SECRET SERVICE WORKINGS
SEEN IN THE Man INSIDE"

One phase of our Government con-
corning which very little is known
and which always commands our
closest interest is Our Secret Service.
Whether in novels. dramas, short
stories, or in the photoploy, the
characters who unravel the mys-
teries confronting our relations with
other Governments have for us a
weird fascination.
Edwin Stevens, the we'll known
legitimate star. who makes his debut
in moving pictures in the Broadway
Universal Feature production, The
Man inside" a drama IN five acts
adapted from the novel Of the same
name by Natal Summer Lincoln,
which will be seen at the Magic
City theatre on tomorrow, Friday
gives the secret service a hard
problem to solve. Assisted by an
exceptionally able cast. he creates a
role in The Man Inside" that is
one of the best ever afforded him in
his long stage career.
The story treats of diplomatic life
in Washington and is replete with
thrilling and gripping situations.
1t bids fair to be the big film sensa.
ton of the year.

running full blast, and working in
perfect condition, with indications
that there will be no slack up for
many months. The entire output

Paper Mill Running Full Blast And Other In
dustres Report Brisk Business

around Boealusa that have been
closed for a year or more are now
in operation. These mills do much
towards adding prosperity to the
Magic City. The Louisiana Lumber
Co.. located only a short distance
outside Of the city running full
blast and working about 60 men,
The mill Of the Bogalusa Mill and
Supply Co., is running every day
that logs are furnished and reports
from other sections are to the effect
that the mills which have been idle
for months are now operating every
day and making money.
BUILDING ON BOOM
The building in Bogalusa is going
merrily on with indications that
during the next few weeks several
contracts will be let. Four of DOS.
oibly five business blocks are being
contemplated while scarcely a few
days pass that work is not started
on some new home.
Realestate agents report that in.
quiries from other states are coming
in by every mail and several north.
ern farmers have located in this
section since the first of the year.
The automobile dealers report
that business was never better while
the banks of Boealusa show that
the deposits and surplus is growing
rapidly.
BOND ISSUE WOULD HELP
If the 100000 bond issue is
voted within the next 60 days there
will be that much more money spent
in Boealusa during the next few
months. Labor and material will
get most of this money as buildings
and extensions will be started and
rush to an early completion.
ALL BUSY AND HAPPY
Everybody in Boealusa is busy,
or, if not, it IS because they don't to
work, and be happy. There is not
a vacant house in the city, while,
the demand is great. Before plans
are completed for a new house,
there is some family eager to take
it, so Bogalusa promises to surpass
the fondest expectations Of the 3D.
tomists during the present year.
NEW ENTERPRISES COMING
1t has been definitely settled that
one or more big industries will be
located in this city. and most likely
the first one, will be a paper mill,
as large as the present one.
A meeting will be held in the early
part of May, when this, and other
important matters will be settled.

The news that the boys Of Com

anxious that the boys return home. 1t
is expected that they will be on a
special train which will arrive in the
city at about 1.30 or in the after
noon and it is planned to have the
band and a goodly number Of citizens
at the station to meet them. DOUBT
less the committee will make arrange
ments to have the fire whistle blown
when the train leaves Augusta so that
everyone will know when the train is
coming. That as large a crowd Will
be on hand to meet them as saw them
go away is probable, judging by the
interest that has been shown by the
people Of the city. There is chance
that the members Of Company F. OF
Skowhegan will also take part in the
parade as it is probable that they will
have to wait for some time. possibly
an hour in the city.

the star, Marie Walcamp, all but lost
