Armistice Anniversary
Comes Next Tuesday

Next Tuesday, November IL, is the
first anniversary Of the signing Ok
the armistice Of the great world war
and the great celebration which had
been planned for the day by the eiti-
zens Of Bogalusa has been called off,
owing to local conditions which made
it impossible to raise a fund Of $1O,-
600 for the entertainment Of the ex-
service men and their friends.
Those who are back from service
cannot appreciate how wild Boga-
lusa went November IL last year.
The shrieking Of whistles started
shortly after o'clock and everyone
took a day off. A small group Of
railroad men, headed by G. ]. Jar
Wis, marched to the home Of Mayor
Sullivan where they aroused him
from his slumber and hardly gave
him time to take off his pajamas, let
alone permitting him to eat any
breakfast, and he was put at the
head Of the parade which started
down Fourth street. When the pa
rade reached North Bogalusa crowd
of several thousand were in line
waving American flags and beating
everything to make a noise. In front
Of the City Hall Mayor Sullivan,
Governor Sanders and others made
addresses and the remainder Of the
day was observed as genuine Holt
day. The celebration continued I'M
til after midnight by small parties.

Approve Action Of
Ex-Mayor CASSIDY

At the meeting of the Commission
Council held Tuesday night, Com
missioner E. R. Cassidy announced
that during the absence of the Mayor
from the city that he was requested
to add fifty extra policemen to the
force, who were to serve without
pay, and that he had complied with
the request. AT that time a quorum
Of the Commission Council could not
be had, owing to the fact that Com
mission ]. Z. Starns was out Of the
city. The action was requested fol-
lowing the shooting of workman
while returning home and the hold
up Of q citizen on Pleasant Hill.
Commissions Cassidy asked the ap-
prevail Of the Commission Council Of
his action. On motion az Commits
sioner Reagan, seconded By Commits
sioncr Wadsworth, his action vas
unanimously approved.
The extra policemen are still on
the force and viii remain until Bo-
galusa assumes its normal condition.

GET BUCK DEER

Bud and Dunk Easterling were
hosts at hunting party that broke
in the deer season last Saturday, the
other members Of the party coming
from Bogalusa and Rio. The chase
was staged in the swamps near Sun
and a fine day Of sport was enjoyed,
the result of which was one big buck
deer. Besides the deer much smaller
game was bagged, but there simply
is no chance of finding out what the
other game was, for the men will not
be switched from the joyful story Of
the big buck.

HALLOWEEN PARTY
GIVEN BY MRS. BOYD

One of the very enjoyable events
of the past week was the Halloween
party given at Mrs. E. Boyd's apart
ment on Austin street Friday night.
About forty guests were present.
The guests were received by the
ghosts, who with their slow walk and
icy hands showed them upstairs
where the hostess awaited them.
The living rooms and hall were
profuse with the colors, black and
yellow, cats, owls and pumpkins were
used to advantage, which gave occu-
lar proof that Halloween had ar
rived. Real pumpkins, used as Jack
o Lanterns, gave q ghost-like APP
pearance.
After the guests had arrived they
were invited downstairs, where the
witches cave" had been discovered,
and all anxiOusly awaited their for
tunes. Bobbing for apples and other
games were enjoyed.
Pumpkin pie Country style) was
served. Then the guests were in
vited into the dining room where pi-
mento sandwiches and punch were
served.
Dancing was enjoyed until a late
hour.

Great Southern
Starts Planning MIL

Several new developments relative
to the breakdown at the Great South
ern Lumber Company and the labor
situation has occurred since last week
and there is every indication that
within q few more days things in
Bogalusa, from an industrial stand
point, win look mucf. brighter. The
machinery which was sent to, the
steel mill ia September has arrived
and work viii start on placing it "a
position at an early date. The wins
tie blew at the plant Of the Crest
Southern last Monday and over one
bundled men reported for work.
About "a additional men reported
for york on Tuesday and on We'd
rlesday about gilmore were added ID
the payroll. Work on repairs st the
plant has been started and all ma.
chinery win be placed III perfect con-
dition before the mill is opened at
full capacity again.
The planning mill was started Nom
day. Only about 300 men viii be
employed at the Great Southern nm
til the entire plant is ready to opcr-
ate and the company announces that
they expect to have this number be-
fore the end Of the present week.
No effort viii be made to start
the plant Of the Bogalusa Paper CO.
at present, owing to the fact that
some important improvements are
being made. Unless there are some
unusual developments and an abund-
ance of labor the plant will not be-
gin operation before the first Of the
year.

