not be reached. Linda knew that
she must discover if he were re-
sponsible. and make him stop the
rumors.
Perhaps Honey was the only
one who knew, and if Honey did
talk what weight would her stories
carry? Her listeners would be
wise enough to know that the Cos
sip was malicious and remember
that Linda had been rival of the
beloved star on more than one oc-
casion.
But if she thought Honey was
the only one to talk about her,
Linda was mistaken. The Pirls in
HOLLYWOOD were no different from
the girls in Newton, keokuk, Des
Monies or any other place where
one popular girl, lacking a free
and easy manner, is often mis-.
taken for snob. Since Linda
gave little thought to people who
did not interest her, it had not oc-
CURED to her that they might
have been thinking of her. or
that they would be only too glad
to bounce on a fallen angel. Or
that casting first stones was a
form of entertainment.
Esther Rowell, the famous old
character. actress, was one of
Ijnda's best friends, and it was
from her that Linda again. heard
about the night she wanted never
to remember again.

being able to discover new stars.
Soon she is celebrity.

wood. Linda sees him and they
quarrel.
Thorne drives her to a noun
tain resort where the company is
to begin work rext day. Arriving,
they find the place deserted.
NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII
The next time Linda travelled
the road to San Jacinto it was
daylight and she was with the
players in her company. She
would not have recognized the de-
serted spot where she had been
forced TO spend the night with
Thornr. Sets had been built,
cabins made habilable, and now
there was action. And she Was
much too busy to think again of
that night.
They remained for nearly 4 fort
night. Linda heard nothing from
Thornc, but the day she returned
home he turnedt up unexpectedly
at her apartment.
GIVE missed you" he said. He
said other things and when he had
left Liuda had the feeling that he
had been trying to force her to say
something - what she did not
know. but her earlier feeling OF
disQuiet awoke again.
However, she had other things
to think about. Careers wax and
wane with surprising swiftneSS in
the moving picture business. Linda
knew that she had reached the top,
but could she stay there? Her
contract would be up in two
and her company had no
option. Paul Lconhardt had come
out from the New York office to
head Commonwealth, and changes
were in the air. Linda had no rea-
son to think her contract would
not be renewed. On the other
hand she knew Leonhardt was
bringing out new writers. 1t was
difficult not to worry.
Linda had gone completely
spend-thrift, she thought unhap-
PLY, thrusting the mounting pile
of bills back into her desk. She
had bought clothes recklssly, had
her apartment redecorated, enter
tanned extensively. She was sud-

denly appalled, to realize that she
spent more in week than she had
in months when she lived in New
town. Yes, it was necessary to
have her contract renewed. She
had enough money now to pay her
debts, but when they were paid
there would be little or nothing
left.
1t was not comfortable time
for her. The only reassuring thing
was Dix's happiness. He was
working in Thorne's picture, and
the director liked his work, he had
said. She found escape from her
own worries, thinking of this and
the bright future when Dix would
be established and she would be
his wife. She wanted to go on
working after her marriage. Life
wasn't very amusing for wives in
Hollywood who had no work, and,
besides, she felt that Dix would
want her to continue.
Some day she and Dix would
leave Hollywood and then their
real life would begin. Linda was
a little tired of her. career and
sought refuge in dreaming of the
future, even. when the present was
SO terribly important.
She ceased worrying about
Thorne in her anxiety over her
contract and would have forgotten
the incident entirely had she not
found herself at Anrc Aliens
party, discussing the mountain Sc
uuence of the picture they had
finished making that day.
81 left the day before the last
scenes were shot" Linda said in
answer to some question. -.
Honey Harmon was in THAT ut
tie group. She stabbed an olive
in her glass and raised vide eyes
to Linda'S face.
"Y0u mean the week before,
don't you" she asked sweetIy.
Linda couldn't quite adjust her
self. Had that been a slip ON
Honey's part? 1t was 4 week be-
fore that she and Thorne

There was no MISLEADING her
now. Somehow, this girl who
hated Linda because Linda had

ago, then taken Thorne from her,
knew that she and Thorne had
spent the night there.

cotton has in a large measure
been the history of the state.
It was the great cotton era OF
a century ago that built Missis
sippi's ante-bellum civilization
after the War and through the
period Of Reconstruction it was
King Cotton that sustained it
Even yet, Mississippians' daily
lives and seasonal activities are

will be remembered as a banner

This year, on a million less
acres than they usually

Twenty Factories
Begin Operations
NUMEROUS INDUSTRIES
LOCATE IN MISSISSIPPI

The upward surge of Mississlp
pi out Of the depression is no
where better demonstrated thar
in the growth Of new industries
in the past several months. Alto
gether, some twenty new factor
les have begun operations, bring
in new payrools of $1,250,O00
Most Of the new plants are tex
tile mills, manufacturing clothing,
and woven and knitted goods
but in addition to these carmen
factories new plants have beer
brought in TO make plywood and
hoe handles, cheese, mixed feeds
and filtroling compound.
The rapid growth of garment
factories in the state is but an
evidence Of the wholesale trel
southward of the eastern textile
industry. The new plant at vicks'
burg, manufacturing work cloth
from Mississippi : made cloth
woven from Mississippi : grown
cotton, is a sample Of the type OF
development the state may logi-
caliy expect during the coming
The new fltrol plant, mining
its Bentonfte ore from Smith
County aud processing it with
natural gas as fuel, is the
of its kind in the world.
Cheese plants and woodworking
factories are logical outgrowths
of the dairy and numbering devel-
opments of the past decade. There
is no typical cotton state that can
match Mississippi's phenomenal
increase in dairy and beef cattle
and in South Mississippi's vast
longleaf and slash pine forests
there is a permanent source OF
raw material for woodworking
and woodpulp factories.

Land To State
A ACRES PROPERTY GIVEN
FOR PARK ENTRANCE.

j. 3. Burch, widely known citl.
zen Of Holmes county, has decided
to the state of Mississippi "A acres
of his land located on Highway
81, three miles south Of Durant.
Mr.. Burch's gift to the state
will make possible a 300 foot wide
right-of-way one mile long which
will s4rve as a front entrance to
Holmes County State Park. Had
it not been for Mr.. Burch's gift
the park would not have had a
clear front entrance from the
highway, making it necessary for
traffic to go several miles around
in order to get into the park.
Ten cabins are rapidly being
completed which will be complete
housing units. The cabins will be
equipped with electric lights, gas,
etc.
