WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Secretary
of Commerce Redfield today an
nounced that he had resigned and ex-
pected to quit his post the latter part
Of October.
Personal affairs require my atten-
ton" said Redfield. August /, wrote

offered to remain two weeks longer"
Redfield told the president he
wished to finish the census organiza-

he was miffed because his pet plans"
had not been adopted.
He said there has been no quarrel
VI disagreement Of any kind. Redfield
said he will enter business again. He
has not determined just what this busi-
ness will be.
Bernard NJ. Baruch, chairman of the
war industry board during the war, is
mentioned in some quarters as pos
sible successor to Redfield, although
1t is said Baruch has refused other OF
fers of official positions.
Reports Of Redfield's alleged dis
satisfaction turned about the fact
that the war trade board had been a
part of the state department instead
of the commerce department.
1t was rumored Redfield felt his
reconstruction plans were being DIS
regarded when Rail Director Hines
refused to buy rails at the price SCI
by a board selected by Redfield.
Following this, the industrial boart
which set the prices dissolved, and
the next day Attorney General Pai
mer declared it's operations were
illegal under the Sherman act.

resigned once before, when the wa
trade board was created. and that tn
president refused to accept the resig'
nation on request of Vance McCor'
mick. chairman of the board, and al
that time national democratic chair
man.

Exorbitant Price Of Food Is Blamed
in Part to Packers by Sec
rotary of Consumers
League.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.] ]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Attribut-
ing the "exorbitant price of food to
the packers in part" Mrs. Florence
Kelley, secretary Of the National Con-
sumers' league, today appeared be-
fore the senate agriculture commit
tee in support Of the Kenyon packer
regulation bill.
'For instance, we learn that the
Armour company is now producing
rolled oats" Mrs. Kelley said. Does
any person believe it Is in the end
cheaper for oatmeal to travel from
Chicago to Maine than it is to eat
Maine oats there as my grandmother
did?'
Mrs. Kelley told the committee that
centralized producers had made vir
tually extinct the Rhode Island meal
industry.
Fear that one provision of the Ken
yon bill would result in government
licensing of all newspapers was eX
pressed by Ward A. Neff, Chicago
vice president Of the Corn Belt Farm
dailies.
He cited the clause which provide!
that no person shall carry on thu
business of collecting information il
connection with q stock yard and dis
tributing in commerce livestock mar
ket quotations or livestock marke
news without license from tn
secretary Of agriculture,
"The languages Of this clause Is yer:
broad, Neff said, "and we have NJ
doubt that the courts might take tn
view that it applies to all newspaper
carrying livestock market reports
Adoption of this principle would be a
least a step toward the licensing of al
newspapers. This, we consider mos
Objectionable"
Neff explained that Senator kenyon
might have had in mind licensing o
only papers published at stockyard
but added that this would be unfa1
discrimination

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The SEN

today.
The foreign relations committee

port on 1t written, Senator Lodge VIII

cupy some days and the actual conslo'

Adoption OF these reservations late
Yesterday in two hour committee
session. broke down the lines which
had formed on other questions, When
Senator Shields, democrat, voted win
the republican majority in favor OF the
reservations and expressed sympathy
with the purpose of the four reserva-
tions. Senator McCumber, republican,
who has steadfastly refused to join MS
party colleagues in amending tne
treaty textually, also voted for two Oh
the reservations and expressed the be-
lief that without reservations the
treaty must fail. The real battle from
now on. it is conceded by both sides,
will center on the reservations. The
report of the majority committee will
be voluminous.
Following submission of the major
ity report, Senator Hitchcock, ranking
democrat Of the committee, will pre-
sent a minority report in which he w"
repeat arguments the administration
has made against amendments or
reservations which will force resub,

ON THIRD STREET

Occupying prominent position
among the successful merchants Of
Bogalusa, and one who is deserving
of much credit because Of the splen-
did success achieved in the past few
years is C. J. Blanchard, who con-
ducts a first-class grocery establish
ment on Third street, near Columbia
Road. Mr.. Blanchard was born and
reared in Louisiana and came to Boz
galusa seven years ago. A few years
after locating here, or in 1914, he es-
tablished a grocery store in the south
end of town. For the first year or
two only a small patronage was ac-
corded the Blanchard store, but BY
close attention to business and an
earnest effort to please everyone the
business was soon on the road to sue
cess, and many of the most particu-
lar people of this end of town bought
their supplies at this store.
AS the business grew and develop
ed it became necessary to seek larger
and more spacious quarters, and in
order to better serve the trade Mr..
Blanchard took up the present loea-
ton March i, 1918, and has been
located there since.
The present store is one that is
worrnN of special mention because it
is well stocked with all kinds of gro
ceries, both fancy and staple, as well
as fruits and vegetables in season.
Mr.. Blanchard pays the highest cash
price for country produce and offers
for sale vegetables, poultry, ETC., at
a reasonable price. The patrons Of
this store are always assured of a
fresh supply Of the best country pro-
duce, cured meats, ETC., direct from
the farm.
Mr.. Blanchard has developed a
very successful trade and numbers
among his patrons some of the best
people in that part of town. He
has installed one of the latest model
coffee roasters and offers his trade
fresh roasted coffes every day. All
phone orders are promptly and care
fully filled and deliveries made di-
rect to the homes.

POPULAR CITIZEN

The thriving little town of Angie,
in this parish, has been the home of
DIR. T. S. Conerly the past six years,
although he has resided in this vicin-
ity since 1889. A Mississippian by
birth and receiving his early school
ing in that state, he moved to Louisi-
ana where he completed his educa-
ton, graduating from Tulane Uni
versity in 1893, securing his degree
Of M. D. in that year.
In addition to the practice of med
icine, he is president of the Board
of Health, also mayor of Angie, with
a penchant for farming, of which he
has considerably more than passing
knowledge, being the owner Of sew
eral large tracts near town. A part
Of this land is heavily timbered, both
pine and hardwood, some of it adapt
ed to the raising of stock. Prospec-
tive settlers in this section of the
parish could secure valuable advice
regarding crops that show best re-
suits and where to locate to advan-
tage by consulting DR.. Conerly.
He believes that anything grown
in the South can be raised in the Vi
entity Of Angie, and that this section
is especially well adapted to DIVERSE
fled farming.
The health conditions have been
better than the average, with mortal
ity the lowest in this part of the
state. Convinced of the many adj
vantages this vicinity offers, DR..
Conerly may be depended on to as
sist in any movement that has as its
object the betterment of conditions
good roads or the health Of the COM
munity.
