MdusOIeunl Project
 Is Proposed Here

Representatives of the Co-Opera- tive Mausoleum Company of Enid, Oklahoma, spent last week in Ma rianna interesting the ladies of the Cemetery Association in a proposi- tion to construct Mausoleum in the cemetery here. The ladies gave the project their endorsement and upon their request special meeting of the city council was held Sat urday morning to consider the grant ing of franchise to the company for the construction of the Mauso- leum. The attitude of the council is stated in the following letter which Mayor Norment addressed to the representative of the company Co-Operative Mausoleum Co.,, Enid, Oklahoma.
 Gentlemen :-
 Your proposition for the construc- tion of a Mausoleum in the ceme- tery in the City of Marianna has been presented to the City Council by your representatives, Messrs. Me- Swiney and Nichols.
 The council takes the view that this proposition is not one on which the council has a right either to grant or refuse a franchise for the construction of this Mausoleum, without first having some expres- sion from the people of the com munity on whom the burden will fall.
 The council, therefore, wishes to state that should the people of the community desire that you construct this Mausoleum, and will enter in- to contracts with you for crypts in the building, the council would feel that such action by the people would be a mandate to them to grant the franchise and the fran chise would be granted, in accord ance with the draft submitted by your representatives, or such other form as may be agreed upon.
 Yours truly, CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
 MARIANNA,
 By o. G. Norment,
 Mayor. By direction of the City Council in
 special session, Saturday morning,
 Jan. 8, 1921.
 Following the suggestions con- tained in Mayor Moments letter the Cemetery Association has called mass meeting to be held at the Elks Home on Monday night, Jan. IT, at 8:30 o'clock. The call is as follows:

BLAIR IS WINNER
 OVER ALL AGENTS
LOCAL MAN REPRESENTING IN TER-SOUTHERN LIFE INSUR- ANCE co. MAKES ENVIABLE RECORD DURING 1920.

i R. l.. Bliar of this city, manager 1 for Arkansas for the Inter-Southern Life Insurance Company of Louis 1 vile, Ky., has the distinction of having personally written more life insurance during the year 1920 than any one of the eight hundred agents representing the company in all parts of the United States. Not only does his aggregate paid up business for the year exceed that of any other agent, but during each of the twelve months in 1920 MT Blair wrote more insurance than any one of the eight hundred agents. By reason of making this unpre- cedented record Mir. Blair becomes the president of the Islic Club, an organization maintained by the com pany for its agents. On January 12, MT. Blair received the follow ing telegram signed by Stanley Reed, secretary of the company in Louisville: Congratulations. You took first place for year 1920, and are the new president of the lslic Club"
 So pleased are the head officials with the remarkable work done by MT. Blair that Mr. Reed wired him the other day to meet him in Mem phis in order that a new man that had just been appointed agency manager for the city of Louisville might talk with MT. Blair and secure information from him as to the best way to get business. MT. Blair, of course, complied with the re- quest, went to Memphis, met Mr. Reed and the new manager for Louisville and told them an ear full on his method of securing busl- ness.
 The Inter-Southern is one of the most popular insurance companies doing business in this section. It's liberal policies, the promptness with which it pays its claims, combined with the aggressiveness of the Ar kansas manager and those working under him, make the Inter-Southern the leading life insurance company ;n Easfarn Arkansas. ~15

The cotton futures list moved irreg-

there was a little more disposition to sell

Despite the fact that the National Gin

STEEL RAIL PRICE
CUT TO $40 TON
Corporation Makes Slash Of 81,
First Reduction Since
March, 1919.

Ebert III. Gary. chairman OF the
board OF directors Of the United States
Steel Corporation. announced yesterday
a reduction Of 81 ton to $40 IN the
price OF steel rails The cut Is the first
one In the price Of that product since
March. 1919. when the Redfieid stabili-
zation board met with representatives
Of the steel industry and schedule OF
all products was agreed to. There have
been several reductions Of other iron and
steel manufactures in the meantime, but
rails have been sustained at the $47
level. Judge Gary's announcement.
made yesterday. was as follows:
I'VE have decided to recommend that
our subsidiary companies reduce the SELL
ing price of standard rails to $4n per
ton base, I. O. b. our mills. The present
costs Of production do not justify this
action, but It Is hoped and expected that
reductions In freight rates and other
wise, together with larger operations.
Will soon have q beneficial effect upon
our costs"
The announcement came as complete
surprise. There has been talk at vari-
Gus times In the last year that rails
might be reduced, but steel men always
have secuted the suggestion. pointing to
the extremely high cost OF production
II fact 1t has been limited from time to
time that there might even be an in
crease In the schedule for rails. AS a
result. the rail price has remained un-
changed, through three or four success
sivc reductions in the entire industry OF
other products.
, Among the Independent mills there has
been disposition to sell rails at less
than SAT ton, but so far as Is known
no firm schedule which shows a price
under that mark for the product has
ever been made UP by any OF those pro-
ducers. In some cases. 1t Is understood
rails have even been sold for less than
the new price announced by the United
States Steel Corporation.
The new $40 price, It Is understood.
will aply to openhearth rails and the
schedule for Bessemer rails probably will
be fixed at $3S ton, the customary
spread between the two, types. 1t rep
regents the second reduction from the
high mark of $55 to $57 for Bessemer
and openhearth established during the
war, the first cut amounting to $40 a
ton.
, It Ia believed that the independent
producers OF steel II. lis will make pub
lie announcement of corresponding
reduction during the coming week. not
withstanding that they have been max
ing concessions in the immediate past
which just about correspond to the new
corporation price. 1t Is believed also
that the new price may stimulate rail
buying to a marked degree. Railroads
throughout the country are sorely in
need of new rails. but buying has been
almost at a standstill because OF the sls-
tained price The drop Of 81 ton. 1t
is expected, will bring into the market
a large tonnage which has been withheld
for 1ust such a contingency.
