PONCE DE LEON FAILED TO
DISCOVER BIMINI ISLANDS.
Its Youth Waters Still Flowing Says
Revenue Agents.

Federal prohibition agents at
Jacksonville, Fla, interested in BIZ
mini, the small British island forty
miles east of Miami, which, since the
outlawings of John Barleycorn by
the United State has become a mecca
for those whose thirst was not
quenched by the Eighteenth amend
ment and which also is said to be the
source Of much of the liquor snug
gled into this country, having ac-
certained that Bimini was supposed
to have been the site of the "foun-
tain of youth" of which Ponce de
Leon was in search when he discov-
cred Florida.
Bimini is not a recently establish
ed institution, it has developed for
more than four hundred years ago,
it figures in the news reports of the
day by that name. Ponce de Leon
heard of it before while in Porto
Rico in 1912, having been told by
the Indians there of an island call
ed Bimini, where there was much
gold and a treasure even more than
precious than gold-a fountain
whose waters would make young for
ever all mortals who should drink OF
it," as one chronicler puts it.
Ponce de Leon fitted out three
small vessels at his own expense to
go in search of the fountain. He
left to the present generation the
discovery of the gold and the potent
waters, however. for after cruising
about the Bahamas, during the win
ter of 1913 without sighting the is
land he heard there was land in the
northwest. steered in that direction,
and on Easter Sunday, March 9th,
landed on the beach a few miles
north of where st. Augustine now
stands.
Prohibition officials credit the In
dians of Porto Rico with having
known what they were talking about
when they told Ponce de Leon what
he would find at Bimini.
"Bimini is running over with gold
these days." said one official, "and
it is certain from the experience we
have had with liquor runners in the
last year or two that the marvellous
waters of the fountain still flow
| freely"

Legislators Pay $3.50 a Session.

By vote of ga yeas to 10 nays the
Mississippi House of Representative
voted Tuesday to fix the pay of leg
islators in future state legislatures
at $3.50 a session for the regular
biennial sessions and $3.50 a day for
extraordinary sessions. This will give
future legislators the same pay for
the four-year term received by the
members of the present legislature
who received $500 for the 1920 ses-
sion and whose pay for this session
is $1,000. The vote was taken on a
bill by Mr.. Owen, of Union to re-
duce the pay to $500. The fees and
salaries committee inserted amend
ments to fix the pay to $3.50. Mr..
Dorroh. chairman of the committee
called up the bill for final passage,
and advocated adoption of the
amendment Mr. Owen opposed but
the motion was adopted by a vote of

FOR FIFTY-TWO YEARS SHE
KEPT LONELY VIGIL FOR SHIPS

TIL estory of Maria Younghans,
the keeper of the Biloxi light house,
stands out pre-eminently as one of
the most heroic and romantic figur-
son the Mississippi Coast.
She was appointed in '67 to sue
ceed her husband, by the Lighthouse
Board, then composed of retired ma
val officers.
Fo rfifty-two-years she alone has
kept this light burning. Never once
even in the worst storm did its bea-
con light fail to guide ane inspire
the hapless mariner. To this all
seamen testify.
Just after the Civil War the gov
ernment furnished common lard oil
which in cold weather froze in the
lamps and it necessitated her chang
ing lamps every night at midnight.
When the law required all light
keepers over seventy years to retire
on pension came into effect, her
daughter was appointed, she being
the most eligible assistant on the
civil service list. At the time of her
retirement she was the oldest keeper
in point Of service in the United
States for which she received the
Star Of Efficiency from the govern
ment.
Besides her duty as keeper she
reared and educated a son and a
daughter, both infants at the time
of her husbands death. On them she
bestowed all the love and devotion
that mother can give.-New Or

TO THE DIRTY FIVE.
A bald-headed man is sometimes fat,
His watch-word is his dome;
The only place he lofts his hat,
Is church, at school or home.
He looks upon a comb and brush,
AS something out of style;
You never see him in a rush,
And still he wears a smile.
Every morning up from bed,
Those noble domes give flaws;
The light reflected from their heads,
Outshine the brightest stars.
A bald-headed man is out of place,
In crowd of nice young ladies';
The only place that needs his face,
Is a crowd Of crying babies.
Here's advice for bald-headed men,
Well advertise for sure,
Wen send a bottle as a friend;
Of Glover's dog mango cure.
Apply, apply, you bald-headed five,
It's free, Guys, nothing to pay;
We know you're bum scarcely alive

MISSISSIPPI BLUE LAWS TO BE
FOUGHT BY SANITY LEAGUE.
Sale of Light Wines and Beer to Be
Demanded by Organization.

Demanded by Organization.
JACKSON, Jan. 24.-The charter
of incorporation of the Sanity Lea
que of America" was filed today at
jackson with Secretary Of State Pow
er. The league is chartered under
the laws of Louisiana and its object,
as stated, it to fight so-called Blue
Laws" and to obtain an amendment
to the Volstead Act so as to author
ize the sales of wines and beers. The
idea is to file this charter in all Of
the states to make it a national or
ganization through which Congress
is to be memorialized and worked on
for the object pointed out. The pur-
pose is thus set forth in the charter {:
''To form a mutual association of
people throughout the United States
for the purpose of combating in le-
gal, properly and orderly manner,
the wave of un-Christian puritaiism
that is engulfing our country in
gloom and to crystalize sentiment
against the enactment of oppressive
and liberty destroying "blue laws"
and to oppose in legal and orderly
manner every other form of danger
Gus fanaticism which is sweeping
America, and which does. or threat
ems to, restrict the inalienable right
of its citizens of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness as guaranteed
by our constitution. To vigorously
and legally and orderly oppose the
further restriction of the sale of
light wines and beer"
