JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 17.-Prac-
tically one-half of Mississippis mini
mum quota of $500, 900 for the capl-
tai stock of the Federal Foreign
Finance corporation was pledged at
the meeting of the Mississippi Bank
ers' association in this city yester-
day, and officers of the organization
are confident that the remainder will
be forthcoming prior to Dec. III. the
date fixed for closing the BOOKS al
headquarters in New Orleans.
The actual subscriptions taken dur
ing the meeting totaled $277,4O and
others received before the bankers
left the city brought the total up TO
the 100000 mark. =
The banks are asked to pledge 8
per cent of their capital stock ana
surplus. and several of the institu-
tions subscribed for stock in excess
of that figure. In fact, it was the
almost unanimous opinion among the
bankers that the corporation ought
to start business with capital or
not less than $12,000,000, and they
are certain that Mississippi Will fur-
nish it's quota on this basis.
Less than half the banks. state and
national, had representatives present
at the meeting, but many sent let
ters expressing their hearty sym
nathy and Willingness to join. The
state board of bank examiners nave
given their approval to the plan, ana

BABSON OUTLINES
TEN REASONS FOR
j. S. PROSPERITY
Famous StatistiCian Asserts
Business Is on Firm Basis
and That Business Men
Should Be More Optimistic.
By International News service.)

by international News Serviee.)
WELLESLEY, Mass, Nov. IL
Ten reasons why the business out
look in the United States is favor
able and why business men should
assume more optimistic attitude are
given by Roger w. Babson, famous
statistician. Here they are:
First, the working people in this
country are in possession Of the
great majority of the bonds iSsued
by the United States government dur
ing the war. This is a very favor
able sign, for 1t shows that the great
mass of people are in a sound fl
nancial condition.
Second, that as a result of the
coming of national prohibition two
and one-half billion dollars previous
ly wasted in this industry yearly is
now available for business projects
that are more useful and more likely
. TO promote the welfare of all peo-'
pie.
Third, that in spite of the wide
spread opinion to the contrary, the
-SNNAoA 4CDSA Ddllh 6JobCul has
been an important factor in stabiliz-
ing financial conditions in this coun-
try.
Fourth, that advertising is now
an influential means of molding
public opinion. This profession has
now reached such an advanced and
scientific stage in its development
that it is logical means by which
the people of the country can be
convinced that, contrary to their
present opinion, business is really on
a firm basis and that there is no
cause for the present depression.
Fifth, that the argument that the
falling off of our foreign trade will
prove, ruinous is ill-founded, for such
trade only constitutes 5 per cent of
the total. What little stoppage there
has been in this field, therefore is of
little or no consequence and will have
no noticeable effect on the general
business outlook.
Sixth, that recently the standard
ization of manufacturing processes
has been increasing with such amaz-
ing rapidity that there has been a
considerable reduction in the cost oil
commodities. This Is a permanen;
Influence of no mean importance and
should not be sighted in any con-
sideration of the. future of industries
in general.
Seventh, that all statistics gath
cred recently offer overwhelming
proof that seasonal fluctuations in
production in this country are rapid
ly decreasing. This will prove to be
very beneficial, as it will tend tc
make the demands for labor more
constant.
Eighth, that taxation will be radi-
cally reduced in the near future.
Ninth, that rapid progress is being
made in Industrial education with sth(
result that the men employed in in.
dustrial plants are much better train,
ed for their tasks and are perform
ing them with far greater efficiency
The trade schools that are now es-
tablshed in all sections of the coun-
try are accomplishing wonders il
this way.
Tenth that the United States as &
result of the war is now a creditor
nation instead of a debtor nation
and, therefore, is in veky powerful
position in the business world"

First, that the war department
