the hopeful announcement made by
Rev. j. E. Brakefield, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, when asked
about that church's plan to raise
$685. in November for missions
and education. The campaign for
$75,0O0,000 all over the denomina-
ton will without doubt be great
success, even though Bogalusa Bap-
lists may be forced to limit their
contributions because of industrial
conditions.
DIR. George W. Mcdaniel, of Rich
mond, Va, will deliver an address on
the $75,00O,000. campaign on Sun

laid before his congregation it voted
to raise 100000.

Pretty Gowns Are Bait
Luring Child to Ruin

One OF the most sensational stories
revealing the methods of white slav-
ers was brought to light during re-
cent investigations in Chicago. It is
the story of Marie, a French girl,
the daughter of Breton stone ma
son. He was so infirm and so poor
that he was obliged to take her out
OF her convent school, when she was
only twelve years of age and send
her to work in Paris. There she be-
came a household drudge, scrub
blng and shaving from six in the
morning until eight at night.
No wonder she was flattered when
man spoke to her and invited her
to pastry shop. It was a wonder
fuI adventure for the tired little girl !:
and more wonderful still it was when
he introduced her to a friend. Mon
sleur Paret, who was engaging girls
TO go to America, where big wages
and an easy life awaited them. Paret
told Marie that she might join his
next group of girls to cross to the
land of plenty and, like them, wear
pretty gowns and have plenty of
money.
So Marie left Paris for America.
Paret escaped detection by the inn
migration authorities in New York
through a ruse and took the girls
directly to Chicago. Here they were
placed in disreputable house be-
longing to a man who had advanced
the money for their importation.
Her life in this place almost beg
gars description. The house, like a
host OF Others similar in character.
was prison for white slaves-girls
doomed to the most terrible expert
enee woman can undergo.
The court records show that
Marie earned two hundred and fifty
dollars a week-and that she turned
over every cent to her EMPLOYERS,
Nevertheless she was frequently
beaten numerically and forced to
do mental labor. She was closely
guarded and never allowed to leave
the house. To keep complete con-
troll over the wretcned girl, the pro-
prietor, as is customary with men of
his trade, always kept her hopelessly
In debt. First of all, she owed him
the money spent for her transport
O0kAOAs AAOA nS CAdCLGu GuOTnlOuS
sums for her clothes.
Another girl who was lured into |
the clutches of the white slavers was
Bettina. Her story is even more
tragic than that of little Marie-for
she was girl whose childhood had
been happy and clean, passed in the
atmosphere of a rural
home, and who knew nothing of the
sordid things in the world. It is a
story of deep pathos and pitiful
woven about traffic which
horrifies all decent citizens-when
they pause to think of it.
The story of Bettina is wildly
told in "My Little Sister," the Will
liam Fox photoplay made from Eliz-
abeth Robins novel of that name
This picture is announced for
at the Magic City
Theatre tonight, Thursday, Oct. 9th,
with Evelyn Nesbit as the star. Re-
port declares that Miss Nesbit never
mas done anything that is finer than
his. Also Sunshine comedy. 10c

Final Showdown
Nov" Williams

''The present dispute between the
policy of the Great Southern Lum-
Der Co. and union labor is now in its
final showdown" said L. E. Will
liams, president of the local fedora
ton, "and l am satisfied with the
progress that has been made since
our men have been called out. We
have only lost one man since the
close-down started, and everything
looks favorable to US. The meet
ing Monday night showed that the
merchants of Bogalusa would sup
port US as there were large num-
Der present who agreed to let our
men have the necessities of life if
they needed help"

ALL REPAIRS AT
C. S. L. ARE STOPPED

Announcement was made. by the
Great Southern Lumber Co. at noon
last Monday that the contemplated
repairs of the plant, which were to
have been extensive, have been
abandoned for the present. It was
the intention of the company when
the breakdown occurred to have
every department of the plant placed
in perfect condition while the en-
CINE, which closed down the plant,
was being repaired.

FUEL SHORTAGE
CLOSES PLANT

the fact that all pulp had been used

Bogalusa Paper Co. plant last Fri
day evening and no announcement

will resume operation. The wages
of common labor was reduced S
cents per hour the same day. but Of

the present time. There are vacant
houses, it is true, Some of them are not
for rent, but are offered to purchasers.
Others which may be rented cannot be
had for less than from SIS to $3.50 a
month. There are vacant apartments
also, a few of them. But the landlords
are asking $3.50 month for three rooms
and kitchenette in downtown build
ings. Such houses and such apartments
are beyond the means of the man earn
ing from $50 to $50 week. He must
live in house for which he pays from
$50 to $50 a month rent and just now it
is virtually impossible to find such
houses vacant.
The merit in Mr.. Ihlder's suggestion
lies in the fact that it would provide
houses built without anticipation of the
speculative profit for which the ordinary
building operator hopes. Similar hous-
ing corporations exist in other cities
and they earn a fair return on the money
invested, while at the same time provid-
ing shelter for families of moderate in