Country Cows Take
Fancy to Our Parks

The beautiful parks and lawns
nave become so well known to the
cattle of Bogalusa that the word has
spread out into the rural districts
and il. now develops that the parks
and lawns, with their beautiful flow
ers and hedges, are not only pasture
for the home cows, but are receiving
considerable attention from stock
from the country. It is expected that
IN few weeks stock will be here
from Mississippi and the citizens who
have been keeping up the parks and
lawns for the home cattle should
plant few more in order to take
care Of the increasing stock business.
When the Pearl River bridge is built
it is thought that Bogalusa will hard
iy be able to supply sufficient pas
turage and flowers and hedges. The
cattle also have taken great fancy
to the new concrete sidewalks of the
city and use them so frequently that
it is almost impossible for the tax
payers to use them.
At a meeting of the Commission
Council Tuesday night the question
was discussed, but Mayor Sullivan
stated that he did not want to take
any action against the stock running
loose until provision was made SO
that owners of cows in the city
would have some place to pasture
heir stock. At the meeting in De-
sember some more discussion of the
stock question will likely come up
and those who are interested are re-
luested to attend.

Box Factory
Is An Assured Fact

Another large industry is assured
for Bogalusa, one which will give
employment to a large number Of
women as well as young men. This
announcement was made Monday on
the return Of Mayor William H. Sui
Ivan from an extended business trip
to Buffalo where he met with the
stockholders of the Great Southern
L6nber Company.
The new industry is to be paper
box factory and win be located in the
vicinity of the BogaIusa Paper Com
pany.
The product of the Bogalusa Paper
Company has been shipped to the
North and East where it was made
into boxes and efficiency experts.
have shown that the boxes could
easily be made here and sold in any
part of the country at a lower price
than the material could be shipped
from here and then reshinped to all
part of the country.
Mr.. Sullivan stated thai the plant
would be well under way bg this time
next year. He further announced
that the plan to building another
paper mill in Northwest Bogalusa
had not been abandoned, but on the
contrary, plans were being developed
and the mill would be built.

To Enlarge Plant Of
Bogalusa Paper Co.

The plant of the Bogalusa Paper
Company is to be greatly enlarged
and the capacity of the plant in.
creased SO to IS per cent. Plans fol-
the enlargement have already been
approved and at an early date work
viii start on erecting an. additional
building. The paper machine from
the plant of the Louisiana Fibre
Board Company will be moved to the
new building, which will give the Be-
galusa Paper Company a capacity Of
about 200 tons daily. The enlarge-
ment will give employment to a
greatly increased force and incident
ally make the plant of the Bogalusa
Paper Company by far the largest
mill of its kind south of the Ohio
river.

BAPTISTS SELECT
REV. DARLINGTON

At meeting of the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose, Of which
j. K. Johnson is the chairman, it was
agreed unanimously that the First
Baptist Church of Bogalusa would
extend the call to Rev. T. w. Talk
ington to become pastor in Bogalusa
for an indefinite period, DEFINING
January I, 1920. The CONGREGATION
had been consulted and the desire
for the Rev. Mr.. darlington seems
to be spontaneous.
Rev. T. w. darlington has been.
for the last three years, the state
secretary of the Young Peoples
Work Of the Baptist denomination in
Louisiana. His headquarters have
been in Shreveport, where he now
resides. In this office he has visited
practically every leading Baptist
Church in the state, serving the in
terests of the Sunday schools and the
B. Y. P. U. organizations. He was
in Bogalusa last year and held a.
Sunday school institute. At that time
he made the delightful impression
that caused the call to be issued.
Rev. j. E. Brakefield, the present
pastor, win assume his new duties as
professor Of Bible doctrine in the
Baptist College at Pineville, and will
move to that place before the first
of the year.

