Mrs. II. B. NIagee Entertains
Sunday School Class.

The Rosebud set has placed
Mrs. Hampton B. Magee at the
head of the list of "real enter
tainers" since the delightful af-
fair they enjoyed at her hospit-
able home on Friday night last,
when she entertained her Sunday
School class and their guests, each
Of the boys of the class having a
girl invited as partner for their
games.
With her able assistants, Misses
Ruth Magee and Callie Bush,
games of the most interesting and
varied character were entered into
with no chance to tire of any, and
no interlude in which to get dull.
And then the beautiful dining
room and attractive spread, just
like "grown ups; which impelled
the yonng people to rise the step
higher to meet the occasion.
The refreshments consisted of a
salad course with a variety Of
sandwiches followed by ice cream
and cake, after which the "good
night" game was played and the
little guestswereconveyed to their
homes by automobile thru the
courtesy of Mrs. Magee and Mr..
Richard Darlington.
Mrs. .Magee's success as an enter.
tainer lies in her ability to enter
unreservedly into the fun of the
young people while at the same
time supervising and directing
them to wholesome amusement
and safeguarding them in a man
ner to win the appreciation of
grateful parents. An enviable
faculty this is.

IN their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms Of their hands and smell it.
The nose is al insa.iible guide to smok-

President f. B. Bateman call
ed the meeting to order and after
the invocation by Mr.. Knight the
minutes of the regular netting
held January 10th and the special
meeting held on March 81 were
read and approved.
The report Of the Finance Com
mittee submitted and read, after
which a motion was made, Sec
onded and carried, that the follow
ing propositions be and are here
by adopted
|. That the budget or receipts
for the session of 1919 1920 as
provided for by Constitutional
Amendments be fixed as follows
State or current school fund $50, 100000
Police Jury, Il mills, ..25, $780, 90
Fines and fOrfeitures ...... 100000
Foil taxes. 100000
II mills, Constitutional amend
ment' '''............,....25, 100000
2. Whereas, the lowest rate of
special school tax in any district
in the Parish is four mills and
the average rate for the Parish is
FIVE mills or more; and,
Whereas, a parish wide main
tenance tax is much more desir.
able than any special district
taxes running from four to fifteen
mills; and;
Whereas, it has been estimated
that four mill parish wide
special tax will better provide for
the schools under the recent Con-
stitutional Amendments than
they have peen provided for dur.
ing the past few years with much
higher rates of special school
taxes,
We, therefore, recommend that
a special election be ordered for
the purpose of submitting to the
property taxpayers entitled to
vote in such elections the PROPOSE,
ton to vote d parish wide-with
the exception of the City of
Bogalusa--four mill special school
tax for period of five years for
