Business in State
Continues Upward
Swing TO New Top

Mississippi business is continuing
to better even the unprecedented
high levels Of the war period, &C.
cording to the last Mississippi Bust
ness Review, which is published
monthly by the Business Research
Station of the school of business
and industry at Mississippi State
College
During the first six months of
1916, the Business Research Stations
index of business activity has re-
manned we'll above the highest war
time peak, and has maintained an
average of approximately 24O per
cent of the 1939-4O level.
Unadjusted data from every sec
ton of the state indicated that June
business was approximately Is per
cent above that of June 1945. High
er levels in bank debts, telephones
in service, electric connections. gas
connections, life insurance sales.
sales tax collections, and the dollar
value of contracts awarded were
powerful factors in the upward

ficer. Speaking of football recalls
startling prediction by Ed Nc
Keever, exNotre Dame grid coach,
who is now at Cornell. McKeever
is reported to have told Canadian
rugby coach that "Notre Dame is
due for downfall on the gridiron
this fall. There are too many schools
out to win from them this year.
Lew Fonseca. former baseball
star. is now official movie pho
tographer for both leagues. This
year he and his crew are making a
series of reels on outstanding hit
tiers. Next year he says, they will
cover pitchers and catchers in ac-
ton +. after that, infielders, and
SO on. These films will be available
to schools and colleges.

TAX COLLECTIONS

In seven months of 1916 the Tax

088.7G which is approximately three

lars behind the same period of

July stands at $516,24764 about the
second highest month on record.
For the seven months tobacco tax
brought in $3,474,732.76, which is

Fresh vegetables are better for
us than canned vegetables. Raw or
cooked properly soon after leaving
the garden, they give their full foot
value. But if vegetables are left
about the home for considerable
time or are not cooked so as to
retain their mineral contents, thef
freshly canned vegetables can cas-
lily be more valuable as food thu.
fresh vegetables.

Equal Emphasis
On Agriculture Is
Urged by Mclean

Mississippi must not overlook full
development Of its natural resources
in its program for industrial expan.
sion. George Mclean, editor G the
Tupelo journal said In a recent
address before the Ripley Rotary
Club.
Pointing to the states vast re-
sources-agriculturally and indus
trially-the Tupelo editor empha-
sized that I'VE should develop the
natural resources that we have as
well as secure outside industrial
plants for location in Mississippi"
Commenting on his address, Edi-
tor W. H. Anderson of the Southern
Seminal at Ripley, said:
He hit the nail on the head
when he said that industries are
really more interested in the type
of community in which they locate
plants than they are the amount of
money which is put up by the COM
munlty to secure the location. and
that the best way for Mississippi
communities to secure more indus
trial development is to make the
communities SO that people will
want to live in them and locate
their plants in them.
When people are thinking of 10.
eating a factory or other type of
industry in community, they want
to know what kind of school it has.
what kind of streets 1t has. what
kind Of recreational facilities it has.
the kind of residential sections that
1t has, whether or not it has ade-
quate hospital facilities, what kind
OF churches it has, and what kind
of citizens it has. They want to
know about the water and sewage
systems, fire protection, and many
other things.
Some of the things mentioned
above cannot be obtained without
spending lot of money. Yet a
community cannot hold its own
permanently, develop and grow.
without them. And besides they are
needed for the general welfare of
the community and its Individual
citizens aside from the economic
benefits.
Mr.. McLean's idea is that farm
commodities will go down low again
as they have in the past, and that
If the people of northeast Missis-
slppi continue to depend largely
upon the one-crop system and do
not bring about the proper agricul-
tural and industrial DEVELOPMENT
there will be an economic disaster.
I'VE need to do a lot of serious
thinking along these lines"

Life Insurance Scars

Lie insurance Scars
Life insurance sales in June ex-
ceeded those of a year earlier by
56 per cent. The estimated output
of crude petroleum during June ap-
proximated two million barrels, an
crease of 80 per cent over June
1915. Telephones in service were up
13 per cent, electric connections 10
per cent, and gas connections per
cent.
Construction in Mississippi totaled
50, 1853, 900 in June, bringing the ag-
gregate for the first half of 1916
to $46,634OO0, compared with ST.
557, 900 for the first half of 1945, a
gain of l64 per cent.
The figure for June this year was
more than ten times that for the
same month year ago, an increase
of 1855 per cent. Contracts have ex-
ceeded the 1939-4O average in every
month SO far in 1916. Construction
last month stood at 143 per cent of
the prewar average.
District by district, the following
percentage gains over a year ago
were recorded: Clarksdale IS, Co.
