Oct. 10—100 Years Ago

Oct. 10, 1922

Although all the changes in the geography of Europe are not noted in the textbooks in use in the public schools of the county, the situation does not seem to be so bad here as it is reported to be for some of the larger cities, notably in Washington. A new shipment of history textbooks has just been received in Frederick county, and the United States history gives an account of the conclusion of the second administration of Woodrow Wilson and the beginning of the term of President Warren G. Harding. In the sketch on the World War is an account of the overthrow of the Czar and Kaiser and, too, the various changes in the map of Europe.

Frank C. Hargett, this city, will take about 200 dahlia blooms to Hagerstown today, which he will exhibit at the fair. The blooms include a large number of new varieties, among them being "President Harding," hybridized by Mr. Hargett and named in honor of the president.

It is only talk yet but is being seriously considered by some of the brightest minds in the insurance world.
