PRESS ASSOCIATION
MEIERSSPENDDAY
IN BAY SAINT LOUIS.
Spend Day Here as Guests of Saon
ger Amusement Company at
“Elmwood Manor.”
BARBECUE WAS FEATURE OF
MEMORABLE DAY.
City Attorney Robt. L. Gcnin, Re
presenting Mayor R. W. Webb
Welcomes Publishers.
Members of the Mississippi State
Press Association, in fifty-fifth an
nual convention at <: ulfport this
week, spent yesterday in Bay St.
Louis.
They came by invitation of
Mayor R. W. Webb in behalf of the
city and by invitation of the Saen
ger Amusement Company whose
guests they were at “Elmwood Man
or,” the beautiful and inviting recre
ation home, which dots the Bay line,
where the spreading oaks in all their
majesty compel admiration.
Public-spirited citizens owning au
tomobiles met the pparty at the i.iil
road depot here and carried them
on to Elmwood. Reaching there,
Hon. Robt. L, Genin, representing the
Mayor in his absence- delivered the
address of “welcome to our city,
which was a good one and well re
ceived. He was introduced by Mr.
L. H. Grandjean, acting hst, master
of ceremonies for the Saenger
Amusement Company. The response
was made by Mr. Eugene Clark, of
the Saenger Company, who welcom
ed the representatives of the press
to Elmwood in terms that were not
uncertain. These addresses were
responded to by President A.
Lawrence of the Grenada dentine.,
Col. R. H. Henry, of the Jackson
Clarion-Ledger; Guy Clark of the
Clarksdale Register and others.
All of this time motion pictures
W ere taken of the speakers and their
isteners. Included in the reel was
Col. R. H. Henry and Mrs Henry of
the Clarion-Ledger, with their grand
son, Miller Henry. Here stood the
oldest and youngest members of the
Association.
At noon dinner was served. A me
nu that could not be surpassed. Deli
cious barbecued meats were served
bountifully and eaten with relish
Long tables with their burdens ot
good things to eat stood under the
oaks. A. O. Bourdon of Biloxi was
the chef in charge. The tables were
set for 125 guests.
The balance of the afternoon was
spent in dancing, strolling and bath
”g along the beach front, and when
the hour arrived for the guests with
i our city gates to depart truly was
it “the end of a perfect day. The
weather was ideal and the sea breez
es were at their best, with the
water calling the bathers all day.
The Saenger Amusement Com
pany flung wide the doors of theii
hospitable home- and the entertain
ment throughout the day lacked noth
ing. No effort was spared; seeming
ly no expense was considered Mem
bers of the ppress party were driven
over the city during the day, and left
fo r home well impressed with Bay St.
Louis.
YOUR LIBERTY BOND.
The United States Government bor
rowed money from you to finance the
war. You hold the Government’s
promise to pay you back. This pro
mise is called a Liberty Bond or
Victory Note. On this bond is stat
ed the condition under which the
Government borrowed from you.
For instance: If you hold a bond
of the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 15th of each year until
maturity, you will receive interest on
the amount you paid for the bond.
Other issues bear other rates of inter
est and other maturity dates, all of
which are clearly stated on the bond.
Now. if yod keep your bond until the
date when the Government pays you
in full for it, you do not need to worry
if, in the meantime, the priceis low
one day or high the next. You and
Uncle Sam are living up to your
agreement with each other, and neith
er will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell
your Liberty Bond now, you will find
that the man you sell it to will not
give you a dollar for every dollar you
paid for it. The price has been
brought down because so many people
are offering to sell their bonds. If the
market is flooded with tomatoes, you
can buy them cheap, but if everyone is
clamoring for tomatoes and there are
few to bo had. the price goes urn The
same is true of Liberty Bonds. Short
sighted people are dumping them on
the market, and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advice that can he given
to the owner of Liberty Bond is this:
Hold the bond you bought during the
war* it is safe and sound as the Unit
ed States Government itself.
Buy as many more at the present
low rate ns you can afford. If you
hod them to maturity, you are bound
to make the difference between what
they soil nt now and their face val
ue. You will also receive good in
terest on your investment.
Hold on to your Liberty bonds and
buy more.

! SUCCESSFUL PRESENTATION OF
“THE FRUIT OF HiS FOLLY.”
i
Local Talent Present Five-Act Drama
Benefit Young Peoples Mis
sionary Society.
A large and appreciative audience
at W. O . vV. Hail representing intelli
gence and culture of our city, wit
nessed last night the excellent
presentation of “The Fruit of ills
Folly,” in five acts.
The play was for the benefit of
the Young Peoples Missionary So
ciety, and it is noteworthy to state
that in addition to the artistic suc
cess which marked the efforts of the
young ladies and gentlemen com
posing the cast, the affair was equal
ly a financial success. It is safe to
say that after all returns from sale
of tickets will have been made, a snug
amount of cash will have been add
ed to the Society’s treasury.
Each and everyone in the cast
carried out their respective part to
such a degree of excellence that it
would be difficult to particularize,
however, suffice to say the entire
performance was indeed one where
the participants displayed histrionic
talent of merit and the interpreta
tion of the play was splendid. In
fact, the efforts of this company
should not cease here, hut a series
of plays would be welcome. The pub
lic would anticipate such entertain
ment and show encouragement as
was so substantially accorded last
night.
The cast follows- everyone to
have been well selected for his or her
part.

