Display of Farm Products.

The Frederick County Farmers Asso-
citation will in all probability cooperate
in the movement to have creditable dis
play of farm products in the portion of
the new Armory to be set apart for the
exhibition of relics, samples of country
products and other things of interest.
The matter will be brought to the atten-
ton of the members of the Association at
the meeting which will be held Saturday
afternoon at I O'Clock in the Y. M. c. A.
auditorium.
Captain D. John Markey, Of Company
A, explained the plan to President Jesse
P. King, of the Farmers Association,
and. the latter thought the idea an excel
lent one and promised to lay the plan be-
fore the members at the next meeting.
1t is thought that fine collection OF sam
pies Of the various products raised in this
county could be gathered together for a
permanent display.
Cattle will be the subject for discussion
at Saturdays meeting of the farmers.
Mr.. William p Morsell who is much in
terested IN Holsteins, will lead the dis
cussion. Many leading farmers feel that
Frederick county should raise more cat
tie, especially those for beef, and it is
likely that some good ideas will be ad-
vanced at Saturdays meeting.

over sa GOO for Montevue.e Meat.


1t cost the county over three thousand
dollars to furnish beef for the inmates of
Montevue and the Frederick iail for
three months, the quarter ending We'd
nesday. OF this amount $soo.So was
spent TO supply the inmates OF the Jail.
The County Commissioners had a set
tlement with the Board OF Charities and
Correction Monday morning A partial
list OF bills was presented to the board
and about eight thousand dollars were
checked over to the Board Of Charities
and Correction to pay expenses. The
repair expenses to Montevue made few
weeks ago. was not included in this bill.
1t is understood that not all of this eight
thousand dollars will be used for bills of
the last three months, but that some will
be used for current expenses for the next
quarter.
During the past three mouths there
has been an average enrolment of about
2Io inmates at Montevue Ii has been
estimated that il cost the county about
5000 or more per capita each year for
maintenance. All over $3.50 is appropri-
ated by the State. There is now a hold
over appropriation OF about Sc, 600 which
the Board of Charities and Correction
has not received from the State. Had
this appropriation been paid the county
would not have been compelled to lay
out nearly eight thousand dollars this
term.
President John w. Hotter, of the Board
OF County Commissioners, said that the
meat bill was rather high, and that the
institution used some pork raised on the
county farm. 1t was reported at the in
stitutlon, however, that fewer hogs were
killed last winter.

Has Old Sacred Histories.

Elder Francis c. Renner, of New
Midway, this county. who IS the owner
of very old Bible, has several volumes
pertaining to the early church history
which is of much interest. "Christianog-
raphy," is book written at Constantine
pie by Meletius Patriarcha in 1897. 1t
tells of the struggles Of the Christians to
maintain their religion. History OF Bap.
tism." is another old book, which was
published in 1890, containing 65S pages.
Mr.. Renner writes that this is rare
book, only four copies having been
prin ted.
He tells also of "Apostolici" which
was written by William Cave IN 1876
History OF Paganism" is another inter-
esting old volume in Mr.. Renner's pos.
session. 1t tells of the first 400 years
after Christ. 1t bears the date Of 1858.
Mr.. Renner also has MacKnights Trans
lation OF the Scripture, and he shows
how it settles the passages that are con
troverted, Matthew, 24-36, and Mark, I3

Hope to Decrease Burden on Tax.
paYerS.

The ninety-acre farm at Montevue is to
be the main support of the institution for
the coming year and the means Of cutting
down expenses to the county taxpayers.
That IS what J. Windsor Williams, presi-
dent of the new Board of Charities and
Correction, said Monday evening.
The greatest amount of produce from
the smallest area of ground is the slogan
OF the new Charities and Correction
Board. The farm is in high state OF
cultivation, and President Williams be-
lleveS that with scientific methods and
thorough farming Montevue can certainly
procure the bulk of supplies from that
source. That means that there will be
shrnkage III the expense of the county.
Every effort is being made by the new
board to increase the productiveness of
the farm. Crop-producing fertilizers have
been purchased. There has been an in
spection OF the county's herd and only
the large milk producers have been re-
tanned. The new board expects to fur
nish all milk from its own dairy.
I'VE are going to do all we can to
keep the expenses of maintaining the in
stitution down." said Mr. Williams. Il
believe that large quantities of produce
can be raised on the farm by using proper
farming methods, and we are going to do
what we can"
1t is thought that the present Board of
Charities and Correction will hold office
for this year.

A new commodity being exported from
Shanghai to the United States is rice
bran. For the past two years large
shipments have been made TO Germany,
but not until this season has any been ex-
ported to America. In former years the
bran was used by the Chinese as feed for
animals or neglected as waste Now The
10 mills in Shanghai from which it is to
be had cannot meet the demand. 1t is

A WORD TO WIVES AND MOTHERS.

