PRICESMUST GRAD LTlNE

The following is from the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States Of America and will be of inter-
est to everyone in Washington Parish because it pre-
diets the condition for the next few months:
"The dominant CHEEKY note in the story of gen
eral conditions today is the calm and collected
ner in which the business world views the uncertain
future which lies before In every section of the
Union no mater what the local conditions there pre-
walls that common sense and courage which are the
most characteristic traits and hertagts of the nation
The general attitude is expressed in the homey state
ments of a retail dealer in the West that Everybody
is sitting tight and no one is rocking the boat" At
the same time there is a full and complete reaza-
ton of the difficulties obstacles and uncertainties
which cloud the likelihoods of the next six months
and full consciousness of how thoroughly the flu
ture depends upon our action today.
I'm the beginning there is widespread feeling
that there must be such readjustment of prices as
will bring them to lower level and thus the
stabzing of prices and of purchasing. The general
desire is not for radical reductions, but rather for
such gradual declines as conditions may warrant.
Commingled with this is the knowledge that wages
and salaries have much to do with the cost of COM
modities today and nothing is further from the gen.
eral thought than that there should be substantial re-
duction in the incomes and purchasing power of the
many but rather that a realignment of this nature
shall assume the form of readjusment in the decline
of such wages and salaries as are not warranted
der the changed situation.

Drive to Continue
For Next Few DAYS


The drive to raise $4,000 for the
Jewish Relief Fund in Bogalusa will
be continued for the remainder of
the week, owing to the fact that sey-
eral of the captains of various teams
have been confined to their rooms for
the past week with influenza, and
j. B. Lindsey, exalted ruler of thu
Elks (who have pledged to raise the
amount), was forced to spend all Of
his time out of the city.
H. j. Cowgirl, acting chairman, re-
ports that good progress was made
last week despite the fact that many
of the best workers could not assist,
but that the fund is still several hun-
dred dollars short. There is no DOUBT
about the amount being raised when
the committee can all get to wor'.-
Starting today and continuing for
the remainder of the week canvass
will be made in the business and man
ufacturing sections Of the city.

Remarkable Picture Il
'Old Wives for New

One Of the most remarkable pic
lures Of contemporaneous Americas
life, embracing the divorce question
and the more intimate phases of mar
ital relations is old Wives for
New" produced by Cecil B. De Mile
from the novel Of David Graham Phil
lips, with the scenario by Jeanne Mac
pherson. It is an Aircraft picture
and win be shown at the Magic City
Theater next Tuesday, January n.
This is in every way a superIativc
motion picture offering, one that
cannot fail Of its appeal because Of
the vital theme and the mastery
manner in which it has been handled
Briefly, it takes up the lives of man
and woman who marry young in the
heat of youthful passion, and who rue
it later when the woman becomes
slovenly and obese, while the man
gains rather than loses in every way.
They are wealthy, but this cannot
stay the march of events, and in the
end it results in divorce. Another
woman, really noble in all her in
stincts, enters the life of the man,
nurses him back to life when he is
injured to the point of death in 3
railway accident, and to save whon1
he takes up with another woman for
whom he feels no love.
In the end she finds him and COM
nels him to accept her, despite the
fact that, in his desire to save her
reputation, he tries to resist the love
that viii not be; denied. The lives of
others enter into the story, which
searches the very souls Of the char
acters involved, keenly, incisively,
and betrays the unrest that gnaws at
the heart of American social condf-
tions like a worm at the bud.
Wonderful work has been done in.
the direction and the scenario, while
the acting of the characters is spIen-
didly accomplished by such wen

Elliott Dexter, Tully Marshall, Flor
ence Vidor, Sylvia Ashton, Helen Js-

Another Election
IsNot Required

J. R. Leslie, president Of the police
Jury of Washington parish, was in
BOgalusa Monday and stated that at
a meeting of the police jury, held
last Saturday, representatives Of seq
eral bonding companies were in It
tendance and stated that they would
purchase the half a million dollars
worth Of good road bonds, regardless
of the alleged technical error.
"The fact that one bonding reprs-
sentative stated that there was a
technical error in the election does
not mean that it will interfere with
the sale of the bonds" said citizen
interested in good roads.
Other bonding companies are will
ing to buy them, and if they pay
what is considered a good price for
the bonds they will be sold as adveE-
tised the early part of next month.
There is every indication that the
bonds will bring very near par. The
sale viii be open to competitive bid
ding and the police jury reserves the
RICH to reject any or all bids. Mr.
Leslie is of the opinion that the
bonds win bring par and that the
money with which to start the roads
