Hotel Is Making
the Town Famous

By its hotels city or town is
judged by the great outside world;
by its hotels it is known to the trav-
cling public who have such a great
influence in moulding the opinions
Of others as to the town, it sur
roundings and future. Anyone Wis
iting FrankIinton would at once
form favorable opinion of the town
by stay at the leading hotel, The
Fern.
The location of the Fern Hotel is
one Of the most convenient in Frank
linton, and surely it ranks as one of
the finest in this section. Located
opposite the public square, on the
corner of Pearl and Main streets,
it is in the 'heart of everything"
and convenient to business houses as
well as the railroad station. No other
hotel is more desirably situated for
visitors and travelling men.
The personal attention given to
the comfort and convenience Of its
guests has made the hotel popular
throughout the state. The eultiya-
ton of homelike atmosphere is one
Of the main considerations of the.
management. Ladies visiting here
are assured of more than ordinary
degree Of consideration.
The Fern is attractively and taste
fully decorated. There is, however,
none of that lavish expenditure in
sensational and ornate embeIlish-
ment which often adds so much to
hotel tariffs without a corresponding
increase in comfort to the guest.
The true quality of a hotel may
generally be gagged by the quality
of its cuisine. For both the food
served and the character of that ser
vice, the Hotel Fern employs wide
and favorable reputation. The mod
crate prices will be found in pleas
ing contrast to the present high aver
age Of hotel and dining-rOom charges.
The Fern has accommodations
for large number of guests, all out
side rooms, with modern conven-
and cold running water,
electric lights, baths, etc.
The Farmers and Merchants
Bank building was the original name
Of this modern two-story brick
building, which was later changed to i
The Burris Hotel and in March, 1918,
Mrs. G. w. Goodbse took over the
hotel and changed it to its present
name.
Mrs. Goodbee is now the proprie-
tor and actively manages the affairs
IF the hotel and knows what service I
IS and how to please and make the
guests feel at home. She has made
i success from the start and has al
ways received liberal patronage.

Work of Repairing, Reclaiming
and Salvaging Only Recently
Taken Up.

z PARIS, March 29.-Piano tuners are
an active agent in the work Of keep
ing in good as well as truly har-
monious humor the young and sing
ing A. E. F. Those who have visited
the American encampments, tuning
fiat-tired piano and hammering on
battered case there, can realize it
plays now in the hard business of
keeping amused men who want to
be on the move in the direction or
home.
There have always been pianos
scattered about ''Y" huts in France
never quite enough to go around
but only within the last few months
have piano tuners been empioyeo IN
the job of reclaiming and salvaging
pianos, repairing these battered in
struments on the spot in some cases.
and in others removing them to tne
Y. M. c. A. warehouse in Paris for
more severe surgical treatment.
From September last, when the
salvaging began, until the end Of
January this year some 125 pianos
have been made over in the Y. NJ
c. AS Paris warehouse, and sent back
to the field. Some seventy battered
Instruments in hUts and barracks
have been tuned and repaired ana re-
patched, thereby increasing their re-
sistance as we'll as their tunefulness.
There is no possible way of esti-
mating exactly the number of pianos
now seeing service in the American
Army, for in addition to 700 or more
pianos shipped out to the Y. M. c. A.
huts in all parts of France and Ger
many within the last year there
must be added the pianos bought or
borrowed in villages by individual
"Y" secretaries, the pianos contrib
uted by individual companies of SOL
diers and the pianos salavaged from
German dugouts.

to eliminate the necessity for trans
port of gold from one country to an

imports into the United States have
averaged only few millions.
1t was not believed here that the
new order would change the actual
situation at all. since it has been un-
derstood that gold shipments were
prohibited by agreement among
financial interests. The order mere

existed, and was said to be one of

CALLS TO AUTO|ST
Excellent Road From D. c.
and Much of Historical In
terest Awaits Tourist.

| The direct road to Annapolis is now
in fine condition. the section beyond
Marlboro having been rebuilt and
| graveled.
| The route was covered by the man
ager of the A. A. A. touring bureau
and a representative, of the White
Company last Tuesday and the actual
| running time from the United States
| Treasury to the statehouse at An
napolis was a trif1e less than one
hour and thirty minutes.
Leaving Washington over Pennsyl-
Vanla avenue around the Capitol
direct course was followed over the
| same thoroughfare across the bridge
up the hills beyond and into the open
country. 1t was perfect day. indeed;
! the cloudless skies as blue as azure,
! made fitting background for the
green tinged meadows. Here and
there rows of tall pine trees of dark
est green stood like SentinelS along
the splendid highway.
After passing many small but in
terestine villages and quaint little
negro cabins, past many farms where
plowmen had already begun to till the
soil. the charming old city. Annapolis,
was reached. Here were found many
OF the colonial homes of our country'S
HloSl brilliant statesmen, 10 WnOm we
owe a debt of gratitude for freedom
and independence. These old homes
have been most carefully preserved.
The Old Statehouse.
One of the most interesting build
ings is the old statehouse. with it's
tall white dome. which can be seen
from every part of the city. Visitors
are admitted on week days and guides
will explain the various interesting
features. The old senate chamber i'm
mediately to the right of the entrance
| is the most historic room in America,
as it was here on December 23, 1888,
| that Gen. Washington surrendered his
command to reture to private life. The
President of the Senate sat in the
same chair that now stands on the
raised platform, and at the mahogany
desk Immediately in front were seat
ed members of Congress on that
eventful day. Many fine old paintings
are hung on the walls in the corridors
and adjoining rooms.
On the left of the corridor is the
fiagroom, where are kept the flags of
the civil war. both of the Union and
CQnfederacy. A sign over the door
requests men to remove their hats,
| which seemed rather unnecessary, as
every true American would surely not
be SO thoughtless.
The new legislative chambers, where
the state legislature now holds it's
! meetings each year, are located at the
| lower end of the corridor, one on
either side. White marble steps lead
from the hallway up to the offices of
| the Governor of Maryland.