STOCKHOLDERS OF
BANDERET OIL COM
PANY HEAR REPORT.
Temporary Officers and Organirers
of Local Company Make First
(Report to Stockholders.
REPORT IS A FINE ONE AND EN
COURAGING TO ALL.
Geologist Makes Report to Effect
That Pool of Oil 500 Yards
W’ids Exists on Land.
At a called meeting of the stock
holders of the Banderet Oil Company
held at the courthouse Wednesday
night, the organizers and temporary
officers of the company presented a
comprehensive report of their labors
and results, which follow, an! which
was received with unanimity by the
many stockholders present.
The statement is an open one, and
will be read with considerable inter
est. It is bound to insppire further
confidence.
The report in full;
Your undersigned temporary offi
cers and organizers of the Banderet
Oil Company wish to file this their
report of the p omotion of the com
pany the sale of stock and the hand
ling of the business of the company.as
follows:
Mr. Banderet demonstrated to
our complete satisfaction that he had
1500 acres of land in Wharton coun
ty, Texas, that would produce oil.
Having great confidence in his abili
ty in the oil business we readily
grasped an opportunity of forming a
company to develop the land. A
great number of our people have from
time to time invested in oil compan
ies while the people handling the fi
nances and doing the drilling they
knew nothing of. We all felt that in
some future time we may invest in
oilscurities we saw our chance that
with a man like Mr. Banderet man
aging the works in the field and peo
ple we know handling the business
or office end w r e would all feel safe
and have great prospects of develop
ing the 1500 acres and producing
oil securities; we saw our chance that
had faith and invested in stocks.
We immediately applied to the sec
retary of State for a permit to sell
stock which was granted on the pay
ment of the fee required by the
State. We prepared and published a
charter, which was approved by the
secretary of State, the attorney gen
eral and granted by the governor,
which is filed with this report, Yt .
will notice from a reading of the
charter granted, that the Banderet
Oil Company has all the powers re
ared to do all things necessary a
developing oil, gas and other mine
rals.
Mr. Banderet and Mr. Genin have
advanced all money necessary for
the promotion of the company, as you
will find from their accounts- ex
cepting some items paid for us after
stock was sold.
Mr. Banderet and Mr. Genin are
not asking for a refund of these
amounts in cash, but desire same
to be issued to them in stock.
We have agreed to accept the 1500
acres owned by Mr. Banderet in
Wharton county, Texas, pay him
therefor at the rate of $4.00 an
acre, not in cash, but in capital stock
of the company. We are aware that
in procuring this land it cost Mr.
Banderet a great amount in cash
and much of his valuable time, and
to cast his destiny on the success of
the company by accepting all of the
purchase price in stock, shows the
faith he has in the ultimate success
of the company. We ask your ap
proval and commendation of his act.
We found no better name for the
company than that which we have
chosen and realize this by the gener
ous, magnificent faith demonstrated
by the subscriptions to stock you
have taken in the past 60 days- show
ing you heartily approve of our ac
tions.
We have to date received sub
scription to our capital stock, amount
ing to $17,200.00. We have in cash
in bank, as per receipts herewith, a
total of $6,425.00.
This w r e now turn over to you and
the permanent officers you will elect.
We have the power and authority
to pay the commission of 15 per cent
to sell eur capital stock, but we have
found it necessary to pay or aerree
to nay only 10 per cent, very little
of this commission has been paid out
to date. Asa large portion of the
commissions were reinvested in stock
of the company, the permanent offi
cers must attend to this.
It may, however- be necessary 5r
the future to pay a commission of 15
per cent to sell the remaining portion
of the stock. We say for the reason
that all of the stock we sold, not one
cent was paid for advertising pur
noses. This may be necessary in the
future.
We have procured from a reputa
ble geologist of hisrh standing, re
porting an oil pool 500 yards wide on
our land, copies of which arepresented
for your information. We also deliver
our books, seal and stationery as well
as all correspondence.
The organization of a company in
its various stages encounters many
obstacles, the principal one being the
same attack made on all companies in
their infancies by pessimistic rum
's and suspicions. We have over
come those with flying colors and
now present to you a growintr con
cern, a large capital and cash in
banks over and above our greatest
expectation.
We cride ourselves in the organiza
tion of a company without one cent
of the rompany’s money paid or used
for promotion purposes or salaries l
of any kind and all intrested ac
-pting the amounts they have spent
in the company’s stock.
We have had the pleasure of hav
ing the confidence of the best people
in our county and in the county of
Wharton, Texas- as well as in the
State of Louisiana and who
who know proclaim our chances
for success in the production of oil,
one to be envied by all newcompan
ies and persons in the oil business.
Wo ask your apprpoval of our
actions and hope what we have done
will be the beginning of continued
successes and large financial benefits
to all who have and will invest in the
Banderet Oil Company.
Respectfully submitted:
CHAS. G. MOREAU,

LIVING FOR TWO.
How much does it cost two people
to live? W’hat is the least salary up
on which a man can safely marry his
sweetheart and undertake the sup
poi’t of a wife.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chi
cago puts the figure at $125 per
month. In a recent rule it prohibits
employes marrying with a salary un
der that figure unless the matter is
taken up with the hank officials be
fore.
With the cost of clothes higher
than ever, with groceries still cost
ly, and with every expense at a peak,
the cost of living is higher than in re
cent years. This naturally has a de
terrent effect upon marriages, and
postpones the date for many couples
until later in life.
For a small-salaried man it takes
some courage to assume additional
responsibilities at this time of high
prices.
