TWO RIDDLES

1)
One of us you will find in a state that borders Ohio.
Another you will find in a state next to Georgia.
A third can be found in a state that touches Canada.
The last cannot be found in any state at all.
Who are we?

2. Can you think of a common four-letter word that can be reasonably associated  with pleasure, treasure, and measure?

Answers:

1)
The four major compass directions:
WEST Virginia borders Ohio.
SOUTH Carolina is next to Georgia.
NORTH Dakota touches Canada.
EAST is not in the name of any US state.

2)
The word is HAND.  
Pleasure - A hand is another word for applause.
Treasure - A good hand in poker can win money.
Measure - A hand is a measure of a horse's height.
