Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1918-07-11

hHR j. A. SPEKENHIER, cashier OF the First State Bank
M is due great credit for the success OF the War Savings
Stamp campaign and putting Bogalusa and Washington
Parish over the top When you stop to consider that
the allotment of Bogausa alone only few thousand
dollars short of the entire Parish Of East Baton Rouge,
city with national banks Louisiana home of the Standard
Oil Company also the State Capitol and wealthy city,
you can realize what task Mr. Spekenhier had in front
of him Bogausa and Washington Parish were allotted
an amount entirely out proportion to the amount al
lotted similar communities Mr. Spekenher did not COM
plain He rolled up his sleeves, surrounded himself
with genuine husters dropped his business and said he
would not fail 1t required his entire time, but he put
the WSS. drive cover the Top"
Mr. Spekenhier does not take any credit for the work.
stating that it was done by his assistants but those who
worked so hard for the successes state that the results
were due to his generashp. Raising more money than
all the btry loan drives combined, also the funds for
the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A., then multiplying it
by two you will come pretty close to realizing what
task it was to dispose of $35O0O0 worth of stamps in
Bogalusa and $4,000 in the parish. Mr. Spekenher
deserves the congratulations of every citizen of Wash
ington Parish 5.i 4.4aa lsr -pzszx.s,-

EVERYONE MUST WORK

While no official statement to that
effect has been made. it is generally
understood, upon the authority OF
unofficial but well-informed and re-
liable sources that the new military
bill which the war department is pre-
pairing for presentation to the Con-
gress in few weeks, will greatly
extend the ages for military registra-
ton. It is said the proposed legisla-
ton will make it possible for the gov
eminent to lay hands upon practically
every man Of work age and give him
his choice of "work or fight which
is now imposed upon all men between
ages of 81 and 81.
This is in response to the force of
public opinion that is well night un-
animous. The spectacle of men just
above the present draft age-or just
below it--loafing or holding down
camoufage jobs, while the flower OF
our young manhood marches away
to war, and thousands of other young
men of draft age undergoing incon-
venience, and, in many cases, con.
siderable sacrifice, in order to comply
honestly and fully with the govern.
ment's ruling regarding useful EN-.
ployment, is not pleasing to the av.
erage American. He does not Object
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1918-07-11

to any man between Fl and 81 doing
his duty either in the army or in
some useful employment, but he
vigorously objects to other men,
equally able to "work or fight" doing
neither simply because of the acct
dent of age.
This is no time for any man, re-
gradless of his age, who is physically
able to work, either idlling away his
time or engaging in some occupation
that is either useless or positively
harmful. Give local exemption boards
law and authority in the matter, and
there will be very little lodging Of
military service or employment SER
vice of useful character by any
man-because any dereliction of
favoritism on the part of local cx-
emption boards would arouse a crit
ical public sentiment they could not
enswer or withstand. The people are
very much in earnest about winning
this war, ad they may be depended
upon to enfore all laws and rules
which have been formulated for the
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1918-07-11
NOW FOR GOOD ROADS

THE ACTION OF THE POLICE JURY last Friday in
calling bond election to vote $500000 bonds for the
building and maintaining good roads and bridges in
Washington parish is the proper step towards securing
roads which must have if to keep with the
progress of the community The tax payers of the parish
should vote the bonds by overwhelming majority for
many reasons and we do not know why there should be
single vote against it. anyone would be against the
tax, should be tax payers OF the City OF Bogasa, be
cause of the improvements TO be within the City
Of Bogalusa. Bogauusa citizens have never went on
record being against any improvement which would
improve the parish if it did not directly improve the
city Therefore Bogalusa be depended upon to vote
the bonds One reason why the tax payers outside of
Bogausa should support the bond tax because that Is
per cent of it will be paid by residents and citizens
of Bogalusa. In other words, 100000 worth of good
roads will cost the citizens outside of the City of Boga
dusa about $125,0OO According to the program,
the Federal and State government will assist to the
tent of between 81 90 and 81 800 mile.
The roads are to be built under the supervision of
the state engineer and committee of citizens. While
the Police Jury will pay the bills, they will be relieved
OF seeing that the details OF the contract complied with
WORK is SOON TO START on the new hardwood mill,
which will represent an expenditure of many thous
ands OF dollars, giving employment to two three
hundred men. and opening up hardwood market here
which win bring into the parish thousands of dollars of
new money each month. Scarcely week passes that
new investments here not announced the payr0s
IN the city increased. Bogalusa is forging ahead while
ether cities are doing their very best to keep from going
backwards, ~
CRITICS have now come forward stating that the
thousands of ladies who have been engaged in knitting
Tor the soldiers, have been wasting the wool by making
wide publicity, states that not enough wool can be Sc
cured TO make their clothing and as result the British
soldiers wearing uniforms made of cotton and
wool.
THE BUMP THE BUMPS" in Bogalusa have proved
the best thing to bring drivers to slow rate of speed
At dangerous places of anything that could have been g
gested The cost of installing these bumps prac-
ealy nothing, and it is doing the work in fine style If
you don't think they about the proper thing go over
one of them at about ten miles an hour.
IAN YOU IMAGINE yourself riding to FranklintOn over
fine graveled road? Seems almost too good to be
true, doesn't it? And we can go over to Mt Hermon
visit friends and get back the day Once this parish
gets few miles of good roads the tax payers not
going to stop until every important road in the parish
is gTaveled and in first class condition s- J

BEAUTIFUL COLOR EFFECTS IN
HEDGES
BY /. Nj. BENNINGTON.

