Ex-Gov. Hugh White
Announces Industrial
Meeting In Jackson

Former Governor Hugh White,
Chairman of the Board of Di-
'ectors of Mississippi Industries,
Inc, announced that a group of
local business and civic leaders
will meet with company repre-
sentatives Tuesday, January II,
7:30 p. M, at the City Hall, to
hear their plan for industrial de-
velopment in Mississippi.
The former governor heads
his newly organized company
whose aim is to create, develop
and own manufacturing opera
tons throughout the state. He
pointed out that Mississippi has
an abundance of industrial op-
portunitieS.
Our industrial and economic
progress needs to be accelerated
and one of the best ways to
9complish this is to begin de-
veloping our own manufactur-
ing operations rather than de-
pending mainly on out-of-state
capital as we have in the past"
This meeting is one of several
being held throughout the state
to acquaint community leaders
with the company's aims and
purposes.

reports a 1855 attendance in
crease over last years attendance
records.
Over 16,645 guests from all
parts of Mississippi and other
states have visited the museum
which is located on Jefferson

cate.

Bow Scouts, civic clubs, family
groups and individuals make up
the growing list of visitors to the

ciments are shown in their ma
tive habitats. A collection of ap-
proximately $1,000 specimens
representing over $50 species of
Mississippi vertebrate wildlife is
housed in the research labora-
tories.
Teachers t%hrougout the state
are encouraged to use the mu-
scum when teaching wildlife
units. B. E. Candy Director of
the Museum, asks that appoint
ments for groups desiring lee
ture tours be made in advance.
Since April and May are the
months when attendance is
greatest it is recommended that

MISSISSIPPI OBSERVES
CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL

At 10 a. m. on January 8,
1861, at Jackson, Mississippi be-
came the second Southern state
to secede from the Union. On
April IL of that year, Fort Sum
ter was fired upon, and the
long and bloody War Between
the States began. This year be-
gins the commemoration of that
wars centennial by Mississippi
and many of her sister states.
This Centennial is not a CONNER
cial venture, but it does furnish
an opportunity for Mississippi
to offer her hospitality to the
thousands of visitors who will
come to tour the states historic
shrines and to take part in the
many observances planned in
commemoration of that event.

!4-State Area Growth
Reflected By Report
OF New Orleans Firm

Statistics released today by
Clyde L. Houk, District Manager
of the New Orleans office OF
Dun and Bradstreet, Inc, re-
fleet the growth of business
firms during the past ten years.
In the area of Mississippi, Lou
isiana, Alabama and Florida,
covered by the New Orleans
office of Dun and Bradstreet,
Inc, which includes 96 counties
and parishes.
Figures obtained from a ply
steal count of the Dun and Brad
street Reference Book for jan
uary 1861, total 61,1507 business
es IS compared to 51,785 bust
nesses in 1850 = an increase of
10 per cent.
Houk pointed out that state
ment requests were mailed to
341 businesses in Holmes Coun-
ty. According to Houk, each jan
uary business concerns in all
parts of the United States are
asked by Dun and Bradstreet
for copies of their financial state
ments. This year requests are
being sent to approximately
three million business concerns
= to the corner grocery store
as well as to the businesses
worth millions.
The Dun and Bradstreet Re
ference Book lists those manu-
%facturers, wholesalers, and re-
tailers who seek or grant com
mercial credit but it does not
include some of the service and
professional businesses such as
beauty and barber shops, securi-
tv dealers and real estate bro
kers. Therefore, the figures for
total business in the United
Sta,es would be higher than
those quoted above.
During the past year, Houk
added, 1901 changes were made
in the Dun and Bradstreet Re
ference Book listings of con
Germs in 80 Mississippi Counties.
The changes included 1889 names
added, 1879 names deleted, and
3043 changes in the ratings of
continuing businesses.
When the owner or officer OF
a business, or his accountant
fills in and mails his financial
statement to Dun and Brad
street, it becomes a part of the
credit report on his business
and a factor in determining the
credit rating of his business.
Mailing the statement, rather
than waiting for the Dun ano
Bradstreet reporters call means
a concerns important supplierS
will quickly have the latest
facts on which to make credit
and sales decisions. When the
Dun and Bradstreet reporter re-
ceives a financial statement in
advance of his call, he can make
a more detailed analysis of the
financial condition of the bust
ness and discuss its operation
more intelligently. o6F

Cotton
Bulletin

Spot cotton prices were steady
during the two week period
December % through January 5
covered by this report, according
&C the Department of Agricul-
ure. Trading in spot cotton on
south central markets increased.
Domestic and foreign mill buy
ing were relatively heavy during
the holiday season. Harvesting
neared completion in many To-
calities and inclement weather
kept scrapping to a minimum.
MIDDLING 1-1/16" cotton
was quoted on the Memphis
market at 31.35 cents per pound
on January 5. This is unchanged
from two weeks earlier and com
pares with $3.50 cents on the
corresponding date a year ago.
Middling 1-1/16" was quoted
IN the Little Rock, Greenwood
and New Orleans markets at
31.50, 31.75 and 31.25 cents per
pound respectively.
SPOT COTTON DEMAND for
most qualities was fairly strong
during the holiday weeks. De
mand was strongest for Strict
Low Middling and lower White
and most Colored grades. Offer
ings of these qualities were rela-
lively small in volume. Buying
from local CHA catalogs was
confined generally to Strict Low
Middling and lower grades. Gen
orally no bids were submitted
for Middling and higher White
grades in c~atalogs. Reported pur-
chases on the Memphis, Little
Rock, Greenwood and New
| Orleans markets for the period
December % through January 5
totaled 1868 00 bales. This com
pares with $500 in the same
| period last season.
DOMESTIC MILL interest
strengthened. Interest in MIDI
ling 1-1/16 cotton increased
from a week earlier. Shippers
were selling a moderate volume
of most qualities for January,
February and March delivery
and a fairly heavy volume for
prompt delivery.
FOREIGN MILL inquiries con-
tinued numerous but purchases
were smaller than during the
first half of December. Demand
| covered a wide range of quail
ties. Merchants on the Memphis
and New Orleans markets re-
ported sales to mills in England,
Germany, France, Italy, Switzer-
land, Holland and Japan.

GROUND BEEF SUGGESTIONS

Have you tried making lndl-
vidual meat loaves? Or filling
muffin cups with ground beer
to insure equal portions for
Ill?
Filled patties r popular, too.
Cooked rice, grated cheese, thick
barbecue sauce, sauted mush-
oomS or diced onions go well
between two very thin ground
)eef patties before cooking.
Add chopped fresh cranberries
o your meat loaf or meat balls.
# you make tiny meat balls, you
get from six to eight from a
pound of ground beef. Form
ground beef into oblong patties

Everyone can at least have
