Notwithstanding the inclemency of
| the weather last night and the mod
erately sized attendance of a meeting
| called at the Bay-Waveland Yacht
Club house by George r. Rea for the
preliminary steps looking to the or
ganization of a Kiwanias Club for
Bay st. Louis there was consider
able interest manifested in the sue
cess of the project, and there is every
reason to believe the matter is going
to be put over in great shape.
After Mr.. Rea had been elected
chairman of the meeting and secre-
tary duly elected, the primary OBJ
jects of a Kimanias Club, as exist in
all cities where red blood predomi-
mates and drones are put to death
over night, and the relative merits of
other similar organizations were dis
cussed, it was noted there was de-
cided prediction for the Kiwanian
Club.
Accordingly, it was voted as the
sense of the meeting that Mississippi
State Field Representative Bailey, of
Jackson, be invited to visit Bay ST
Louis next Wednesday night to ad-
dress the local citizens interested on
the subject. 1t was also voted that
President Taylor of the Gulfport XII
wanias Club and other officers and
members be invited to the present at
the same time. In fact, President
| Taylor and party were due to arrive
in Bay St. Louis last night, but a
telephone message told of inability to
come. due to the bad weather and
| other causes.
However, next Wednesday night
will be eventful. Citizens who 1t is
expected will be interested and JON
will be asked to do so, and notices
write nand verbally will be sent out
! to that effect. A citizen who loves
| his town and thinks it the best place
to live in is always asked to join the
Kiwanias. No one breaks into this
order of boost. Only two representa-
tives from each business or profess
sion in community are eligible.
For instance, if there were three can
dIestick makers in Bay St. Louis, only
two of the number could join, and so
on down the line of trades and pro-
fessions. Fifty members are neces-
sarv in order to procure charter
The Xiwanias organization is inter
national. Get this, please. 1t repre-
senty the concentrated essence of pep
and ginger.
international Kiwanis is now COM
prised of more than 728 klWanls
Clubs, located in leading communl-
ties of the United States and Can
ada. These clubs include in their
membership 62,428 of the most rep
resentative business men on the
American continent. The spirit OF
the organization is gaining firm
grasp on such men by stimulating
their interest in the civic, social and
political welfare of their respective
communities.

able improvements.

The Bay Sea Food Company, own
ers of the big pier at the head of

Bay Cafe Pavilion Dances Popular

Success is crowning the efforts OF
the management of the Bay Cafe
Dance Pavilion. The announcement
is made that there will be regular
dances Wednesday and Saturday
nights of every week throughout the
season. The dances of Saturday and
Wednesday attracted large attend
ance. Dancing in the cool gulf
breezes and to the time of the jazz
band in attendance is proving popu-
lar. The young people are delighted
with the innovation and a a'liberal pat
ronage is accorded the enterprise.

AS a sequence to his visit to Ham
mond, La, the center of the straw
berry growing territory, County
Agent O'Neal has calle1e another
meeting at the courthouse on Friday
night of next week, June 2, at 1880
o'clock The purpose of this meet
ing is to more definitely enter upon
the proposition of introducing the
strawberry growing industry to Bay
ST. Louis and vicinity.
At former meetings of this kind it
was discussed and resolved that the
strawberry could be grown not only
as we'll here as in Louisiana, but to
probable advantage, and the PROPOSE
ton to grow the fruit here on such
scale that would make it profitable
was adopted.
How large an acreage could be Sc
cured remained to be found out. And
the meeting for next Friday night
will furnish this information. No
less than 400 acres could be consid-
cred for the purpose in order to make
it pay. We understand this acreage
in pledges has already been nearly
doubled.
County Agent O'Neal is very en-
thusiastic over the project. He IS
sure of it. All he asks is the grower
to get busy. He guarantees results.
There ought to be large attendance
Friday night The matter ought to
be pushed to a eonsummatlon. If the
berry growing and subsequent ship
ments brought over two million dol
lars into Hammond and vicinity this
spring, it ought to do proportionately
as we'll for Bay St. Louis next spring.
We understand the local banks are
very anxious to assist in the enter
prise, and, as is their custom in mat
ters pertaining to the growth of the
town and the betterment of cond1-
tions for our people, they will be
found TO come forward ready and
more than anxious to serve.
Mr.. O'Neal's call for SiJ meeting
is as follows:
Bay St. Louis, Miss,
May 20, 1922.
Dear Sir: There will be meeting
at the courthouse on Friday, June
2nd, at 1880 P. M, for the purpose
of completing arrangements for the
development of a strawberry indus
trv in this community.
It is earnestly desired that every
person, whether grower or otherwise,
interested in the development OF this
section will arrange to be present.
We have considerable acreage al
ready pledged to be planted in berries
this fall and hope to have additional
acreages at time of meeting.
Yours very truly,
S. F. O'NEAL, County Agent.

statistics would appear to furnish
what all the moraIists have been look
ing for; the economic or other justifi-
cation for the tiapper. The figures
show that the happer .stenographer
makes more rrney than any other
class Of women In 1920. 342,068 of
these flapper sienographers paid in
come tax. Their aggregate income
amounted - S475, $40. 109-nearly half
hh.:ii!sion dollars or enough to pay the
interest on the allied debs.
That good many Of these assist in
the support of families to the extent
that they are classed as heads of fami-
lies is shown by the fact that they are
the most numerous Of that group of
women. There were 7J,446 in the same
general Income class who made re-
turns as heads of families; doubtless
supporting parents or younger broth
ers and sisters. The fact that among
the wives making separate returns
this also Is the largest income class is
taken as an indication of the large
number of young married women who
have kept their stenographic jobs and
continue to run their own financial af-
fairs. There were 20,547 in this class
and they had an aggregate income of
$50, 294, 207.

She'll go through the yacht scene without tremor. Have your men fix a small buoy to the spar which she Is to cling to and she will be all right. She really doesn't have to swim at all after she comes up and reaches it.''

 Say, what is the matter with you? Don't get nervous. If you must worry about anyone, worry about me. I have to swim out of the picture with Maud and then come back for Virgie. Be sure and have that row boat near so can put both girls in. l am not as young as used to be-"
