MAYOR REELECTED
BY ACCLAMATION

Another testimonial of the high
esteem in which the citizens of Boga-
lusa hold Mayor w. H. Sullivan was
shown this week, when he was elect
ed Mayor of the City of Bogalusa
for four years by acclamation. Mr..
Sullivan was appointed the first
Mayor of Bogalusa and now has been
elected without opposition. His ad-
ministration has been one of the
most successful of any municipality
and Bogalusa has made greater
strides during the past four years,
from every standpoint, than any city
in the South. The citizens of Boga-
luso propose to keep Mr.. Sullivan

TO THE WOMEN OF WASHINGTON
PARISH

m the world and that they are
an insurance-ar interest paying
irsurance-on all that we hold
dear.
American women have been
spared so much. Let us spare
nothing in repudiating our great,
everlasting debt to the fighting
men Of the Allied nations-and in
giving balm to the terrible, throb-
ing heartache of our glorious, suf-
fering sisters in Europe. Do you
know that there is not ONE wo-
man in Belgium and northern
France whose body has not been
desecratsd by the Germans? Lit
tle,f gttle children and old, old,
men and women enslayed, beaten,
Observation-Disclosures out of their
own country-and finally thrown
back handles, sightlessS babb-
lins idiots.
Do yoa think We can do TOO
nanch2 MOI We can never, new
er do enough!
OF itself Washington Parish
can do nothing, Bogalusa can do
nothing; yourself, can do moth
ing. The responsibility is yours,
and NO responsibility is too big
for our great hearted women!

My Dear Friends:

MY Dear Friends:
Please, everyone of you, read
this, for everyone of you are di-
rectly concerned.
Do you know that the women
of America are on trial before the
eyes Of all the world; that the
women of Louisiana are on trial
before the eyes of the United
States; that the women of Wash
ington Parish are on trial before
the eyes of the State Of Louisi-
ana? And we represent Wash
ington Parish! The world recog-
nizes American men as the great
est men in the world; Ours to
show them that WE measure up to
that standard.
In New Orleans on Monday last
attended conference of Louisi-
ana Parish chairman for the Wo-
mans Liberty loan Lemmittse.
| saw and heard Representatives
from all our neighboring parishes,
and ! was proud beyond words
of our Washington Parish. Trials
and fluctuations they have had, be-
cause of lack of cooperation
among the women-we have not
had because our women are great
hearted, whole-souled, splendid,
working, fighting for one cause,
which is the last, our cause and we
know it. Troubles these ether
parishes have had because of I'm
willingness on the part of the men
to work with the women, we have
not had, because our men appre-
ciate US, just as we appreciate
them, and need our help, just as
we need theirs.
The State Chairman called up
on me for a general report OF the
last Liberty Loan drive and what
had been done preparatory to the
coming one. l was so happy in
being able to say what | could
say and did say for Washington
Parish and Bogalusa. / told those
ladies that this cooperation be-
tween the men and women here
left nothing to be desired.
quoted the great results of the last
drive and said knew that the re-
suits of the Fourth Loan would
surpass even that splendid record!
You may be sure that they are
watching us, those other parishes,
and we've got to ''come across
bigP' We CAN do SO much!
In the following days great
many of you will be called. upon
to work for the Fourth Liberty
Loan drive. Know that you all
are going to answer with the best
that is in you-and make Wash
ingtOn Parish IOP The LISI.
Start now preparing to buy
Bonds and influencing others to
buy them. You know that they
are the best and safest investment

'Mexicans Celebrate
Nation S Anniversary

This day group of about 20
Mexicans gathered at the Colonial
Hotel, all headed by S. R. DuvaI, to
celebrate the anniversary of the
independence. All these Mexieans
are employees Of the Great Southern
Lumber Co., of this city, mostly la
borers with the exception of two or
three who have been prominent fig
ures in the sister Republic and Mr..
Duval, the chairman" who as speci-
fed, headed the entire commission.
This group organized the banquet
and fixed that the expenses was to
Pc paid By equal parts by All ins
vited, however, this affair became
known to Mr.. W. II. Sullivan. Vice
President Of the Great Southern
Lumber Co., who at once ordered
that these Mexicans be entertained,
given banquet and music, ETC.. and
that they should not undergo any
expense at all, charging all of these
to his own personal account.
Later in the afternoon the group
appeared at the general Offices Of the
Great Southern Lumber Co., to an
nounce their thanks personally to
Mr.. Sullivan. However, Mr.. Sulli-
van was not at his Office at that mo-
nent and representative was re-
ouested by Mr.. Duval, in order to APP
pear and in behalf of Mr.. Sullivan
accept the thanks so heartily tend
cred by this crowd, to whom Mr.. Du-
val addressed speaking in favorable
terms in Spanish, explaining that the
the Great Southern Lumber Co., was
at all times ready to stand by its
employees, and also stating that
whatever volume of Mexicans came
to Bogalusa that they should always
find work, and make their homes,
considering themselves welcome.
It is remarkable after all, that
such small group of Mexicans,
hardly knowing each other, located
themselves to celebrate their ami
versary, being each and everyone
present at the banquet and the feast
where in due opportunity they also
appreciated the fact of being guests
in this country and stated that they
would do all that there is in their
power to carry out ali labor assigned
to them, with as much accuracy as
there may be in their reach.
The undersigned wishes that the
thanks be rendered anew to Mr..
Sullivan through the news lines, ac-
knowledging not only the thanks. but
also a thorough cooperation to
carry out their labor with the salts
faction and the trust that Mr.. SuIli-
van characterizes promising hin. that
ne will always remain satisfied with
whatever volume Of Mexicans ever
may have to stop in this city for
living purposes.
For the entire committee or or
ganization.

At the meeting of the college trustees
last Saturday President Thomas re-
quest for an indefinite leave of absence
in order that he might join the army as
chaplain, beginning October |, was
granted, and Prof. Charles B. Wright
was appointed acting president. In the
absence of Prof. Wright DR.. E. D.
Collins will be in charge.
The trustees appointed John E.
Weeks and Frank C.. Partridge as a
committee authorized to purchase the
house on South street which was the
residence of the late Prof. Seeley, faith
er of Mrs. Thomas. The place will be
remodeled and used as a Presidents s
House. DR.. and Mrs. Thomas are
already moving their furniture out of
the old house on College street, which
for nearly 40 years has been the presi-
dental mansion, into the Seeley house.
For the winter, however, Mrs. Thomas
will make her home at Hepburn Hall.
1t is probable that the old presiden-
tial mansion will be used this winter as
a boys dormitory.
