C„ DECEMBER 29, 1927 "■50 FE^! “EVERY MONTH IS CHRISTMAS” HOW MISSISSIPPI IS ADVANC ING ITS CHEESE AND DAIRY INTERESTS (From Manufacturers Record) In a- letter to the Manufacturers Record telling of recent progress . in Mississippi in the development of the dairying and cheese indus tries of that State and the increas ed interest In pure-hred stock, L. J. Folse, general manager of the Mississippi State Board of,Devel opment, writes as follows: ••The Borden Milk Company’s condenser,v at Starkitviilc, Miss., paid out $150,000 recently to the farmers in that territory. The in teresting fact about the rapid de velopment of that valuable plant is that approximately 40 per cent of the milk is being furnished by negro farmers, tenants and owners Every month is Christmas fob the farmers within a radius of 24 mil es ofAftarksville. In the territory around Tupelo, where the Carnation Milk Com pany is operating a large conden sery, you will find the same story. After operating for only four months, the Carnation people have decided to practically double the capacity of this eondensery. “We count the Kraft Cheese Company as one of our most vahi _able acquisitions. They have un der construction cheese plants which will cost nearly $100,000 when completed at the following ^ points -in Mississippi: Durant, IttPesson, Louisville, Houston and Valley; they will soon erect ^■cheese plant at New Albany, al Mb one of our thriving dairy com IFfminities. In addition A. H. Rar I* her, of £hjcago is putting in a I .^•jPrpJaht at Columbus, Miss., *<LXl is investigating other locali ties in that territory. X. A, Kram er of MeComb, will build five cheese plants adjacent to Met onsb, one being practically ready for operation. ' “We have several ideal locations for dairying industries in North Mississippi and the only apprehen sion we 'nave is that our people will try to grow too fast. We are cautioning them and it would he . interesting to you to see the meth odical and businesslike way every body is co-operating in surveying their respective counties and dis tricts to find out exactly the sup ply of milk and the deficiency in dairy cattle and pure bred bulls. “As aiv illustration of what bus iness men can do. the Exchange CiubR of this city, through one of Its members. T. Mitchell Robinson, surveyed Hinds County, of which Jackson is the count'y seat. They • visited every' farm, and tabulated the number of cattle on hand and estimated the number of cows each farm would take care of. Asa re sult. of this survey they will dis tribute throughout Hinds County twenty pure-bred registered bulls from high producing stock. The significant thing about this is that a druggist contributed one bull, a hotel proprietor another, an insur ance agent one and, in fact Mr. Robinson reports that without a planned program to raise the mon ey he called on 20 people and got 20 bulls. v ■ “The Exchange Club plans now to ciAtribute 60 pure bred heifers among the* club boys of Hinds Co EVERYBODY WINS IS SLOGAN IN THE CASWELL MESSENGER BIG CIRCULATION DRIVE JUST INAUGURATED Fulfilling the most optimistic an ticipation of the Messenger, Yun teyvilie and its surrounding terri tory to all agog over the announce ment of this newspaper’s $2,000 Free Gift Distribution. The lib erality of the offer, the fact that everybody wins something, and the ease with which even the biggest of the awards may be won, has al ready fostered intense interest a mong renders of The Messenger. That it. provides an unprece dented opportunity for people to share in'a distribution of gifts through an old established busi ness as The Messenger is freely admitted to be in every one of the Imany inquiries flooding our office. With the announcement that there ! will be given away within the next few weeks two beautiful motor cars, hundreds of dollars in cash and gifts, busy business men, en ergetic housewives aftd ambitious boys and girls all gave pause and considered such possibilities as ap plied to themselves. Particularly notable is the fea ture that <everybody Wins some tiling in this campaign. There will be no losers. There is no subterfuge in this campaign. The only thing required of anyone to become a participant in this gift distribution is for him or her to be ambitious and willing to grab the golden opportunities of Hfe when they are presented upon such a scale as is now offered umi. r our nrefit-sharing plan.' C osts Nothing to Enter Nor does it cost anyone a single cent, now or any time during the campaign to enter and win. It; is for honest efforts well expended that the stupendous prize list is being offered to the people of Yan ceyville anti country which it is the center. Anyone will be proud to claim success for each and ev ery one of the gifts listed are well •'worth the time'and work it takes ; to acquire them. To become a candidate for gift j distribution is an easy matter. To i win even the biggest-of the prizes iia just its easy, If you apply your i self during spare momenta. Elsewhere in this issue there ap pears ait entry or “nomination" I blank which properly tilled out |and mailed or brought, to the cam paign department of the Messen igor will start you in the campaign with 5,000 votes. Additional vot es are obtained in two ways; one : by clipping the free vote coupon which will appear in every issue of the Messenger and the other by obtaining new ami renewal sub scriptions to the .Messenger. Votes are issued in large numbers for each subscription payment wheth er it be from a new subscriber or old one, according to the length of the subscription. Each free voting coupon now will be good for i.00 votes and must be brought lor sent in to the Messenger office before tire expiration