Wealthy Lumberman And
Former Wife OF Famous
Band Master Dead

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 23.-Police
tonight abandoned the theory that
Marguerite Favar actress, former
wife of Creatore, famous bandmas-
ter, and later welded to j. l.
Thompkins, who killed himself in
Los Angeles, CAL, was killed with j,
C. Crowe]l, wealthy millman Of
Greenwood, Miss, with robbery as a
motive.
Detectives who are working on
the case declare they have definite
information that Miss Favar had
been bounded to her rendezvous in
the Benham apartments with the
Mississippian by a former lover,
who lay in wait in the room &C.
cupied by the couple.
The woman. they believe, was
first Drained with a machinist's
hammer, and later Crowell was
beaten into insensibility with the
same instrument. The jealousy
craZed man then set fire to the bed
and went to the window to see if
the way of escape was clear.
The detectives assert Crowell,
brought to consciousness by the
burns, attempted to grapple with
his assailant and his throat was cut
from ear to ear in the struggle. This
theory looks reasonable as the wo-
man was found almost nude with
the skull crushed from behind, Gro
we'll in a like condition with marks
of the hammer blows on his head,
was found several feet from the bed
in pool of blood, indicating he
must have gotten from the bed and
struggled after BEING hit with the
hammer and was then slain with a
slash across the throat that almost
decapitated him.
On whom suspicion has fallen,
officers would not say.

ACTIVITY IN REALEsTATE;
CAN'T GET ENOUGH AUTOS

Further evidence that business
conditions have shown a most re-
markable improvement in Bogalusa
during the past few weeks is demon
strated by the sale of city property.
All of the realeState dealers report
that inquiries are numerous and
with little properv to be offered.
One dealer stated that during the
past two weeks he has closed eight
deals.
Automobile buying is also con-
sidered a barometer of conditions
and the local agents state that there
never was a greater demand for cars
than at the present. Mr.. Roster of
the Ford and Mr.. Lonnerean, who
represents the Overland car, are
unable to secure cars enough A few
days ago the Boealusa Mill and
Supply closed a contract for the
Maxwell car and they are expecting
the demonstrating car in any day.

WILL COMBINE STRENGTH
TRY TO BEAT PLEASANT
Hall Faction Will Try And
Have Independent Tick
ct Headed BY Parker

That the Hall faction and the
Proeressives. together with the Re.
publicans, are working together tC
establish an independent State
ticket in Louisiana was the sub
s ance of a report las: week which
interested political circles. The re
port was that John NJ. Parker would
be selected to lead this movement
in the race for the Governorship
Mr.. Parke,,, however, has not an
nounced his intentions yet.
1t was said, however, that the
movement to establish Mr.. Parker's
candidacy is growing rapidly.
Office holders VS.. the people," is
the way that MIR. Parker summed
up the situation yesterday.
viii you be a candidate for Gov
ernor he was asked.
haven't opened my mouth to a
soul" he answered. i am simply
attending to my own business.
The situation as it is at present
will eventually resolve itself down
to a contest between the officehold-
ers and the people Of Louisiana.
Officeholders are perfectly willing
to keep office and permit the people
to vote as long as they blindly fol-
low the old traditions. This policy,
as clearly forecast by the trend,
will be to continue all the present
officers and to create more useless
ones for distribution"
MY personal belief is that the
politicians of this State will have a
rude awakening when they find the
people will demand economy and
efficiency instead of political pull
and extravaganza, often combined
with incompetency."
The State central committee was
called to met Oct. 5 by Chairman
Horace Wilkinson yesterday to de-
eide upon the calls for the State
primary election. The Cosmopoli-
tan Hotel will probably be selected.

Looking Backward; Planning Forward

1t is only in looking backward we
can wisely plan for the future. The
success of the past. in what ever
line they may have been, and brought
about by whatsoever circumstances.
have taught us what to do and how
to act as we'll as what to avoid in
our future efforts along the same
line In like manner, our failure Of
the past year even more that our
successes, indelibly impress on our
hearts and brains the warning: Step
carefully here Turn aside" Go
boldly,straight ahead, Turn neither
to right nor left at this point" Be
influenced by no one-only be strong
and fearless for the right and heaven
will bless your efforts.
These and many like will appear
as warnings for our future conduct
from contemplating last years mis-
takes.
Are you tired of that ramshackle
fence that unsiphtly weeds-groWn
yard ? Plan to have the old fence
away and d nice hedge in it's place;
so have a garden glorious with flow
ers, and 60 to work on every body,
as well as working yourself, for this
to come to pass, And Lo! in a very
short time your dream will blossom
into lovely reality.
Are you tired of dingy surround
ings, dull, colorless life for your
self and those you love? Just wake
up, Paint is cheap; Laughter can
be had for the wishing; Happiness
is a cultivatable state of being of
mind. Just be glad if for no other
reason, Why Just because" 1t will
certainly help to keep you we'll and
lengthen your life, and beside make
yog a magnet, A joy to others.
