Holmes Comtans agree with this statement, but yet very few show 1t
by their actions. How can or county continue to grow and prosper II
te plentiful wealth that originates here is taken to other counties IN
states to be spent and invested? If this movement is carried to me
extremes, eventually there will be several large cities scattered over
the state, while the smaller towns and cities, our homes, gradually dis
appear.
The local merchants Ire our friends and neghbors, and they greatly
appreciate our business. Furthermore trading at home fakes the chance
of purchasing inferior products small and eliminates the expense of an
outof-own shopping spree.
Just remember, the prosperity of Holmes County depends on It's
inhabitants, and the continued prosperity of its inhabitants depend on
their keeping the Holmes dollar in Holmes County.

Why We Should Trade In Holmes County

The advantages for trading in ones hometown greatly outweigh the
disadvantages. Many people feel that trading in their hometown and
bringing new industries into the town will result in sl1ns areas and
low classes of people. These two things can be prevented by people
pannnb by the Chamber of Commerce. People who hv any vision can
see the great advantages new industries will be to a community. The
industries will bring the people necessary for the work in the factories
and from their pay envelopes will come the money for the future growth
of the community. Not only will there be new industries but also the
business of the town will grow and prosper. If people would only stop
and think, they would realize that only by trading in their community
will it grow and prosper. AS the saying goes, what is made in Missis-
sppi, makes Mississippi.

A crowded field of 10 aspir-

That was good only for second
place there because John

7 feet by half an inch.

Dennis got up to 6-ll last
year, and with his fantastic
showing in Boston he stacks
up as the top choice to be the

The only others to do it are
Thomas, Dumas and three Rus
slams.
Floyd Smith, gangling "a
year-old from just outside Chi

challenge Dennis, along with
Bob Gardner, the Quantico
Marine who did 6-101a last
summer and took third last

st. Louis Cardinals contract
today, taking a cut from the

two seasons. Indications were
the contract called for $50, 900
to $85,OO0.

agreed to a salary of $4,000
for the 1858 season, but Busch

Musial signed for the same pay
for the 1859 season.
II feel it is only fair to take
a cut, since I had a bad year
and the club did not do as
well at the gate as before, "
Musial said. He denied that he
had taken the maximum pay
slice Of rs per cent.
Musial, a first baseman-out-
fielder, owns a lifetime batting
average of 1887. He is one of
eight players in history with
5000 or more hits and one of
six with 400 or more home

history, Babe Ruth, collected
more extra-base hits than Stan