of the date printed thttreon. Thus, it will b« seen that the nomination blank, together with 10 of the free con pons will start a candidate right off with G.OUO votes. It makes ho difference where a candidate resides, so far as his or her chances of winning the big gest gifts are.concerned. The dis tribution of the automobiles and all the cash and other gifts have been so arranged that eaeh candi date will have ati equal opportun ity. Disinterested Judges Count Votes The campaign is a very short one ahd jtpuier no circumstances will it -be extended beyond the date advertised. At the end a committee of judges of high stand j ing will count and tabulate the vote totals, and those who poll the greatest number of votes will whisk away to their homes in their own luxurious machine. All oth jera will receive gifts in cash in proportion to 1 heir vote total as ; explained in the announcement. The’ Messenger is the home pa : per of this entire section and it al ready enjoys a large 'circulation alt over this territory -but it is expected tb continue to build and add to its great family of readers ’until there is a Messenger in ev ery home in Caswell County and adjacent territory. There are two i ways of building em ulation. One is by the routine method of send ing out solicitors and the other is by a big, liberal prize campaign. The Messenger is choosing the la! er because it enables us to get a large circulation mom* quickly lev cm though the cost ic greater) and | algo to share with those, who are willing to assist in the growth of this paper. The Messenger is an established newspaper in this territory. This feature alone will make it a “ready seller*’ in every home and candi-l dates in the Messenger gift dis tribution will find it easy to se cure 'pew subscriptions and re ; newals. Votes File Up Quickly People who have never taken ■ part in a voting campaign of this magnitude are unable to realize! how rapidly their vote totals ac- i cumulate. Once the start is made ! they pile tip like magic. Subserip lions and coupons will secure thousands of votes in the Messen ger Campaign. Anri it is not ex pected that the candidates will de pend wholly upon their own efforts j — friends will help them to ga ther votes—ami what a merry past i time it will be—-with beautiful re wards at the end. There are plenty of prizes to go around among the hustlers -in deed there is a prize for every ac tive participant. The plan is .a (•competitive one, and will be con ducted on a business basis. The • bigger your effort, the bigger your • Pri**- m> (let a« tSarly Start Get an early start for one of the j automobiles by sending in your : nomination blank or that of a | friend today.

OWEN COMPLETE LY DESTROYED A fire of unknown origin com pletely destroyed the store build ing and cotton warehouse occupied by C. J. Owen, of Semora on last Monday morning about four a. ra. The store building was owned by Mrs. Ella McAden, of Semora. It is learned that Mrs. McAden tarried some insurance on the building, though not enough to cover the losses. It is also learn ed that Mr. Owen's losses on the stock of goods were partially eov i red by insurance The cotton be longing to him, however, which had been recently put in the warehouse back of the store had no insurance coverage. The fire occurred' about four o’clock Sunday morning, and was first discovered by C. G. Chandler, who was awakened by the glare of light that shined on his bed-room window. Mr. Chandler hastened tn the scene of the fire and awak ened E. E. Talley, who lives across the street from the store that was in flames. These two men awak ened others, who hurried to the MfriU, UUl UHIIUI U« tilde to cope with the conflagration. Mr. Chandler had been helping Mr. Owen in the store on Satur day before the tire, and had rather an intimate knowledge of the stock of goods and the position of some wf the articles of merchandise. He said that a stock of flour and a bos of meat which had been fuft in the rear of the store on Saturday, 4 from nil nppeimamwss.'had ps^s****** moved before the (ire. rant is to say no trace of flour and meat could he found. No'Sign that they had been in the building when the tire occurred. • To lend color <0 the suspicion that a robbery had occurred, Mr. Chandler and Mr. Talley are said . to have observed the tracks of an automobile—supposed to be an au tomobile truck—at the roar of the store. The inference was that it was possible that a heavy truck bad been driven up to the rear of the store, the store broken open, and an untold amount of goods hauled off. after which the thieves may have set the store atire. Since this theory of the origin of the fire is not supported by any thing more than circumstantial evidence it cannot, at the present time, be relied on as competent proof. But the suspicion is that the fire was of incendiary origin. AdditionaJ weight is given to the circumstantial evidence by the fact that a visitor at Semora pass ed the store about two o’clock on Monday morning, saw the light of an automobile at the rear of the store, and heard knocking in that locality. The Messenger is not able to re port this week what are the plans of Mrs. McAden or of Mr. Owen about rebuilding. But it is as sumed that Mr, Owen, being an established merchant will ere long open a new place of business. The insurance papers and other valuable papers and books, togeth er with three or four (Kindred dol lars in money, were in a safe in the store. After the fire, when the safe had cooled sufficiently, the safe was opened, and the pap ers and money were found to be uninjured. f||j| FIRST SUBSCRIPTION COUPON GOOD FOR 20.000 VOTES NAME as contestant to The Caswell Messenger campaign.
