Way facilities to towns and cOmmunl-
ties which otherwise would have been
left without such facilities. l think
no impartial person would assert that
the territory traversed by the Yazoo
& Mississippi Valley Railroad has
been in any way damaged by the in
terest which the Illinois Central Rail-
road has in the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Railroad. On the other hand
think it must be conceded that the
connection of the Yazoo & Mississip-
pi Valley with the Illinois Central has
been wholly beneficial to the territory
traversed by it. A striking object
lesson as to what might have hap
pened to the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley if it had not had the support
of strong line like the Illinois Cen
trail is found in the history of GER
tain Independent lines operating in
the same general territory traversed
by the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley.
Some months ago the Missouri q
North Arkansas, extending from
Helena, Ark, to Joplin, Mo-. having
a mileage of more than 800 miles,
ceased operations because the Re-
ceiver was unable to pay operating
expenses, and, as a result, a very
considerable section of country has
for some time been without railroad
facilities. In the Mississippi Delta
quite recently certain branch lines
have been abandoned. Other rail
roads might be mentioned, some of
them touching very considerable traf-
fic centers, in which the Court ad-
ministering the Receivership has been
at it's wits end to provide funds to
continue operations. -,
The whole tendency of the times
is toward the consolidation or rail-
roads, particularly the consolidation
of comparatively weak lines serving
a limited territory with trunk ilnes
reaching out to the great centers OF
trade. 1t is the theory. of the new
legislation known as the
Transportation Act that the best IN
terests of the country will be SUD-
served by bringing about such con-
solidations that the so-cailed weak
lines may be absorbed by the stronger
lines. so that communities served oy
the weak lines will have better SER
vice at lower rates than if these lines
remained Independent. In accord
ance with this policy, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, functlonlng
under the provisions Of the Trans
portation Act, has filed tentative
report in which it recommends,
among other things, that the ILLINOIS
Central Railroad Company and the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad
Company consolidate into one corpor-
atom, affirmatively finding thereby
that such a consolidation would not
,e destructive of competition, nor in
urious to the public interests.

should be conclusive as to the pro-

GRENADA TRUST AND BANK
ING cos. ANNUAL MEETING
Officers Elected Review Year Just Closed 1921
One of Most Successful Years in History. 158s
Dividend Paid.

Sometimes ones birthday slips by
without his really thinking about it.
But as ones days lengthen, he be-
gins to count his sunrises and sun
sets with more concern and accuracy.
AS with individuals so with busi-
ness institutions, banks and other en-
terprises. With banks, it is almost
obligatory to hold annual meetings
to apply the microscope to what has
been done and to use the telescope
to view and speculate upon the fu-
ticipation, life would indeed be q dry
and almost barren pathway. When
birthdays come, and one can look
back and see that the year just be-
hind has been good one, that he or
she has met his or her duties and
obligations wisely and well, then the
annual event is all the more happy
and felicitous.
So it is very proper to relate that
at the nineteenth birthday of the
Grenada Trust and Banking Co., of
Grenada on the evening of January
IL, that all concerned with and in
terested in this brawny, strong
|gibraltic-like institution were pleased
with the year 1921. They had every
reason to feel gratified with the work
and management of it's officers. 1t is
no extravaganza of speech to say that
there have been very few banking
institutions in the land that have
had the unbroken successful years
one after the other that this bank
has.
The Grenada Trust and Banking
Co., has pursued conservative
course at all times. In sailing out
over the financial sea, it has been the
policy of it's management to follow
those paths that have been well
marked by other banking mariners
that have come and gone over these
tempestuous waves. 1t has chosen to
stay "close to the shore" on all oc-
casions possible. When the years
have closed and the figures totaled.
its officers and directors feel that
they can say that their banking YES
sci has carried as much tonnage as
almost any other banking vessel, size
AS already indicated, the reports
from the Banks officers at the meet
ing, January IL, show that the year
1921, was one of the most successful
and profitable ones in all the history
of the Bank, the number of depositors

showing the greatest increase in any
year since the Banks organization
1t has been one of the most success
fui banks in the state. 1t has paid
its stockholders since it's organization
in 1908, 241% on their holdings and
has set aside surplus account of
over $3O,00O.0O. During the past
year, it claims the distinction of be-
ing among the few banks of the
cotton states section which did not
owe a single dollar during the year.
The Banks books at this time show
no bills payable or re-discounts.
There is on record in the Bank the
first dividend re-invested back with
the Bank on $4,000 worth Of stock
and each succeeding dividend added
to this investment, and the account
now shows $4,000 and the stock
clear above this with a nice premium
on same.
A dividend of 1870 was paid out

FAIR WARNINGS!

Editor Sentinel:
A very malignant type of small
pox is now prevailing in parts of
Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas. IF
by chance, it should reach Grenada,
we will be quarantined from the
world and no one allowed to 60 out.
The only plan of safety is for every
body to be vaccinated.

