MEETING CHAMBER
COMMERCE THURSDAY
One of Best Meetings in Some Time.
Demand That Express and Freight
Offices Be Kept Open.
One of the most interesting session,

One OF the most interesting sessions
OF the Chamber Commerce since
Its organization that held yester-
day (Thursday) noon in the Di-
rectOrs Room of >. Grenada Bank.
The meeting was 8 ed to order by
the President, MIR. n HOffa. One
Of the first natter e be brought up
was the dairy and .. merry PROPOSE
ton. There was a d deal of dis
cussion on the sub. g Mr.. w. F.
Martin, one of Gr :. Ia County's
prominent farmer-cit : ; stated that
he believed that hog = ing and the
creamery business t.~oe the two
thing that could put this section
on firm financial basis. 1t was al
so stated by Mr.. Martin that he be-
lieved that any banking institution
would be willing to advance money to
a reliable man to purchase dairy cat
tie if that man was to do the work
himself but he thought it would be
an unwise act for bank to advance
funds to one who would depend upon
negro labor for the work. The dairy
question was brought up to answer a
letter received from dairy man who
is interested in promoting this propo-
sitiOn in Grenada County.
Without dissenting vote and aft
er some discussion it was voted to pay
a balance Of $1OO. to the Southern
Alluvial Land Association for some
advertising done last year in one of
their booklets and to reimburse Mr.
w. B. HOffa to the extent of 500.
to partially cover what he had per-
sonally paid this association.
A resolution was passed and order
ed sent the American Express Co.
and |. c. r. r. Co. officials demand
ing that the uptown express Office
and the freight Office at the depot be
kept open during the noon hour so
that the farmers from around Gre
NADIA could receive and ship express
and freight during athat time
DR.. J. r. Countiss, President of
Grenada College, requested the Gre
NADIA merchants to refuse to credit
the College girls prOmiscuousiy during
the coming session saying that he be-
lieved that it would be best all round
for the girls, for their parents and
for the merchants. A number of the
merchants present agreed to do So
There were perhaps twenty present
at the meeting. This was a better
than for the past several
meetings but there were great many
members absent and it is hoped that
a larger number Will be on hand for
the next meeting.

EXCELLENT EXAMPLE
OF COOPERATION

No doubt many Grenada County
readers Of the Sentinel will recall
that most generously signed petition
was presented the board of supervis-
ors some several months ago to open
up a road from Holcomb practically
paralleEng the railroad to Avalon
The petition was favorably acted on.
In order to hasten the construction
ef the road, the Dulwebber Land &
Timber Co., who now own the Le-
Flore property and who now are
erecting one Of the largest lumber
plants on that farm in this part of
the State, proposed to contribute
lumber for certain bridges and to
erect certain bridges. Supervisor G.
P. Cunningham is highly pleased with
the cooperative spirit shown by the
Dulwebber Co., and submits the fol-
lowing information as to what that
company has voluntarily contributed
to that road:
Statement of free material and
labor furnished Grenada County,
Beat 5, for building new road from
Parsons to County Line.
Building l bridge over Black creek,
building small bridges, 1 keg nails,
building levee at LeFlore to protect
road, $4,000 feet bridge lumber furn-
ished for bridges, crossing plank at
railroad crossing, personal supervis-
ion at no cost. building two small
bridges at LeFlore.
This road is the natural route from
Grenada to Greenwood and let it be
hoped that the supervisors will not
fail to do their part in perfecting the
road
Mr.. Dulwebber is an exceptionally
high-class man and The Sentinel takes
pleasure in numbering him among
Grenada County's citizens.

A LITTLE CHILD DIES IN
OXBERRY COMMUNITY

The death angel came to the home
of Mr.. and. Mrs. Lewis Cunningham
Of the oxberry community on August
goth and carried away their little
s19 months old daughter, Eunice. Fun
eral services were held the next day
by the Rev. Mr.. Lay at Bethel church
after which the remains were laid
away in the burying ground at this
church. Many were present to wit
ness the last sad rites in the life of
this little child who had so greatly
endeared herself to the hearts of her
fond and affectionate parents who
should realize that their little Eu-
nice is now in her heavenly home
where she beckons them to join her.

PLANNING FOR
FAIR IN OCTOBER
Promises to be Good Three Days Ex-
hibit-Pageant on Opening Day.
Agricultural and Livestock

The officers of the Central Fair and
Live Stock Association have been
steadily and faithfully at work the
past few weeks planning and making
preparations for the Grenada Fair
which will be held here on the 25th,
26th and 9th of October. An ex-
cellent program is being arranged for
the occasion and the ladies of the
county are giving splendid co-opera-
ton to the fair officials.
On the opening day, the Harvest
and Flower Festival is expected to be
one of the most interesting pageants
of its kind ever seen in Grenada and
boys and girls from all over the fair
district are expected to participate
Numerous prizes have been offered
for the various displays and much in
terest is being manifested in this part
of the program.
The Secretary is in communication
now with several carnival companies
to furnish the midway attractions but
as yet no contract has been closed
with any one of them. However, it
is certain that excellent amuse-
ments of the highest character will be
on the grounds during the event.
One of the biggest drawing cards
will be the races each afternoon. Due
to the fact that the Grenada Fair
comes at just about the time when
the larger fairs in this section are
closing, there will be a goodly num-
Der of fast horses to be entered in
the races here and some spirited and
exciting contests are promised. Hand
some purses will be awarded the
winners and this, too, serves to draw
the better class of turfmen with their
stables
The agricultural and live stock ex-
hibits, especially the latter, will be
out Of the ordinary and will be bet
ter than are usually seen at meets as
small as the Grenada fair. 1t is eX-
pected that there will be stock eX-
hibits from Glenwild and also from
Troy Stock Farm, both Of which are
in Grenada County, and on both of
which are large herds Of pure bred
cattle of several different strains.
These alone will be exhibits that
would do credit to the largest fairs
in the country.
Work on making needed repairs
and improvements on the buildings
at the fair grounds has been going
on and everything will soon be in
readiness for the annual meeting.
Reduced rates have been granted for
the occasion on all railroads in the
fair district and large crowds are eX-
pected to be in attendance on each
day of the program.

