Who Lost 2

Here is one for arithmeticians
A banker found ten dollar bill He gave
it to his wife, who paid the butcher in settle
ment of his account The butcher paid it to
the farmer for calf, and the farmer paid it
to the merchant, who in turn paid it to the
washerwoman; and she, owing the banker
note OF ten dollars, went to the hank and
paid the note. The banker recognized the
bill as the one he had found, and which up
to that time had settled fifty dollars of debt.
On careful examination, he found the bill
was counterfeit.
The problem iS-who lost in the trans
action?

FROsTBURG, MD. SEPTEMBER 81, 1901



This issue completes thirty years of
the JOURNALS life.
In this rapid age thirty years is long
period-the last, taking our country's
population as a typical measure-the
longest in the worlds history.
Since the day the JOURNAL was es-
tablished, September 30, 1871, the coun-
tvs 10 millions of people have doubled,
though the ratio of increase naturally
has been falling every decade since
1910.
In the State the increase has been
nearly 81 per ccnt.; i'll the county IA per-
cent.; in the town not less than 43 per-
cent.
In other lines of evolution, notably i'll
scientific and mechanical developments,
the advances within that period have
quite distanced those of the century be-
fore.
At any rate, the achievements Of no
century of the modern era are comparable
in extent and significance with those OF
the last third of the nineteenth.
In local way these evidences of prog
ress have been visible-lnostly at dis
lance.
Yet the Frostburg of to-day i'll all re
spects is a longer way ahead of 1871 than
was that year of 1921.
OF this period therefore, longer III i'll
dustrial and material evolution than any
century of modern times, the files of the
JOURNAL are history,
Incomplete i'll many respects perhaps,
still historical compilation of every
important event in the towns annals.
The JOURNAL hopes the Significance of
this statement will not lose force by the
further observation that the same hand
which penciled and placed in type the
first lines of editorial and local matter
for the first issue, thirty years ago, is
still filling the same office.
Living only upon the approval of its
friends, the paper, i'll serving them, has
endeavored to be useful also to the town
and people at large.
Whatever it has accomplished, there
fore, for the mass is largely due by all
to that portion of the community which
has recognized its services.
So far as can be now forecast this
course will be continued-this without
an effort to voice everybody's prefer
ences or prejudiceS-this without cX-
pecting or hoping to please all the people
all the time.
And, rightly considered, this course
should bring to it more and more bust
ness.

and 65 feet on Mechanic street. OF the
''Kokomo" pattern, it is as substantial
as it is pretty. 1t is a combination of
road and coil-spring wire, with iron
posts firmly set in cement, while galvan-
ism and paint give finish that is very
attrat tive. Mr. Michael erected it HIM
self and, with his long experience as an
iron-worker, has made good job.
He has supplemented his new and
pretty fence by re-laying his pavement
When he gets through he will have done

The Engineering and Mining .IournuT
says:
The Atlantic seaboard soft coal trade shows
slow, but fairly steady improvement in
market conditions. The generally abundant
rainfall of the present year has greatly re.
duced coal consumption by those manu-
featuring concerns using both steam and
water power, but as labor troubles subside
there is continued gain in industrial activity
and this is responsible for considerable in
crease in coal buying.
In the far East arrivals of coal continue
quite heavy, while the demand from the
shoal- water ports is good There is still some
delay in unloading at certain ports, owing to
the number of vessels awaiting their turns,
but this delay is, on the whole, no worse
than last week. Along Long Island sound
demand is larger than last week and is ap-
preaching the normal fall volume In that
territory and at points beyond Cape Cod the
lower grade Goals frequently sell at below
regular quotations, but there is not such a
glnt of low priced coal as some monthe ago
New York harbor trade as yet shows but
slight improvement as regards orders from
the smaller consumers. All-rail trade main.
tains its standing and is taking good ton,
mage in a regular way.
Transportation from mines to tidewater is
good. Car supply at the colleries still causes
complaint in many instances.