Keep in advance ofyour boys and your
girls. Be prepared to lead them, and do
not, as you value your husbands love,
allow him to develop and improve while
you lose your hold upon those things
which contribute so much to a woman S
attractiveness.
| see about me every day sisters who,
when they married, were, have not a
single doubt, intellectually equal, if not
superior to the men with whom they cast
their lot. In some occult fashion they
drifted apart
A man in daily contact with bright
minds, in his travelling, thinking, plan
ming, reading, unconsciously grows away
from the woman of his choice unless she
is in turn keen witted enough to make up
her mind that this shall not be the
case.
A man likes at night, when he puts on
his slippers and settles down for a
smoke TO discuss the topics of the mo-
ment and not babies and the delin-
Quencies Of the cook. Where one wom-
an can do this. dozen would be utterly
at sea if an attempt were made to lure
them away from them, to them always
fascinating themes, kitchen and nursery.
Be wary lest IN yonr devotion to sew
ing machine, bread board, and broom,
you allow blessed opportunities for self
culture to slip by, until you find yourself
a target for somebody's commiseration.
A mistaken notion ties women down
to petty details, when many precious
moments might be given to some thing
that would elevate and refine.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.


These are the things worth while:
The rainbow after the rain;
The peace that follows pain;
The dew dipped garden rose;
The flower that by the wayside grows
To claim an urchn's smile. r.
The little sacrifices made
By patient mother love;
The touch OF little children's hands;
And sweet affections subtle bands.
The bright sunshine above;
The songs the robin sings;
The chord of music that awakes,
Yearning for nobler things.
These and trusting woman's love,
In life are most worth while.
Verne Dewitt Rowell in Nautilus.
Labor is life, but worry is killing
Accept things as they are, and do not
bother about the yesterday, which is
gone forever; do not bother about to-
morrow, which is not yours: but take the
present day and make the best OF it.
Some horrid man says: "a woman can
adopt herself to circumstances more
readily than a man. She will drive a
nail with poker or hair brush, take
out cork with pair Of scissors, no
matter if it is pushed in, and sharpen
lead pencils with her husbands razors. !"
Young man, you are wanted From
the street corners, from the saloons, and
playhouses. from the loafer's rendezvous,
from the ider's promenade, turn your
steps into the highway of noble aim and
earnest work. There are prizes enough
for every successful worker, crowns
enough for every honorable head that
goes through the smoke of conflict 10

IDLE WOMEN.


The most unhappy women in our com,
munities today are those who have no
engagements to call them up in the
morning, and who, once having risen
and breakfasted. lounge through the dull
forenoon in slippers down at the heel
and with diSheveled hair, reading the
last novel and who, after having drag
ged through a wretched forenoon and
taken their afternoon sleep, and having
spent an hour and half at their toilet,
pick up their card case and go out to
make calls, and who pass their evenings
waiting for some body to come in and
break up the monotony. Arabella
Stua 1T never was imprisoned in so dark
a dungeon as that.
There is no happiness In an idle wom.
an. 1t may be with hand, or 1t may be
with brain, it may be with foot, but
work she must, or be wretched forever
The little girls of our families must be
started with that idea. The curse OF our
American society is that our young
women are taught that the first, second
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth,
fiftieth thousandth thing in their life is to
get some one to take care of them
Instead Of that. the first lesson should
be how, under God. they may take care
of themselves and that, too, after having
through the false notions of their par.
ents, wasted in the years in which they
ought to have learned how successfully
to maintain themselves. We now and
here declare the inhumanity. cruelty, and
outrage that father and mother who pass
their daughters into womauhood, having
given them no facility for earning their
livelihood. Nine de Stael said: ut is
not these writings that | am proud of,
but the fact that have the facility IN
ten occupations, so that, if necessary,
could make my livelihood in any one OF
them"

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA TO GET
CITY-OWNED RAILWAYS?
BY Gibson Gardner

Washington, April Unofficial
ly, but no less certainly, it has now
become known that President Wilson
will sign the Crosser municipal own
ership of street railways bill for the
District of Columbia, if it passes the
two houses. And there is good pros
pect that it will pass both houses if
it can be reported from the commit
tee on the District of Columbia.
The passage Of this bill would be
the best possible demonstration of
the principle of public ownership of
public utilities. The capital city
would serve as a beacon light in this
respect for the rest of the country.
Mr.. Crosser has no doubt that if the
bill comes to roll call in the House
it will pass.
Senator Norris is known to favor
the Crosser bill, and it is understood
that he has practically assured Rep
resentative Crosser that it will go
through the Senate too if the House
passes it. This is a matter in which
every progressive citizen in the Uni
ted States is interested. A demon
stration of the efficiency of public
ownership in Washington would
make the fight much easier in cities