This is the hour of the swollen pay
envelope, the golden opportunity Of
which so much is said by parents and
Sunday school teachers. But the
mythical god who decides to whom
money shall go must have drops in his
eyes judging by the strange accom-
plishments he singles out to reward
with the coveted gold.
For instance:
Will Hays, ex-Postmaster General,
has made fine showing by capitalize
ing his position in the Republican or
ganization to the extent of $150,000
year, which is to be paid him by the
movie magnates for doing something
or other supposedly worth that amount.
The movies wanted Mr.. Hays, so
they held out hook baited with
$150,000, Mr.. Hays looked at his pal
try $4,000 a year and laughed-at the
government. He has laid down

The longest voluntary suspension of
respiration on record is claimed by a
student named Horner of the Califor-
MIA Medical School.
DR.. Saxton Pope, who registered the
feat, says:
"Horner lay on table with special
belt round his chest and took deep
breaths for two minutes. This threw
off deal of the carbon dioxide from
his blood.
'He then took breath of oxygen,
and the time marker started. At the
end of two minutes a slight relaxation
of the respirator muscles was observ-
ed. No desire to breathe was expert
enced until six minutes had passed.

normal ability. The world pays for
strange things, such as home runs and
photoplays, but it usually lets great
achievements that have been the re-
suit of years of labor, patience and
training go virtually unrewarded as far
as money is concerned.
Small Jackie Coogan, who has
achieved fame as the most appealing
child actor on the screen, is one of
the people who earn more each year
than President Harding. Jackie is
supposed to get 100000 annually.
Woodrow Wilson got $4,000 less for
the work that broke his heart and his
health.
When Judge Lands first became ma
tional head of baseball he took $42,500
year which, with his salary as Judge
of the United States District Court,
gave him an annual pay envelope of
$50, 900. Now that he has resigned his
judgeship it will be up to the base
ball ,crowd to pay the whole $4,000.
The baseball fans are going to have to
attend all the games in order to assure
Judge Lands and Babe Ruth that they
won't starve. It would be frightful if

air of one who makes twice as much
as the President of the United States,
more than the ten members of the
Cabinet put together, and more than
the entire Supreme Court, including
the Chief Justice and the eight assoc
ciate Justices.
1t has been published that Fanny
Hurst received $4,000 for the movie
rights to her novel, "Star-Dust" Re-
member, she had received enormous
sums for the serial rights and from the
royalties before the rowing eye Of the
movies lit upon the story. Then she
got $37, 900 more and all she had to do
was indorse the check.
On the other hand, Ralph Madjeski,
the greatest bridge builder in the
world, is getting only $4,000 year
from the Delaware Bridge Commission
for doing job that probably only one
man in a million could do. True, he is
working on part time, but Miss Hurst
didn't work at all for the $4,000
check. She had collected all that
"Star-Dust'' was ever worth before the
movies bought it. The rest was pure
velvet.
Meanwhile down in Washington
there are men doing wonderful tech
nical and research work that will live
after them and will add something
definite to the worlds knowledge. These
men get from four to five thousand
dollars annuarry.
The great engineering work done
during the war has been recognized as
one of the marvels of the century. Yet
this work was nearly all done by men
in the army or navy service on Cow

cover that home run bonus of Babes!
The thing for him to do is find out how
much is taken in before each game so
he won't hit more runs than can be
paid for.
More Big Salaries.
Isn't it funny that the noted legal
mind of Judge Lands, which he spent
years in training, is worth only $500
to the government, while his sense of
fair play and his success as an arbitra-
tor, things that were born in him and
for which he never had to struggle, are
worth $4,000 to the big leagues?
One of the highest-paid business
men in the world is Eugene P. Grace,
president of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration. 1t has always been under
stood that Mr.. Grace is paid one mil
lion dollars year by Charles M.
Schwab. If this is true few people can
touch that salary record. There are
many people whose incomes exceed
such an amount, but for an annual
salary Mr.. Grace just about rings the
bell at the top of the ladder. What do
you suppose he does with it all?

From this time onward, the effort
to hold his breath became more and
more visible until an involuntary
twitching of the abdominal muscles
was apparent; but no respiration took
place.
"All the time Horner's pulse was
full and strong, and his color good. AT
the end of ten minutes, however, the
need for breath was urgent, and con-
sequently Horner took his first respi-
ration for ten minutes and ten Sec
onds.
"a few minutes afterward, Horner
returned to his work. He was quite
normal and well. So far as I know,
this is the longest voluntary suspen-
sion of breath on record"

TSHAT was nice phrase our fore
fathers coined when they spoke
about all men being free and
equal. But that's all it was-a nice
phrase.
Formerly it was understood, by those
who make a business of understands
ing, that the free and equal stuff meant
anybody in the United States had a
chance of becoming President whether
he was born in hut or an apartment
hotel. What the phrase didn't explain
is the fact that nobody wants to be
President any more. The salary isn't
nearly high enough. Soon no one
other than a multi-millionaire can af-
ford to take the job.

At that rate the president of the
Bethlehem Steel is in a class with
movie stars. Mary Pickford, Douglas
Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Norma
Talmadge and perhaps one or two 9TH
ers have always been known as the
million dollar stars" The popular
idea was that they made million each
year.

That's another reputation of the
free and equal phrase. We may all
have been born free, but those who
were given a nose or an eye or a
mouth that photographs well certainly
got an unequal share of the blessings
handed out on the way down from
heaven or wherever we were before
coming here.
