LOCALITY NOT WELL NAMED
Desert Island, Off Maine Coast, Has
Many Attractions for Naturalist
and Pleasure Seeker.

Mount Desert island started Its ca
reer with the handicap of name that
suggests place Of giaring, sun-baked
sands and rocks. Yet 1t has overcome
this disadvantage TO the extent Of now
being put down as a national park.
Moreover. Il occupies coveted posi-
Z iion In Bar Harbor, one Of the most
popular and fashionable summer re-
sorts Of the Atlantic coast.
1t was Champlain who named the
Island. He was sailing along the
Maine coast when he sighted a patch
of land with a backbone ridge Of ap-
parently treeless mountains. isle Of
Desert Mountains" Champlain called
1t, and sailed away. Later It was Wis
tied by more curious explorers, and,
while the original name stuck, Mount
Desert island came to be known as q
delightfully."- wooded island, with pic
turesque mountain trails shadowy
lakes and a remarkable variety Of birds
and plants.

FIRST GUN IS FIRED"
IN VICTORY LOAN DRIVE
Secretary Glass and Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer Make Addresses
in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE. Md, April 11.-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Glass and At
torney General Palmer practically
opened the great national drive for
the victory loan with addresses in this
city yesterday and last night Mr..
Glass last evening made an address
TO a representative gathering in AL
baugh's Theater.
In part Secretary Glass said:
We are about to enter upon the
last liberty loan campaign. We call it
the victory loan, and it is that. But L
like to reflect that it is more; it is a
thanksgiving loan. 1t is a loan that
should find lodgment not only in the
minds. but in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people.
Sometimes we hear it stated there
has been waste in this war, that there
has been an extravagant expenditure
of the public money and that millions
have been spent to no purpose. This
is altogether beside the question. But
for these expenditures the war would
have lasted much longer and 1 am not
ment for ending the war two years
| earlier.
The war is over in a sense and the
| reactionary spirit is abroad Men
| think they can give their patriotism a
rest. l decline to believe our people
are Indifferent to the commitments of
| the nation. Four liberty loans have
gone over the top and nothing can
| shake my belief that they will add
the capstone and put the last over the
| top"

URGES ORGANIZATION
OF COTTON EXPORTERS
Senator Owen Addresses Planters,
Who Indorse Proposed
Corporation

MEMPHIS. Tenn, April 11.-For-
nation Of a cotton growers export
association, under authority of the
Webb act, for the purpose of facilitat-
ing the handling and sale Of cotton
both in this country and abroad, was
recommended by Senator Owen Of Ok
lahoma, retiring chairman of the Sem
ate banking and currency committee,
in a speech yesterday before the con-
ference of cotton planters, bankers
and business men from cotton-grow-
ing states.
Such an organization, he said, not
only would enable growers to obtain
a better price for their product, but
would also give stability to the mar
ket.
Senator Owen recently returned
from a two-month trip in Europe,
spent in studying financial and eco
nomic conditions abroad, as well as
commercial possibilities growing out
of establishment of peace.
The great possibilities which would
come from an export corporation
were described by Senator Owen, who
said, with a capital of $50,000.000, it
would provide systematically and
cheaply storage facilities as we'll as
better transportation at more eco
nomica1 costs than can be secured by
the small shipper.
w. P. G. Harding, governor of the
Federal Reserve Board, suggested the
organization Of such corporation. to be
capitalized at $100.O00.000. The sugges-
ton was indorsed and a committee was
selected to draft plans for its formation

WILL ASK Mr.. WILSON
ABOUT STEEL PRICES
Mr.. Hines Rejects Board Terms
After Conference With Mr..
Peek Yesterday.

Walker D. Hines, director general of
railways, has finally rejected the steel
prices recently agreed to at a con-
ference between representatives OF
the industry and the industrial board
Of the Department of Commerce. Mr..
Hines declared the prices to be too
high. and he said he was unwilling to
commit the railways of the country to
an obligation requiring them to buy
at such rates.
President Wilson will be appealed
to and asked to settle the contro-
versy between Mr.. Hines and Chair
man George N. Peek of the industrial
board, and in the meantime the price,
fixing program of the board will be
suspended.
Mr.. Hines and Mr.. Peek conferred
for more than an hour late yesterday.
No progress was made toward a set
t1ement and the two leaders decided
to inform the public that they had de-
cided definitely to disagree. Each is
sued long statements defending his
position.
ITO the extent that the railway ad-
ministration finds 1t necessary to
make purchases it Will continue to
mako them on the best terms avail
able and by fair and just methods,
with full recognition Of the principle
that a government agency with large
purchasing power must be particular
ly careful not even to attempt action

Assignments by Districts.

