 c. Will you please print the follow ing explanation of the way that the South came to be known "DiXie"7- M. C. Y.
 A. A monograph in the London Financial Times on the history of the old Citizens Bank of Louisiana. at New Orleans, reveals the origin of the name Dixie Land'-the term applied now to all the southern states and pre- served in the famous southern war song, Dixie" Prior to the civil war the Citizens Bank, having the power to issue paper notes, issued several mill lions of bills in denominations of $10 and $20, but mostly S10. The S10 bills were engraved in French with the French word Dix featured on their backs. The bills became known as 'DlXies. and this money becoming pop ular, Louisiana was referred to as the Land of the Dixies,' or Dixie Land Eventually the term was so broadened as to apply to all the southern states. a This seems a very acceptable explana- tion of the origin of the term, which has been the subject of so much dis cussion.

"OH JOHNNY" IS SOMETHING NEW IN WESTERN PLAYS

There is an unusual, unhackneyed twist to the Western scenes in "Oh Johnny!" which keeps it quite dis tinct from the ordinary Western melodrama. In this picture, Louis Bennison who astonished New York with his Representations of the cow boy in Johnny Get Your Gun, was seen in moving pictures for the first time. It was made by Betzwood Film Company and distributed by Goldwyn.
 One of the most amusing of these scenes shows how Johnny Burke, T cowboy mine owner turns the tables on the greasers who tried to work the badger game on him. The ereaser had been hired to extract the secret of the Lost Camp Mine which Johnny had discovered He compels a dance hall girl 10 entice Johnny to her room
 Johnny finds out there is a trick, sets trap for the greaser and dis arms the greaser and compels him to assume the dance hall girls costume ornaments, tamborine and everything
 He then escorts the ruffian into the crowded saloon and kicks him into the center of the room The greaser is then forced to do a Span. ish dance in the girls clothes. At the end of the dance the boys tear up the front rail from the bar and ride the greaser and the promoter out of town on the rail. This picture will be seen at the Palace for the last time tonight

cidentally upon the trail being run down
by several Belfast men. Mr.. Luce and

! abundance in the vicinity of the Sprague
residence in Waldo. There are other sec
lions where moose have been seen and

i gated the case but could not loarn who
shot her. There is a large fine for shoot
ing a COW moose and it may be the guilty

Several men were on her trail thinking
by the size of the track that it was a bull
