PROMINENT CITIZEN
SCORES AGITATORS

R. d. Fornea, a prominent mer-
chant of Varnado and an influential
citizen of Washington parish, in dis
cussing the labor situation in Boga-
lusa one day this week had the fol-
lowing to say:
81 was born and reared in this par
ish and have been in business for a
number of years." said Mr.. Fornea,
"and / am in position to know con-
ditions in Washington parish, both
past and present. Labor agitators
of late have been censuring the Great
Southern Lumber Company as a
giant capitalistic corporation that is
grinding them down. The Great
Southern has not taken anything
from them, for up to the time the
company began operations in the par
ish they had nothing to take. On the
other hand, this great enterprise has
made possible good schools nine
months of the year, where only three
months schooling was possible for
our children before the coming Of the
Great Southern-and they pay the
great bulk of the taxes.
"Again, few years ago the sight
OF SzU-gOiu ceFtulcaEe was rare.
Today most any laborer can reach in
his hip pocket and produce one or
more. This has been made possible
by the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany.
81 have enjoyed several years of
business with this company and with
w. H. Sullivan personally, and have
always been treated fairly. / am an
ardent admirer of Mr.. Sullivan and
feel that he deserves great praise and
credit for the building up of a great
enterprise which is the life blood of
Bogalusa and to a great extent of
Washington parish. The sympathy
of all classes in this section are with
the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany II the present labor crisis"

BOGALUSA VOTES HALF MILLION
FOR SCHOOLS, STREETS, SEWERS
Overwhelming Majority in Favor of the improvements
Which Are Badly Needed-It Is Estimated Work
Can Begin on Schools By First of Year-How They
Voted in All Sections ofthe City

Bogalusa's bond issue, which some
believed was in danger of being de-
feated, owing to local conditions, has
been voted and the vote shows that
despite the temporary lull in the big
industries that the property owners
are not in the least discouraged. AS
a matter of fact the vote in the cleo
ton Tuesday was about the same as
the bond election two years ago. In
votes the bond carried by almost 9
to 1, while in property value it aver
aged about SIS to 81.
The total amount of bonds voted
was $525,000, of which $3.50, 900
goes to building new schools, 1885,
900 for the extension of the water
and sewerage systems, $125,OOO for
the improvements of the city streets,

BOGALUSA LOSES

not until the Crescent CITY bows had
argued the matter at great LENGTH
and the home team had defended its
CLAIMS IN a most vigorous style.
Wnen the score card was examined
II was discovered that New Orleans
nao IL points and Bogalusa had
none: The game was clean and to
the line observer who has experience
It was plain that New Orleans won

VINE and Lewis two good men, who
played clean ball all the way through.

the baby elephant who PLAYED full
pack for New Orleans, played well.
but was not the awful terror son1e
OF the local boys feared. GREY. the
left end man, played good ball.
The home team showed the want
OF good coach. It was too much of
a one-man game at the beginning.
All was staked on Pat Ramey and
ne played the game to a standstiU-
put IN doing. so was not physically
aDle TO hold out to the end. The
local team needs to learn to shift It's
plays from one good man to another
so that the whole team will keep fit
to play the game throughout. Team
for team, Bogalusa showed bv far
the. best material, but the poorest
training.

at the 7. M. c. A. Saturday night.
Both the New Orleans and Bogalusa
teams were represented and as fine
looking bevy of girls as are to be

show them the Bogalusa spirit. The
evening was not just one Of CAB and
splutter, neither was It an exhibition
of what fine lot of mothers the To-
cal girls have-it was a treat to the
palates of the boys in the form of
chicken salad, sandwiches, fruit
salad, iced tea, ice cream and cake,
all of which was prepared and served
by the girls. A late hour was
reached in merriment and the home

BILL TO ENFORCE DRY LAW
State Commissioner and Eight Depu

ties Proposed For Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg. Ra. March 2S.-A pro-
hibitiOn commissioner for the state.
anpointed for four years and receiving
a salary of $500 a year. and eight
de1)uties, charged with the duty of
enforcing bone-dry legislation. are
provided for in a bill that will be in
troduced in the house Monday night
by Representative John w. Vickerman,
of Allegheny.
The measure has been drafted by
Attorney General Schaffer, following
conferences with Governor Sproul,
and represents the views of the adj
ministration. The commissioner and
his deputies would be charged with
the duty Of enforcing laws reg dating
the manufacture ard sale Of intoNicat-
ing liquors. All applications for per-
mits to manufacture or distribute in
stovicants would be made 10 the depu-
ties. each one of whom would have
charge of Il district
The Vickerman bill will not attempt
TO define what is and what is not an
intoXicant. The theory on which the
bill is framed is that the federal laws
necessarily will determine the state
regulations regarding prohibition. This
being the position of the admnistra
ton, it is the expectation that the
Ramsey bill permitting the manufac
ture and sale of beverages containing
2,75 per cent of alcohol, will fall by
the wayside, with other legislation of
4 like nature.

making progress for all that; sup
pose that, rounding a turn in the

In this crisis you accept the one
chance of escaping humiliation. You
autom atically smut off the power and

chine skids up to the edge OF the
abyss and stops. After ali intense
moment of waiting, you all step cut,
unhurt. You find. however, that
the effort of stopping has ruined two
expensive tires, burned out your
