World War Hand Grenade
Is Unearthed in Indiana

Pottsville. Ind. Citizens, here still
are puzzling over the mystery Of
how an unexploded World war hand
grenade found its way into the
ground Of a Bethel township farm
where it was turned up by pillow
without exploding.
Children found the grenade on the
farm and sold it with some other
scraps to G. c. Byrd, junk dealer.
He retrieved 1t as it was lying on the
floor Of his truck with heavy steel
being loaded upon 1t.
The popular supposition is that
the grenade was brought back from
the war by some Posey county vet
eran who either lost or threw it
away, Byrd destroyed it.

The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1937-11-18

Mississippi in the lost generation hos
achieved remarkable results in her campaign
to provide accepted educational facilities for
all her young people. In spite of the hondicop
of O scattered rural population with O con-
sequent low income for the support of schools,
Mississippi, as this map will indicote, now Of
fords to every section Of the stote Q stondord
high school, junior college, and senior college.
Her educational system has won world wide
ottention for its pioneering leadership in rurol
school consolidation, the development OF
publicly supported junior colleges, and voco-
tionoI education.

NEW YORK. January 15.-Net earn
ings Of American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. available for dividends in
1886 were equal to s936 a share, So
cents more than the annual dividend,
the company's preliminary report.
made public today, disclosed.
1t was the first time since 1881 that
net earnings were equal to dividend
requirements. In the intervening four
years the full dividend of 50 each was
paid from earnings and surplus.
Net profit on parent company
basis for the period, with figures for
the final three months partly esti-
mated, totaled $l74,715,0 900, or 1886 a
share. This compares with $l25, $685.
5047s, or $6.74 . share, in 1885.
For the final quarter net profit was
$50, 1876, 900, equal to 1922 a share,
against $35 .053, ,026 80, or $18s a share,
in the like period last year. A note
points out that due to IAN unusual
concentration OF dividend revenues in
the three months ending December 81.
1896, the earnings for this period are
not lnQlCaClVe Oh INe annual rdCe OF
earnings of the company"
The consolidated report of the Bell
System. which includes American

nies, for the IL months ended No.

$l78,195, ,433. or 1854 a share of the
parent company stock. not all Of
which was available for dividends
This compares with $l27,495. 900, or
$3.50 a share, In the like period Of
1895.
President Walter S. Clifford in his
report said that the system had a net
gain of $50. 900 telephones in 1896,
compared with 46l 900 in 1885. There
were about l4,735,000 telephones in
service on December 81, 1895, which
was s55 900 less than the total reached
in 1880.
Number of toll and long distance
calls in 1896 was about IL per cent
greater than in 1885. but 10 per cent
less than in the record year 1890, he
said.

RETAIL VOLUMES
Wholesale Centers Active
and Industrial Indices
Point Upward.
By the Associated Press.

oy bAC hoSOSiatCu EICoo
NEW YORK, January 15.-Retail
trade was unsettled this week, but
wholesale business set a fast tempo,
and industrial indices pointed upward
Dun &, Bradstreet reported today in
the weekly review.
Unseasonably warm weather re-
stricted buying of Winter merchan-
disc in many areas, the trade agency
said. On the wholesale front, how
ever, buyers crowded into centers
holding trade shows, with some cities
reporting record number for the
period. The early date of Easter this
year was one factor behind the brisk
forward business.
Upward extensions appeared in most
OF the leading industrial graphs, the
review noted, an abrupt lengthening
being shown by some following the
usual year-end Interruptions. Elec-
trio power output, bituminous coal
production and lumber production
were among those showing good gains.
Steel output held about even despite
labor troubles in parts of the automo-
bile industry.
Cities reporting a rise from the
previous weeks level Of retail dis
tribution were in the minority" the
agency said, both unusually high
temperatures and more complicated
labor difficulties combining to check
the improvement.

1886 week, however, the estimated
