 Reports indicated that householders and owners of apartment buildings were ob- taining coal only with the greatest diff iculty and that the visible supply was rapidly diminishing. Dealers, who at tributed the shortage to lack of cars, asserted no relief was in sight
 In an effort to reduce the coal con sumption, the city health commissioner urged Chicagoans to reduce the average office and house temperature from 70 to 60 degrees.

Mississippi Centennial Special

The Grown in Mississippi
special train to San Francisco last
year was one of the most success
full that ever ran from any place.
The greater number of those who
made this trip insisted that an
other be made this year. The
opportunity for advertising Mis-
sissippi and Mississippi products
by this means is without a supe-
rlor.
Arrangements are being per-
fected for a similar train to be
known as the Mississippi Gen.
tenniaI Special" to run from
Jackson to Chicago. Buffalo.
Niagara Falls, and possibly On
tario, in August of this year.
The exact route to be travelled
and the itinerary cannot be an
nounced for some time yet.
The train will be solid steel as
before with accommodations for
$50 passengers. Two car loads
of exhibits and large quantities
of advertising matter will be
carried. About Is days. be
required for the trip and approx
imately so stops made for boost
ing purposes. The entire territory
traversed will be first class for
such purposes; much better than
that covered by the Grown in
Mississippi special last year.
Governor Theo. G.. Bilbo has
expressed a desire to make the
trip and will gladly make talks
at every stop, telling about Mis-
sissippi and her products.
Sponsors from the various coun-
ties and towns will be provided
as last year. Everyone who de.
sires to do some good and effect
i've work for his or her commu-
nifty is invited to make the trip.
Business organizations through
out the state are urged to be
represented. Also farmers and
stock men who would like to see
what farming is in the sections
to be visited. It must be a live
crowd of representative Missis-
sippians who will take advantage
of every opportunity to let it be
known that they are from Mis-
sissippi and proud Of it.
All arrangements will be made
in advance, and many courtesies
will be shown members Of the
party at all of the stops made.
It will not be a profit train by
any means, each passenger pay
ing for what they get and no
more. Details concerning the
trip will be gwen out from time
to time.
No more enthusiastic crowd
than that Of last year will ever
be gotten together, but it must
be as much so. The legitimate
expenses of the trip will be ap-
~proximately SIPS. Write H. E.
Blakeslee, Jackson. as soon as
possible If you can make the trip.
The reservations made during
the next few weeks will deter
mine the success of the project.
