1900 Islands on Coast of Maine

There will be no more bargain
counter sales of Maine islands. The
Dirigo state has just completed an
inventory of her stock of insular pos
sessions and has decided that for tho
present at least what islands she still
has she VIII keep.
Taking stock of the Islands contiS-
uous to the Maine coast was an intrl-
cate and laborious two years task.
Tho United States Coast and GcOde-
tic Survey maps reveal 1900 distinct
islands ranging in size from Mount
Desert, the largest, with its sixty
thousand acres, to mere dots on the
surface Of the water. Titles to many
Of them had been conveyed by Mas
sachusetts prior to March Is, 1920,
when Maine became Il State ana
ceased to be an appendage of the
Bay State.
1t was in 1924 that Maine as State
sold her first island. From that time
on for more than fifty years there
were desultory sales averaging less
than one a year until forty-one had
been disposed of. 1t was not until
1876 that Maine went into the island
selling business in earnest. In that
year, by order of council, there was
what might almost be called bar.
gain counter sale Of islands.
Sixty-six were sold within few
days. The prices realized were in
many instances derisory. Some
islands brought as little IS twenty
five cents. The highest price paid for
any of them was s445. A group of
thirty-four brought IS each and less.
Ten more sold for from S. to $40 each.
The total money returned to the
state was only S110915, hardly
enough to meet the marketing eX-
penscs.
In 1877 islands off Washington
county, the extreme eastern end OF
the state, were sold in blocks to seven
purchasers, the state receiving s251
block. From that time until the pres
ent a few islands were sold from year
to year, until now a settled policy
has been adopted by which the
islands remaining in the possession
of the state will be reserved for pub
lie uses.
How important feature are the
islands in the physical geography Of
the state is revealed by the fact that
they, with the shore indentations, in
crease the Maine coast line by more
than 2200 miles. Measured as the
crow flies, Maine has "a waterfront of.
218 miles; measured to include the
frontage Of the islands and indenta-
ton it has a shore line of 2486 miles.
This combined archipelago and
mountain picturesqueness has made
the Maine coast one of the most at
tractive resorts on our shores. If the
sale of Maine islands has brought
meagre monetary returns this is very
heavily offset by their permanent
value to the state as an attraction to
the thousands of summer visitors

Y. Nj. C. A. NOTES
Coburn Second at Gym Tonight -
Cubs Tackle Hardest Game of Sea-

son
The Y. NJ. c. A. Cubs have without
Coubt the hardest game of the season
on their hands tonightS when the Co
burn Classical Institute Second team
comes down from Watcrville for a
game at the "Y'' gym. which will
start at o'clock.
To say that this game will be the
hardest of the season is putting it
mildly as Coburn Second has a fast
heavy team made up of experienced
players who have had the advantage
Of a good coach and long season Of
competition in practise with the reg
ular Coburn team and several ether
opponents.
coburn always has aogood basket
ball team and this year has been no
exception. They have played most OF
the leading teams of the State and
have been victorious most of the
time, and among the victories are two
over the strong Oak Grove Seminary
team, one at Watcrvillc and the other
on the Oak Grove floor. The latter
team showed it's calibre in the Uni
verSity of Maine tournament when It
went through the play and finished
up without a defeat and brought
back the trophy donated to the cham
pionship team.
Paul (Gingcr Fraser is the coach
at Coburn and the second team bows
have had the advantage of training
under him this year and their play
is said to show decided signs of a
well coached, smooth working ma
chine. The team averages about 14O
pounds and will have something on
the Cubs in weight as their team av-
erage is 1870.
Captain stiles and his team mates
realize the task ahead of them and
will enter the game determined to
show that they can overcome the
handicap of being outweighed and
being up against a real team All Of
the Cubs are in the best of condi-
ton and will be able to show their
best form Of the season.
The Cubs have arranged to have
another social hour after the game az
the one conducted after the Cow
second team last week proved very
enjoyable and pleasant for those par
ticipating. Good music will be pro-
vided and a good time is assured.

