County Auditors Ready to Report

After a minute examination of the
books and finances of the county, the
Frederick County Auditing Commission
ofwhich Jesse P. King, is chairman, has
completed Its work.
Until after the reports come from the
press nothing will be given out to the
newspapers concerning the findings of
the auditors This is mutual
agreement among the members of
the board. The members of the board
feel that the results of the work should
be given to the public through the adj
vertislng medium as provided by the
Maryland Legislature, creating the
board Three thousand of the reports
will be printed. One half of this number
will be mailed to the various leading
citizens OF the county and the

mated that the county's system of financ
ing may come IN for good overhauling,
although President King was absolutely
n-committal on the subject when he
was asked for a synopsis of the report.
He declared that he had nothing what

1914 Chsutauqua Now But q
Memory.

Nothing but vacant field is now
found where for the past week Fred
ericks Chautauqua tent stood. Mon
day nights program concluded the
weeks entertainment and despite the
steady downponr throughout the night
the immense tent was taken down and
packed and sent to another town to
again do the duty there.
1t seems reasonably certain that Fred
erick next year will have a Chautauqua
When Monday nights entertainment
closed, about 800 pledges had been re-
ceived nor tickets for another year
There were also about 20 men willing
to guarantee the Chautauqua for an
other year, based upon the proposition
that so guarantors be secured. 1t was
pointed out that the situation as to the
number of pledges for tickets and the
number of guarantorS this year stands
inst about as it did last year when the
Chautauqua closed.
The one great disappointment on
Monday night was the failure of Hon.
William B. Wilson, Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, to appear upon the
platform for his lecture industrial
Peace" 1t was stated that he had
missed his train from Washington. Mrs.
Bertha Smith-Titus, the Chautauqua
Superintendent stated that she was very
sorry, that the lecture could not be
given. but stated that she believed that
the Chautauqua Association would en-.
deavor to secure him for a nights en-
tertainment for the Frederick citizens in
the near future, or would give an addi-
tional speaker on next years program.

War Shuts Down the Copper
Market.

The marketing OF thrty-fve tons Of
copper concentrate Of the New London
mine, OF the United Milling, Mining and
Copper Company, of Frederick county
has been temporarily held up because of
the present European War. All expor-
tations Of copper from the United States
with the declaration of war in Europe
practically stopped for the present time.
All of the copper mines in this country
have cut their production down mater
tally. The mines along Lake Superior
produce only about so per cent. OF their
normal output.
The concentrate of the New London
mine is now ready for shipment. 1t is
particularly rich because Of the new vein
which was unearthed at the 3oo-foot
level. No prices are being quoted on
copper, and there has been a big, steady
slump in the price which is now being
offered for the product.
Negotiations have been entered INTO
with the L. Voglestein & Company, of
Chrome, New Jersey, where the concen-
trate will be shipped for smelling pur-
poses. The company is anxious to get
the concentrate from the local mine for
the reason that it has qualities of iron
and lime which form ideal fluxing con-
ditions. The use of this concentrate
eliminates the necessity of buying a
flux.
In spite of the fact that the European
War has stopped the expectation of
copper, the local company is putting on
more underground laborers. 1t is felt
in mining circles that just as soon as the
war is on in full force, South America
will demand all OF the copper that this
country has been exporting to Europe.
Again, war will in the future create a de-
mand Tor copper.
When the air has cleared it is possible
that the company will employ about
fifty men on the New London mine.
Because of the city Improvements, and
the operation of the canning factories and
other work, there is a scarcity of la
bnrers. Yet with all of this the company
viii hardly import foreign labor. While
tine foreign labor brings better results at
the first, the company believes that ma
tive labor, because OF its stability, is bet
ter for this mine. The company will
train its mines.

Wheat to Reach 1925 Per
BuShel

That wheat will go to about SIPS and
then stop huctuating, and that 1t will
bring high prices next year, is the opin-
ion Of Professor S. s. Stabler, the agri-
cultural expert who is in charge of the
Agricultural Department Of the Boys
High School
MIR. Staber says that the European
wheat crop is now about ready for har-
vest, but it is being neglected and will
rot in the fields. The worlds supply
will be heavily curtailed as a result. for
Russia alone is larger wheat producer
than even the United States.
The potash supply has also been cut
of by the war, and many farmers are
without potash fertilizers. Mr. Stabler
has advised them 10 use burnt lime,
which will release the inert potash in the
soil.
