The Evening Times, Cumberland, MD. November 13, 1907
Hugh Beard of Barton, has enlisted in the United States army.   He "took a 
blanket" at the recruiting office in Cumberland, and Sergeant-Major Edward 
Peacock read the articles of war to him and told him tht the only unpleasant 
thing about a soldier's life at present is that the soldiers are compelled to 
eat their pie cold, but Sergeant Peacock assured the "rookie" that a bill 
would be passed at the next session of Congress that would give the soldiers 
hot pie.