L N. McClendon, resident Of

seized with a severe illness Sunday

voked. He was hurried to the Boga-
lusa Hospital where an operation was
performed at once and his life saved.
At present he is seriously i'll, but his
recovery seems assu.ed.

GOOD ROADS

. A probe into the high cost of living
is going on. Everybody knows that
one reasons for high prices is the scare
ity of products. The American farmer
is growing more every year, and his.
products far exceed those of the agri-
culturist of any other country. But
he needs help in marketing them.
The good-road program now being
carried out in the United States is the
largest ever planned. Half of the sum
raised for this purpose is to be fur
nished by the state and the other half
will be supplied by the federal gov
eminent.
A countrywide system of good
roads will mean lower food prices Es-
pecially for perishable goods. Good
roads means quick marketing of COM
paratively small lots by motor or wag-
on, saving much food that otherwise
might spoil. In that manner good
roads work toward lower food prices.
Missouri claims to have collected
an immense sum of $2,400,000 for good
roads, but in most parts of the state it
is in the form of fund instead of
road. Marion County has just voted
down good-road bond issue A few
other counties have done likewise.
The people of Missouri are able to
lift the state from the mud of its high
ways to better rank than twenty
ninth in the good road movement. Mis-
souri, banks are bulging with money,
and practically every home has to its
credit a few liberty bonds. Why
doesn't Missouri climb higher in the
good road movement and at the same
time help to reduce the high prices of
food?

Wants Better Mail Service in
Columbia.

Editor the Missourian: When a
person living in town has to wait up
til l o'clock in the afternoon to re-
ceive his morning mail, certainly
something is wrong with the present
system of delivery.
One of two things is responsible for
this poor service. Either the post Of
flee authorities have not made ade-
quate preparations for handling the
increased amount of mail matter due
to the influx of students in Columbia,
or the mail carriers are loafing on the
job.
The writer is inclined to think that
the former reason is responsible for
the delay because before the students
began to arrive in town the mail was
delivered on time.
Of course people living on rural
routes car hardly expect to receive
their mail with any degree of regular
ity, but people living in town should
receive their morning mail when it
is due to arrive and not have it come
as an afternoon delivery.

THE EVENING MISSOURIAN
PRODUCTION AND ECONOMY

There are certain basic features OF
our economic life which must defy the
ages and remain as factors to be con-
sidered until the sun shall shine no
more Man may juggle terms as he
will, keeping the public confused with
a maze of complex and meaningless
terms in regard to the cause for high
prices, but he cannot alter a system
that was practiced when men were
mere savages.
In word, lack OF production and
lack of economy seem to be the roots
of the high cost of living. In olden
days when hard times seemed immi-
nent and there was a scarcity OF food
products and the necessary materials
to sustain life, man stinted himself
and bent every ounce of eXertion to
better his condition through an in
crease in the amount of the products
needed. True, he raised cry against
the profiteer who boarded too great
a share of the worldly goods, but ye
olden pioneer worked long hours and
saved diligently until fortune smiled
once more.
Why all this hue and whine against
the present order of things? Most of
us are sitting calmly at home folding
our hands and chanting the song of
hate against the userer. Work, pro-
duction, economy-these are the true
solutions of the problem. With a
greater abundance of goods and a les
sened demand, the hoarders will soon
come to terms.
Wbrk and save; don't sit and whine.

work and give teaching the benefit of

The late Prof Hugo Munsterberg of
Harvard drew attention to the condi-
ton which turned the most ambitious
and able men from teaching and caus-
ed the work to be entrusted more and
more to women. That situation was
bad enough, but now that so many in
iustries are opening to women teach
ing will tend to be left to women of
slight education and slighter initiative.
There is only one remedy and that
is to pay salaries equal to wages in
other kinds of work.