One of the most beautiful hedges is
made by planting scarlet saliva in a
row as a background, then row OF
white nicotiana, with blue ageratum as
a border. In this combination we get
our patriotic colors. While the vivid
blue of the ageratum and the flaming
scarlet of the SALIVA would be anything
but a pleasing note if planted next
each other the intervening white nj
cotiana, softens and blends the col
ors until the effect is a thing of beau
ty.
ZinniaS, calliopsis and white phloX
is another effective combination for
hedges or mass planting. Plant the
zinnias in the back row, then the cal
liopSis and let white phloX form the
border.
Ricinus makes a splendid plant for
hedges. 1t grows TO the height of sew
en- or eight feet, with huge coppcry
leaves. This plant is also effective as
a screen or used in the center OF cir
cular beds. where its rich tropical fol-
iage if combined with harmonious
plants Is Il thing of beauty
The seed is tender ana should not
be put into the ground until all dam
ger from frost is past. In planting for
hedges use nasurtums, zinnias or cal
liopsis in front Of it.

FRESH AIR GOOD EOR FACE
Idea That skin Should Be Protected
by Thick Wells in Winter Is De-
clared Mistaken One.

It IS a mistaken idea that bundling
up to the eyes and covering the face
with thick wells protects the skin in
the winter, says a writer in Farm and
TireSide. The more the face is ex-
posed TO the fresh air the better 1t will
be for the complexion, and there is
nothing more invigorating ana benef-
cial than a brisk walk during a snow
furry. Never carry an umbrella when
1t is showing. The best kind of wafer
to wash your face in is soft rain water,
and as snow is only frozen water,
there is surely no reason why it should
be injurious to the skin.
DO not wash your face before going
ont into the open air. but if cleansing
IS necessary, apply cold cream and rub
it well into the pores, afterward wip-
Ing the face we'll with soft towel
Cleanse the face with cold cream and "A
good massage cream at least once
week, and apply a lotion to the face,
hands and lips every night before re-
firing. The lips are more susceptible
to cold and chap more easily than any
other part of the face.

Button and Sewing Bag.

enough for the needle case to be
slipped in and out easily.
Sew up both side edges above to
form button bag, turn down hem at
top and run in red, white and blue rib
bon, leaving long loops TO hang up by
or to roll up and tie.
Monograms or initials may be en-
broidered on outside of needle case be-
fore the bag is finished
Round pinballs may be made to fit
each end of spool, filled with pins; a
hole bored in center of each and loops
or bows of ribbon attached, letting the
ribbon go through spool and fastening
tightly to hold pinballs in place.
Also a row of safety pins could be
inserted just as the needles were, but
extra length must be added before you
start 10 work.
These are very pretty made of fancy
ribbon, using French knots or cross
stitching, bows, etc.

EASY TO GROW FLOWERS AND
SHRUBS.

Why should net the playground at
school be made one of the beautiful
places of the school district? Here
the children spend most of their wake
full hours. more during the school
hours than at home. These hours of
study and play mean much more when
their surroundings are conducive to
putting forth their best efforts.
The green leaves OF the spring, the
colored foliage of the fall, the sumac,
asters and goldenrod, all add some
thing to creating more cheerful
spirit.
This is the day Of popular education.

FOR THE SOLDIERS
MATERIALS FOR THE WRAP
SeIf-Brocates in Soft Satin or in Satin
and Velvet Preferred by Some to
Gorgeous Metailics.

For those who do rot care for the
gorgeous metallics and the luminous
velvctS there are self-brocades in soft
satin or in satin and velvet which are
decidedly worth while for the wrap.
In some instances these come in dull
gray, which combines beautifully with
chinchilla or with better grades of
squirrel And right here it is worth
noting that Austrian opossum is back
and is being used alike for evening and
day coats.
Kolnsky is another fur to which the
Paris and American designers have
been partial in its association with
rich wraps. Ermine, Of course, Is
considered the fur par excellence for
evening wear.
1t IS wonderfully &llIring whom as.
sociated with the beautiful velvets or
with dark brocades. It does not seem
to be as effective when it is used 10
trim the metallic garments, perhap!
because the latter need a dark fur ~
bring out their special beauty.

something must be wrong with their

The smartest women are today dress.
ing in the simplest fashion. This is
not only on account of the war, but
it is also because the women of this
country are coming TO realize that
clothes must express personality, and
they do not wish to be clasSed as
women who are loud in their tastes
and given to maguiLcence of dress on
the street, says a fashion writer. The
girl who keeps herself young as long
as she can. who is dainty about her
person and wears simple things, VIII
find that her charm will be much great
err than that of the girl who starts in
ut an early age to copy some actress
or other woman of mature years, who
would give all of her aids to beauty
for just one-half of a young girls
charm.

In the search for substitutes for live
stock food Il German scientist made
analytical tests of materials suggested
for the purpose. He found dried rhu-
barb leaves better than hay as fodder
for hogs; kelp may be fed to cattle
and pigs, but it has little nutritive
value: ground straw, which is selling
Mt from 2S to so marks the quirtal, is
not good for any animal, nor are
ground pea pods. He advises against
cornstalks and cobs. The seeds Of
beets are nutritive, those of parsley
too exciting, those of raisins, if ground
before the oil is extracted, are as good
as hay. Oil cakes made from beech
or other nuts are excellent for cattle.
