entered the residence of Stacy c..

room. As she went to investigate the
burglar heard her and endeavored to
make hasty exit.
Mrs. Glauser caught him by the

20-foot ladder to careen, both ladder
and burglar falling to the ground.
Stunned for moment, the fellow
rolled; but soon was on his feet and
off. Mr.. Glauser was in another room
at the time and did not get the alarm
until too late to render assistance.

Fair Notes.

The ability to finance a parish
fair is largely due to circum.
stances and personality. 1t is
said that whereas Orleans Parish
would require something like
$350,OO0 to institute an exposi-
tion in New Orleans, which by
the way has been deferred on
account of the European war, our
slocal fair can be run on much less
than that amount. Indeed, Mr..
Dewitt Branch says he could
guarantee our fair to run five
hundred years on that sum. How
ever, he has succeeded in gettin z
munificent contributions from the
State Agricultural Board, the
Washington Parish Police Jury
and the Parish School Board. All
of this will be available for the
premiums and incidental expenses
at the Fair to be held here in
Translation, on October Is to II.
On the second day of the Fair
the program will be distinctly
educational. Already Prof. Dunn
of the local High School, and
Prof, Peters of the Bogalusa
High School, together with the
approval of Mr.. Struggled, the
Parish Superintendent of Educa-
ton, are comforting together
with a view to enlist the services
of all the principals Of the parish
schools to arrange an entertain
ing program for that day. An
other idea that has been suggest
ed to make the opening of the
Fair one long to be remembered
