The earmarked gold is held almost entirely for the Bank Of France. h. stead Of shipping the metal across the ocean. the German Reichsbank recently has been buying the French gold here and shipping equivalent amounts from Germany to France, thus saving expenses and interest losses on the metal.

fugitive to Front Royal, where he
was delivered to Sheriff Collins and
placed in the county jail.
Harpine, a trusty, walked off
from the road camp last week and
had made his way to Star Tan
merry, near the West Virgins. line.
Az he passed the constable's home
he stopped and asked Mrs. Clowser,
who was sitting on the porch,
what time it was. This proved
his undoing as Mrs. Clowser mott
Harpine a half mile away.
Harpine submitted to arrest
without resistance, stating that he
wanted to find some work and
send some money to his wife and
children in Warren county.
