An Interesting Fact
SOME OUTSTANDING MARY
-LANDERS

We can not here undertake to re-
cord the achievements of all who
stand out prominently in the history
of Maryland. Our State has produced
men and women, some yet living,
many dead, whose place is in the gal
airy of the great of the nation.
Among those patriots who contrib
uted to the greatness of the Republic
and aided in laying the foundation of
this government, in addition to those
to whom reference has already been
made in former Interesting Facts, the
student will do we'll to study the lives
of many others.
John Hanson was not yet seventy
years of age when he died. Born in
IT'S, he stands out in bold relief as
one of that group who aided in form
ing the colonies into a confederation
and the confederation into Union.
He comes down in history as the
first President of the "United States
of America in Congress Assembled .
that is, the first President under the
Articles of Confederation. 1t will be
remembered that Maryland was the
only state which had refused to join
the Union at the outbreak of the
Revolution. Maryland, under the lea
dership of Hanson finally joined hands
with the other colonies, but not until
the fight had been won against the
design of other colonies to hold for

OUR BROTHERS KEEPER

This period through which the world
is struggling is more than an eco
nomic crisis. 1t involves more than a
study of strategic plans to ambuscade
the dollars which fled. .r.
Humanity itself is on trial. The
civilization which we have evolved is
undergoing the supreme test.
If there is such a thing as brother
hood among men, now is the time to
show it.
Drunk with wealth, we have strayed
a long way from the fundamental and
eternal truth. We have been living in
a house stuck upon golden stills. And
it has crashed.
In our agony and suffering we have
discovered that Jesus Christ meant
what he said. The Golden Rule was
not a pleasant homily intended for
REWARDED cards with silk fringe
on the edges and diamond dust shin
ing on the snow scenes. 1t was SIM
pie statement of the eternal law, the
same law that keeps the stars in the
skies and the world turning on its
axis.
We speak of breaking the law and
commandments. You can break them;
but they break you. "Iove one an
other" was more than an admonition
to light the path of virtue. 1t was a
statement Of an eternal principle upon
which all law, all philosophy, all bus
mess, all ethics, all civilization rests.
Like all the doctrines left by the
Christ, this was the sublimity of COM
mon sense-the finality of praticality
the only sure foundation upon which
civilization can rest.
During these money-glutted years
we have tried to go our way alone.
Years of greed and money lust have
ended with this terrible lesson: That
wealth evaporates and leaves men
stark and with naked hearts.
It is for US to see that this terri
BILE rebuke has not been in vain. For
us to see that we rebuild the fallen
structure on the foundation rock of
brotherhood.
This winter will be period that
calls for all men to have fortitude,
strength and sympathy. 1t is, for
once, clear to the dullest mind that we
can only help ourselves by helping
others.
Out of this period of REIMBURSEMENT
we can regain our souls. 1t can be a
better world because of this period of
hunger and sorrow; a stronger Amer
lea and a sounder civilization if it
brings to US a realization we are
given the privilege of being our BROTH
er's keeper.
The remedy for our financial crisis
lies not in laws, federal commissions,
in panacea or financial errors.
The sound and practical answer was
told two thousand years ago in a SER
mon spoken on mountain in Pales-
tine.

STATE COAL OPERATORS
FORM PROTECTIVE BODY
Association Urges Use of Mary.
land Mined Coal in Maryland

The Maryland coal operators rea-
liking that cooperative effort was ne
cessary to bring the production of
Maryland coal back to its former
heighth, formed the Maryland Coal
Aid Association. One of the purposes
of the Association is to encourage
residents, corporations, industries,
and institutions located in the State
to use Maryland coal.
The first step in the Associations
program is to secure 1000 of the in
stitutions and municipal governments
to use Maryland coal. Encouraging
results have been obtained in this eff
fort of the Association toward the in
crease in purchase and use of Mary
land coal with the institutions thru
out the State, and some industries
have swung into line with the cam
paign.
For the first time all State institu-
tions will use Maryland coal. One
hundred percent of their consumption
will be supplied from Marylandmines.
This represents a tonnage of 1895
tons.
The authorities of Baltimore City
have contracted for 43,700 tons of
Maryland coal to be used by the var
ious departments and institutions of
the city government, which is $3.50
of their total requirements.
Just what the purchasing of 1855
tons of Maryland mined coal, by
Maryland institutions means to the
general prosperity of Maryland citi-
zens, corporations, and especially to
Western Maryland, is assfollows:
1. The employment of 1875 men for
one working year. -
2. support for their families,
which will total approximately 800 in
dividuals.
8. Place in circulation within the
confines of our own State the total
amount of $413,731.
In addition to the city and State
awards Maryland operators have re-
ceived contracts from the National
department (government) represent
ing additional tonnage of $751; tons
making a grand total of 142,803 tons
! of Maryland coal, $50 of which had
been awarded to other Goals last year
Translating this total tonnage into
terms of "man power" and monetary
power, gives the following:
1. A total of 204 men employed
for one working year.
| 2. Support for their families
will total approximately 1000 indi-
viduals.
8. Place into circulation in the
mining section of Maryland the
amount of $280,000. 1885,.
4. Place into circulation within the
confines of our own State the total
amount of $670,000. This amount in
cludes transportation charges.
A decided increase in the employ.
ment of men will take place, as re-
suit of this campaign for greater use
of Maryland coal. For example, in
the production of only 142,803 tons OF
Maryland coal 2O4 men will be as.
sured employment at the mines and ir
addition to these that are required to
mine the coal there will be another
100 men employed to move that coal
within the immediate mining section
as we'll as an additional 300, required
to transport it from CumberlandSto
it's destination, this makes a grand
total of GOA men assured employment
through these new contracts secured
for Maryland coal.

"A considerable sum of money is

industry" stated County Commissioner
Millegan, while in Libby Monday "Ap-
proximately 40 cars of trees will be
shipped out Of that district this season.
The cars will run all the way from
$235 to $500 per car, depending on the
size and grade of the trees. One car
with trees ranging from five to eight
feet was shipped to New Orleans. That
car brought to the shipper $3.50. An
other car will go to Henry Ford, he
having placed orders for two trees in
the shipment to be 40 feet long. Those
are rather large for Christmas trees
and Ford must have some special use
for them.

FELLOWSHIP IN SCHOOL

In a few days interclass basketball
will be in full swing. These games, to
an average sport-minded spectator, are
merely to give the basketball coach
more material for the main school
team
But If one would investigate more
thoroughly he would find that the
player scouting is only minor phase.
The important thing in these games is
fellowship.
When one class team plays another,
the individual grows to know his own
team mates and his opponents better.
He gets in with the gang 50 to
speak, and life around the school is
much more bearable than if he was
only an outside spectator.
So it is with all the school functions;
the individual is not only taught thu
fundamentals Of reading and writing
but he is also taught to mingle with
other people and make his presence
felt enjoyably instead of being wall
flower"
