Boys Take Articles
From Church Affair

Any kind of theft in Bogalusa is
unusual, but one was committed last
Sunday that should be investigated
by the police and the guilty parties
brought before the court-and it
would not require any great amount
Of detective work to do it.
Following the social given at the
armory last Saturday night eleven
cases of Coca Cola and number of
other articles which were not sold
were left in the Armory. Monday
morning when the ladies in charge
of the event went to get the articles
they discovered that all had been
taken. The proceeds of the social
were to be used to swell the fund for
the home of Reverend Father Maur.
Father Maur.
]. C. Mills manager of the local
plant of the Coca Cola company
stood part of the loss of the soft
drinks but the other articles which
were made by the ladies and valued
at several dollars were a total loss.

RENDERED HIS
RESIGNATION
Reported That He Will En-
gage in Banking Business
After September Sue
cessor Not Yet Appointed.

Citizens Urged to
Buy Winter Fuel

Unless the citizens Of Bogalusa be-
gin at once to lay in their supply of
winter fuel the situation is going to
be much more serious this coming
winter than it was last year and
those who were short of fuel last
winter will recall how unpleasant and
really serious the situation may be.
With shortage of coal reported
in every section of the country at
present and indications of tie-up of
the railroads, it may be that little
or no coal can be secured here. The
farmers have been so busy and pros
porous this summer that they have
given the stove and fireplace wood
little attention. Those who possibly
can should lay in their supply for the
winter at the earliest possible time.
Farmers will find a big demand in
Bogalusa now for wood and they can
bring it to town any time they come
with the assurance that they can dis
pose of it readily.

Unique Party for
Mayor S Birthday

Hon. w. H. Sullivan has had an
other birthday and is another year
younger. At least it would not ap-
pear that age was creeping up on the
founder and mayor of Bogalusa if
the fine good humor of the guest of
honor in own home on Saturday night
is to be taken as the thermometer of
age. To mention years would be out
of the question, but to mention
friends who were present would be
to take register of the mixing ca
pacity of the Sullivan home on South
Border Drive. The place was liter
ally full of people and the people
were full of best wishes for Mr. Sui
Ivan.
1t seemed that the mayor was des-
tined to have nice quiet birthday.
Saturday was as usual. Evening
found a few intimate friends gath
cred around the table as special
birthday guests, and the evening
meal was a happy one. Good eating,
good fellowship and best wishes
characterized a birthday that might
pass with any well-groomed business
man. Just passing event of no
particular consequence.
But that was not to be the case.
Dinner dishes no sooner scampered
from the board until other guests be-
gan to arrive, bearing unique pres
ents and proposing rood wishes.
Others came and more "crazy" pres
ents, and then came still others, I'M
til chairs were at a premium and
the standing room, and then gallery
room. Suddenly it dawned upon Mr..
Sullivan that no accident had hap
pened. Music was struck. Fine sing
ing, good acting, REGULAR run of
happy humor, and wealth of pres
ents that represented no elaborate
sum of money, but hearts full of fine
consideration characterized the even
ing.
Mr.. Sullivan received everything
from a little kitten to some fancy
wearing apparel and paraphernalia
for the golf club. Dressed in several
of the presents, Mr.. Sullivan posed
for a flashlight which he is showing
only to intimate friends.
Truly, Saturday might offered Mr.
Sullivan the browning opportunity to
lift from the depth of his inner con-
science that soulful saying: "This is
the happiest moment of nv life"
Until d late hour the guests, intox-
icated with the good humor of the
occasion, remained and reluctantly
left, but not before Mr.. Sullivan was
more than persuaded that Bogalusa
is the city Of his friends.

employees of the N. O.. G. N. railroad,
was severely jammed in the yards in
Bogalusa Monday night, and as q re-
suit is laid up in the hospital with the
upper joint of his right hip bone
broken.
Mr.. Reeve was coupling two ears
when some part of the brake failed
to work and in his effort to force
the connection waited a second too
long and was caught between the
cars. He is an experienced railroad
man and is congratulating himself
that the break is a high one, which
means that he will soon be back on

CHURCH CENTENARY

DR.. R. T. Chipperfeld got the sur
prise of his life last evening. Follow
ing the usual services at the Methodist
church, he was presented with purse
of money and INVITED by his congre-
CATION to use it on trip to Columbus,
Ohio, to take in the centenary exposi-
ton of the church.
j. L. Peterson. on behalf of the con-
gregation, made the presentation. In
making it, he advised the pastor to take
the money and leave for Columbus
just as soon as he could get ready and
stay as long as he wished!
The centenary exposition began June
20 and will last until July 49,. The
surprise was so complete that DR..
Chipperfield has not had time to make
plans for leaving at once. He expects,
however, to go within, few days, but
is uncertain as to how long he will stay.
The presentation of this purse to DR..
Chipperfeld was but small token of
the high esteem in which he is held
by his congregation, as well as the peo-
pie generally in this city, among whom
he is. now serving his second year as

DAILY MARKETS
AFTERNOON GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, June 21.-COrn showed sus-
tanned strength and further gains. Over
night shorts, local professionals and
commission houses bought on the more
promising outlook in the political stu
alton and the sharp advance in hog
prices. Volume of business was small,
however, and the advance was due
largely to absence OF selling pressure.
Oats trade was on small scale, with
prices firm on commission house buying
inspired by the strength in corn. The
advance brought selling by locals, but
there was little pressure Mt any time.
Receipts were liberal; estimated at i7j
cars. Cash market was weak to W
lower.
In provisions shorts covered and
there was scattered commission house
buying inspired by the advance in hogs
and the prospects that Germany would
sign peace treaty.
