This time of the year literally

good way to do it is to serve peach
cake "sunny side up" In other
words a peach upside down cake.
Thanks to the person or persons
who decided that fruits should be
canned, this bit of spring can be had
all year round as either canned or
fresh peaches can be used.

NEGRO SHOT WHILE TRY
ING PRISON ESCAPE

William Brannock, Negro, was shot
twice as he attempted to escape from
Police Officer James Leonard on
Washington Street, Cambridge, Md.
Brannock and Vernon Taylor, an
other negro, had escaped from the
Dorchester county prisoners working
on the county roads several weeks
ago and had been the object of wide
spread search since that time.
Sunday night the authorities receiv
ed word that the Negroes were in
Cambridge and Officer Leonard and
Deputy Sheriff Waldo Robinson went
out in search for them. They locat-
ed them in the vicinity of Washington
street, and when the Negroes saw the
two officers, they tried to make their
escape. Taylor hid in the dump on
Washington street, but was routed by
Deputy Sheriff Robinson and carried
to the county Jail.
Brannock ran from Officer Leon
ard who had told him to stop, but
he failed to heed the warning and
the officer was forced to shoot him
in order to capture him. However,
the wounds are not of serious ma
ture, one bullet hitting him in his left
foot and the other hitting him in the
right leg.
He was carried to the Cambridge
Maryland Hospital, where he is still
a patient.

RIVERS BRINK

The Rivers Brink" was compos-
ed by Parson Jack Wootten follow
ing a siege of double pneumonia. He
says he could recite the whole thing
before he ever wrote line on paper.
Composing one verse one day, and
running over it a number Of times
while convalescing, then next day an
other. He and his wife were in Will
mington General Hospital for three
weeks, in March, 1881.
We've been down to the rivers brink,
My dear companion and I;
Too ill were we to even think
To bid our friends goodbye;
Too weak to worry, too sick to see
Just what dangers there might be;
Of only this: were we aware
That God Himself was really there?
We've been down to the rivers brink,
Our friends knew we were there;
They brought us flowers, purple and
pink,
Beautiful, fragrant, rare;
Aroma seemed to fill the room
With coincidence in every bloom;
With such fragrance in the air,
We could not doubt, God was there.
We've been down to the rivers brink,
Where the waters were dark and
deep;
But of its dregs we did not drink,
Nor on its bosom sleep,
For some cause we did remain,
Health and strength to slowly gain;
And how our friends did offer prayer,
And God assured us he was there.
We've been down to the rivers brink,
Very near our journeys end;
But our friends, of us, did think,
And many a card, did send.

Others with their gifts of gold,
Of their compassion, plainly told;
And choicest fruits, beyond compare,
All convinced US God was there.
We've been down to the rivers brink
Where nurses walked on tip-toe;
Speaking with nod and wink,
And whispering very low;
Doctor, faithful as could be,
Worked both long and patiently;
But he admits, twas not his care
So much as that God was there.
We've been down to the river brink,
Where, again, some days We'll go;
IT'S written with indelible ink
Tho the day, we do not know;
But whether it be far or near,
We will have no cause to fear;
If again we're both aware
That God Himself is really there.

OLIVER WISWELL
By Kenneth Roberts

The crucible of the Revolution
which produced America was not
alone matter of the Colonies
against England, but Of the Colon
ials against each other. There were
loyalists as well as rebels-men and
women who believed that a new
world could be built without the
bloodshed and suffering that war
with England entailed.
Out of the conflict, Kenneth Ro-
berts has written his greatest novel,
Oliver Wiswell, in which the hither-
to little-known and profoundly mis-
understood loyalist cause is bodily
and dispassionately set forth. He
has taken as his canvas the Ameri-
can, English and French world Of
the late eighteenth century. His
characters form a teeming cross
section of that world-generals and
light ladies, scholars, adventures,
fighters with guns and fighters
with ideas, great men and little
men, knaves and heroes. Full of ac-
ton and great battles, some i'm
perfectly known, some almost lost
in history, the novels descriptive
and narrative style is that which
has made Kenneth Roberts Ameri-
cas- outstanding historical writer.
Be it Bunker Hill or the battles of
Long Island, the political intrigues
of the British or the aftermath Of
the struggle Kenneth Roberts en-
dows these pages with an epic
quality surprising anything he has
yet done.
In Oliver Wiswell, Yale under
graduate sincerely loyal to the es-
tablished government of the Colon
les, through whom the story Is
told, the author has created char
acter whose steadfast loyalty to his
ideals and passion for justice and
truth make him a synod of the
best forces in every nation.

Metropolis or Podunk-What Difference?-

Mobilization for the economic defense Of st.
Cloud has become problem for stream-lined action
for the of county seat, in an attempt
to stem the flow of money from that city to the
Twin Cities A large number of st. Cloud women
assembled recently to formulate the program out
lined to get people to trade at home-n st. Cloud.
Sometime ago such program was instituted in
st. Paul. and if it is important to those cities, 1t is
of great Importance to the smaller cities and ham,
let's insofar stocks available concerned Some
times there may be extenuating circumstances where
a person must go to other city to buy-but just
realize if you can, the prosperity that could be had
under a mobilization for economic defense of our
city as we'll. Realize, if you will, the greater OPP
portunty for better service; the greater opportunity
for a better home town.
We believe that the mobilization for economic
defense among the women of the community is
great move, one which should bring results-for
after all they the buyers-they know what mer-
chandise they want to buy and what merchandise
they need Yes, the women of Sank Centre have as
great an opportunity for the mobilization of economic
defense as have those of Metropolis or Podunk.

Johns Place is truly small town.
