ALL RODEO HONORS For the Simple Reason that He Is the Only One Caught; Bad Weather Makes Angling Difficult. Pass Christian, Sept. 5.—A five-foot fish, the catch of Philip Parker of New Orleans, took all honors in the Pass Christian National Tarpon Club's annual rodeo. Parker landed his tarpon off Goose Point, Cat Island, on Monday, the last day of the rodeo. Pie pulled the big fish into his skiff after a fight lasting more than fifteen minutes, during which the silver king jumped out of the water fifteen times. Bennett Watson, also of New Orleans, gaffed the tarpon after Parker pulled him within range. The winner of the rodeo was angling from a skiff towed by Eddie Hanson's yacht, the Hilda S. when the strike came. In a skiff several hundred feet away was A. D. Parker. Jr., president of the rodeo club. The tarpon was caught shortly after 8 a. m. Monday was the first of the five-day rodeo suitable for fishing. From Friday until Monday local squalls swept the Coast off Pass Christian forcing the sportsmen to remain on board the twelve large boats which took them to the tarpon hole and to the cove off Cat Island. According to A. D. Parker, Jr., and other officials of the tarpon club, the 1928 rodeo was held under the worst conditions in the club's history.

PRESIDENT Royal Joust of Ballots Ends With Mrs. Greaves in Chair and Miss Elena Patenotte Vice President. No music, no nice “ready-made' speeches, not much chatting, just plain business was in store for members of the Gulfport Business & Professional Women's Club at their regular semi-monthly meeting Tuesday evening at the Plotel Markham. Simultaneous resignations of president and vice president left the club in the dilemma of Janus, minus both his heads. The resignation of Miss Erline White, chosen president at the regular election last May, came as a result of a change of position which takes her away from Gulfport.

Harrison county’s total taxable wealth has increased in the past year, but not much. The total, $27,-839,35S for 1928, is only $62,104 more than the total for 1927. To the great surprise of realtors, real estate values increased $746,-389, according to figures furnished by Chancery Clerk Eustis McManus and Assessor Claude L. Causey. The realty increase, however, was largely offset by a $684,285 decrease in value of personal property. Discouraging to some was the report on cultivable lands. In 1927 ■ re were 10,223 acres of such
