MARIANNE or I4ADRONES 49, A
group of islands in the Pacific ocean
1850 miles east of the Philippines, OF
which all but Guam, owned by the
United States are German posses
sions. Tie name Ladrones, meaning
thieves, Was given to them by the
sailors of Magellan, because Of the in
clination of the early natives to
steal. Excluding Guam. there are II
islands, of which only seven are in
habited. Volcanoes are scattered
over the ten northern islands, while
the southern members of the group
are ioralline in structure and fringed
with coral reefs. Their total area is
about 250 square miles, and their
population close to 1900. Climate
and soil lend themselves readily to
agricultural pursuits, but the inhaDlt-
ants have failed to realize their op-
portunities in this regard. Coffee,
sugar, cotton tobacco, cocoa, mother
of-pearls, sweet potatoes and cocoa
nuts are produced, and copra, the
dried meat of the cocoanut is ex-
ported. Germany paid Spain approx
mately $4,OO0,OOO for the archipelago,
with the exception of Guam, in 1899
MOUZON-A town Of northern
France which enjoyed some import
ance until 1860. 1t is on the Meuse
seven miles from the Belgian border
and 19 miles southeast of Mezieres.
It's ancient name was Mosomagus,
Field of the Meuse." Nails, railway
rolling stock and agricultural machin-
cry are manufactured there by the
more than 5000 inhabitants. Here
may be seen the remains of an abbey
founded in the 10th century.

AMERICA: THE ONE
NATION THAT EARNS
MORE THAN 1T SPENDS

Sir George Paish the eminent
British economist, speaks correctly
when he says the United States is
the only country in the world that is
accommodating wealth. Financial
stress has for long time oppressed
Mexico and all the important nations
of South America.
War is devouring all the wealth
which Europe is able to create, and
many more millions each day which
must be borrowed Japan, not yet
recovered from her war with Russia,
is again pouring out her frugal
means in another war.
In sharp contrast with these, the
United States is not only at peace
but It is going ahead converting It's
natural advantages into new wealth.
Rain, sunshine soil and labor dur
ing the present year brought forth
crops worth $4,000 100000. Even a
state of business depression does not
prevent the United States from pillng
up wealth.
We are today the only people on
earth who have money TO invest in
securities other than those forced
upon the public by war. We are the
only people who have new capital to
pour into the channels OF peace Wei
are the only people who are adding
more to their bank account instead
of draining the bank aecumulations
Of the past
Ordinarily Europe is the dominant
investing section of the earth. To
day that part of North America in

MORE STATE HIGHWAY
B|OSASK BY Commission
Two Sections on Accident Road to
National Pike Advertised.

The Good Roads Commission of Mary
land advertise in this paper today for
bids for the construction of two sec
tons of State Road. one being a re-
advertisement of that portion of the
Oakland-Accident road near Hoyes to
the town of Accident and the other for
the construction of section from Ac-
cident to the National Road at Keyser.
The Hoyes-Accident section has been
advertised a number of times and bids
have been submitted by road builders,
but the Commission figures or esti-
mates for the work have always been
lower than the price asked for the work
and in consequence delay in awarding
the contracts has been occasioned.
On the Accident-Keyser section,
however, the advertisement of to-day
is the first that has been published by
the Commission. This contract covers
a stretch of mountain road about seven
miles in length and will when completed
along with the section of a little less
than two and half miles from Hoyes
to Accident, give Oakland a state
highway clear through to the National
Road a short distance east of the Penn
sylvania State line. Two other sec
tons of the Pike, one east and the other
west of Grantsville, will complete that
portion Of the State Roads Commits
sion's surveyed system of roads lying
north of Oakland in Garrett county,
and will also give Garrett CONTAINS a
complete good road into the city Of
Cumberland or beyond.

Members of the Family of Albert
Shaffar. Near CreIIin, The Victims.

This morning about seven o'clock the
home of Albert Shaffer, who resided on
the Peter P. Lohr farm near Crellln,
was burned to the ground, along with
all of the contents of the building, a
five-room log house, and in escaping
from the flames Mrs. Shaffer and her
little child, an infant in arms, were
more or less seriously burned.
The fire caught from kitchen stove
and had made considerable Roadway
when it was discovered by a neighbor
who gave the alarm. Mr.. Shaffer, who
was at work in his barn, ran to the
house and in his efforts to rescue his
wife and child he was also slightly
burned. They were both taken from
the burning building through window.
The child's arm and hand were badly
burned while Mrs. Shaffer's injuries
consisted of burus on her face and arms.
