Commissioner Tells
OF Marketing Plans
Stote Formers to
Be Benefited
By Plan Greatly

State Commissioner of Agricul-
ture 81 Corley told Lexington
Rotarians about plans for establish
ing a central market for state far
mers in an address Friday noon at
the Lexington Hotel.
Mr.. Corley discussed in interest
ing detail how such a central market
had worked to the advantage of
Georgia farmers. The speaker had
visited and studied extensively the
Georgia plan before the idea was
adopted for the state of Mississippi.
Present plans call for building a
central market in Jackson where
state farmers can send or bring their
produce and be assured of disposing
Of it profitably. Ample storage facili-
ties will be provided together with
quick-freezing service. Other scien-
tific methods will be adopted to
the local needs.
Mr.. Corley told how the economic
condition of Georgia farmers had
improved since the establishment of
the central market and predicted a
similar elevation of the rural stand
ard of living in our own state. His
address was extremely interesting
and informative to the club.
H. L. Nichols was program for
the month.

tuberculosis Work
Progresses in State
Domestic Help Is
Greet Need at
Sunutorium

The State tuberculosis Associa-
ton met in Jackson recently. Great
enthusiasm was manifested and a
number of interesting discussions
heard.
The mobile x-ray unit Is now oper-
ating in Washington County doing
mass chest x-rays. They are able to
do from 300 to 500 chests per day.
This mobile unit cost approximately
SIS, 900. another one is to be deliver
ed July LIST and a third one some
time this fall, or as soon as personnel
can be found and train to operate
it. The plan calls finally for five
units for the state.
It is no longer question of money
to prosecute the tubercular control
campaign. DR.. Boswell is speaking
of the interest manifested and the
generosity expressed by the Legis-
lature said that they gave him $780,
900. more than he originally asked
for. But the bottleneck now is that
$50 beds are vacant now in the Sana-
torium because of the lack Of suffi-
cient help to care for the patients.
DR.. Boswell said he needs thirty
graduate nurses and rs maids and
has appealed to everyone interested
in the control of tuberculosis to help
supply these needs so as to fully
staff the Sanatorium.
It is pathetic to think of all of
those begging for admission to the
Sanatorium. You know and they
know their chances to live depend
to great extent on getting into the
Sanatorium. Thus for the lack of
people willing to work, they are shut
out It is to be hoped Holmes County
will take this appeal to heart and
do all possible to help relieve this
situation.
Some might hesitate to work in a
tubercular hospital for fear of con-
tracing tuberculosis. The following
statistics should relieve any such
fears: A survey of all the nursing
schools in general hospitals in the
United States show that To Of the
girls who take training in general
hospitals develop tuberculosis in the
five year period. A like survey Of the
tubercular hospitals they under
stand so well how and carry out ne
cessary precautions that the danger
of contracting tuberculosis in them
is almost nil

Grammar School
Inspection Made

To Patrons of Lexington Public
Schools:
The School Board has been anx-
ious to improve the facilities for our
lschool system for several years.
Prior to the war Mr.. N. w. Over
street, of Jackson, was employed as
an architect to draw plans and speci-
fications for the improvement of the
entire system. The war came along
before these plans were consumma-
ted. Since the war, as you are fully
aware, the scarcity and cost of build
ing materials have made it impossi-
bic to carry out this program. Most
people agree that it will be several
years before conditions will be fav-
orable for such projects. However,
the School Board is making every
effort to improve the facilities we
now have. Being unwilling to spend
money on the present grammar
school building until satisfactory
proof of the structural condition Of
the building was established by Mr..
w. G. Eckles, State Building Super
visor, was asked to bring construc-
ton engineer to make an inspection
of the building. Last Saturday he
brought Mr.. w. T. Beckelhimer and
they made a complete inspection.
The following are excerpts from
their letter to the School Board: IAN
examination of the walls of the in
side and outside of the building, the
foundation, attic and roof framing
fails to indicate any structural fail
ures in this building which would in
any way cause hazardous condition
1t is our opinion that this
building will be just as safe for use
as 1t has been during it life
time"
Consequently we plan now to put
the grammar school building in as
good shape as possible this year.

Thigpen Of Picayune. ". W. Logan
of Vicksburg and H. D. Young od
Bruce, directors.
Proper display Of sporting goods
and proper training of sales people
to increase that source Of revenue
were emphasized by r. F. Rothrock
of Memphis.
Newspapers as the best medium
for coordination Of advertising
with sales promotions, were favored
by Glendon Hackney OF Indianap-
oils, editor of the Hardware Re
taller, who recommended mimi
mum of two per cent Of sales for
advertising.
Newspapers are considered the
best medium for retail hardware
advertising, and you can't beat their
pulling power" he continued. "How-
ever, poorly planned advertising
wastes advertising dollars"
D. o. Mansfield, secretary of the
association, said hardware retailers
must maintain pres mt business
while making efforts to regain lost
business. A discussion of tax-exempt
co-operatives as competitors to the
small business man was given by
Howard r. jackson Of Memphis,
manager of the Southern District OF
the National Tax Equality Assoc
iation.
Industrial expansion of Mississippi
and its relation to the hardware men
was discussed by John T. Kimball,
of Aponaugh Manufacturing Co.
Increased industrial expansion In
the state will mean more. money to
be spent locally, which will benefit
not only the retailers but everyone
IN the state, he said. His suggestion
for achieving this expansion was
industrialization and procession OF
Mississippi's raw materials right
here at home.
"As it is" he said, I'VE export too
processing elsewhere"

Ross Collins Makes
Bid for Support
In Senate Race
Bilbo Attacked by
Speaker in
Lexington Monday

Citing his own record of 20 years
OF public service, the Hon. Ross
Ross Collins presented his bid for
support in the u. S. Senatorial race
to citizens Of Holmes county in an
address in Lexington Monday after
noon.
Declaring that he had served eight
years as attorney general for the
state Of Mississippi and for 20 years
as congressman from his congress
sional district (Meridian), Mr.. Col
Inns said he knew more about law
and law-making and was bett r
qualified to do the job than any
other candidate in the race. He said
he would work harmoniously with
Sen. James o. Eastland for the well
fare Of the state and its people.
Bilbo Attacked
Mr.. Collins quoted from the Con-
gressional Record extensively in
his attack on Senator Bilbo's record
in the eleven and one-haf years in
the Congress. He said all of the leg
islation that had been passed by
Bilbo didn't amount to a row OF
pins"
The speaker also indicted Bilbo's
actions since he became chairman
of the District of Columbia, the I'M
official mayor of Washington; made
repeated accusations of his previous
charge that Bilbo had reported only
$1,000 due by him to the Federal
Government for income taxes in a
period extending from 1913-1944 In
elusive. Mr.. Collins stated Bilbo had
got that money back.
Senator Bilbo was also criticized
by Mr.. Collins on some appointments
made since becoming mayor OF
Washington; for profiteering on war
contracts.
Mr.. Collins wound up his speech
with an appeal for support stating
that he was no novice at law
making but thoroughly experienced;
that he held a humble realization
of high ambition for service to
his native state.
