FOURTH CELEBRATION
To Be GREATEST EVER
Meeting Held Last Night
and Committees APP
pointed

Boealusa is going to have a
Fourth of July celebration this
year which will surpass any before
attempted, and providing the
weather man does not interfere, an
unusually fine number of amuse.
ments will be offered. On this day
Boealusa, as a city, will be two
years old, and if the committees
work like they have promised, the
celebration will be a credit to a
city that has been established for
generations.
Nothing will be left undone or
overlooked to make the day one
long to be remembered, not only by
the visitors, but the citizens of Bo.
galusa as we'll.
Committees on finance, amuse.
ment, advertising, decorations and
speakers were appointed, and each
committee is headed by a hustler
and co-workers that is certain to
result in this being the banner cele-
bration for Bogalusa. By next
week the various committees will
be able to give the public an ink.
ling of the many things that will
occur here on that date.

According to information which seems to be credited in we'll informed circles in Washington, President Wilson has under consideration the appointment of Miss Ida M. Tarbell, the famous author investigator and publicist, as a member of the federal tariff commission. It has been under stood that two of the three. Demo- cratic members will be Professor William Taussig of Harvard univer- sitv and Daniel c. Roper, formerly first assistant postmaste general, who was clerk to the house committee on ways and means when 1t drafted the Underwood tariff law, and was in charge of the field work of the dem- ocratic national committee in the re- cent campaign.
 Miss Tarbell was a strong advocate of President Wilson's election.
 It was said in an authoritative way that President Wilson had practically completed the selection of the mem- bers of the tariff commission, but that one of those he wanted was ''elusive," ," and it was not certain whether his services could be obtained. The ac- tion of congress in reducing the sal aries of the tariff commissioners to s75OO a year has increased the diff faculties of obtaining persons ot the character and ability desired. Under the law they are obliged to give up other employment.
