Appropriation Law For Monte.
tevue to be Enacted.

The law under which Montevue has
received $40, 900 from the State for
the years 1912 and 1913 will be
re-enacted within short time, according
to the announcement of Jacob Rohrback,
attorney to the Board of County Com
missloners.
This sum supplies the deficiency be-
tween the sum appropriated by the
county for the care Of the Montevue pa
tients and the actual sum required for
such care. The county appropriation is
$Ioo for each patient. All in excess of
that sum comes out of the $4,000 State
appropriation.
The original appropriation was only
for the years 1912 and 1913, and the re-
enactment is necessary to continue the
States support of the institution.

Lard Ruins Mail.

A case of poor packing of Parcel Post
matter was discovered at the Frederick
Postoffice, when Io-pound can of lard
was found to have bursted open and
smeared over the contents of third class
mail sack. 1t is thought the can of lard
was placed too near a radiator and heat
ed and then came open. The third class
mail consisted of newspapers and circu-
lars. The clerks at the postoflice had a
merry time in cleaning the lard from the
mail matter sufficiently to enable 1t being
sent through the postoffice.

Tree 800 Years Old.

The "grand-daddy" chestnut tree of
Frederick county is no more. 1t reached
the age of 900 years, it is estimated.
Death was due to general debility or
senility. The stately old tree was 10 feet
high, feet in diameter and about III feet
around. 1t made 10 loads of wood when
cut up.
The old tree was on the farm of MIR.
William P. Morsell. which is along the
Jefferson pike near Frederick. This farm
was formerly a part of the Edward How
ard estate, and generations of the How
ard family have seen this old tree and
gathered chestnuts from it. Mrs. VIM.
P. Morsell, who was Miss Howard be-
fore marriage, says she remembers her
father speak of the tree, which for CEN
turtles has stood through storms and sun
shine.
By counting the rings on the tree, Mr..
William Howard has made an estimate
that the old tree was fully 900 years old.
The tree was felled by Lewis Plunkard
and Jacob Henry. 1t was located near
the old Howard home, and was famil-
lar sight to all who have been on the
farm.
If the tree is 300 years old, which is
very likely since chestnut trees do attain
great age and grow to immense size, it
has stood there since before the Revolu-
tionary War, going back to 1914 Ii
goes back to the days of the Indians and
wildernesses, and if the old tree could
talk it could probably tell all kinds of in
teresting things. Frederick's whole his
tory was enacted during the lite of the
old tree.
The largest known chestnut tree is the
famous Castagno di cento caviIIi, or the
chestnut of hundred horses. on the
slopes OF Mount Etna, tree which when
measured nearly hundred years ago
was found to have circumference OF
100 feet.
The chestnut tree Of the Howard es-
tate has been bearing some chestnuts
even IN recent years.

SERVICE TEAMS ARE
READY WITH TRICKS
1t Is Expected That Surprises
Will Be Shown in Army-Navy
Game This Year.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 20.-With the
near approach of the game against the
Army eleven. which crowns the season
for the Navy team, the character which
this contest will take is being discussed
with much interest. The service games
have been full of surprises in the past,
and both teams make great effort to
sprprise their opponents with something
entirely different from the incidents OF
previous contests. Last year, 1t was the
Army's remarkable proficiency in for
ward pass plays that startled the Navy
team and it's friends. and this year both
elevens hope to have something which
will puzzle the other and enable them
to leave the field as victors. ---
There is very Tttle secrecy about the
general play of the two teams. Scouts
from each place see all the games of
the other team, and report regularly as
to the character of the game. and the
general features of the attack and de-
fense. In fact, the main features Of
the attack of both teams. and notably
that OF the Navy, have changed but
little In a half score of years.
IT is a fact known to all who have
followed Navy teams Of the past years,
that the Navy's chief offensive forma-
ton. from which a kick, n forward
pass. a long end run. or a delayed pass
ending in a straight line play. has
hardly changed in dozen years, and
its efficacy lies in the fact that the
opposing team must look out for any
OF these plays and consequently
weaken its defense for any one of them.
This formation is perfectly well known
to the Army coaches. and they have, Of
course prepared for it as much as
possible.
The Navy team has used to good
effect in several Of the seasons games,
the strategy of putting In its heaviest
baCkfield at the start and by driving
the backs into the line again and
again overpOwering the opposition. and
making them n ready victim Of the fast
end runners which the local team also
has in its squad or of forward pass
plays. Frequently, after n lighter SET
of backs have been used during por-
ton of the game. the heavy men are
brought back after good rest. and
have completed the rout OF their OppCn-
ents. If this is the plan adopted by
the Navy coaches. Fail ng will be used
as a sidemate of Blodgctt. who is sure
Of his position at halfback. Miles at
and II. Harrison. at full

ing's work this year has featured every
game in which he has played. He in
jured his leg in the Pittsburgh game
and had to be taken out.
Complete confidence reigns in the Wis

that he realized that he had hard

do. They haven't quit talking about