| the evening. Attorney Emery 0.
Beane of this city acted as chairman
of the meeting and in few brief
words he introduced Mr.. Mclean. \
Mr.. Mclean said in part that one
of the questions which inevitably
arose in every campaign was that of
what the previous administration had
accomplished. He then made a short
review of the promises which the pres
ent administration haG made in their
campaign and told hcw the prom
Uses had been fulfilled. He said that
the country had taken TIE candidates
at their word and elected them by a
large majority. He said that they had
promised lower taxes no cut in wages
and good prices for farm and manu-
featured products. The taxes accord
ing to Mr.. Mclean had been chang
ed, but all they did was to re-enact
former Democratic measures, with
minor changes. They repealed the
excess profits tax altogether. thereby
placing the load upon tke investment
which made but small returns where
1t should be upon the one which yield
ed large returns.
Hon. w. r. Pattangall, the other
speaker of the evening, in part, said
that the duty Of the voters of Au-
gusta was clear, that there were hut
three classes OF voters who should
vote for Mr.. Mclean today. They are
Republicans. Democrats and Inde-
pendents. He said that Nelson re-
Gently made plea for voters in Wat
erville on the ground that it was his
native city. If this is the proper ba-
sis for voting for a candidate, Mr..
Pattangall said that the duty Of the
voters of Augusta was clear.
He said that the Democrats pitied
the present Administration and that
the Republicans would like to reform
it. He also said that it would take
too long to tell what the administra-
ton had not done, but that it was but
a short job to tell what it had done
He said that there was never a time
when it was so necessary that a
voter should vote independently as
now, as the present Republican ad-
ministration had fallen down so on
the work which they had to accom-
plish.
In closing. he said that those Re-
publicans who were for good govern
ment should vote with the Democrats
today and send a man to Congress
who was upright and honest and at
the same time, who from the party
which he represented, would be a
warning to the other members of Con-
gress that Maine was watching them
and that it would be we'll to heed this
warning.

Methodist Quintet Wins from Epis
copal Team by Score IS to 10

The Methodist team of the Augusta
Church Athletic League won from
the Episcopalians Saturday afternoon
at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium in one
of the hardest fought and closest
games of the season. The final score
of the game was 25 to 10. but it
was necessary to play an extra per-
iod to break a>19-19 tie.
The teams were we'll matched as
regards playing ability. and as both
were determined to win, there was
something doing all the time.

Outing Garb Is
in Prime Favor

nized the desirability of flannel for
outdoor skirts, jackets and frocks,
and this season sees them adopted in
a larger way than ever before. Many
American women have felt that fan
mel was not the most practical mate
rial.
Mexican Drawn Work.
Few women realize that the Viyella
fiannels are absolutely unshrinkable if
properly Numbered and that they come
in a large variety of styles and
weights. 1t is possible to obtain the
creamy white shades in six different
weights. Then there are the stripes,
the checks and the Scotch tartan
plaids, in addition to the heavy or
suiting weights in both white and
fancy checks. Smart costumes con-
sisting of dress and cape are devel-
oped from the lighter-weight fiannels
in both the white and ivory shades
and topped with hats Of vivid hue.
Crepe de chine and crepe marocain
still are very important fabrics for the
development of pastime clothes. Lam
shades of crepe marocain. The blouse
is of bright red, while the skirt is
cream white. The bodice Is made to
slip on over the head and cut in point
ed scallops at the bottom. The sleeves
are finished in like manner. The
girdle consists of narrow strip of the
white silk run through medallion
slides of coral-colored composition.
The skirt has plated front panel Set
in with hemstitching and Mexican
drawn work-types of trimming which
are very popular just now.
Trimmed With Red Gre Braid.
Another successful Lanvin model
also is developed in crepe marocain
in two colors, but II this instance yal-
low and white are chosen, the blouse
being in citron yellow trimmed with
black and the skirt in pure white.
Jean Patou has been featuring the
three-piece suit in his summer collec-
ton. In one of Patou's best models
of this sort white serge is the mate
rial used and the trimming is red cire
braid. The lining Of the Jacket and
the foundation skirt are of red silk !;
the blouse is of white crepe georgette.
Patou in many Of his recent models
has shown an extreme fondness for
red. He apparently never misses an
opportunity to use this color with good
effect. 1t is pleasingly exploited in a
jacket and dress. These two make
up a costume developed in white and
red serge. The loose-fitting jacket is
of the red material trimmed with black
and red leather, while the dress Is of
white serge with leather trimming.
An interesting idea in connection
with daytime garments is the use of
