and shipping facilities to farm land values. The value of farm lands per acre in Illi- nois is $95.03 Iowa, $82.5S; Ohio, $5334, while in Arkansas it is $14.13 These fg- ures constitute the average value through out the State, mountain and bottom lands, and without farm buildings and equip nlent.
 The value of farm property and equip nlent per acre in the States named are as follows: Illinois, s120.0S; Iowa, $11O.40; Ohio, S78.93, and Arkansas, $22.97.
 It is evident that Arkansas needs more railroad mileage. But it is impossible, un- der the present two-cent rate, by which the raidroads are losing instead of making money, for them to build needed extensions and spend money on improvements and equipment, etc. It is equally unlikely that capital can be enlisted in railroad building in Arkansas where under such law fair return on the investment cannot be ex- pected. The railroadssa are asking the peo- ple, through the legislature, to restore the taree-cent rate and to pursue policy of encouraging railroad building and exten- sion to develop the States magnificent re- sources They take this means of present ing their case plainly to the people of the State, believing in their sense of justice and fair play. Help bring prosperity back to Arkansas by writing your senator and rep the three-cent passenger rate.

Development of the States Resources De- pendent Upon Adequate Railroad Facilities

The mutual interest of the farmers, man. ufacturers and merchants with the rail- roads must be apparent almost at glance It matters not how rich the soil, it's value must depend upon the facilities for reaching market for it's products.
 To illustrate: Arkansas has the largest peach orchard in the world; the peaches gre sent in carloads and trainloads and not only go to the large Eastern cities, but have even been shipped to Europe. But of what value would these peaches be without rail- road facilities to get them to market? Hence the progressive farmer seeking To- cation in the State wants to know what transportation facilities exist Also, it is in evidence that the value of farm lands is in direct ratio to transportation facilities.
 Arkansas, with an area of 53,335 square miles, has railway mileage of 5,396 miles, or about one mile of railroad to ten square miles of area. The great farming States of Illinois and Iowa have more than double the railway mileage per square mile than Arkansas has. Illinois has 13,111 miles of railroad, Iowa has 10,161. Illinois has a mile of railroad to four square miles of ter ritory, approximately Iowa, mile of rail- road to five square miles of territory; Ohio, with only Al ,040 square miles of territory, has 9,463 miles of railroad, or a mile or rail- road to four and one-half miles of terri tory.
 In this connection, it is interesting to note the direct effect of railroad mileage

WORK NEXT WEDNESDAY
New Twin Mill At Great
Southern Will Begin On
Schedule Time

On next Wednesday morning
employment will be given to 200
men when the new twin mill of the
Great Southern starts operation.
Announcement was made sew
eral days ago that it was ex-
pected that the mill would be
ready to operate at this time and
the statement has been confirmed
and the help has been secured
With the big mill running day and
night and working as many. if not
more men, than ever before indi-
cations points to a prosperous year
Great progress is being made at
the paper mill and it will be only a
question of a short time until this
million dollar plant will be running
full time. In the near future two
other big enterprises may be estab-
lished in Bogalusa and the coming
year promises to eclipse all records

CONTRACTS AWARDED FOR
THREE MODERN HOMES
Building Activity Greatest
In Many Months Is
Report

The fact that Bogalusa will re-
quire a hundred or more additional
homes during the next few months,
due to the increased force at the
Lumber Mill and the opening of the
Paper Mill, will result in a number
or rental houses being built,
Contracts were let this week for
three new homes, all of which will!
be erected in North Boealusa. j. B.
Lindsey, President of the Washing
ton Bank and Trust Co., will be the
owner of one of the new houses
which will be a seven room cottage
of the most modern style. j. L.
Gould is having a six room bungalow
built on North Border Drive. This
home. when completed. will be one
of the prettiest in Bogalusa.
J. W. James will be the owner of
the new FIVE room bungalow on
Virginia Ave-, which will be modern
and one of the best arranged that
has been built this year.
Secretary Dobbs, of the Bosalusa
Building and Loan Association, re-
ports that there are number of
people who will build during the
next few months and that the out
look for building is the best since
he has been connected with the
organization. The liberal plans we
offer makes it just as easy for a man
to own his own home as paying
rent At the end of a few years he
will own the property instead of a
batch of RECEIPTS. Some people
think that we just say that for a
catch" but am ready to convince
the most skeptical that we will build
a home and make the payments
cheaper than rent"

JOHN HUFFMAN, POPULAR
CONDUCTOR WAS KILLED
When Car He Was Pilot
ing Was Struck BY
Engine At SIidell

Jno. P. Huffman. one the best
known and most popular conduc-
tors Of the N. O. G. N, met with an
accident at Slidell Wednesday
evening that resulted in his death
a few hours later. Mr.. Huffman
had recently recovered from a Sc
we're attack of malaria fever and
the company decided to give him
Light work. He was made pilot on
the hand car that carried the
Cumberland Telephone repair crew
and as the car was going round
curve in the wards a switch engine
was approaching a short distance
away. Both the engine and the
hand car were running at a SLOW
rate and everyone jumped from the
Car except Mr.. Huffman. Whether
he thought that both would be
brought to halt or if he was un-
able to jump is unknwon.
When fellow workmen reached
the side of Mr.. Hoffman it was not
thought that he was dangerously
injured. Examination showed that
he had sustained a broken collar
bone. He was removed to the
Headley Hotel at Slidell, but few
hours later hemmoraee developed
and death soon followed.
MIR. Huffman came to Bogalusa
few years ago from Terre Haute
Indiana, where he was a passenger
conductor on the Southern Indiana.
He was popular in Boealusa, not
only among the railroad men but
among all classes Of citizens. He
is survived by a wife and one son
who reside at Evansville, Indiana,
where the remains were shipped.
Following his death the N. o, G. N,
Company made up a special train
to take the remains to New Orleans
where good connections were made
for Evansville.

Obituary

Though he were dead yet shall he
live" John ll-25
On Sunday night. Oct. 81, a
gloom was cast over the entire
community, for the Angel of death
had taken from our midst our dear
beloved sister, Davie Day. daughter
of William and Judith Ann Cothern
and wife of B. W. Day.
On Monday she was followed to
her last resting place in Providence
Cemetery bv sorrowing relatives
and friend. Rev. E. Dunaway Of
floating at the grave. 1t seems
hard that one being only thirty-six
years of age and so full of life
should be taken away, but God had
place in one of the many man
sions our Savior has gone to pre-
pare, that none could fill but
precious Davie. Weeping husband
and children, morn not for your
idol, God in his wisdom and power
ordereth all things for the best"
She has gone forever from this
earth, but. is at home in heaven
where parting comes no more"
None knew her but to love her,
we miss her happy presence from
home and church and, as we shed
tears DER her grave, let US be in
fuenced by her upright character,
resolving to lead better lives so as
to meet her on that shore of eternal
happiness.
To the grief striker family. we
tender our heartfelt sympathy and
remind them:
We watched her breathing through the
night
Her breathing soft and low
AS in her breast the wave of lite kept
heavine to and fro.
For when the morn came dim and sad,
And chilled with early showers
Her quiet eyeiids closed.
She had another morn than ours.