Secretary Glass said yesterday
before leaving Washington that
each federal reserve district will be
assigned the same proportionate
quotas for the victory loan as were
given them in the fourth liberty loan.
Since the amount of the victory loan
is expected to be in the neighbor-
hood Of six billions. the same as the
fourth loan, the district quotas prob
ably will be about comparable with
those in the drive last fall.
BY districts the percentage quotas
will be as follows:
Boston, S.33 Ia per cent: New York.
so: Philadelphia, 8.33 1-3; Cleveland.
10; Richmond Gncluding the District
of columbia). 4.e6 2-3; Atlanta. 3.2;
Chicago, 14.5; ST. Louis, ABB 1-3; Min
neapois. 3.5; Kansas City. 4.33 1-3;
Dallas, 81. and San Fsancisco, 81.
Whatever terms are decided upon
for the victory loan. it is certain
that one aim will be to strengthen
the market position Of bonds of past
issues, some of which now are SELL
ing more than 6 points below par.
One means Of accomplishing this will
be to make them receivable at par
in payment Of certain taxes during
the next few years, and this pro-
posal has been seriously discussed
by Treasury officials.

Law AGAINST OBNOXIOUS
DANCES.
Banned By National Association,
New Orleans Teacher Sug-
gests Legal Ban.

A Recommendation that New Or
leans take legal steps to prevent the
"shimmy and other Objectionable
dances has come from New York
from Miss Stella Mercadel, New Or
leans dancing teacher, who is attend
ing the annual convention Of the Ma
tional Association of Dancing Teach
ers there. This organization has
placed its professional taboo on the
prevalent Objectionable feature and
no member will be permitted to teach
them.
New York itself has taken a rigid
stand against the new types of dane
ing, Miss Mercadel said, and the
shining is seen only on the stage.
The best thing for New Orleans
TO 90 to initiate Maw York and
pass Aiaw against the tshlmmy'',
Miss Mercadel wrote. Even the
tickle-toe has been barred by law
here. and anyone dancing them will
probably face judge In court.
The National Association of
Dancing Teachers is taking a strong
stand against suggestive dancing.
Objectionable postures, as cheek and
cheek positions, or the strangle-hold'
have been barred. Dancing in New
Orleans is in great need of reform,
and legal steps would be effective,
backed by public opinion"

UNFAIR, SAYS CAPT. WILSON.
Objects to Imputation of Political
Activity Being Placed
Upon Him.

Washington. n.-Referring to certain
statements published in New Or
leans, Captain Harold Wilson, who
leaves Washington tonight to resume
his duties in behalf of the War De-
partment, authorized the following
statement today:
''The statement appearing in an
afternoon paper that my return to
New Orleans is conditioned upon re-
framing from political activities is
as unfair to the. War Department
and to the Louisiana delegation in
Congress as Ii is to me. Such a con-
dition would eonnote an impression
held Of similar activities in the past.
Such an impropFiety would stamp
an officer as unworthy of holding a
commission in the army and unflt for
the work ! have been doing. 1t is
hard to conceive that the delegation
would recommend the return of such
an officer or that he would be per-
mitted to retain his commission as
an officer.
"As to publicity, the situation is
as heretofore, left to the discretion
of the person on the ground. In
short, after conference and full dis
cussion, my return was recommended
by the Louisiana delegation in Con-
gress with every expression Of conf
dence ana good will"

LINCOLN COUNTY'S
JAIL NOT POPULAR
Difference Has Been Noticed
Since Whiskey Became
Hard to Get.

Several times within the past few
weeks the Lincoln county Jail has
been absolutely empty, and II 1t was
not for other business Sheriff w. Ed
Smith has frequently remarked he
would close up and go a'fishin'.
For the past two months. police
magistrate, justice of the peace and
constables of the county have found
little TO keep them busy and some of
these officials, too, are considering
going fishing.
Work on the farms and plantations
OF the county which developed fol-
lowing the rains of the spring and
early summer, has given employment
to every available farm and planta-
ton hand. This condition always
leads to less police and justice court
business. In addition to this the
passing Of booze the first of July has
made noticeable difference in the
number of occupants of the county
jail.
