Confederate Songs Sold For Mo
nocacy Marker.

That the unveiing Of the marker of the
Fitzhugh Lee Chapter, United Daugh
tiers of the Confederacy on July oth--the
fiftieth anniversary of the Battle
Of the Monocacy-might be a GER
tainty, Charles H. Hagan, a grandson of
Confederate veteran, and Walter H
Duvall, relative of a Confederate vet
eran, and a Southern sympathizer, are
taking orders for War Songs and Po-
ems of the Confederacy," a production
of which Mr.. H. M. Wharton is the au-
thor.
The young men are selling the books
for the Daughters of the Confederacy
free, and from the number of orders that
have been received it is thought that
quite nice sum will be realized. The
two men have been canvassing the city at
odd hours for the past week or so and
have taken as many as twenty orders in
one day.
The work is quite famous aud contains
all of the old battle songs and poems
which were on the lips of the soldiers OF
the Confederacy during their campaigns.
The work is dedicated TO General John
B. Gordon. Mr.. Wharton was private
in General Gordon's command during
the Civil War.
Now the members of the chapter are
devoting their time TO the collection Of
funds. and it was reported a few even
ings ago, that about $500 is in bank to
the credit of the chapter. Nothing has
been decided as TO the style of the
marker that will be erected, nor has the
matter of prce been considered.
1t is the plan TO erect an elaborate
marker if enough funds can be procured.
Nothing will be done about the selec-
ton of the marker until we have all the
money that can be collected" said
member of the chapter.

43 Prisoners Now in the Freder
ick Jail.

The Frederick County Jail Tuesday
contained 43 prisoners, just one less than
it contained Monday, but even at this
the number is high water mark for some
years. Monday eight prisoners were dis
charged from the institution, but as fast
as the prisoners left there was another to
take the place of the departing brothers.
1t is said that three years ago there
were TO be found an unusually large num-
Der OF prisoners in the Jail, but not for
probably the past decade has there been
such gathering of those charged with
some infraction of the criminal laws Of
the State and city, as at present.
Sheriff Conard is caring for the multi
tude the best he can, and while condi
tons are somewhat crowded he states
he still has room for more. Even with
this number Of prisoners, practically all
sleep on the tier the row of ten cells
with balcony to the front. There is a
row OF cells on the lower floor, or base
ment, but the prisoners do not desire to
sleep here because it is rather cold The
prisoners are allowed TO sleep from three
to five in each cell, and each prisoner is
given one blanket for covering.
The third tier of ten cells is kept for
women who may be taken to the Jail. AT
present only two women are -confined to
this department. and they have plenty OF
breathing room and sufficient space in
which to exercise.
Each prisoner in the Jail must be up
bright and early, as about O'Clock is the
official breakfast hour at the Jail, and at
this time each prisoner is given supply
of food which would make several meals
for the average citizen. AT this time one
loaf OF bread, one pound of cooked meat,
aud halt gallon Of coffee is given each
inmate. AT II a. m. halt a gallon OF
bean soup Is also given each inmate.
The prisoners get no other food during
the day and upon this diet they are ex-
pected to spend the time they remain in
Jail. Most OF the prisoners eat a small
amount for breakfast and keep the re-
mainder for the other portions of the day,
and in almost every cell and about the
various steam pipes one can see small
buckets, etc, hung about, in order to
warm the food about meal time. The
number of colored and the number OF
white prisoners is about the same.

After being bIockaded for more than
four days. the two miles ef road leading
from Lime Kiln station to Point of

Favors Maryland Week Exhibit
Here.

That the Maryland Week Exhibit, of
nextyear should be held in the Freder-
ick Armory, and that each year the ex-
hibit should be held at some point in the
State, other than Baltimore. was the as
sertion of DR.. Richard S. Hill, director of
Farmers Institute for Maryland. who was
here conducting the institute which closed
Friday.
DR.. Hill expressed his belief that agri-
cultural conditions throughout the State
could be better stimulated by having the
display in some particular section Of the
State in which agriculture is paramount.
He admitted TO have the display here,
might be far away for the men OF the
Eastern Shore, but stated the difference
in transportation costs would be compar-
atively small, and stated that on the next
year the display might be made on the
Eastern Shore, and by this means the
difference would be equalized.

Dried Fruits Both Useful and
Cheap.

Housewives are overlooking verv nu-
tritious and economical diet in dried
fruits, according to the Department of
Agriculture. Dried fruits, it says, are
especially useful when the supply of fresh
fruits is limited. Besides being useful
alone, they may be mixed into cakes,
puddings, confectionery and other dishes.
Studies recently conducted by the De-
partment experts show dried fruits 20 be
an economical article of diet Fruit pro-
ducts in general contain little protein, it
is stated, but as sources of energy, de-
rived almost entirely from their sugar,
dried fruits are decidedly cheaper than
meats and compare favorably with dairy
products.
Under no circumstances" says the
Department, "should fresh and dried
fruits be considered luxury, since they
supply the needed nutritive materials as
an integral part Of the diet, besides add
ing to the attracuveness of the daily fare.
The amount of dried fruit produced in
this country increased SIS per cent be-
tween 1899 and 1909. California produc-
es more than four-fifths of the yearly out
put. 1t is estimated that each person
consumes on an average five or six
pounds of dried fruit year. The value
of the product rose between 81, 600, 600 to
over $2I, 600, 900 in 10 years. The aver
age wholesale price, however, has not
advanced with the increased demand; on
the contrary it has dropped from 51z to
about AZ cents per pound.

Delegates Want to Aid Teachers

A report of the work of the Educa-
tional Department of the Civil Club, Mrs.
Hammond Urner chairman. was an in
teresting feature of the monthly meeting
of the CIVIC Club held Monday afternoon
at the Y. M. c. A. At previous meet
ing the Civic Club had decided to enlist
in campaign for an increase in the SAL
aries of teachers, the members feeling
that the teachers have been rather unfair
ly treated in the matter Of salaries and
that this tends to injure the efficiency Of
the teaching force. Letters were read
from the local members of the legislature
who replied to the communications OF
the Civic Club.
Delegate Nelson replied favorably say
ing that the appeal of the Civic Club in
regard to higher salaries for teachers met
with his hearty approval. He was i'm
pressed that the teachers should receive
salaries commensurate with the services
rendered. He said he would rather see
the teachers adequately paid during their
service rather than pension them after a
certain period.
