New Road Would
Be Credit to CITY

If anyone is under the impression
that the new road which is being
built between this city and Franklin
ton, of which six miles are completed,
would take the time to drive over
the highway, they viii find that there
is no better gravel road anywhere and
that if this road was street in Bo-
galusa, we would all certainly feel
proud of it," said one Of Bogalusa's
most prominent citizens.
An expert engineer, not interested
in the parish road, inspected the work
that has been completed and pro-
nounced it among the best being built
anywhere IN the South, and when this
road is completed it will be one Of
the model highways Of the country.
When the road is completed and
accepted and the taxpayers Of Wash
ington parish realize what good roads
mean, they will not be content until
every road in the parish is made mod
ern.
When the bridge is built across
Pearl river Washington parish will
be the principal route Of tourists
from the North and South and will
attract hundreds monthly to the gulf
coast from this section.

Important Event
For Men Only

Something out or the ordinary for
the men of Bogalusa will start to-
morrow at the Bogalusa Stores when
Lamm and Co., recognized as Amer
ica's largest and finest tailors, win
have one of their expert tailors to
accompany their salesman an take
the measurement of the men of
Bogalusa who want perfect fitting
Clothes This is the first time that
Lamm and Co., have ever sent one
of their tailors with a salesman and
this was secured only by a visit of
Manager Wilson to Chicago. Mr..
Wilson stated that never in his ex-
perience had he seen clothes finished
and tailored anything like the work
turned out by Lamm and Co., and
that the fall display of imported and
domestic woolens was unquestion-
ably the finest showing in America.
The tailor who comes here to take
the measurements will return to Chi
cago and make clothes so you are not
only guaranteed perfect fit but you
can rest certain that it will fit
better than any suit you ever had
and that it will be elegantly finish
ed and tailored in the correct styles
of the hour. The service which the
men of BOgalusa are going to get
costs nothing extra and you will find
the prices far lower than you would
expect to pay for such clothes. Mr..
Wilson extends a most cordial invi-
tation to every man in Bogalusa to
inspect the display of patterns to-
morrow, Friday Sept. 18th and Sat
urday Sept. 18th.

Bogalusa to Get
Troop of Calvary

A troop of cavalry is being organ
lied in Bogalusa this week, with a
complement Of fifty men, including
three officers and fourteen non-coms.
Percy w. Lindsey, formerly a first
lieutenant in the A. e. F., and adju-
tant of the local post Of the Ameri-
can Legion, has been been appointed
commander Of the new organization.
The troop is the outgrowth of cid
Company G that rendered such good
service in the world war, and it is
expected a gOOdly portion of the
former members of the old company
will serve in the new outfit.
General L. A. Toombs, adjutant
general of the Louisiana National
Guard, arrived in the city last Thurs
day and conferred with Majors Lee
Blanc and Guerre, former command
ers of Company @, and Captain
Lindsey. The party inspected the
ArmOry building, which will be
turned over to the new outfit. GEN
eral Toombs was well pleased with
the quarters. Stables will be erected
in the rear Of the building to shelter
the thirty-tWo government horses
that will be sent here within the next
month. The animals viii be kept at
the governments expense and sew
eral men employed to care for them.
A rifle range will also be installed
within a few months.
Only two troops Of cavalry we're
allotted to the state, one gong to
Jennings and the other coming here.
Captain Lindsey is accepting able
bodied men for enlisted between the
ages Of Is and As. Ex-service men
are preferred, but lack Of military
experience is no disadvantage. Uni-
forms and equipment viii be furnish
ed free by the government and the
mer will receive regular army pay
for each nights drill.

not only by the ex-soldier who longs
for the opportunity to grasp a

younger chaps who didn't have an
opportunity of serving in the world
war.

concerning the new organization may
obtain it from P. w. Lindsey in the
Washington Bank and Trust Com
pany building.

Bogalusa' S Schools
Are Most Modern

From the standpoint of the mar
ents, the teachers and of the children
themselves, Bogalusa's educational
Iacllltles are as much as could be de-
sired. With the city's school sys-
sen now funetioning properly, it is
round that children actually like TO
90 % school here, New schools and
good teachers are the forces prin-
clPaliy responsible for the enjoyment
enilofen here get out Of their studies,
rominent educators agree that
senoollng is most beneficial when IT,
Is really enjoyable to the youngster,
and thus students here will probably
get better education than they will
elsewhere.
Lhe Bogalusa school system is
probably the finest of any eommun-
lty Of this size in the South. When
the handsome new brick High School
is complete there will be nine school
buildings IN the city-five of them
opening for the first time this year,
and all are modernly equipped with
the idea Of providing greatest COM
fort Tor the pupils.
4he faculty of the local schools
consists Of sixty-nine teachers, who
have been carefully selected for the
work, The teaching staff of Boga-
lusa IS considered one of the best in
this section of the country. Boga-
lusa teachers, too, work under better
conditions and receive better salaries
than ordinarily paid. For this rea-
son they are more inclined to put
their whole hearts into the work, and
the children benefit by it.
ne annual payroll for teachers in
Bogalusa runs over $4,000. When
the new High School is completed,
the amount will go above this sum.
Altogether, Bogalusa has a school
system it has reason to be proud of.
And municipal plans are to keep on
increasing school facilities as the
need arises so that the city may also
lead other communities Of this size
~ educational advantages.

Interest Increases
in Big Revival

The Andrews revival meeting at
the Armory is surprising all expectg-
tions. Sunday night witnessed the
greatest crowd that ever attended a
preaching service in Bogalusa, and
the evangelist delivered one Of the
greatest sermons ever heard here.
The end of the first week Of the
meeting was entirely satisfactory to
the officials of the First Methodist
Church, under whose auspices the
meeting is being held
Rev. Andrews has been preaching
straight from the shoulders to the
Christian members Of the congrega-
ton up to Monday night, when he
made his first request of the audience
and there was a response of about
fifty requests for prayer. From now
on he will pay his attention to the
unconverted, preaching sermons on
the method and results of CONVEX
sion. Each night the congregation
has shown growth, and with the cleo
trio fans, the Armory is about as
comfortable as any other place in Be-
galusa.
At the present rate, the crowd by
Sunday will be greater than the pos
sible standing room Of the Armory.
The officers Of the church have pro-
vided folding chairs, SO that about
one thousand people may be seated
comfortably.
The meeting will continue through
next week. The singing feature viii
be increased and more and more the
soloists win appear in special num-
bers.
