The great War Savings Ca npaign,
extended from June 28th to July 4th
and now drawing to a close, was one
OF the greatest movements ever at
tempted by the government nd the
Parish Director, War Council! Ward
Commanders, Precinct Captains, AL
lotment and List Committees i, Di-
visional Agents, "Round Up" squads
and other workers, kept INCREASINGLY
at the task. Headquarters In the
Cassidy building was bustIir g and
busy place and the big 2O-foot Their
mometer slowly registered the re-
returns from the parish as they ar
rived.
To the surprise Of all, the First
ward was the first cover the top

Ward Commando at Frankiinton.

and received his appointment late.
This ward went over easily and big.
J. c. Green, Ward Commander of
Sixth, appointed Mrs. Carrie Sanford
as Daughter of the Regiment and
they carried this section over in fly-
ing style. iona went over with
about $4,000 subscription.
C.. C. Fortinberry, Ward Com
mander of the Eighth, appointed eff
icient Precinct Captains and und-
er surprisingly leadership, swept the
"old eighth" into the honor column.
The Fourth Ward outside of Boga-
lusa had an exceedingly heavy al
lotment and did not pull through
their $35,9OO.0O, while Bogalusa
staggered under an allotment of
Ward Flanders, the
City Commander with some forty
Precinct Captains, combed the city
with fne-tooth comb and nothing
was overlooked. While it was disap-
pointing, of coruse, to fail to reach
the goal, but the result was more
than creditable.
At last reports, the Second Ward,
under E. Brock, had 500 of its
allotment; the Fifth, under Rev. c.
A. Massey, thou~ht it would go over,
the Seventh, under Mr.. w. Daniel,
had 500 with the Ninth, under Mr..
Warren Wilks had about the same.

WORK OR FIGHT
ORDERS NOW
IN EFFECT
Police Department to Co
Operate With Council of
Defense
EVERYBODY WORKING?

If not, they had better go to work
whether they are within the draft
age or not and those who are be-
tween the ages of 81 and 81 and
not engaged in essential occupations
had better get another. job real
quick. Failure to so means that they
viii be put in Class Al and be sub
ject to the call for service on July
%. Those who are past 81 have to
go to work in Bogalusa, because no
idlers, loafers or gamblers will be
permitted to remain. Those who
have large incomes and are not en-
gagged in some useful occupation will
also have to go to work, but there
does not happen to be any of this
class in Bogalusa.
The work or fight orders went in
to effect last Monday morning and
the police department were awaiting
official orders which are supposed to
come through the Council of De-
tense. Chief Magee stated Monday
morning that he had received no
such orders, but that he would bring
the matter to the attention of that
body Monday and that possibly every
member of the police department
would be engaged in enforcing the
orders during the remainder of the
week.

Bumps the Bumps :
To Be Tried Here

It is believed that Bogalusa has
found a way to enforce the safety
first" rules which will bring auto
speeders and reckless drivers to q
stop at railroad crossings and at
dangerous street corners The plan
is one that is being worked out sac-
lcesssullg I'D Memphis and FY,Slin-
ton. Just before you reach 4 raisz
road crossing or a dangerous corner
in the city the auto drivers are go-
ing to find a concrete ''bump the
bumps" which will compel any car
to come to a slow rate of speed,
especially after they have gone over
it once. This dump the bumps"
will send the occupants of the car
up to the top and give them shak-
ing up which will remind one of the
rough spots on the country roads.
These "bump the bumps" are said
to be great success in every city
where they have been tried and get
better results than a fagman at rail
road crossings. 1t is expected that
the first ones will be placed at the
Fourth street crossings and be- ready
for operation within the next week.

Did You Think Spies
Were at Work?

If you had any kind of an imagin-
alton, you perhaps thought the the
German spies were getting in some
good work in Bogalusa last Wednes-
day night. During the electrical
storm which swept the city the lights
were out of commission and when
the wind was at its highest the fire
whistle blew and the engines made a
run TO the Great Southern plant.
Every whistle in the city blew and
continued for some time. Then all
was quiet. A few minutes latter the
Whistles were blown again. Mean
while the lights were cut and there
was slight rain. The fire whistle
started again. By this time the calls
to the telephone station had Stacked
and it was found that in sounding
the first alarm the fire whistle had
broke and was being fixed. F'iremen
at other plants did not know that
the whistle was broke and continued
sounding the alarm. The signal
fer the first fire was for the Great
Southern coal chute where little
damage was done. Early Thursday
no~-ing there was another frc il
Richardsontown.

DRILLING WELLS;
INSURANCE DOWN

It is expected that the rigs will
be erected for the drilling of the
two artesian wells near the new city
pumping plant this week and that
by the middle of the month the wells
viii be ready for operation. Fol
lowing the completion of the wells
it is expected that there will be a
bid reduction in the fire insurance
rates of the city. The purchasing
of the fire equipment, building Of
the pumping station, maintaining a
paid fire department and drilling of
the wells were all done at the sug-
gestiOn of the Fire Prevention
Bureau in order to get insurance al
a low rate.

Washington parish will be asked
to furnish more men in the next

the state, except two. One Of these
parishes, Ascension, viii furnish che
same amount as Washington and
other, Orleans, will furnish more men
in three of the wards. Washington
parish viii furnish 81 men in The

POLICE JURY TO
CALL NEW ROAD .
ELECTION
State and Federal Aid Can
Not Be Secured Under
Present Plans

The special election called for
August 81 to vote an 8 mill tax 20
run for a period Of rs years viii
likely be called off at the next meet
ing of the police jury which win
be held Friday owing to the fact
that under the present plan the par
ish could not get any assistance from
the federal or state government
Both state and federal aid is ex-
pected to amount to between $500
and $4,000 a mile and a bond cleo
ton must held instead of voting q
special tax.
The police jury will likely be asked
to vote bonds to the amount Of
$500, 900 instead of an mill tax
for rs years which would amount
to $1,500,00O. In this manner any
amount Of the money desired could
be secured at one time instead Of
having part of it coming in each
year. It has been pointed out that
100000 Of these bonds could be
disposed of as needed and thereby
save the tax payers considerable in
terest and at the same time have
enough money available to carry on
a big road building program. To
raise the half million would require
only mill tax to run about ten
years.