for the sender to put down his own

CARELESSNESS BLAMED

ALL DELAYS IN MAIL

New York, November 12.-One way
to reduce federal expenses would be
for everybody to think twice, or at
least once, before mailing a letter or
a package. Carelessness part of
the public requires thousands of pos
tai employees to do nothing but
straighten out misdirected and im-
properly addressed mail. The work.
Ing hours thus employed each year
would, IL placed, end to end, stretch

GOLD HOLDINGS

holdings of the United States, the
worlds sole creditor nation, mounted
to new high record last month.
approxiInating the stupendous sum
of $500. 100000. statisticians esti-
mate this to be 35 TO 40 per cent of
the worlds visible supply.
OF this amount the ~ federal re.
serve banks hold total of about
ss30.Oo0, 900 the bulk of which re-
poses in the vaults of the local in
stitution.

into this country ever since the close
OF the war has averaged sl5,000.o0O
monthly this year.
Some of the gold bears the stamp
of nations born after the European
cataclysm and some of the minted
metal is almost as rare and strange
to the average observer as an old
time Spanish doubloon.
Part of the gold sent here by Ger
many to meet separations payments
to the allies was said to be French
coin (Louis D'or). extracted by Ger
many from France as indemnity after
the FrancoPrussian war In 1870.
The amount of gold bars now held

closed. but the machinery Of that
institution has been taxed to ca
pacity recently. reducing foreign
bullion to requisite fineness for the

Iron Mountain, Mich, November
IA plan for harvesting of the
forests" as opposed to the present
system OF denudlng the wood tracts
of this and other states and that, il
It proves advantageous may reeolu-
tionize the lumber industry OF the
country, has been put into execution
BY Henry Ford on a section of land
about two miles from Sidnaw, Hough-
ton county, Michigan.
The plan, that is attracting consid-
cradle attention among lumbermen
has as its basic principle the oonser-
walton of Miehigan's fast dwindling
timber supply.
The section chosen for the expert
ment is part of MIR. Ford s, holdings
In the upper peninsula The idea, in
brief, is TO remove from this tract
only the mature trees. Underbrush
ana the waste wood left in lumber
ing operations are to be carefully
cleared away to protect the remain
ing trees against fire. The young
trees remaining will be permitted to
attain maturity. In the meantime
they will seed the ground about them
and when they. in turn are cut. the
next crop VIII have been started. Thus
harvests may be made in each of a
period of years Indefinitely. One fea-
ture of the plan is to leave suffl-
Gent space between the growing
young trees to permit their rapid de-
velopment.
Need of Conservation
Mr.. Ford and his associates admit
that the cost of rearing trees in this
way will be greater than the present
expense of obtaining lumber, but
point out that unless conservation
remedies are applied at once the flu
ture Will see the forests depleted anu
that the country in the future will
pay dearly for.its past neglect.
T.. G. kingsford a member of a
Ford concern said concerning the
venture and it's possibilities.
Mr. Ford is convinced that the
public interests demand a funda-
mental change in treatment of our
forest wealth. The inevitable re-
suit of the present system will be
denuding of our forest lands. AS this
denuding continues lumber costs will
advance steadily. Finally denudation

Henry Ford Trying Plan
of Harvesting" Forests
Instead of Denuding Them

will be carried to the point where
the need of remedial measures will
be realized everywhere. At that time
reforestation will be the only hope
for the future and this is a slow
and expensive process.
Practical Alternative
The harvesting of trees is a prac-
teal alternative. In our present test
we will cut trees with a minimum
diameter of 10 to u inches. We not
only will remove all wastage from
the trees felled to guard against fire
but win cut away all of the balsams
and other trees that might retard
the growth of the young trees left
standing.
I'VE realize that the Ford inter-
ests can do little without the coop
GRAFTON of other numbering interests.
Much educational work must he done
before the idea will come into gen
eral use. We are seeking to blaze a
trail in the effort to convince other
lumbermen that the idea at least is
worthy OF study and experiment"

Minneapolis, November ll.-W ON :
en- jurors where they have been

perior to men i'm dispensing Justice.
A. <. Kelllngton, deputy clerk of
the Hennepin county district court,
reported on his return from investi-
eating records of women jurors for
Hennepin county district judges.
His chief investigation was at
Cleveland, where women jurors have
been acting for several months. AS
a result of his Investigations women
will take a large part in jury work
in Hennepin county during 1922.
Among other things Mr.. KEELING
ton found that:
Handsome men do not affect womA

pretty women do men jurors.
Women Jurors are not SO preju-
diced against corporations as are
men.
Women members of juries almost
always agree with each other, but
are frequently lined up against their
male associates.
The judges in Cleveland courts re-
ported they had found women jurors
more generally satisfactory in every
kind of case than men. Mr. KEELING