TEMPEST IN A COCKTAIL GLASS

NHE annual furry about the legality of
dancing where liquor is sold is
now on.
The season of balls at the fashionable
hotels is drawing to close and Director
Wilson, Of the Department of Public
Safety, has just announced that he must
enforce the ruling which prohibits dane
ing in any building in which there is a
bar for the sale of liquor.
The ruling was made in order to make
It possible for the police to close dis

il seems impossible to discriminate
among classes of liquor-seling establish

4 dition, but it is not worth while The
sale of liquor is to end in short time
and the whole thing seems much like a
tempest in a vanishing cocktail glass.

A HOUSING SUGGESTION

lnNE of the most practical suggestions
~ yet made for relieving the housing
Situation is that of Mr.. Ihlder, executive
secretary of the Philadelphia Housing
Association.
1t is that a company of public-spirited
capitalists be organized to build modest
tost houses for rent Mr.. Ihlder fixes
10000 houses as the minimum number to
be erected and he estimates the cost of
each house at $4,000.
There is an undoubted need for that
humber of houses of that character The
normal increase of population in peace
times has been provided for by the cree
tion each year of from 5000 to 1000 new
houses In 1916, 1852 were built. This
humber fell to 2700 in 1917 and in 1918
Il amounted to only 800, put up by pri.
gate builders and 1855 by the govern
ment for war workers, making a total
tor the year of 1864, or total for the
two years of 1854. If there had been no
Abnormal increase in population it would
have required 15,424 houses on the basis
\ of the 1916 building record to meet the
demands of the city. The actual number
'brected was 9070 below this. But there

selves, in their own little way, go head
long on the course that leads inevitably
to bitter retribution and regret.
These are days when men seem to fear
the truth as if it were pestlence--
though it is the only thing that can save
them and their world Truth is chal-
lenge to the Paris conference. 1t will
always be a challenge to all men. The
truth always reasserts itself. 1t will
always find men ready to suffer for it..
1t demands Justice, patience and charity
in all human relations. And until it is
recognized everywhere we shall have to
go on as we have gone before, and the
most awful of wars will be but flash
and an uproar in the long trayail that
men must endure before they can rid
themselves of their besetting devils.
And so all rational minds everywhere
are merely trying to find way to lead
mankind back to forgotten rule Of life
that might have given the earth peace
long ago if there had not been men of
power everywhere so poorly educated as
to feel that it could be evaded.
Truth-which is a sense of Justice
speaks in many languages. 1t has many
names, 1t has martyrs and champions
among the great and among the obscure.
1t always will have them because of the
command handed down through the CEN
turies by one Man. Men will go on as
they have gone from the beginning, to
follow and find it because it is the goal of
their existence. And if they were not
somehow divine they would have given
up the quest long ago because of its diff
cultcS and its matchless pain.
Wherever you find the passion for
spiritual truth translated into action,
transcending fear and selfshness and
deusions. fired by courage, showing un-
mistakably the clear evidences of i'm
mortality and riding down all that is
mean and ugly and evil, you will find the
full meaning of the marvellous sentence:

RECOGNITION FOR LENINE?

OUCH intercourse as the Allies may es-
~ tablish with Lenine cannot by any
means be interpreted as recognition of
Bolshevism. The Paris conference ap-
pears to be disposed to grant request
for food which emanates from the
chastened and partly sobered wing of the
ultra radical party in Russia.
Lenine and Trotsky have been drifting
apart. The theories of one are not the
theories of the other. Lenine has been
gradually cffecting reconciliation with
elements in his own country which
wear ago he abused and derided. He
found he couldn't get along without the
intelligence and industrial leadership of
the group which he antagonized at the
beginning and he has been tending grad
ually to a conservative course to save
the land from chaos and himself from
destruction.
Apostles of the red tie and violence
will find little to comfort them in such
terms as the Allies may make Lenine.
The Russian group that has been
pressing its overtures upon Paris does
not represent the raw and unthinkable
political doctrine of a year ago. Lenine's
group, after the first fever of their eX-
pertinent, have seen disaster looming.
They have been shifting gradually to a
way of thinking that ultimately may
resolve itself into an experiment with a
liberal socialistic form Of government.
Russia is due for years of instability
and trouble. To refuse food to the peo-
pie is to invite chaos in eastern Europe.
And if the Allies have had to compro-
mise in distasteful situation it is their
own fault. There seems to be no other
way to save the Allied expedition now
menaced in north Russia, where it never
should have been sent.
