Nearly 500 Bushels OF Peaches
Brought Here Yesterday.


The Frederick market was flooded
with Frederick county peaches of fine
quality yesterday morning. 1t was
estimated yesterday morning by
prominent fruit growers that nearly
500 bushels were on market. Fruit
growers from all parts of the county,
some from Washington county, came
to Frederick yesterday morning.
Some of the farmers left their homes
at II o'clock the proceeding night in
order that they might be in time for
market. Verton Hutzell, of Boons-
boro, appeared on market at $50
o'clock. He told a reporter for The
Frederick Post that he had left his
home shortly before II o'clock Mon
day evening.
Record low prices were quoted on
the market during the morning. Sc
lected, picked peaches, sold as low
as 20 cents per bushel. One Freder-
lick resident touring in the vicinity of
Deerfield few days ago was offered
peaches in unlimited quantities for
10 cents per bushel, provided he pick
ed them himself. Another fruit grow

Some county farmers are not mar

demanded nearly So per bushel, to
hogs.

lated on his drove by his friends.

WHERE CHlNTZ is USEFUL
Material Makes the Best Kind OF
Work Aprons, and Car Be Made
Up Prettily.

The vogue for chintz in dress has
led a young matron who does her own
housework-and likes to look well
while doing it-into making a set OF
work aprons and caps out of this deco
rative material.
The firm weave of chintz makes it
an admirable dustproof protection for
gown and hair and keeps a fresh look.
Chintz does not wrinkle easily and il
a gay allover design be chosen it will
not look spotted for long while
Dressed in her chnt2 apron and cap
to match the young matron looks
pretty to a degree-more as though
arrayed for some fancy dress affair
than for mere work: a fact that
makes work go gayly.
Her aprons cover her gowns en-
tirely. They are trigly belted in at
the waist and furnished with a com
modious pocket. An apron and cap
striped in inch bars of dark blue al
ternating with a pattern OF green
leaves and yellow flowers on white
background make her favorite chlntz
armor against dust and soil.
