If so. 1916 will have but little
terror for you. for Friday, the thir

month of October does Friday. the
thirteenth, with its omens of i'll ap.

The year just past, 1915, too, was
one in which there was but one
Friday, the thirteenth, coming in
August. But, if we are to believe
that the raven perches above our
doors at certain times, why, then
the year 1914 was one of bad luck,
for Friday, the thirteenth, appears
three times on the calendar Of that
year. Friday came on the thir'

November of that year.
Still, here in BogaluNa, we can

GASOLINE At g CENTS
PREDICTED THIS WEEK
Advance OF Two Or Three
Cents \ Gallon Is
Predicted
New York, Feb. ia sharp ad-

New York. Feb. ia sharp adj
vance in the price of Gasoline, it is
expected, will be made in this city
and surrounding TERRITORY. Although
some persons say the next advance
will be as high as the three cents
a gallon, the popular prediction is
two cents.
This will bring the wholesale
price up Is cents gallon and will
send the retail figures up to 81 to
80 cents. Gasoline dealers are daily
waiting for the Standard Oil Co. Of
New York to take the ininative by
boosting the price. The Gulf Re-
fning Company, the Texas Com
pany and other large gasoline man
ufacturs, it is said, will then follow
with similar increase. All author
tiles agree the demand is greatly
in excess of the supply and in NJ
quarters is there any talk of the z
cent level being maintained.

FARMERS URGED To PLANT
COTTON FOR CASH CROP

Farmers throughout Washington
Parish are being urged to plant
a few acres in cotton this spring
and it is hoped that the greatest
crop in the history of Parish will
result. 1t has been proven that
cotton can be successfully raised in
most of the land in the parish but
of late the tendency has been to
plant less each year. Several reas'
ons are advanced as to why cotton
should bring a good price next fall
If each farmer of the Parish
would plant a few acres this spring
it would result in bringing into the
Parish next fall several thousand
dollars. Cotton is known as a cash
crop, and the bringing of new money
into the parish is considerd an inn
portant thing for the farmers as
we'll as the business men. 1t has
been suggested that the farmers
of each vicinity hold neighborhood
meetings and decide on the amoun
to plant and cooperate so as to &c
low prices for the seed and goot
! prices for their product.

Saloon interests won back Bloom

Waukegan, Moline, held Elgin and
