MISSISSIPPI u HAS
NO ROOM FOR STUDENTS

UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI,
Sept. %. Esp. with the close of the
first week of the 1920 session of the
University, 600 students have matricu-
lated. Just where that many students
are finding places to stay is some
thing Of a puzzle right now. When the
two Oldest dormitories for men were
condemned two years ago and one Of
them torn down and the state leglsla-
ture failed to appropriate funds -
build new dormitories, there was left
on the ampus only one dormitory for
men, Gordon hail. and it has only 95
rooms.
However, in order to provide rooms
for as many as possible of the young
men and women Of the state who want
to attend school at their state univer-
rooms and offices converted into liv-
ing rooms for boys. Every room on
the campus that can be used for a liy-
ing room has been converted into a
living room and Is occupied by from
two to six young men. ( The same
crowded condition exists in the dormi-
tory for young ladies. The homes Of
students as they can accommodate.
The people of oxford have taken as
many students into their homes as they
can accommodate and still many stu
dents have come up to their state uni
versity and had to return home or 60
to other states on account OF lack OF
dorritory facilities, at their W state
university.
The dining halls on the campus are
| s%verflowing. Never before in the his
| tory of "Ole Miss have conditions been
70 crowded that all men who wanted
to take their meals on the campus
| could not do so.

WOULD
EXPAND MARKET
--~-e-
Mixed Feed Men Want East
ern Rates to Compete
With Other Points.

The grain and mixed feed industry
of Memphis has developed to such a
point that it is now seeking to enter
Eastern feed markets on a competitive
basis with Chicago, st, Louis and Peo-
ria. The Eastern market has been a
field heretofore practically untouched
by local feed dealers, but with the
rapid growth of the business here DUR
ing the past year the Eastern trade be-
comes the next logical field for devel-
opment.
Memphis now is the second largest
manufacturing point for sweet feeds in
the United States, and the hay and
grain market here has made remark
able expansion this year, and Is grow
ing every month.
The first step toward winning the
Eastern feed markets Is to secure COM
petitive freight rates with Chicago, st.
Louis and Peoria. The Memphis Mer-
chants exchange has already set about
to obtain such rates as will allow this
city to compete with the northern
markets, and j. B. McGinnis, commis-
sioner Of the hay and grain division
of the exchange, will go to Washington
the latter part Of this week to repre-
sent the local interests at a rate hear
ing to determine the matter.
II successful in obtaining competitive
rates with the Northern markets, II
will mean another rapid development of
the local feed market, with a very
bright prospect Of additional vary large

received Instructions o the bureau
