SHOPMEN HERE
VOTE TO STRIKE

About two hundred employees Of
the N. o. G. N. shops, of the various
crafts, voted on the strike during the
past few days, and while the official
vote could not be announced, it was
learned that the majority in favor of
the strike was overwhelming. In
some instances not one vote was cast
against the strike. The result was
sent to national headuarters and the
results will be officially announced
August 25. 1t is believed that 80
per cent of the shop employees of the
United States will vote in favor of
the strike.
There have been no new Develop
ments in the situation during the
past week, except that messages have
been sent to every craft to urge the
men who quit work to return. I'm
less they do so President Wilson
stated that he would not consider
their claim, and as a result national
officers of the shopmen have notified
men who left their work without a
vote that unless they return at once
their union cards will be taken up.

NOVEL PARTY BY
Mr.. AND MRS. SAUX

Mr.. ard Mrs. Leopold Saux were
hosts to the nurses of the Bogalusa
Hospital and their friends at water
melon party Tuesday evening at the
Pine Tree Inn. Not only were the
watermelons in abundance, but more
than a dozen couples came and en-
joyed one of the liveliest evenings of
entertainment that has been spent
this summer. The bathing costumes
were in evidence, massaging of face
and shoulders with watermelon rinds
was practiced scientifically, and
manicuring done gripping red was
the common practice.
The party lasted until late hour,
and all but three Of the nursing staff
participated in the pleasure. The
boy and girl friends who were SO
fortunate as to be included i'm the
party join the nurses in voting fMr.
and Mrs. Saux delightful entertain;

sort, and watermelon an ideal agent

MizelI VIII Recover
From Accident

Fred Mizell of Sun, La, who is
well known in Bogalusa, suffered a
broken nose and serious injuries to
the face Tuesday morning while
working in the Bogue Chitto swamps.
He was employed by the Slidell Greco
soting Company with logging gang
and sustained the injury while I'M
loading a log. He was brought to
the Bogalusa Hospital where he was
given treatment. There is some hope
of saving his nose, but the injury is
so serious that it is possible that his
face will be marred for life.
He was in the act of unloading q
log when it dropped to the ground
and struck a chunk of wood with suf-
ficient leverage to cause it to fly in
young MiZells face, almost driving
his nose backward into his head. For
some time his life was despaired.
By merest chance his mother was
in Bogalusa and at the hospital when
he was brought in, having come here
for treatment. She was leaving the
institution and saw the man brought
in on a stretcher. Pausing to take
second look at the wounded man,
she discovered that it was her son,
She remained to help care for him.

Work to Start On
TwoNew Schools

Bogalusa is to have two new school
buildings, and that as soon as they
can be constructed. One will be an
eight-room building to be located on
Columbia street, and the other will
be located on Ontario street in
Northwest Bogalusa, to serve Boga-
lusa Terrace and Adamstown. The
latter will be a six-room structure.
Both buildings will be modernly
equipped. The two structures will
cost about $4,000.
At its last meeting the City Coun-
Gil entertained a report from Com
missioner of Education j. p. Starns,
in which it was stated that the school
buildings in these sections were
wholly inadequate. Mr.. Starns was
instructed to look at once to a proper
solution of the difficulty. On Fri
day Of last week, in company with
Mayor w. H. Sullivan, Citv Clerk K.
/. Bean, Superintendent Ratliff, En-
gineer C. F. Buck and C. L. Johnson.
Mr.. Starns went over the ground
carefully and these gentlemen were
thoroughly convinced that steps must
be taken right now to make better
provision for the schools in these
parts. Hence the decision to get
busy and put up the buildings.

