COLLAR CURES ARMY FLYERS
 BROKEN NECK
Surgeons Mend Lieutenant After 25OO Foot Fall and
 He Flies Again

There is a man in San Francisco walking around with broken neck He is Lieutenant Charles M. Cummins of Richmond. Va
 Cummins was an army aviator While making a flight at Gerstnei Field, La. In February. 1918, he fell 2500 feet, fracturing the fourth, fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae and dis, locating several other vertebrae par. tially.
 After the fall he was sent to Letter. man General Hospital at the Presidio in San Francisco for treatment Army surgeons who are almost working mir acles there in the reconstruction of the war wounded finally fitted metal collar on the aviator to carry the weight of his head It worked-and now Lieutenant Cummins Is walking about apparently normal.
 Only One of Many.
 Lieutenant Cummins' case is only one of many, but 1t stands out because of the popular superstition that man can't live if his neck is broken. The reconstruction surgeons at Letterman are working on hundreds of cases much more difficult than the flyers.
 They are receiving men there daily from the battlefields of France, whose legs and arms hang withered and help less and they are turning those men out, after months of special treatment and patient mechanical manipulation, able to use their arms and legs and capable of making a living,
 The cost. of course, is tremendous when one takes into consideration the fact that the same work Is being car. ried on in many military hospitals, Already Congress has appropriated mil. lions of dollars to carry on the work and millions more will have to be made available for the cause. For 1t is a cause, this regeneration of the men who gave their bodies to their coun. try.
 Cummins Files Again.
 Part of the money to be realized from the Victory Liberty Loan will be used for this job of reconstruction or regeneration. Think of this when you are making up your mind as to how much of the loan you, personally. are going to subscribe.
 Lieutenant Cummins made flight with his collar on just to convince him. self that he hadn't lost his nerve We can't afford to lose our nerve on dollar and cents proposition in the face of the deeds of such men.

Fire Insurance Rates
in Bogalusa Reduced

Fire insurance agents in Bogalusa
are in receipt Of new ratings, effec-
tive July 1, materially reducing the
rates for fire insurance, due to i'm
provements, in water system and the
city fire department. The reduction
is approximately 25 per cent on all
property under the protection of the
city waterworks and the fire depart
ment, which means a great saving on
insurance premiums. There is no
credit, however, for the residence
section of North Bogalusa, as the
city has not yet installed fire hy-
drants and mains, and no credit can
be given until these improvements
are made.
The New Orleans Underwriters
Agency has been instrumental in
working with the Louisiana Fire Pre-
vention Bureau to have the rates re-
duced and their inspector was in Boz
galusa several weeks making the in
spections which resulted in the re-
duction in rates.

GLORIOUS FOURTH
CELEBRATED QUIETLY

BogaHlsa was unorganiZed so far
as its regard to the anniversary Of
national independence is concerned.
No great demonstration marked the
passing of the Fourth OF July, but it
is doubtful If there was 3 city in all
the South that felt the sacredness of
the day with keener sense Of pa
triotism. The day was family day.
Men, their wives and children went
to the woods, to the parks, to their
neighbours homes and spent the day
in fine sociability ans restful ease.
There was scarcely spot along
any creek bank within several miles
of Bogalusa that did not have its
quota Of men, women and children.
Fire crackers enlivened the day
everywhere, and the eats that were
dispensed maintained the reputation
of Bogalusa women as the best cooks
to be found in the state. 1t would
be impossible to name the people who
spent the day in the country, unless
it were possible to publish a small
edition of the regular city directory.
At night the BogalEsa Y. M. G. A.
Band took its place in Goodyear
Park and played number of selec-
tions and moving pictures were
shown upon the open screen. A large
crowd came out to cool off and en-
joy the music and pictures, and the
little rain that fell did not dampen
the enthusiasm of the crowd.

THRIFT CAMPAIGN TO START

The First State Bank soon will in
augurate an unique Thrift Campaign.
They have secured a limited supply
of hand grenades which were manu-
featured for the use of the army, but
which, thanks to the victory won,
will be turned into savings banks.
1t is proposed to lend these hand
grenade savings banks to the chill
dren with the understanding that
they will earn money oy doing odd
jobs and keep it in the grenade,
bringing it to bank from time to
time and exchanging the money for
Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
If enough is saved to purchase one
War Savings Stamp by October 1,
1919, the hand grenade becomes the
property of the saver. Otherwise 1t
must be returned to the bank under
signed agreement.

Two fast games were played Mon
day night between the First State
Bank and the Walkovers, the Recalls
and Douglas Shoes.
In the first game the two teams
were running an even race until the
third inning, when the First State
made a run and stepped ahead. They
added two more later and the final
score was: First State Bank 4, Walk
overs /.
nous Keaton was injured while
sliding in home in the third inning
and the Walkovers had to take him
out of the box, thereby crippling
their team. Keaton was pitching ex-
cellent ball and should he not have
been injured the score probably
would have been different.
The second game was one OF the
fastest ever played in the local gym
nasium, both teams playing air-tight
ball. The final score was: Recalls 3,
Douglas Shoes 2.
There will be two games tonight.
The First State Bank and Recalls
will play for the leadership OF the
league. The public is invited and
admission is free.

Ernestine and Robert, left Bogalusa
for their home in Pittsburg, Pa,

of this vicinity restored her to health.

have a warm spot in her heart for

Several young men of BogaIusa

LARGEST COTTON
CROP IN THREE
YEARS
All States Except Texas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and
Florida Show Increases
Over Preceding Year.

Washington, July 8.-The Ameri-
can cotton crop of 1918 (12,040,532
equivalent 500-pound bales, gross
weight) was somewhat greater than
the crops Of the preceding three
years, but was less than those grown
in the years 1911 TO 1914 and was
also below the average for the last
five years and the last ten years
12,423,917 bales and 12,728,576
bales respectively. The production
in all the cotton states except Texas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Florida,
showed increases as compared with
the preceding year. The greatest in
crease-333, 047 bales, or 1853 per
eent-appears for South Carolina,
and the greatest proportional in
crease-33,867 bales, or 1868 per
cent-fcr Arizona. The greatest abb
solute decrease-428,817 bales, or
1877 per CENTS shown for Texas,
and the greatest proportional de-
crease-382195 bales, 1919 per cent
for Oklahoma.
During the nine-months' period
ended April so, 1919, the produc-
ton of linters amounted to 876,990
equivalent 500-pound bales. This is
less than the production during the
corresponding period for either of
the preceding two years, But is great
er than the total production for any
year prior to 1915.
Last years sea island cotton crop,
52,208 running bales, is the smallest
shown for any year since 1899, the
earliest year covered by the bureaus
ginning reports. This type of cot
ton, however, represents only very
small fraction of the total, the pro-
portion in 1918 being less than one
half of one per cent. All the sea
island cotton grown in the United
States is produced in Florida, Geor-
gia and South Carolina.
Cotton is grown to a greater or
less extent in seventeen states, but
the combined product of Texas,
Georgia, South Carolina and Missis-
sippi-the only states which produce
more than a million bales each in
1918-represented more than five
eighths-63.2 per cent-of the total
crop of that year. Texas alone pro-
duced 1885, 61 bales, or 22.4 per
cent; Georgia, 2,122,405 bales, or
17.6 per cent; South Carolina, l.
500 ,918 bales, or Is per cent, and
Mississippi, 1,226,O51 bales, or 1912
per cent.
The only two counties that pro-
.dsaeed more than 100000 bales each
from the growth of 1918 were Boil
var, in Mississippi, with 124,936
bales, and Oraneburg, in South Car
DINA, with 11O,718 bales.
