The Story of
Our States

US W a. IN not be COM
NSSGASk2kxSN ton of the
S&S&S~ other terri
tory of the United States. which
is not included in the actual for
ty-eight states. The biggest OF
these territories is Alaska, with
an area of 590,SS4 square miles.
This huge region was under Rus
sian domination until 1867 when
the United States purchased 1t
for $7,20O,000, Or less than two
cents an acre. There was some
g%rumbling at the time by a few
congressman over adding a re-
frigerator to the United States"
But the refrigerator has been
found to be well stocked with
gold, coal, forests and fisheries,
so that Alaska has proven a
profitable investment
Hawaii, like Alaska, is a reg
ular territory. In 1893 there
was a successful revolution
against the Hawaiian queen, and
a provisional government was
formed under American protec-
ton. In 1898, at the request CT
the population, Hawaii was an
neXed to the United States.
Porto Rico, Guam and the Phil
ippines were coded to the United
States in 1899 as a result of the
Spanish-American war. Porto
Rico and the Philippines are de-
tendencies and not territories.
Their local affairs are admins
tered by a legislature of two
houses and they are represented
in the United States by resident
commissioners elected by the leg
islatures. Guam is under the
control of naval officers in com
man1 of naval stations TIpdar
similar naval control are the
Tutuila group and Samoa,
which we're coded in 1899 by
Great Britain and Germany.
Then there is the Panama Ca
nal Zone, which was purchased
from Panama in 1904 for $40,
100000. This is governed by the
Isthmian Canal commission
The year 1917 saw the pur-
chase from Denmark of the Yir-
!, gin Islands, for $25,000,o00.
These aggregate only $50 square
miles and + temporarily gov
erned by a naval officer.
Finally, there is the District
of Columbia, which was organ
lied in 1871, as the seat of our
federal government. The resi-
dents nave no vote for either
local or national officials. nor
are they represented in con-
gress.

The thing that will probably interest
the public most about Mary Picford' s
Little Lord Fauntleroy," coming to
the Isis Theatre next Monday as the
feature attraction. is not so much the
fact that she plays a dual role in this
picture as that she takes the part OF
"a boy.
Little Mary has played dual role
before--in stella Maris"-but this
will ibe the first time she has ever ap-
peared as a boy throughout an entire
photoplay. While 1t is true that she
has worn masculine garb in some of
her previous productions, she did so
as girl masquerading as a boy for
the moment only. But in her film
version of Frances Hodgson Burnett,s
great story, Miss Picford is constant
ly on the screen as Little Lord Faunt-
leroy or as his. mother; In fact, much
OF the time she Is there both as the
mother and the little lord, sll 10y the

A. Jones, manager of the Isis. that in
dictate this not only IS Mary Picford's
greatest photoplay but one Of the most
remarkable film plays ever shown.
Without a doubt 1t is the most appeal

color and human interest. We see

ST. PATRIck'S DANCE TO BE

The Carnival association are busily
making their social plans and all nee
essary arrangements for the carnival

series of delightful affairs of this ma
ture will be given In the form of q
st. Patrick's dance. at the Keyser
auditorium Friday evening. Dancing
will be enjoyed from $50 to IL o'clock,
with the very best music consisting
of a fifteen-piece orchestra, this add

PRETTY FIVE HUNDRED .
PARTY.

Mrs. J. NJ Blumer entertained last
evening with a pretty five hundred
party. The house was decorated with
lively narcissus, ferns and various
other ported plants. And about this
beautiful setting there were four ia
bles at play The first prize was
awarded TO Mrs. Ammon Ginrich, Of
Fort Barrancss. and Mrs. John Reed
was winner OF the BOBBY prize.
After the games and other amuse-
ments the guests were invited into
the prettily decorated dining room and
were served q delicious buffet lunch
ton.

lars and handsome velvet suits For
a dressed up boy, he certainly does get
powerfully mussed up at times, much
to the amusement Of his stern old
grandfather and to the chagrin of his
idolizing mother"
The work Miss Pickford does in the
dual role is said to be by far the best
of her career. Her sympathetic in
depreciation of the mother part is a
startling contrast against her portray
al of the boisterous, mischievous and
exuberant boy 1t hardly seems pos
sible, according to members of the
theatre staff who have viewed the film,
that these two widely different char
acterizations could be assumed by one
and the same person.
In addition to the remarkable photo
graphy, some excellent settings do
their part to make this a master pic
ture. The work of Jack Picford and
Alfred E. Green, who directed this
feature, is highly commended by the
manager, who states that Little Lord
Fauntleroy" is absolutely perfect from
the standpoint of continuity.
Some of the best character actors
in the cinema world will be seen in
this picture. among them CIaud Gill
lingwater, James A. Marcus, Kate
Price, Fred Malatesta and others.
Special music was written for the
production by Louis Gottschalk and
will contribute materially to the pre-
sentation, being especially prepared by
the theatre.

BACK TO THE LAND.

Now that the winter is over,
And the green creeps into the grass,
j turn like an ardent lover
Eager to meet his lass;
For long night Ger my church warden
I've dreamed of the joys to be,
When I would be back to my garden
And the mavis back to his tree.
SO here again am quenchiag
My thirst for q smell OF tie SOIL;
MY parsnip-bed am trenc2ng
And Groom with Joy at my toll.

The mavis Hits on his tree.
And an old, old song, as I'm digging
Wells up in the heart OF me.

TRAVELLING MAN
VICTIM OF HOLDUP

Two white highwaymen worked q
clever ruse last night on the Asylum
road and obtained $10O from a travel
iEg salesman. w. B. Newell told Of
ficers that he was coming to Colum-
bia in his motor car and was stopped
by two men who pretended to be in
need of pump. He said he accom-
modated the strangers and his gen.
erosity resulted in holdup which cost
HIM $100.
Mr.. Newell said he was travelling
salesman from Greensboro, N. C. He
said he was near Smiths. branch on
the Asylum road at $3.50 o'clock when
he was hailed by two men who were
riding in fine car. The men asked
for pump to force air into tire
and when the needed appliance had
been offered to the strangers a gun
loomed up and holdup was in prog
ress, according to the story told by
Mr.. Newell. The highwaymen took
the booty, boarded their car and raced
toward Colonial Heights.
City and county police were notified
and detail of county officers went
north in search of tie ROBBERS. Mr..
Newell described one bandits as being
short and stout and the other as being
tall and slender.-The State.
