St. Valentines Day

Wednesday next February 14th,
is st. Valentines Day, observed
throughout the land by the sending
of missives, some comics, some sentl-
mental, some otherwise.
st. Valentine was priest of Rome,
martyred in the third century, but he
seems to have had no connection
with the notions and practices to
which his day has since been given
up. This, it is scarcely necessary to
say, is day thought to be especially
devoted to the business of Cupid and
Hymen. The only observance of any
note exists in the sending of anony-
nous letters by way of practical
joke. But the true proper ceremony
of st. Valentines Day was the draw
ing of kind of lottery, followed by
ceremonies not much unlike what Is
generally called the game of forfeits.
Mission, learned traveller of an
earlier day, gives apparently cor
rect account Of the principal cere-
monial of the day: ION the eve OF
st. Valentines Day." he says, 1.-THE
young folks of England and Scotland
by very ancient custom, celebrate a
little festival. An equal number oil
maids and bachelors get together;
each writes his or her true or some
feigned name upon separate billets,
which they roll up, and draw by way
of lots, the maids taking the men S
billets, and the men the maids, each
calling the other their valentine. For
tune having thus divided the COM
pany into so many couples, the VAL
entines give balls and treats, wear
their little billets, and this little
sport often ends in love-"

Maryland Red Cross
Station Wagon

Dear Friends:
am sure it will be of interest to
the good people of Rising Sun, as
well as all OF our members in Cecil
County to know that the Red Cross
trip to Rising Sun Tigh School on
February 18th, sponsored by the
Lions Club, will give those who con-
tributed to this Station Wagon for
Red Cross Blood Donor Service, an
opportunity to see it and to know
that it is being used throughout our
State for this fine purpose. 1t should
also be the means of more people Of
fering blood. This Station Wagon was
paid for by Maryland w. G. T. u,
the amount being $1760.66; in addi-
ton to this amount, our women con-
tributed almost $500 more, $210 of
which went into other Red Cross We
hicles presented by the National w.
C. T. U and over $50 allocated to the
Physical Fitness Clinic formerly The
Safety School on Wheels, project

pendent Visits Cecil Jail
(From First Page)


for TRUSTEES in the corridor on the
second floor just outside the women S
section, and in this connection it
should be noted once more that an in
mate is, in effect, the night supervis-
or of the jail. -.
This Jail follows the traditional
pattern of two meals a day, namely
late breakfast and an early supper
The night interval is approximately
II hours in length. AS discussion OF
typical menus with the Sheriff's wife
ana the paid cook indicated that they
did not have much concept of 'caloric
content or of the value of variety,
at least as far as the prisoners were
concerned. =.
Poker Game In Progress
mot too much attention is paid to
the prisoners. If they give trouble
they are locked in their cells and put
! ON a restricted diet In view of the
fact that this is a two meal Jail it
would be a restriction on a restric
ton. :.
Gambling is permitted and, as pre-
viously stated, poker game was go
ing on during the inspection. The
Sheriff made no attempt to stop it"
AS to cleanliness and sanitation,
the report on the Elkton Jail says;
This could not be marked better
than poor Whiskey bottles and 9TH
er debris were found in the yard.
There was no evidence of an organic
ed program for keeping the jail
clean"
Personal hygiene is left to the in
clinations of the individual inmate,
but it is interesting to note that
there is only one expenditure for
laundry work during the year ending
June, 1914, and that was when pay
ment of $500 was made for this pur-
pose"
