STATES BIRTHDAY
TO BE CELEBRATED
BLAKESLEE SUGGESTS THAT
CEREMONIES BE HELD ON
ANNIVERSARY.

Gulfport, Miss, June 9.--H. E.
Blakeslee, director of the Mississippi
Centennial Exposition, answering a
suggestion as to whether or not the
state should hold appropriate cele-
brations on Dec. 10, 1917, the one
hundredth anniversary of Missis-
sippi's admission to statehood, sug-
gested that although the exposition
will not be opened here, the day
should not be allowed to pass with
out appropriate ceremonies in every
community in the state.
President Wilson has thanked the
exposition management for the pat
riotic action in postponing the open
ing until peace shall ring again and
would certainly appreciate the loyal
ty of the people of great state
waiting for their various communi-
ties on the admission into the Union,
seriously taking cognizance of pres
ent conditions and pledging their 10y
atty and assistance to the govern
ment at the present time.
