co. CLUB GIRLS
ENTER NATIONAL
CANNING CONTEST

Three Mississippi counties qualified
and entered the National Canning
Contest where the winning team will
be sent to France to assist with a
canning campaign under the auspices
of the Association for the Rehabilita-
ton of Devasted France. The coun-
ties were Kinds, Tallahatchie and La
fayette, which sent two girls each to
Greenwood for the final competition.
Miss Agnes Donaldson conducted the
contest which was close and spirited.
The standing of the teams was as
follows: r ese III az
First-Hinds County, Mrs. j. T.
Calhoun, Agent, Wellie Stribling and
Ruby Trigg.
Second-Tallahatchie County, Miss
Elaine Massey, Agent, Pearl Warnell,
Mildred Duke.
Third-Lafayette County, Miss
Mary E. Doney, Agent, Pauline Harris,
Julia Wooten.
This means that the Kinds County
team will represent Mississippi at
the District Contest at Atlanta where
fifteen southern States will compete
for entrance to the National Contest
at Chicago.
But for the plans and instructions
reaching Mississippi so late, there
would have been a much larger num-
Der of counties to enter.

BAPTIST
CENTENNIAL
AT JACKSON

Plans have been fully perfected for
the Mississippi Baptist Centennial Gel
ebratlon to be opened in Jackson
Miss, during State Fair week, Oct 16-
Il. 1t now appears that this will be
one OF the most Interesting affairs of
the sort ever undeYtak by great reli-
elous body in this section OF the
country.
The main features planned for the
OCCASION are as follows:
First, interesting exhibits of Bap-
tlst work to be shown in large display
rooms at the Liberal Arts Building on
the fair grounds every day during the
week. Second, big Baptist Day on
Friday, October goth, featuring a
grand parade at II o'clock in the
morning and a wonderful historical
pageant to be shown in front of the
gran dstand, at the fair grounds, at
$50 in the evening. The parade will
form at one of the city parks under
SIX general divisions, namely, colleges,
benevolent institutions, departmental
organizations, associations, churches.
Under each fthese divisions the pa
rade will be sub-divided into sections
corresponding to the various Baptist
institutions and organizations and
each section will be made up of sew
eral different units.
One interesting feature of the pa
rade will be a large float, comfort
ably arranged, for the old people of
this denomination, 80 years old and
over, which will constitute one of the
most interesting features of the pa
rade. These old people will also be
shown other honors during the day, a
lovely banquet and reception to be
given them by the Baptist ladies of
jackson in the parlors of the First
Baptist Church.
Plans of Mississippi Baptists for
this great occasion have attracted
south-wide interest among members
of this denomination and the general
publicity director for southern Bap-
lists, located at Nashville. Tenn, will
be on hand to write up the occasion
for the southern newspapers.
A cordial invitation has been ex-
tended by the arrangement commit
tee, not only to all Mississippi Bap-
lists, but to all former Mississippi
Baptists who live in other states.
