Household Department.
Heretofore the committee on Institutes
has never given the ladies of the COM
munity a chance to do anything other
than see and hear what was said by the
lecturers. Quite different, however, this
year. A committee was named to secure
display of household articles and pro-
ducts of the farm The committee named
being Mrs. A. M. Isanogle, Mrs. G. +.
Rogers, Mrs. Carl Gall, Miss Martha
Zimmerman and Miss Bessie Martin.
The committee met and divided the ter
ritory into various sections and appoint
ed two or more ladies in each to help
them in the undertaking and in this man
ner in few days did considerable work
and as result most magnificent dis
play of articles was seen at Town Hall.
Not near the space was available for this
display that it should have had. Hun
dreds of articles in needework were
placed in the small room on the left of
the entrance of the Hall and hundreds of
quarts of Jared fruits, cakes, bread etc
had to be piled in corner of the main
room.
The ladies of this committee received
a very creditable exhibit from pupils of
the Thurmont High School, but for lack
of space this could not be kept apart and
distinct from other articles. Had more
time been given it is difficult to say how
large the exhibit of this departm ent
would have been.
The committee ask US to thank every
person who contributed to their cause in
any manner; especially are they thank
full for the showcases loaned by Messrs.
Jos. C. Gernand and Sam'l Long in which
bread, cakes, candy butter and numer-
Gus other articles were shown.
Following we give list of persons
awarded premiums and the article eXhib-
tied, the first indicating that the exhibit
or received blue ribbon and the second
a red ribbon. No prizes were awarded.
