when she asked him what he

her to rest her weight upon his

scarab, which he valued, should be
broken.
Thus we started, bearing the

the driver asleep, he sat her in it

and Commissioner of Finance E. R.

sent for the mayor.
In the meantime City Clerk Bean
was almost nervous wreck for fear
someone would tell Benedict Cassidy
the object of the meeting. After the
mayor arrived a fine chest Of ster-

sented to Mr.. Cassidy, the mayor
making the presentation speech.

So great was the secrecy Of the

after all it was for the best, because
we might have tried to explain just
how Mr.. Cassidy acted.

Baer Inspecting
Southern Mills

M. S. Baer of Baltimore, Md, vice
president Of r. P. Baer & Co., who
own and operate the hard wood mill
in North Bogalusa, came here Tues
day evening and will remain for sew
eral days in company with A. o.
Thayer, Southern manager for the
company which also have large mill
in Mobile, Ala.
Mr.. Baer has recently returned
from a European business trip dur
ing which he visited the commercial
centers of England, France, Belgium,
Germany and Sweden. Mr.. Baer is
close observer of conditions as they
exist and holds some very enlighten-
ing opinions on industrial and finan-
cial conditions in Europe. He said:
"a great deal of the talk of raw
ished Belgium is maudlin sentiment.
/ visited the commercial centers of
that country and found that far from
being destroyed by the German in
vasion, they were producing the COM
modities for which they are noted in
heretofore unknown quantities. Ger
many was untouched by the war, in
solar as the impairment of her in
dustries, and she is now working full
capacity. The Germans have this ad-
vantage = their mark monetary
unit) is very much deprecated and
they are not buying, but selling. A
25-pfennig piece, before the war
equivalent to cents in American
money, is now only worth / cent.
Money of the precious and semi-pre-
cious in Germany and Belgium has
disappeared and each state is issuing
paper currency.
France is well off financially.
The peasants of that country have
more money than ever beIore. The
millions of troops CHARTERED in
France for four years brought this
about. The American even paid rent
on the trenches in which they fought
and the billets in which they were
quartered."
On being asked what opinion the
French held Of the United States,
Americans and Presiden4 Wilson, Mr..
Baer said: "They look upon the
United States as great country, the
Americans as money-grabbers and
President Wilson az an idealist whose
ideas are not practical and cannot be
realized"
Mr.. Baer visited some of the ia
nous battlefields in France and Bel
GUM and declares that the conditions
under which the armies fought prove
conclusively that courage and brav-
cry Of the supremest sort were nee
essary for the struggle.
Messrs. Baer and Thayers are en-
thuiastic golfers and will spend many
hours at the Bogalusa Country Club
links. During his European trip Mr.
Baer visited Scotland where he
played on some of the famous links
of the home of golf.
