Many Buy Food;
Oilers Get None

While several h.. 1red dollars
worth Of government food was sold
IL Logala-a or -dolCav, Tuesday
al t,eaLe5 ay, !: 5 not believed
that c..s -ii-c.-tt Of th2 CITIZENS who
would have made purchases did so,
because they did rot know the food
could be ordered and the prices they
would be asked to pay.
Postmaster Wilcox did not receive
his price list and authority for sell
ing the articles until Monday, the day
the orders could be accepted. He
could not accept orders later than 6
o'clock last night, and as a result it
is believed that the local sales were
$1,000 less than they would have
been had the public known the de-
tails. Announcement of the fact that
the postmaster was expecting orders
and the method of securing same
was published in the Enterprise last
week, but the main feature, the
price, could be obtained.
The Great Southern Lumber Com
pany and the Bogalusa Paper Com
pany looked after the interests of
their employees, however, and issued
notices to every department giving
the price and details, and in many in
stances supply money to employees in
order that they might take advan.-
tage of the lew prices.
Following are the prices offered
per case, while the second column is
the parcel post rates:

w. e. FERRIS MAY
SUCCEED SMITH

w. E. Ferris, formerly manager Of
the N. o. G. N, railroad, may sue
coed R. X. Smith, federal manager,
who has resigned the position to take
effect on September l. There are
said to be three, or possibly four, ap-
plicants for the position and that Mr..
Ferris has excellent chances of be-
ing appointed.
In speaking of Mr.. Smiths retire
ment one of the best known en-
ployes of the road said:
"Mr. Smith expects to leave the
service of the Federal Railroad Ad-
mInIstraUlon as general manager or
these three properties about Septem-
Der 1st, and will be located at Nor
folk, Va. He will be employed as a
representative of large banking in
terests of New York. He was en-
ployed by the Mississippi Central
railroad for about twelve: years, and
has been general manager, under
federal control, of the New Orleans
Great Northern, Mississippi Central
and Gulf and Ship Island railroads
for about thirteen months. It is un-
necessary for me to tell you that his
administration has been successful,
and he leaves with the good wishes
of everyone connected with the three
properties"

ROGALUSA THIRD IN
STATE OF LOUISIANA

just what important part Boga-
lusa plays in the affairs of the state
and the fact that it is one of the lead
ing business cities of Louisiana has
again been proven. This time by the
secretary of state who in his report,
states that Bogalusa will rank third
in the return of money collected from
fire insurance, New Orleans being
first and Shreveport second. This
shows that Bogalusa ranks third of
any city in the state on the amount
of fire insurance.
According to the figures of the
secretary of state, Bogaiusa will re-
ceive something like $500.

SPECIAL SHOW FOR
NEXT WEDNESDAY

On Wednesday, August 81, you
will be given an opportunity to find
out how much real talent the call
dren of Bogalusa possess when they
will give an amateur performance at
the Magic City Theater.
There will be at least eight excel
lent numbers given by the children
under II years of age, including
singing, classic dancing, reading, etc.
In addition to the amateur program,
there will be presented Fannie Ward
in ''The Narrow PATH" a strong,
viriIe drama of American life -
story as old as the pyramids, yet one
which is ever new-of a woman's
trustfulness and her penalty; a drama
of the straight and narrow way lead
ing to happiness and of the broad
way leading to destruction.
You should see this show for two
very good reasons: It's one of the
best of the season, and for the bene-
fit of the Social Committee of the
Y. w. c. A. Tickets now on sale,
Is and 35 cents.

my friends who feel that have been
in office long enough, and feeling
the need of a change in work on ac-
count of my health, have decided
not to be a candidate for clerk of
court of this parish in the coming
democratic primary election.
l take this means of advising my
friends of this decision, because a
large number of them have expressed
a desire to have me enter the race
for reelection. | want to thank the
many friends who have supported me
in the past, and those who have ten
dered their support for the coming
campaign.
! want to also assure my friends
that / am not refraining from the
race in order to benefit any candi-
date or prospective candidate, and
hope that man will be elected to
the office who is able and viii fill
the office as efficiently and consci--
entiously as l have striven to fill it. /"
