Warning to All
Citizens Issued

The Mothers Honor Commission
feels that a word of warning should
be given the good citizens of Boga-
lusa, who have always responded so
generously to any call for aid, either
financial or otherwise, sent out by
them, and they feel it their duty to
protect the people from being called
upon to give to persons who are oft
entimes not worthy.
During the past few months there
has been upon the streets of our city
quite number of persons soliciting
money for people supposed to be in
financial distress. The Mothers
Honor Commission feels that the peo-
pie of Bogalusa are well enough ae-
aRainted with them to know that
4 " are always ready and willing to
q e assistance to, any worthy per-
50 IS who may call on them.
Whenever such things are reported
the Mothers Honor Commission in
vestigates the needs of such parties
and renders all assistance possible,
or in case where they are not able
to do the things necessary, they are
referred to the proper authorities.
Therefore, they urge the people
not to give promiscuously to persons
soliciting money on the streets or
from house to house, as the case may
be, but to kindly refer them to the
Mothers Honor Commission. Fur
thermore, we have city ordinance
against such soliciting without a per-
NIT from the city authorities. So,
again we urge the people to be care
full.
A phone message to the Mothers
Honor Commission, phoned in to the
Y. W. C. A., will be promptly de-
livered by the secretary to the proper
authority.

Bogalusa Boy
Cited for Bravery

The Details of the death of John
A. Hammer, the first Bogalusa eiti-
zen to be killed in action in France,
were made known in a letter to rela-
tives which was received this week.
John Hammer was killed while car
rying an important message from his
commanding officer to a superior Of
ficer and it was necessary for him to
pass through territory where there
was heavy fighting. Mr.. Hammer
knew the dangers of his journey, but
volunteered to carry the important
papers. He was killed on June 2,
1919, while trying to deliver the
message and his bravery was so con-
spicuous that the French government
has awarded him the Cross de Guerre,
as has also the United States gov
eminent. The medal was received
in Bogalusa this week and vii be re-
turned to his sister in New Orleans.
John A. Hammer was nephew of
Frank Taffe, of the N. o. G. N. and
young Hammer was also employed at
the shops at the time he volunteered
for the Marines. He was a member
of the Bogalusa Council K. of C.
and is well remembered by large
number of citizens.

EPISCOPAL SERVICES

members of the Episcopal church of
Bogalusa, were held at the Y. M. c..
A. Sunday morning, the sermon be-
ing delivered by Revend J. o. Miller
of Covington. DIR. Miller was un-
able to attend the previous Sunday,
hence the weeks delay in holding
Easter services. His sermon was one
of the finest heard in Bogalusa. Spe-
cial music had been arranged for the
services and Julian Willoughby beau
tifully rendered solo.
DR.. Miller left for Slidell on the
Sunday afternoon train where he held

Ladies Orchestra
to Play at Dance

Bogalusa is to have an opportun-
ity of dancing to music furnished by
an orchestra composed of ladies that
has given great satisfaction in sew
eral of the best cities in the South.
Besides playing for dance they will
render musical program of one
hour and thirty minutes. Whether
the event will be held at the Elks'
Home or at the Bogalusa Armory has
not been decided, as DR.. Clave E.
Gill, who has charge of the event fol-
the Elks, states that there has been
such a demand for tickets that he
does not believe the Elks' Home will
accommodate the crowd.
At Lafayette and New iberia,
where the orchestra played last week,
the music was so good that the crowd
employed them to. play two hours
longer than their contract called for
and it is believed that on the occa-
sion Of their visit here that not only
everyone who enjoys dancing, but
those who appreciate music and do
not dance, viii attend.

WAR EXPERIENCES
OF HARRY POOLE

Harry Poole was asked by the En-
terprise to give some of his expert
ances in France, which are as fol-.
lows:
1.-THE first front that I was on was
the Quiet Sector, that is where /
learned the tricks of gas and heavy
shell fire. Then my division relieved
the Marines at Chateau Thierry. Here
the big offensive was started during
July. wslpushed the Germans back
thirty kilometers. After this our
next sector was st. Mihiel. Here we
pushed the Germans back thirteen
hlometers in one night.
"We shifted to the Trianon sector
and made a fake drive on the 26th
of December. The only two Huns
that I am positive that l killed was
on that date. This was the hottest
small battle was in.
"On October is we moved to the
Argonne forest. Here we got con-
tinual gas and heavy shell fire, the
machine guns making very strong
resistance. It was during this fight
that we fought against the best Ger
man company, the Prussian Guards.
We were relieved on October S1st.
eve were then shifted TO the
Mouse sector on November 8 and re-
NAMED there until November II, re-
ceiving very little resistance.
"We embarked from FIanee on the
first day Of April on the Agamem-
non, and arrived in Boston on the
7th."

Ask for Increase
in Telephone Rates

Bogalusa telephone subscribers are
asked to pay higher monthly rent
and it is expected that the Railroad
Commission will give their answer
for the increase in rates within the
next few days. The request for the
advance was made to the Railroad
Commission at Baton Rouge Satur-
day.
Bogalusa folks who have business
phones will be asked to pay rs cents
per month more, and those who have
residence phones will be asked an ad-
vance of 35 cents per month.
The increase in cost of operation
of the local plant is said to have been
the reason for asking for an advance
in rates. Labor and material have
both advanced and unless greater
rate is permitted it is stated the local
plant cannot pay the operating ex-
penses.
No organized effort has been made
on the part of Bogalusa to oppose the
proposed increase in rates.

work on the magnificent new home
Of the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company, which is to be
located between the City Hall and
Austin street, will start by July /.

months ago, but delay on the work
was caused owing to the fact that it
was necessary 20 get permission from
the United States government, which
now has control of the telephone af-
fairs Of the nation. The authority
for erecting the building was given
few days ago and the contract for
the work will be let in few days.

N.O.G.N.E Employees
Hold Big Meeting

The employees of the N. o. G. N.
railroad held meeting at the Ar
mory Monday night for a discussion
of Government Control of the Rail
roads," which was attended by a
large number of the employees as well
as other citizens. The employees of
the railroad marched to the meeting
in a body, five crafts being repre-
sented, each wearing badges.
v. E. Demile presided as chairman
of the meeting and, after a short
talk, introduced the first speaker,
Harry Matcelus, who enthused the
audience with an interesting address.
Congressman j. Y. Sanders was then
introduced and made the principal
speech of the evening. Governor
Sanders stated, in substance, that he
believed the action of the govern
ment in taking over the railroads was
for the best. He, however, reserved
the privilege of changing his opinion
at any future time when figures and
facts were submitted which would
show that the present plan was not
for the best interests sof the public.
If the railroads are turned back to
the owners, Governor Sanders stated
that he was of the opinion the rail
roads should be regulated by the gov
eminent through a committee which
would have the power to see that the
public received good service, just
rates, and power to act with labor
disputes.
The closing address of the evening
was made by D. L. Donnell of New
Orleans, who represented the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
