Old Company "G" Boys Still
Making Good.

Company G, of the former
First Louisiana Infantry which
left Bogalusa last Easter and
which was made up of one humid
red vigorous young men OF
Bogalusa and Washington Parish
a large number of whom we're
from Franklinton and near by
towns, are now to be found in
every branch Of the service repre-
sented at Camp Beauregard.
Ninety per cent of the original
company are Reconnaissance
officers and form the nucleus OF
four infantry companies and one
Of engineers.
One of the most efficient OF
these fighting units is Company
G, 154 Infantry, which is COM
manded by Captain Stanley F.
Davis. Sergeant Gordon W
Banister is first sergeant and has
for company clerk Corporal Otis
N. Magee. Sergeant Banister is
aided in his work by sargeants
L. Ware, Rufas Breland, Clarence
Rayborn and James W. Richard
son all of Washington Parish and
five other sergeants who were
formerly with the First Louisiana
Karl Starnes, John Nation, Harry
Poole, Clyde Poole, Averice Var
nado and Kaiser Mizell Of the orr
ginal company are six OF the mos
reliable corporals.
This company equals all the
other four above mentioned COM
panies in many things and exec
in some. However, it must be
admitted that the others have the
old sc" pep and are hard to be
beaten.

Let's Clean Up.

The mayor is issuing a procla'
nation to the town Of Franklinton
to clean up. The State Board OF
Health is getting behind the may
or, he is getting behind US, why
shall we not with one accord get
behind the dirt and make itfly.
The town has the name of being
a dirty town. If we were away
from hsre and would be asked
about it, could we deny it, Well
hardly. Can we imagine any
other town envying US our repu.
tation? No.
We would be ashamed of our.
selves five didn't keep our bodies
and clothes clean. Also if our
houses were filled with trash.
Why should we be less ashamed
If we allow our town and the
yards around our homes to be lit
teredwith old bottles and cans
and paper and other trash.
And when we clean our yards,
don't throw the dirt in the street
or some one else's vacant lot.
Rather than that clean the gutter
in front and on the sides Of your
home or business place. Clean
out the space between the fence
and the walk.
When you 60 to the postoffice and
get mail that has a wrapper, don't
tear the wrapper off, wad it up
and throw it on the ground to be
blown here and there around the
town. If you can find a garbage
can handy, put it in your pocket
or carry it in your hand until you
can dispose Of it properly.
When you have cleaned up
your home place, get an old bar
rel, bore a hole in the bottom 80
that it won't hold water, put it by
the kitchen door or some other
place handy, throw all the trash
in it, not in the yard and when it
is filled have ithauled off. There
is a man in town who makes his
living hauling.
Then when We get our yards
and town clean, let's keep them
that way. 1t won't take much
work after they are once clean
But a yard and a street are like
boy; you can clean him, but you
needn't think he is going to- stay
that way long, but they sare al
three kept fairly clean if yon will
keep reasonably close after them
Now if yon can't get anyone t.
do your cleaning for you, ant
you cannot do it for yourself
there are some good, husky, vii
ling Boy Scouts that are waiting
for the job.
Let's get so clean that We vii
be the envy Of other towns.

AlRPLANE PROGRAM REBUKED
Senators Say Production Must b
Speded Up.

Washington, March 27.--Furious
bombardments of the administration
suddenly broke out in the Senate
and continued increasingly for three
hours. During, the most sensational
day in months, senators, tired of the
public being fooled made startling
disclosures.
Revelations by Gen. Leonard Wood
of conditions on the American front,
the plea of Senator New of Indiana
for publicity, the peril of the fierce
German drive. all brought about the
result.
Senator New Republican,. of Indi-

combat airplanes being. delivened in
France by July /, as provided IN the
original airplane programs the num-
Der will amount to only 81.

MAKE THE MOST OF 1T.

Recently banquet was given in one
of our large cities first class hotels
to an officer of the food department
of the United States. The table was
loaded with every delicacy in season
and out of season. The guests looked
upon the wine when it was red and
the air was permeated with the per-
fume of costly Turkish cigarettes and
expensive Havana cigars. After the
gorging of costly eatables, drinkables
and smokeables had ended, the elo-
quent official stood up on his hind feet
and gravely told the guests that the
citizens of this country must eat more
potatoes and cheap coarse. food or
direful food shortage would follow.
We do not think our Americanism
or loyalty has ever been questioned,
it better not be questioned orally, in
our presence for if it is we will smash
the son-of-a-gun who does the ques-
tioning one in the beezer for luck.
Such things happen. We are will
ing to eat spuds four times a day. We
are willing to observe wheatless days,
sugarless days, meatless days and
even eatless days if necessary to con-
serve the food and aid our boys woo
are fighting the, worlds battles, but
we are getting weary of having men
advise us to save the food after
gorging themselves at banquets.
Let the government issue its orders
and we and the other ordinaries will
gladly obey and follow them, but we
are getting weary of being lectured
and heckled by high salaried officials.
If the banqueters would make as great
sacrifices as us plugs there would be
no lack of either food or money to
carry on the war.
Cut out the expensive feeds and
donate the cost thereof to the Red
Cross.
If this be Socialism, make the most
of TT. M. E.

four-year-old playmate, were burned
to death Thursday afternoon in fire

from the report that the two, with
another small child, were not known
to have been in the burning building
until it was almost destroyed. The
fire when discovered, about 80, had
gained Roadway before the arrival of
the fire company. The fire fighters
