TIE BIGGEST APPLE CROP

The biggest apple crop ever
known is said to be in sight for
1912. The New York journal Of
Commerce learns from apple men
who have earned something of a
reputation in predicting of the size
OF crops that probably 50,000,000
barrels Of apples will be marketed
this year, as against 30,000,000 bar
rals in 1911 Ia no state where
apples are grown is there the pres
pect of failure in New York.

gan the outlook is the best ever
known in Pennsylvania, Maryland,

pected than last year; in Arkansas,
Missouri, Kansas and Illinois the
yield promises to be larger than for
several years past.

The State Board of Health has
issued the following statement,
which explains itself:

warmer months. Numerous speci-

the following information will be of
value to all concerned:
1st. II any person or persons
have been bitten, the head packed
in ice may be sent to the Delaware
State Board Of Health Laboratory,
Newark, Delaware. by express, pre-
paid.
I'd. If animal has bitten per-
son, and can be securely chained
up for observation where he can do
no harm, this is very preferable to
killing the animal and submitting
the head for examination
In the first place. if the animal
was capable Of conveying the infec-
ton when he bit. he will develop
symptoms. and die within ten days
thereafter. An animal perfectly
well ten days after bitten could moi
have been rabid at that time.
In the second place. if the animal
is rabid at time Of biting. it is
sometimes too early in the disease
to detect the negri bodies. BY de.

oftentimes destroys his best evi

/ Sd. To prevent decomposition
the head should be packed in ict

tightly-sealed preserving jar, anc
properly packed. Personally deliv
cred, when possible, is desirable. 4

The Lincoln Monument.

The Maryland delegation in Congress
are preparing to pull off their coats and
get into the fight that will soon be waged
upon the report of the Lincoln Memorial
Commission. II was announced that the
report Of the Commission recommending
the erection OF monument in Washing
ton Potomac Park, on the banks of the
river, will be submitted to Congress not
later than March I. Those who are oD-
posed TO the monument plan, and espeCi-
ally TO the site that has been chosen BY
the Commission, have taken poll of the
House OF Representatives, and it is as
serted that majority Of the members are
against the adoption of the report
he Maryland Representatives seem to
be unit in backing up the project for a
memorial highway running from Wash
ington to Gettysburg. They have had
several estimates made of the cost OF
building such a road, and the highest
figures that have been submitted estimate
the cost of magnificent memorial high

provides for A "a foot macadam roadway.
with II feet of dirt roadway on either side,
and all bridges and culverts to be of con-
crete in artistic designs. As the appro-
priation made by Congress amounts to
s., 900, ooo. it is pointed out that the
memorial highway comes within the sum
Congress desires to expend.
Several routes for the highway through
Maryland are being advocated. One
would run directly north from Washing /
ton and would include the Olney pike. /
which consists Of 10 miles of the finest |
macadam roadway, and would pass /
through Uuonville. Another route would /
pass through Union Bridge and Westmin-
ster, while still another suggestion is that
he memorial highway could be made to
include Frederick. Those in favor of the
Frederick route claim that the acquisition

WE would advise the Frederick county
lawmakers at Annapolis to 90 slew rela
tive to the many bond issues which are
now pending before that body. Two
hundred and twenty. thousand dollars are
being asked for by bills now on file for
this city and county with an assurance Of
a strong increase in the State tax rate, as
more than $4,000, 900 is already asked.
1t will surprise our taxpayers when they
receive their tax bills in 1912, and see
what the progressive ideas of some of our
organizations will cost. That an increase
in rents will follow is certain as well as a
higher price for all kinds OF farm produc,
tons. The landlord will be sure to pro-
tect his investments, and the tenant must
submit to the increase in his rent. as he
has no alternative. We favor improve
m -nts. both in the city and county. but
this hastv rush for bond issues will appeal
to all as being unnecessary, and is only
a whim of the few, to gain notoriety as
progressives.

The Democrats have had few little

of Democratic tenets that have been

There has been some criticism of all the
investigations into the different depar'

when the people read the reports OF these
investigating committees, they Will ma
that the Democratic party in Congress has

Trolley Car Runs Over Boy.

Willie Keller, aged seven years, the
little son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Keller
No I6, East Second street, this city,
was severely injured by car number So,
of the Frederick Railway Company,
making it necessary to amputate his leg
between the ankle and the knee. The
accident occurred about noon near the
corner of Market and Second streets,
on Wednesday last. the 18th inst. No
accurate information as to how the aCCi.
dent occurred could be obtained but the
suppoSition is that the boy who was
PLAYING with some companions, ran
across the street. evidently not noticing
the approaching car, and when he saw
the near approach OF the Car attempted
to keep himself from going under by
throwing his hands to the side of the car,
as only one foot went under the wheels,
seems to give weight to the contention.
Motorman l.. F. HORNE, who was run
ming the car, said that he did not see the
boy, but was able TO bring the slowly
moving car 10 stop within a minute
when the cries warned him that an &C
cident had occurred. The conductor of
the Car, J. H. Esworthy, said after the
accident that he saw the boy running
after top or ball" he thought, directly
opposite the car wheel, and at once sig
nailed the motorman to stop.
The child, with the crushed limb, was
picked up by the motorman and then
taken by Mr.. Iohn F. Purnell, to Steiner
Bros. drug store, where it was seen that
nothing could he done without the assist
ance of the physician According to Mr..
Purnell the child was conscious all of the
time that he was carrying him and cried
to be taken home.
He wa> carried to the office Of Drs
Hendrix & Brown, and from there taken
to the Frederick City Hospital where
the limb was amputated by Drs. Me-
Curdy, F. B. Smith, Hendrix and Brown.
