Want Shoemaker Road.

In spite of the fact that the County
Commissioners have made arrangements
to use the county's proportionate share
of the money for the construction of
State, or Shoemaker Roads in Fred
erick county, another application has
been made for the construction of about
nine miles of this road in this section
OF the county connecting Urbana with
Monrovia. The request for the road
made on Monday, August 18th,
when a delegation of about ten persons
from that section of the county appeared
before the board. to give brief draft
OF their plans, showing that the prop
erty owners were willing to pay their
shares in the cost of construction, about
10 per cent.
II the road is constructed it has been
estimated in an offhand manner. that the
cost will be about $4,000 Ten per
cent. OF this will be paid by the residents
of the county. whose property adjoins
this road, 90 per cent. will be paid by
the county, and the other fifty per cent.
will be put up by the State.

town Fair.

The management OF the Hagerstown
Interstate Fair, after their successful ex.
hlbltlon OF year ago were met with the
perplexlng problem of how to secure
more space for their large and growing
exhibition. To buy additional land was
out OF the question as the prices asked
tor such as could be obtained were al
most prohibitive. To re-arrange the
grounds or certain portions thereof was
the course determined upon. after mature
dellberatlon. 1t was found that the area
within the race track, heretofore unused
because OF its inaccessibility, it being
dangerous to cross the track while rae
ing was in progress. contained about
thirteen acres, and it was felt that if this
ground could be used with safety. the
need for additional space would be sov-
ed tor years to come. In order to obtain
access 10 this in6eld, it was decided to
build subway or tunnel under the race
track. This tunnel or subway is now
completed and the lnfield or space with
IN the race track will be used for the
storage OF automobiles.
The fair will be held October 13th.
18th, 18th and 10Th, 1914.
Hereafter prisoners in the county Jail
who fall sick will be treated at the iaiI
instead of being removed to Montovue.
as has been the practice heretofore. The
County Commissioners have taken this
step in an effort TO save the county the
expense attendant upon the removal of
prisoners to Montevue. Two dollars is
the officers fee for transportation between
the two institutions.
Three cots, with bed clothing and pill
lows complete, were taken to the iail
Monday and corner of the building
fitted up as temporary hospital. The
Jail physician, DIR. William c. Johnson.
will treat the patients.
The number of prisoners removed to
Montevue on account of sickness. has
been heretofore about one every three or
four days.

THE INSTITUTIONS ORCHESTRA
BIZ Marco Polo

Two welcome Improvements greeted our
eyes and ears last Sunday in chapel. One,
the natty appearance of the members of the
other, the presentation and rendition of a
program which would do credit to any
similar outside organization.
The PIECE DE RESISTANCE, moonlight
Bay with the chorus accompanied vocal
ly by the musicians, was very tastely rem
dered and quite a novelty and departure.
This, of course. was played and sung in
the Introductory part of the program and
before the actual services began, and there
are many of us who appreciate the decision
of the musical director in charge to cut out
the lighter part of the program during the
SOlemnity of the services, and rendered on
" such music during that time as will be
in taste and appropriateness.
Another very noticeable improvement is
the adoption of the piano as part of the ac-
compartment. To do this, it has been
necessary to employ our friend. Nil Des-
perado, at the piano, thereby cutting out
one of the clarinets. But the loss of the
latter instrument is more than made up by
the piano, insofar as result of ENSEMBLE
and the harmonics go. Those of us who
will, in the course of the near future, join
the population at the new institution on
the St. Croix, will no doubt appreciate to
greater extent the Improvements manifested
by our local musicians when they are per-
forming under the acoustic conditions pos
sible in the splendid auditorium.

OLD PRISON NEWS NOTES
Breezy Pickups From Our Contributors
Several hundred shafting boxes are being
turned out on the jobbing floor.

Several hundred shafting boxes are being
turned out on the jobbing floor.
One of the operators on truck wheels
was on the sick list for few days; his
place being filled by c. T. d., one of the
brainy core room boys.
AS general rule it is thankless job to
pour on some one else's floor, and for that
reason l consider it advisable not to do SO;
and in the future will adhere to that policy;
for when the best molders in shop can
not pour to suit, it is time to quit trying
and let everybody pour their own floor. l
believe in helping all; carry the iron to
them and let them do the pouring; then if
the work is lost they can't blame anybody
but themselves.
The bench men in this shop are dong
exceptionally good lately, when you take
into consideration that foundry work is
new to all except one. With a few years
more experience they can take their place in
most any shop and hold their own. They
will pick up knowledge as to jobbing work
as the go along. Learn thoroughly the
work at hand, the other will come to you
in time. Machine molding, as most of
you know, is a prominent feature in the
molding trade and is in use in all large
shops in this country. 1t has come to
stay, so take advantage of this chance to
learn, it may be beneficial to you, anyhow
its no load to carry.
