Wisconsin Wants To Cooperate

Governor julius P. He'll of Wisconsin came South
The other day, expressing a dete rrnination TO patch up
differences between his state and those of the Cotton
Belt.
The Wisconsin executive said he was making "a
tour of capitals of the Southern States, that he wanted
sto work this thing out" The governor was referring
to recent reprisals taken in Southern states against~Wis-
consin, butter, cheese, beer, machinery and other pro-
ducts.
The reprisals came as q result of Wiscqnsin's failure
to pay heed to repeated pleas of the cotton growing
states for the removal, of prohibitive taxes on margarine.
the second largest outlet for southern scottonseed oil.
The National Cotton Council, speaking for the ma
tion's raw cotton Interests, repeatedly has warned WIS
consin of what might be expected if the dairying state
persisted in boycotting cottonseed oil food products.
No state can exists without trading its merchandise
and produce for that of others. This can be accomplish.
ed only by the, removal of trade barriers. WHICH prevent
the distribution within one states bounds the products
of others.
The cotton states have proved effectively that they
can erect trade barriers equally as disastrous to ouners
as those which have been thrown up against them.
Such barriers are not, however, desired by the South
ern states.
Governor Hei's cooperation Is greatly desired ny
the cotton interests. Surely the South and Wisconsin
can solve their problems around the conference table
bringing to an end this un-American trade barriers war

Mississippi's Opportunity

With the intensive leasing campaign under way in
this state many things should be considered and care
fully weighed by the citizens of this state. 1t is no new
idea that Mississippi will produce oil in commercial guam
titles. The government biologists, years ago, gave out
this information. The first people to become well ac-
quainted with this were the major companies. From
time to time for about twenty years many sections OF
the state have been under oil and gas leases. Numer-
Gus tests have been drilled-some 487-in all sections
of the state before the accident happened in Yazoo Coun-
ty and an oil well discovered. This has upset and disturb
ed many ideas and much information handed out by
experts. A careful survey of the logs and records OF
the tests made before the Yazoo discovery will reveal
that less than twenty of the wells drilled were any place
near the depth where oil was found in Yazoo. This may
not mean that all the oil will be at this depth but the
formations encountered will justify deeper drilling in the
future tests made.
should cooperate in every reasonable way to get actual
development in their respective localities. This does
not mean to sign a lease to the first man asking Tor. q
lease but it does mean that a careful consideration should
be given the proposition and when It Is reasonably Ger
tain that you will get a well drilled, and the terms are
right, let your lease go. If the right cooperation is given
to the right parties, and the development is carried on
in the proper manner, many more fields are likely TO
be opened which will mean more to the state and all
commercial, and civic than anything that could happen.
we'll as to the present. This healthy program OF de-
veiopment should be carried on until the state is given
a thorough test for oil.
We hope that the members of the legislature will
give careful consideration to the passage of such laws
as will insure and guarantee to the oil men who are
here, and others will come if they understand that, such
cooperation will be given and the biggest gesture Mis-
sissippi could extend to the real oil men is to assure
them that there will be no proratlon until sufficient. OIL

The company is under stood to have orders for about 200 planes for the Navy and similar number for the others. They cost about $100,0OO each.
 The program envisageS deliveries to each nation at an equal rate. The United Press informant said that some delay has been encountered in obtaining sufficient wings to keep the two assembly lines operating. AS result an informal arrangement was worked out whereby the British would get the first of the new planes until the wing supply Situa- tion is corrected.
 The PBY-5'S weigh IS tons, car ry crew of five. have reputec range of 4,000 miles and a speed oi about 300 miles per hour.

GERMAN SURFACE
 RAIDERS HUNTED
British Warships Search for Nazi Ships That Are
 Hitting Hard

New York, Nov. 25 - (UP0 - German surface raiders roaming the Atlantic were believed today to be the object of an intensive search by British warships.
 One British freighter reported yesterday that she was being shelled 800 miles east of the Bahamas and another saio she was being followed by 8 suspicious ship several hum dred miles west of Ireland not far from where a raider attacked 8 British convoy three weeks ago.
 Reports that the British navy was on the hunt for a raider in the North Atlantic, believed to be a pocket battleship of the Admiral Graf Spec class, came from London soon after a sea battle in which a convoy of 38 ships was scattered and the armed merchant cruiser JerviS Bay sunk. Four freighters were sunk by the raider, but most of the convoy reached British ports
 Nothing more had been heard ot the 9,430-ton freighter Port Hobart which wireleSSed she was being sheued, nor had anything more been heard of the 4,817-ton freightel Trehata which was being followed by suspicious ship.
 On Saturday one or more sub marines were reported to have tor pedoed three ships, sinking two the Blairesk and Tymeric, and dam. aging the Anten, Swedish vesse in British service. The attacks tool place about 100 miles apart of the Irish coast.
 There has been considerable spec. ulation regarding the bases from which the raiders operated. Uncon. f1rmed reports have said they usec small islands of the regular shiE lanes and also that German ol other ships went out from ports ir the western hemisphere to supply 1 them.

In Ozark, Missouri, a little boy was playing the part of dwarf in Parents and Teachers Christmas party. The lighted candle he was given to carry ignited his false whiskers and then his costume, re- srllting in his death.
 When planning Christmas parties, trimming the tree, and putting up decorations, keep in mind the fact that most of the materials used are cpmbustible. Even the Christmas tree will burn. particularly after it has been in the house g. few days Watch out for fire hazards and take care not to add any unnecessary ones. Don't, for example, put cot- ton around the base of the tree; it is too inf1ammable. Last year the tip of match fell into some of this "snow" and burned down a house in New Jersey. Two other fires, one resulting in the death of two people, were started when cot ton under a tree was ignited by overturned electric trains, and an- other was caused by wood-burn- ing set. If you want the snow-like effect, buy one of the fire-proof materials readily available at the stores.
 Replacing wax candles on the Christmas tree by electric lamps, has reduced fire hazards at this season enormously. But the electric
