When the federal officer began to
search the premises he found a still
and several gallons Of liquor. Nc
Elveen was taken to FranklintOn and
later to New Orleans, where he will
be arraigned before Federal Commits
sioner Browne who will fix his bond.
For several weeks it has been
known that a still was operating in
that vicinity and federal authorities
made an investigation which pointed
to McElveen. It is stated that dur
ing the recent political campaign that
moonshine was pretty common IN
that part of the parish, while in other
sections it was hard to get.
This is the first raid that federal
authorities have made in Washing
ton parish, but it is likely that sew
eral investigations viii be made
which may possibly result in arrests.

Queen Of Sons"
Here April 18th

Mile. Alice Verlet, known in her
own beloved country as the Little
Belgian Queen of Song" loves Amer
lea and its people. But her thoughts
will wander back to her other homes.
Mile. Verlet was living in her lovely
little house near Brussels when the
war started. Of course, she was
obliged to flee and her home was
pretty well wrecked by the Germans.
Mile. Verlet's piano, her furniture,
her records, were all destroyed with
that peculiar efficiency the Germans
displayed in such cases.
But the house where she lived with
the Grand Opera Company in Paris
has very different kind of tenants.
After Mile. Verlet came to delight
America with her singing, her Paris
home was rented to some American
officers who, she knows, win treat
her cherished possessions with far
different spirit.
Mile. Verlet's concert in Boga-
lusa on April "a, is something to
look forward to, both for Bogalusa
and for the singer herself, for Mile.
Verlet loves the Americans and en-
joys singing for them.

Interest in Oil
Goes Merrily On

Bogalusa, Washington and adjoin-
ing parishes are taking considerable
interest in oil prospecs in this COM
munity and if the interest continues
for the next few months there is no
question that drilling operations will
be started.
Besides the big local companies,
there are some smaller ones taking
options in oil lands around the par
ish and interest in other communi-
ties has lead to inquiries concerning
prospects here.
The Gulf Land and Development
Company, a local concern composed
of leading business and professional
men, expects to have leases on half a
million acres within the next few
weeks, and when they have secured
all the leases they desire they viii
try and induce some big drilling con-
Germ to come here and start develop
ment work.

There only remain thirty days for
the horses and mules to roam the
streets of Bogalusa, to injure chill
dren and use the sidewalks and dam
age the property Of citizens. And the
bulls have the same length of time
in which to brighten the women and
children, because after the expira-
ton of time they must be kept up,
according to an ordinance which will
go into effect on or about May l..
The same ordinance will make it nee
essary for the owners of mich cows,
range cattle and young stock to keep
such animals up at night. An effort
will be made to keep the cows from
the principal business streets during
the day by the city employing men
to drive them back. That was the
substance of what vas accomplished
by the Commission Council when the
stock ordinance came up for hear
ing Tuesday night.

WILL MAKE TRIP
TO INSPECT WELLS

Two bids for wells were opened
at the meeting of the Commission
Council Tuesday night, being Of diff
ferent types and supplying different
amounts of water. One bid was for
$4,000 and the other for $4,000
Charles Webster, chairman of the
citizens committee, recommended
that a committee be sent to West
Louisiana or East Texas to investi-
gate the two types before deciding
upon the bids, as the highest priced
one might prove the cheaper of the
two propositions.
A committee composed of Mr..
Webster, D. M. Wadsworth and w.
S. Hanley were appointed and they
win make the trip at an early date.

ALL PAVING BIDS ARE REJECTED;
NEW PLANS TO BE ADVERTISED

mitted run considerably high than
that amolnt.
Commissioner Cassidy thought that
before any final action was taken,
that property owners should be noti-
fled of this fact.
Commissioner Lindsey expressed
the opinion that the expense of the
committee was eating up money, and
if it continued there would soon be
nothing left with which to build the
streets.
w. s. Hanley, of the citizens COM
mittee, stated that in his opinion a
mistake would be made if plans and
specifications were not made COM
pIete and that it would be best to re-
advertise. The bidders were asked
if they would permit their bids to
lay over.
One bidder stated that if the city
wanted the penetration type that the
city would save money by readvertis-
ing.
Mr.. Fox, representing the Barbour
Asphalt Company, asked the council
if the citizens committee would go
and inspect types of asphalt paving.
Commissioner Lindsey stated they
would if the Barbour company would
defray the4E expenses, whereupon
Mr.. Fox asked if the Tarvia people
paid the expenses of investigating
their payment on two trips.
All the bids were finally rejected.

