POLLEN SCARCE,
BEES SUFFERING

Bees have sbeefv having a hard time,
This spring because Of cold and cloudy
weather. Little or no pollen has been
carried into the hives since the bees
were removed from the cellar, says
g. G. Mathews of the bee culture divi-
sion at University Farm, and, the old
supply being exhausted, the colonies
are dwindling. Bees cannot rear young
IN numbers until they can carry pollen
freely. This means" continues Mr..
Matthews, "the old bees become worn
out and die before young ones appear
to take their places. Undue loss of
odd bees may be presented by protec-
zion against wind, by wrapping the
comb of bees in newspapers and keep
ing warm water close to the hives"

says that, those. who have the moral
courage to make their old clothes do
are setting the right example. Many
are doing it, and, oddly enough, most
of them are people who could better
afford to pay the prevailing high pric-
es than most of those who pay them
more or less eagerly. ~
But in the main the trouble is that
this is the SORT of thing everybody
strongly favors having somebody else
do. And, Judging from condolences
we have heard, more mem would be

EskIMos PROGRESSING.

It is a matter of governmental
recognition that the Eskimo In
dians of the Pribilof islands are
rapidly gaining in sophistication, as
the prices Of the sealskins and blue
and gray fox pelts they sell mount
higher and higher. Those bits OF
frozen land in Bering sea, whose
total area is less than seventy square
miles, have only about $50 inhabl-
tants, yet they are being assailed by
all the aspirations of prosperity,
and are beginning to buy the most
interesting items the mail-order
catalogue offers. SO United States
engineers are building them igloos
of concrete, says Popular Mechan'
les Magazine, thus substituting the
most substantial Of materials for
what seems, from the temperate
zone viewpoint, the most ephemeral.
The builders, however, are careful
to adhere closely to the native style
of architecture.

Tent Shows Come
In For Spanking

Circuses and tent shows got an
awful banning at the Commission
Council Tuesday night. Short change
artists with the circus here a few
weeks ago and the "girl show" which
made an indefinite run on Pleasant
Hill were responsible for the attack.
The tent shows have been coming
frequently into Bogalusa and doing
q big business, and leaving very little
money, which has awakened the mer-
chants to the fact that something is
needed besides a high license.
City Attorney Talley Is looking up
the law governing such matters and
expects to devise some plan that will
keep Bogalusa free from immoral
shows as well as shows which carry
questionable characters, and it is be-
lieved that when he completes his
task, It will be pretty hard for any
tent show to operate in the city with
out the approval Of the Commission
Council.

EXTRA RICH GRAVEL
DEPOSIT is FOUND

What is believed to be one Of the
richest deposits of gravel in this sec
ton of Louisiana or Mississippi, has
been found in Bogalusa on properly
belonging to the Great Southern
Lumber Company, and is located be-
tween the cemetery and CorbIn,s
Greek, about one hundred yards
back Of Louisiana avenue. Machln-
cry has been installed by h j. Cow
gill an a test is being made, which 50
far has proven that the gravel is un-
usually fine.
Coming just at this time, when Boz
1alusa is preparing to use thousands
of cubic yards of gravel, it viii mean
great saving to the city, as washed
gravel can be delivered here for what
the cost would be at other pits, not
to mention the freight charges and
the loading and unloading.
The tract of land which is to be de-
veloued consists of about forty acres
and will more than supply the de-
nand for contemplated improve
ments. Within q few days Mr.. Cow
Gill expects to have a larger machine
and be able to supply gravel Tor the
street work in any amount desired:
The nit is located on the banks OF
| Corbin's creek, which makes the oper-
alton of washing the gravel practl-
cally nothing. The deeper the sue
ton goes, the better is the grade OF
gravel, and unless the 1ormatlon
shows weakness in few days, boga-
lusa will have one of the finest
gravel pits to be found anywhere

Work to Start On
Streets At Once

Work on gravelling the streets Of
Bogalusa is to start at once. The con-
tract of II. J. Cowgirl, for the washed
gravel, was accepted by the Commits
sion Council Tuesday night, Mr. Cow
gilFs bid being about 81 per yard less
than the other bidder.
It was estimated the city could do
the construction work for about $780,
600, and the lowest bid for the work
was around $50, 900, so the city street
department will construct the roads.
Engineer Willis is expected to have
his crews organized and working on
the streets within a few days, and If
good weather continues, great prog
ress viii be made this fall.
The present plans are to work on
the side streets first, owing to legal
teehnicalities, however, the loop
street, win receive immediate atten-
ton.

FIRE PREVENTION
DAY is SATURDAY

Mayor Sullivan has issued q procla-
nation urging the citizens OF Boga-
lusa to. cooperate in the prevention
of fire. Next Saturday, October 8,
viii be observed as Fire Prevention
Day throughout the state and every
citizen is urged to. clean his prem
ises, which is considered one Of the
greatest fire hazards.
Not only will the danger Of fire
be eliminated toaa great extent by
the cleanup Of the premises, but it
will make the city more attractive
and insure better health. Make it
your duty on next Saturday not only
to clean up your back yard, but in
vestigate conditions in your servants
quarters, the garage, the storeroom
and the outbuildings Of every kind.
Then investigate your flues, because
most any day now you may find It
necessary to build a fire, and after
months Of idleness you may find the
flues in q dangerous condition. Inc
Old axiom, San ounce Of prevention
Is worth q pound Of cure" was never
more applicable than on this ocea-
sion. Homes are about the seercest
article in Bogalusa and Il your home
should burn, you win find It mighty
hard to get another.
Better make q memorandum 70 go
ali over your property next saEuE-
day.