''Y" BAND SOON TO
HAVE 1S PIECES

The Y. M. C. A. Band is making
every arrangement to become one Of
the best musical organization in
Louisiana. w. E. Seldner, who has
charge of the band, has been looking
out for more men who can produce
music on the horns, and in order to
assure the getting of the right kind
of men-the ones who will stick-he
is undertaking to guarantee a job to
any musician who will make Boga-
lusa his home. Three men have been
added lately, two coming from the
army. Messrs. Holloway, Cotton and
Blanchard are the new men and two
of them play the cornet and one bari
tone.
At present the Y. M. C. A. Band
has twelve pieces, but the organiza-
ton desired by Mr.. Seldner will be
band of eighteen pieces. He is in
correspondence with number OF
good musicians in other cities, men
who have been members Of good
bands, and is in hopes of landing the
full number in few weeks.
Regular practice is held and those
who are now members of the organ
ization are making fine progress.

JESS JOHNSON IS
SUJPERVISOROF
CENSUS
For This District and Will
Select His Assistants Who
Will Receive $500 for a
Months Work.

Recognition of Bogalusa's popula-
ton. something the city has been try
ing to get for a number of years, is
gong to be known to the world with
in few months, and justice will be
done to the city when it comes to
counting noses" Jess Johnson, the
popular young attorney who recently
returned from several months over
seas service, has been appointed SUI
pervIsor of the census for the Sixth
Congressional District. The appoint-
nent carries with it nice little sal
airy and the work can be done with
out interfering greatly with his prac-
tice. Under Mr.. Johnson will be an
assistant for every member of the
police jury in ward. For instance,
there will be four assistants for Be-
galusa and six from other parts of
the parish, making a total of ten.
These assistants viii receive 500 for
months work, which will be in the
month of January.
Mr.. Johnson states that he has re-
ceived applications from several
parts of the district, but has made
no appointments. He will begin get
ting everything in readiness for the
taking of the census within the next
few days and it viii require more
or less of his time until the middle of
February. The district is composed
Of the following parishes: Ascen-
sion, East Baton Rouge, East Felici-
ana, Iberville, Livingston, Pointe
Coupee, st. Helena, st. 4ammany
Tangipahoa, Washington, West Baton
Rouge and West Feliciana. The pop
ulation of 1910, as reported by the
government, was PAT, 612, and it is
expected that the census this year
viii give the district population OF
over 100000.
The Importance of having Boga.
lusa's population accurately reported
is great to the city. Bogalusa's pop.
hulati0n at the last Federal census
was reported as about $500, and this
census will show that Bogalusa'c
population has increased about SOC
per cent, and will prove to the out.
side world that Bogalusa is one OF
the leading cities of the state. Those
who have never visited Bogalusa are
incliH I'd to think that the city's pop.
ulatbn. is not over 5000, and once
the federal census proves we have
the population it will mean a great
deal to the city in more than one
way

PLANS ADOPTED FOR
SOLDIER MEMORIAL

The committee appointed by the
City Council to prepare and execute
plans for a monument to memorial
ize the men of Bogalusa and Wash
ington parish who Tough in the great
war met in the City Hall Monday
afternoon with representative of
concerns that erect monuments. The
committee is composed of George
Wilcox, chairmsn; j. A. Spekenhier,
j. B Lindsey, Rev. ]. E. Brakefield
and Rev. A. T. Gearheard. All but
Reverend Brakefield were present.
The committee had before it a
number of drawings of monuments
erected in other cities, and reached
the conclusion that a marble tablet
presenting four bronze plates with
the names of the Washington tarish
boys engraved thereon would make
a suitable monument. The edifice is
to stand before the City Hall, bor-
dering the street on one side and
the driveway on the other. surround
ed by pavement and beautifully
lighted. The whole structure to
present an imposing piece of archi-
lecture that will be more than a
monument to the hoys-a pride to
the city for decades to come.
A competent architect was en-
gagged to prepare the sketches for
presentation to the City Council at
a meeting soon to be called, after
which steps will be taken to arrange
for the money. It will take at least
six months to secure the names of
the soldiers of the parish and have
them properly engraved and have the
monument erected.
