For example, he says there

He says this IL particularly
true Of those at the Chicago

He further states IL also true

THE GREAT state of Missis-

The task Of extolling Missis-
sippi was left TO Gov. Thomas l..
Bailey, who arrived here ac-
companied by about a ton Of
shrimp from the Gulf Of Mex
leo. which / gather has also
been claimed by Mississippi. I
do not know whether the gov
ernor brought the shrimp with
him in his berth but If he did
il must have been quite messy
from the cocktail sauce.
Governor Bailey then pro-
ceeded 10 display succession
of articles made or grown in
this state we are speaking Of,
the name Of which escapes me
for the moment. He exhibited an
ash tray which he said was
made from homegrown pressed
wood. hot plate made from
the same material: very fetch
inc pair of overalls which he
averred were whipped up from
Mississippi cotton: and bottle
Of lighter fluid from Mississippi
petroleum.
The governor held up the
bottle with an impressive ges-
ture and said:
The bottle was also made In
Mississippi and so was the label.
The only thing not made In our
state Is the mucilage on the
label but IL was licked by
Mississippi tongues"
For the benefit OF readers
who have not been following
