major leaguers should pay more money
for drafted players than heretofore. The
minor leaguers contend that the tai
ent they develop is worth considerably
more than the big leaguers have been
paying in days gone by. and will ask for
a boost in the draft price formerly in
vogue in the different minor leagues
throughout the country.
The draft prices that formerly were
in effect are as follows:
Class AA, $4,000.
Glass A. $500.
Glass B, $1,000.
Glass c, $3.50.
Glass D, $500.
The Southern league, which is in
Glass A, is going to ask something
like $1,000 for drafted players, the same

GET TOGETHER SESSION.

1t will be a big get-together session
on the part of every branch of baseball
with the majors and minors meeting
on common ground and perfecting a
set of rules and regulations by which
they may abide in the years to come,
all with the one big purpose in view of
keeping baseball the foremost sport Of
them all.
When the minor leaguers have finish
ed the job of outlining what they want
and what they don't want, the ma
tional board will appear before the ma
ior league representatives and lay the
case of the minors before them, state
the concessions they desire and lay the
foundation for a complete reunion of
the two big branches of baseball which
have been widely separated for the
past several months, much to the detri-
ment of the game.
The outcome of the important session
will be awaited with more than ordi-
nary interest, for much hinges upon
what the minors and majors accomplish
in their efforts to get together,

BAY ST. LOUIS BANK
PASSES THE MILLION
DOLLAR MARK.
Hancock County Bank, of Bay St.
Louis, Has Over Million Dollar
Resources Expects to
Reach Larger Mark.
MEANS MUCH FOR BOTH CITY
AND HANCOCK COUNTY
Success Has Been Due to Admins
tration of Men With Progress
sive and Broad Vision-H.
S. Weston, President.

Bay ST. Louis aitu hancock county
now nave million collar bank!
Ihls is douDly interesting because
IT Is SO S4gnincanL, ana the announce
ment carfIeS with 1t an importance
Cnat cannot be ovefeStlmated.
Last week, and in this issue as well,
Ine Echo carried an advertlseent Oh
the Hancock County Bank IN when
the statement was carried in bold typ
resources Over One Million Dollars.
And the management of this million
dollar bank tells us that the goal set
has not been reached. The slogan for
1920 is "A million and a quarter.
And here's hoping!
We know the Hancock County Bank
Will reach the marx. 1t set the pace
1or the million mark and reacheue
w tn the dawn OF 1921 it will have
accomplished what it proposes. The
growth of the Hancock County Bank
has been not meteoric, but steady,
the result of business based on good
and sound banking principles and a
progressive yet conservative admin
istration. Every published and
sworn statement of the bank has
proven a new impetus until the fig
ures have totalled the great sum of
one million dollars. These figures
making a sum total so large must
not be treated lightly 1t must mean
more than what would be implied by
merely casual reference. 1t has
been the custom to speak of large
figures with an abandon that
proportions and considerations be-
come lost. Al sfse of realization
seem to have, Gen forgotten. This
Iseenaingly isa tendency of the age.
/ But in Hrs case a million dollars sig
lies more than that sum in
kValue. 1t means few banks in cities
of the size of Bay st. Louis can make
such record and that an institution
| affording such shaw ng must neces-
..ssasl- ~ cssj5s g ~ see1f fdeslco sssss
patronage of the public to that de
| gree that reflects much credit to
concerned and to that community
which it thrives.
The Hancock County Bank is G.
| cered by men of broad, progre.
vision; men who have stood the alcd
test of business vicissitudes and tri-
umphed VIGOROUSLY.
The officers and board of directors
| are composed of the following-named
| -Horatio S. Weston, president; Jos
F. Cazeneuve, vice president anc
cashier; R. C. Engman, E. Van Whit
fed, Elmer Northrop, Ernest J. Leon
hard, John H. Lang, Carl Marshall
Cartwright Eustis, DR.. A. R. Robin
son. Jos. F. Cazeneuve cashier and
Leo w. Seal, assistant cashier.
The Echo wishes to congratulate
the Hancock County Bank on its
marked success, and the hope is ex
pressed that not only will it hold the
high water mark which it has set fol-
itself, but that it will continue ever
| upward and onward.

Press Favorable to v. A. Griffith.

''It is regarded by most voters as a
patriotic duty to vote for the candi-
date who is unquestionably qualified,
especially for an important office, y
says the Gulfport Herald in connec-
tion with the formal announcement OF
v. A. Griffith, candidate for chancel-
lor from this the Eighth District.
Continuing, the Herald editorially
says: "There are several essential
qualifications which must be possess
ed by a chancellor. First there must
not be any doubt of his competency
of his leagl ability and learning. Com
plicated matters of great Importance
are to be dealt with in the chancery
court. Second, he must be indus.
trious, painstaking and careful. Third
he must have sound business sense, SO
the same time courageous. Fourth
he mus have sound business sense, Sc
as to handle in a bsiness-like way the
estates, receiverships and the multi
tude of such matters in that
court. Fifth, he should be of good
health and of the right age-old
enough to have broad experience, and
yet not too old to grow in menal DOW
er.
"V. A. Griffith possesses every one
of these qualities and qualifications
Those who have had the opportunity
to observe him know this and in con-
sequence will give him their undivided
support.
"Mr. Griffith was reared on a farm
in Lawrence county and came to Har-
risonl county twenty-one wears ago
an entire stranger. without money OF
friends, but possessing finished edu,
cation, tireless industry and charac-
ter straight and true, he soon became
an equal partner in one of the lead
ing law firms in thi ssection and has
ever since maintained the position as
E1one ,of the clean, honorable and able
lawyers of this bar.
ssHe should and The Daily Herald
Iconfidently believes will be elcted
chancellor, and when elected will re
|lct credit upon himself and upon the
people of his district"

