SECRETS OF EATEN LAND TO BE FOUND
 BY AN EXPEDITION

BOSTON, Feb, 27-- Secrets ot Baffin Land, one Of the portions Of the Arctic still uncxplored, will be the objective of the MacMiIlan expedition which is in preparation now for de- parture in the summer of 1921. A though the region was visited several times before the Pilgrims crossed thc Atlantic to Cape Cod, Baffin Lana from the point of view of explorers and scientists is still one of the rich est and most alluring fields of re- search in the north.
 It's whole western shore, more than 1000 miles in length is but vaguely defined on the charts. Eskimo har' told wonderful tales of vast lakes a?l towering mountains in the interio' but whit men have never visited that section. Its flora and fauna have uer- CT been studied; little is known of th } movements of the tidal currents along it's shores; and facts of geology, min eralogy and meteorology await the coming of scientific observers.

broke the backbone Of the German
army.
The story Of Pensacola during the
world war may not be different from
the stories of other towns But that
make US no less proud of our record,
a record which was not surpassed by
any city in the entire United States
AT the end of the war came the in
evitable days of reaction Men who
had put country first for many
months were forced to turn their ta-
tention more closely to their own busi-
ness affairs. And so it has been only
within recent months that the Cham
Der of Commerce has gotten back to
its old stride.
Even more than that. For today
the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce
has gotten back to its old stride.
Even more than that. For today the
Pensacola Chamber of Commerce has
the largest membership in all its his
tory-a membership composed of men
that same fighting spirit displayed
prior to and during the war
The man who does not take pride
in the Chamber of Commerce which
represents the business interests of
his community lacks not only in COM
munity pride but in business acumen.
And a thing that is worth having is
worth working for.
