Manchester, n. H.. May S.--The po-s
lice of this city and surrounding towns

Frank Lord. So years old, who drop
ped mysteriously from sight last Sun
day. He carried a large roll of bills
and DR.. G. A. Campbell, who employ

Lord left camp early Sunday after
noon saying he was going for short
walk. He has not returned When last
seen he was headed in the general
direction of Massabesic lake. He was,
lightly dressed and took none of his
personal belongings, other than his
money. .
Lord is said to have entertained
hobby of keeping his money on his
person rather than trusting it to-
banks. That he was possibly waylaid
and robbed is the theory of DIR. Camp.

Washington, May s.-Recent events
have directed special attention to the
trade of the United States with Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile and the
comparative rank of those countries
as international markets. They pos
sess an aggregate area of 4,123,OO0
square miles, or one and one-third
times that of the United States, have
a combined population of S6,5O0,0Oo or
slightly less than that of France, and
a foreign trade of 81, 800, GOO, 900. approx
imately equal to that of Belgium, or
nearly one-half that of the United
States. A recent analysis made by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce,
shows that as markets for American
products, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile
taken as a group buy from us four
times as much as China, twice as
much as Japan, one and one-half
times as much as Mexico, one-third
as much as Germany. one-fourth as
much as Canada, and one-fiifth as
much as England.
Our trade with the "A. B. c.
group above named, amounting last
ed about Is per cent of their total i'm
ports and exports. We sold to Argen-
tina last year $50, OO0, 600 worth of pro-
ducts: to Brazil, 100000; and to
Chile. 16500,000 On the other hand. we
bought from Argentina S25,500, 900
worth of products; from Brazil, 1ol,-
000,0 600; and from Chile, 29,5o0, 900.
These three countries supplied over so
per cent. of all the merchandise enter
ing our ports from South America
and took like proportion of our sales
to that continent.
Official returns for the opening quar-
ter of 1914 indicate a sharp recession
in exports to the "A. b. c." group and
practically stationary imports there
from in comparison with figures for
the preceding January March period
An important exception to this gener-
al statement is found in imports from
Argentina, unprecedented shipments
of corn and fresh beef, coupled with
heavy receipts Of cattle hides and

TO BOOM maine
BY AEROPLANE PLAN
OF PORTLAND BOY

Portland Me, May S.-Linwood F.
Jordan, the inventor of the aeroplane
with which he is to make the attempt
to fly around the world starting
from the Panama Pacific Exposition
grounds in 1915 for a prize of 100000,
is forming an Aero Club of Maine and
each subscriber is to be charter
member. Notices of the first meeting
will soon be sent out and the club
officers elected.
Mr.. Jordan is deeply interested in
the Boom Maine movement, and he
PROPOSES to have a share in that $780,
600 offer. He is raising by popular
subscription the necessary $4,000 to
make the flight and Charles L. For
resi- says of him:
From what we have seen and
known of Linwood F. Jordan, the in
ventor and promoter of this PROPOSE
ton which is to benefit the State of
Maine and it's inhabitants, we believe
him to be a very conscientious man,
| and we have confidence in his ability
to carry out the project contemplated,
provided he has the necessary amount
to construct a machine capable of
fight across the Atlantic or around
the world.
I'VE think this possible of accom-
plishment, knowing as we do, what
| is going on in all parts of the world
in the art of flying, and, if it is pos
sible for man to accomplish the feat,
| this is the man who can do it. In our
| judgment the project is worth try
in t,t or a "a
is going to accomplish this, and the
| honor may better fall to the State of
Maine than to any other state or ma
| ton.
Our chances are as. good as, or a
| little better than, some that are going
| to contest for the prizes; so, if We try
| and the State of Maine wins, II is SO
much to our credit and glory. The
| opportunity is here, and if we do not
| embrace it. this opportunity is lost
| forever more. Almost any citizen
| can afford to take little chance.
| From a sporting standpoint, the very
| fact that we have a flying machine
| in the contest or race, and the salts
| faction of being represented, would
| more than repay us for the outlay be-
| cause of the publicity We should get.
| This project is very big one and
| should have the consideration and
| backing of every enterprising citizen
| in the State, for it is a life-saver. as
| it is described to us, and an aid to
| the advancement of science-regardles
Of our gain.
1.-THE amount Of money for the prop
osition herein specified is to be raised
by popular subscription as stated
abovve, with no stipulated amount to
the subscriber. each person having
the option of contributing just what
they can afford. There is no graft in
this proposition, for there is not to
be any gain for any one unless the
| prize, or prizes, are won; in which
case all share in proportion as above
stated. But the State Of Maine gains
the publicity under all circumstances"