Interesting Timber
Decision Is Given

An interesting decision was hand
ed down by Judge P. B. Carter in
the District Court last Monday in
the case of Hampton Realty Co. VS..
]. D. Kerr. Evidence in the suit
showed that about twenty years ago
the timber on a certain Greenlaw
tract was sold and later acquired by
]. D. Kerr. Afterwards the land was
sold to the Hampton company. The
Kerr company has been engaged in
taking off the timber, pine knots,
pulp wood, etc, and were enjoined
by the Hampton company.
The decision was in favor of J. D.
Kerr and gave $1,000 damages and
$3.50 additional for attorney fees.
The decision means that timber on
property includes all timber and not
just trees which can be used for saw
ing into timber.

Have You Planted
Your Garden?

If you are interested in reducing
the cost of living, not only to your
family, but to all the citizens of Bo-
galusa and the United States, there
are three things you can do.
One is to produce everything you
can, whether it be at work or after
working hours; save everything you
can, and then plant a garden.
The latter plan is the most direct
way Of reducing the cost Of living in
your family, because it will cost you
practically nothing, except few
hours work in the evening or early
in the morning to plant and cult
vate good garden.
The next two weeks will be the
ideal time to start your garden, as
you will then be taking no chances of
having cold weather damage your
crop. Potatoes, beans, cabbage and
other vegetables should be planted
and the Great Southern Lumber Co.
expects to be ready to plOw your
garden for you within the next few
days. The company also announces
that it will cooperate with the en-
ployes of the Great Southern and the
Bogalusa Paper Company as well as
the citizens of Bogalusa, as they did
during the war to encourage the
planting of gardens.
This means that they expect to
have plants of various kinds to give
away and if you do not reduce the
cost of living at your home during
the summer months by planting a
garden, you will have to pay fancy
prices for vegetables, as there will
Be little for sale.

The paving of streets in certain
sections of Bogalusa will not be
started for several weeks, owing to
the fact that it was deemed to the
best interests of the city to reject all
bids and readvertise the work. It
was also decided that the city would
entertain bids for various kinds of
paving, but there was every indica-
ton that the penetration process is
wanted.
There being no complete specified
tons and profiles Of the proposed
work, it was decided to refer the
matter back to the citizens commit
tee for suggestions as to whether or
not to employ an expert in paving
work.
Commissioner Lindsey brought
out considerable discussion and ex-
PLANTATION when asked why bids had
been,asked when plans were not COM
plete. It was also announced by
Mayor Sullivan that all the money
could not be spent for paving the
streets, that other streets in the city,
not Included in the sections recon-
mended for paving, required atten-
ton and the various discussions con-
tinued until almost midnight.
1t developed that when the petit
ton was being circulated among tax
payers that property owners were
told that the paving would cost about
50 per square yard. All bids sub

HORSES, MULES AND BULLS MUST
STAY OFF STREETS OF BOGALUSA

About 200 citizens attended the
meeting and, as usual, those who did
not own a mich COW had more pro-
tests to offer on keeping them up
than did the owners.
Many humorous arguments were
presented and many citizens who
have heretofore appeared before the
council, asking that stock be kept up,
did not appear Tuesday night to state
their case. Only two persons gave
their opinion why stock should be
kept up.
Mayor Sullivan stated that he did
not want a stock ordinance passed
that would result in hardship upon
any citizen and that it was not his
desire to have a stock ordinance
passed to go into effect at once.
It is believed the new regulations
viii work to such a splendid advan-
tage that next year it will result in
all stock being kept up at all times.
