PINE MEN TO MEET IN
NEW ORLEANS TUESDAY

The annual meeting Of the Yellow
Pine Manufacturers Association will
be held at the Grunewald Hotel in
New Orleans on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of this week.
The program is an unusually well
arranged one, covering a wide range
of subjects, and there are several rea-
sons why this meeting will be of in
terest to manufacturers. For several
years now the yellow pine men have
been attending their annual meetings
when there was but little change in
market conditions from the year previ-
Gus. Then it was a question of sale;
this time it is the problem of stock
One of the subjects that will receive
special attention is the comparison
of stock on hand at mill points on Jan.
1, 1872 and the first day of last month.
The associations secretary will fur
nish exact figures for both dates from
sufficient number of mills to point with
eXactness to conditions throughout the
entire South. Besides the discussion
OF marketing, and consideration of the
special papers on the program, there
will come up the questions of adver'
tising yellow pine and the present de-
mand for export.
A number Of invitations have been
sent to Southern pine manufacturers
who are not members Of the associa-
ton to meet with the members in New
Orleans, so that all may discuss the
problems ahead and prepare to follow
such course as will be best for the en-
tire trade.

Child WELFARE DAY
TO CONSIDER
NEEDS
MRS. r. B.. STAPLEToN OF HAT
TIEsBURe HAS REQUESTED
l5 GOV. TO DESIGNATE DATE.

Mrs. r. B. Stapleton, president of
the Mississippi division of the Nation
al Congress of Mothers, has requested
Governor Brewer to designate by proc
lamation date to be observed as child
welfare day in Mississippi, to be espe-
cially dedicated to consideration OF
children's needs.
Babies dying every hour because of
the ignorance of their mothers-chil-
dren and youths going wrong because
Of no guidance or misguidance-little
ones in the slavery of sweat shops,
factories and canneries-these are
some of the crying evils which prompt
the worlds greatest child welfare
movement, known as the National Con-
gress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher
Associations, to ask all citizens to turn
their thoughts on child welfare day to
practical planning for the improvement
of conditions surrounding the young.
Following the custom of recent
years, the governors Of the several
states will designate date by appro-
PIRATE proclamation as "Child Welfare
Day" Ministers are requested to
preach from their Sunday pulpits on
Feb. 16 sermons on child labor and
child welfare. It is urged that public
mass meetings be held all over the
United States, under the auspices Of
Mothers Circles, Parent Teacher
Clubs, the church, the school, or any
interested citizens. Let the great
question be "How Can We SAFEGUARD
Our Boys and Girls?" Other vital
topics for earnest consideration are:
Responsibility of Home, Church,
School and State in the Protection and
Education of Children" and ga Study
of Conditions Affecting Child Life in