BATHING SUITS IN FUTURE
ARE TO BE MORE CHEERFUL

GALVESTON, Tex, July Bath
ling suits for this year and for the fu-
ture are more colorful and bizarre
than in any preceding year in the
history of this beach. Silk and woolen
one-piece suits, daringly cut and with
"a goodly portion of the back left
open, are the popular styles. Beach
costumes" as they are known are
much more pretentious. These in
clude parasol, cape, sash, half hose
and sandals, the cost of which rang
es from s25 to $4,000.
According to bathing houses pro-
prietors the women are not alone in
their love for bright colors, for this
years crop of men bathers show a
prediction for yellows, purple,
green, black and white stripe and red
and black stripes for swimming pur-
poses.
Stockings, as part of woman's
bathing toggery, have disappeared
from the beach and have given place
to bare legs and half hose. A majority
of the women prefer to wear neither
sandals nor hose in their surf bath
ling.

uUNGEntOkD, Texas, July g
The Banderet OH Company, OF Bay
st. Louis, Miss, this afternoon at q
o'clock started the work of actual
drilling and from now on unceaslng-
ly the hard but sharp drill will drive
it's way through the bosom of moth
er earth until the great stream OF oil
that must lie beneath the surface Will
have been struck. Nothing short OF a
gusher is expected.
For the past two or three weeks or
more +. Banderet, the general mana
ger, has been extremely busy on
the scene with force of competent
men at work setting in position the
implement necessary for operat-
and drilling in the effort to get start
ed good and proper. This afternoon
the drill was started in earnest, and
when The Echo will have gone to
press with this report the drill Will
doubtless have gone deep and far on
it's journey in quest of the precious
fluid, which will spell fortune to the
stockholders.
BANDERET EXPRESSES GREAT
SATISFACTION.
Mr.. Banderet exressed great sat
isfaction at the manner in which the
drill was working, as it ploughed
through, heading for the very bowels
of the earth, and said that of the
many wells he had successfully driv-
en-, none had ever started so auspl
ciously. The outfit is of the very
best; modern in every particular and
powerful, with a surplus of energy &c
overcome any obstacle that might
occur. This alone fortifes Mr.. Ban
deret in the supreme satisfaction
which beams on his countenance anc
| marks his every word and action, te
say nothing of his firm conviction thai
oil exists beneath the sod where lies
the pastoral village of Hungerford
ana where the prairie winds hays
sighed for all these centuries beck
| oning man to come and help himself
at the river of gold which an omnlp
| otent God has given.
That the drill was finally to be sci
on it's deep and momentous journey
| was news that spread rapidly and at
tracted many onlookers until the
crowd assumed an appreciable proper
ton. Newspaper men from the coun
| ty seat at Wharton were on the
ground to chronicle this epochral mo
ment in the history of this part o.
| the Lone Star State, and soon th'
news was spread tidings of joy, har
bingers of great things for the imme
date future of this section and fo1
the many stockholders back in Bay st
Louis and Hancock county and else
| where.
Several applications for stock il
large blocks were announced, but Mr.
Banderet could only smile and sa!
| that the remaining shares were be
| ing held principally for those who hat
already purchased stock and for tn
| small stockholder who might wish t.
| buy more.

Sacramento, Cal.-The influx of jap
anese into California has brought
about alarming" conditions, and it
has become necessary to protect the
sovereignty of the people against
this growing menace through diplo-
matte negotiation or a strict exclusion
act, Governor William D. Stephens
said in letter addressed to Secretary
of State Colby. Governor Stephens
expressed the hope in the letter that
the initiative measure now being prof.
ected in the state to deny Asiatics the
right to all land purchases or lease
holds would be adopted by the elector-
ate by an overwhelming majority.
While California harbors no animosity
against the japanese people, he said,
the state does not wish them to settle
within her borders and to develop a
Japanese population in her midst. He
asks that immediate negotiations be
entered into with the Empire Of Japan
to make impossible any further "eva-
s1onS" OF existing immigration agree
ments and to make such agreements
as rigorous as possible.
"Twenty years ago our Japanese
population was nominal" the letter
said. "Ten years ago the census re-
ports of the United States Government
showed a Japanese population in Cal
ifOrnia of 41.356 A Communication and
survey recently made by the Board of
Control of the State Of California in
dicates that this Japanese population
has more than doubled, amounting
now to 1929. Governor Stephens
said he feared that the initiative
measure, if passed, might fall short of
its purpose through the Japanese re-
tanning possession of agricultural
lands through personal employment
contracts, and that, therefore, Govern
ment action was necessary.

Earthquake Shakes Los Angeles

Los Angeles, Cal.-An earthquake
shook the city. Several buildings were
reported to have been damaged slight
ly. Bricks falling from building at
Sixth avenue and Grand avenue in
jured a pedestrian. Office buildings
were shaken so severely that many Of
their occupants fed to the streets.
Several cracks were made in the walls
of the city Jail. In the business dis
trict Of Los Angeles the damage con-
sisted largely of broken plate-glass
windows. The Edison Building, an
eleven-story structure, and the Laugh
lin Building, formerly separated by
few inches, were damned together by
the shock. Electric light and gas con-
nections of the town of Inglewood, 10
miles southwest of Los Angeles, were
cut off by the earthquake. Two walls
Of an electric light and power station
at IngleWoOd were shaken down and
a motion picture theater and bank and
a furniture store were damaged. The
shock was felt in Long Beach, San
Pedro, Santa Monica and RedOndo
Beach, according to reports to the Pa
cif1c Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. Whittier, Covina and other in
land points reported they had not no
ticed the quake. A slight earth ire
NOR was felt here last week.
