Butter, Eggs, Meat
Down-In Chicago

Those who have been contending
that there will be no slump in prices
may begin to see that it is about time
to change their minds. Evidence of
this was brought out very strongly in
Chicago last week when in three days
the price of butter dropped 10 cents
per pound and eggs dropped in from
from 10 to Is cents dozen. The
price of pork in Chicago dropped s
cents pound Saturday.
In Bogalusa, however, there was
no noticeable change in prices and
Monday eggs were selling at 65 and
rs cents a dozen, and you could get
pound of butter for the same
money. 1t is expected, however, that
within a few days the decline in
prices will be noticeable in every
community. In New Orleans there
was no change in prices, but the deal
ers are expecting it daily.

BOOZE BILL WOULD
BUILD MILLION HOMES

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 29.-The victory
of "Bone Dry America" which the
ratification of the constitutional pro-
hibition amendment has brought
about, could be made to mean thou
sand miles Of homes built Of wood,
according to Chicago expert with
figures. In other words, row of
frame cottages erected on fifty-foot
lots would stretch out that distance.
The calculator who turns the pro-
hibtion victory into splendid col
lection of happy firesides, encased in
that most famous of building mate
riaI-lumber - figures about this
way:
''The United States Cor rather its
peoplel has spent each year for
liquor 81, 100000 which now it
will have for the purchase of other
things. This sum would buy 100000
dwellings at an average cOstof $4,000
each-a row over a thousand miles
long if built on fifty-foot lots"
Though it is not so stated, this
proposition of a thousand miles OF
happy lumber-built homes would be
repeated every year, so that at the
end of ten years there would be ten
thousand miles of such homes. More
figuring shows that this means there
would be eight million such homes,
which ought to take care of large
part of the earth.

Executive Department
City Hall

By a joint resolution of our
National Senate and House
Of Representatives, unani-
mously adopted, February 9th
has been set apart for the
holding of memorial services
for Theodore Roosevelt. It
is also planned by the Nation
al Council of Defense to have
memorial services held in
every city in the Union on
the same date. In his recon-
mendation that these memoir
ial services be held in honor
of Mr.. Roosevelt, the chair
man made the following state
ment:
1.-THE honoring of Theodore
Roosevelt is a matter that
transcends party belief and
personal prejudice. He lived
greatly for America and that
is enough to justify even
those who opposed him in
mourning his death. With
iron courage he performed a
major operation on the public
morals of his country at a
time when public ethics had
become dulled and with dar-
ing and unfailing dignity he
increased the prestige of
America abroad. Of no Amer
lean can it be more truthfully
said that his heart was incar-
mated with the flag. For
these things alone all Aneri-
cans who have lived in his
time should hold themselves
in his debt and should turn
aside on the ninth day of
February to honor his passing
from the national stage"
During his term as Presi-
dent, Mr.. Roosevelt visited
the South, and especially dur
ing the yellow fever epidemic
did he show that he was a
great friend of the Southern
people.
In consideration Of the
foregoing, |, e. R. Cassidy,
Acting Mayor of the City of
Bogalusa, do hereby set apart
February 9 as the day for
holding memorial services in
honor of Theodore Roosevelt
in the City of Bogalusa, and
do urge every citizen of this
city to attend this service,
which will be held at the Y.
w. C. A. building at $3.50
o'clock p. M, February 9th,
1919.
This done and signed in my
office at the City Hall this
goth day of January, 1919.

PROCLAMATION
Executive Department
City Hall

The American. Committee
for Relief in the Near East
is asking for $30,0O0,O00 to
provide food, shelter and
medical attention in the re-
Mobilization of the races in
Western Asia, who were vic
Tins of the ruthless Turk
during the period of the war.
Among the sufferers are Ar
menians, Syrians, Jews, Per-
slams and Greeks. President
Wilson has issued a strong
proclamation on the subject,
calling for help, and the move
ment is warmly Endorsed by
such eminent men as Cardinal
Gibbons, Robert Lansing and
Herbert Hoover.
This humanitarian cause is
a most worthy one, and the
Christian charity of rich
America should manifest it
self generously by pouring
out the millions needed for
the alienation of those unfor-
tunate victims of a cruel war
which was not caused by any
action of theirs.
/, therefore, urge the peo-
pie of the City of Bogalusa
to contribute literally, par
ticularly during the special
campaign which will be held
February 3rd to 10th, 1919.
In testimony whereof |
hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the City Of
Bogalusa to be affixed this
the twenty-ninth (29l day of
January, 1919.
