and 40.
There was not great deal of
news in the paper, but here are
several interesting items: GAS an
indication of the rapid advance of
the price of land in the county we
mention one farm for which the
owner was offered a few days
since, $4,000, equivalent to $18 an
acre, which would not have brought
over $4,000 four years ago."
1850.
Another ran: "Postmasters who
lake no interest in the circulation
of county papers because they pass
through Post Offices in the county
where they are published, free of
postage, neglect their own interest.
For every county paper they deliv-
er to subscribers they are entitled
to retain ten and one-half cents
per year of the post-office fund"
at is thought that the President
and Directors of the Metropolitan
Railroad will locate the route from
Georgetown toward Rockville in a
few days, or as soon as a survey
now going on in the county shall
have been finished. 1t is thought
certain that it will run through
the eastern section of our village;
after leaving Rockville we know
not what route it will take" Sort
of reminiscent of proposed Super
Highway, isn't it?
flames Orme was married on
January II, 1854, to Miss Mary
Elizabeth Preston Belt"
Major George Peter, of this
county, was among those who at
tended convention of the surviv-
ing soldiers of 1912. Major Peter
is credited with introducing Light
Artillery into this country. At
great length the story tells how
Maj. Peter served under both Gen.
George Washington and William
Washington of Kentucky. He had
in his company the author of the
Star Spangled Banner. "Mr. Keat-
ing of Maryland made a few anus
ing remarks, he said he, too, ran
away at the Battle of Bladensburg
but did all the mischief he could
before he ran" The convention
was held at Philadelphia.
We could go on for pages = do
hope you all will enjoy this as
much as we did.

HOMEMAKERS'
CORNER -
CoLp WEATHER HINTS

Wet clothes will freeze to the
clothesline if the temperature Is
below 80 degrees, but rubbing the
line with vinegar before hanging
up the clothes will mean that they
will be less likely to freeze.
Heated clothespins will be a COM
fort to your fingers on those cold
days and will keep them from get
ting SO stiff and numb.
Keeping your clothes basket at
waist level on wagon or sled will
keep the homemaker from, con-
stantly bending over to pick up the
contents.
Avoid hanging woolens outdoors
on cold day, Wool is sensitive to
sudden changes in temperatures.
II is better to have it dry ct room
temperature.
If your washing machine Is kept
on the porch or in a chilled room,
be sure to bring it in a warm room
overnight, or at least few hours
before starting to work. The oil or
grease of cold washer puts on
heavy starting load which may be
heavy enough to blow a fuse in the
circuit. A warm machine means
less responsibility of cracking Of
enamel when hot water is poured
into the tub.
A mechanical dryer is a real
asset to homemakers in winter,
but if not available it may be bet
ter to dry clothes indoors rather
than to have them torn by the
whipping wind on very cold days.

Moose Meat Is
On The Table

For few hundred Norwegian
hunters, there is plenty of I'M
rationed meat on the table these
nights. Reports from most dis
tricts describe the present moose
season as one of the best, and
prospects of breaking a near
meat-less monotony have drawn
a record number of hunters to
the woods.
Little of the kill is reaching
the city, however, as relatives
and neighbors generally share
in the local hunters good for
tune. With moose meat off the
ration, the few quarters which
do reach city markets last only
long enough to grace few for
tunate tables.
Increased meat supplies must
await resumption of cattle de-
liveries from the farms-post-
poned temporarily by the hectic
harvest season.

Value Of Nobel
Prizes Increases

STOCKHOLM, October 4-(Air-
mailed)-Each of the five Nobel
Prizes to be awarded this year
will amount to 1912 kronor,
which is equivalent to about $44,-
400, according to the present rate
of exchange. Last year they were
worth 146,115 kronor, or some
S40,500. Since the prize amounts
depend on the income received
from securities, mostly Swedish, in
which the main fund Is invested,
the monetary value of the awards
varies from year to year.
The highest sum ever paid to a
winner was in 1881, when each
prize was worth 49, kronor. In
1923, on the other hand, each
award amounted only to 114,935
kronor. In 1947, the income from
the fund was declared for the first
time to be tax-eXempt, and conse-
quently the value of the prizes in
creased by about 5000. Up to and
including last year. a total sum of
26, $3.50, $685. kronor has been paid
out
