorrow
That makes us glum and sad.
We're sure, somehow or. other,
We can make the present grade;
It's tomorrow's VeXing problem
OF which we're sore afraid.
And yet our past tomorrows-
Were they worse than our todays?
Was not the darkness riven
By hopes beguiling rays?
Might we then not curb our worries
By mindfulness always
That the God who makes tomorrOws
Is the God of our todays?

BLESSINGS
Let's ponder life's blessings, the stars
up above,
The birds and the flowers, the gifts
of Gods love.
Without the green grass and sweet
blooming trees,
The woodland and meadows, the
drOne of the bees.
The soft gentle rains, that refresh
and restore
More than anything else. when the
long days is DER.
And after the rain comes the sun,
smiling through,
Dark clouds will all scatter, God in
tends for them to.
Wouldn't this be ust a weary old
place
To work and to struggle for the
whole human race,
And if you are blue, downhearted
and sad,
Look all around you, the old worlds
not half bad.
Go ont in the stiffness, the country
side roam,
Gaze on nature around you, then
wend your way home.
Be happy and bright, there's a work
planned for you,
Try helping others, twill prove a
blessing true.

HIJACKERS GET LOAD OF
LIQUOR
Six Men Hold Up Driver Near
Glasgow, Delaware

|
The story of how armed
thugs hijacked a $1,000 truck
load of liquor on the Glasgow
Elkton road on Wednesday
night last is related.
The truck was driven off and
has not been located. The
driver who was held up, has
also disappeared.
The hijacking occurred when
the truck was passing through
a wooded section two miles
west of Glasgow. A car con-
tanning six armed men, pulled
up alongside it and ordered the
driver to stop and get down,
Covering the driver with sawed
off shotguns, they took him
some distance down the road
where they told him to enter
the woods and gave him ten
seconds to get out of sight.
While he fled into the woods,
one of the thugs fired at him
and he stumbled against a
barbed wife fence, severely cut
ting himself. Meanwhile, con-
federates of the hiJackers
drove the truck off in the di-
rection of Elkton.
The driver, whose name was
not learned, walked into Glas-
gov, where, it is said, he tele-
phoned a Newark, N. j., num-
Der and informed some one of
what had taken place.
After telephoning, he went
to Wilmington, where it is be-
lieved he took a train for New
ark, N. j. He said at the ga
rage, that he thought the car
containing the hijackers had
trailed the truck all the way
from Newark, N. j., and that
he, himself, had been accom-
panied by an armed guard as
far as Wilmington.
He also said he lost a gun
and SIS in the woods. The
gun was found. He refused to
report the incident to the po-
lice.

FARM BUILDINGS DE-
STROYED
Amos Burlin Visited BY Fire
For The Third Time

For The Third Time
Fire visited the premises Of
Amos Burlin, near Port De.
post, for the third time within
the past few years, on Wednes-
day afternoon last, when the
barn, wagon shed and other
smaller buildings on his farm
were completely destroyed, to-
gether with contents, includ-
ing hay, wheat, straw, machin-
cry, etc.
The fire companies from
Rising Sun and Port Deposit
were called to the scene, but
there was no water with which
to fight the flames and the
burning structures were doom
ed before their arrival.
The firemen devoted their
efforts to saving the nearby
dwelling which was on fire
several times and the house
hold effects were carried out.
By the use of chemical streams
from the two engines the fire
men finally won their hard
fight and saved the dwelling.
Mr.. Burlin estimates his loss
at $4,000, with an insurance of
$4,000.
The burned barn had recent
ly been re-roofed with a metal
roof.
Mr.. Burlin has been particu-
larly unfortunate from fire, his
dwelling having been destroy
ed on one occasion, and some
months ago badly damaged by
fire, and now comes 4he loss of
his barn. The origin of the
fire has not been deter mined.
