letiC Park was filled with spectators,

the City Athletic Park. the grand
stand being about the same size, and
the park about one-hah again as
large. A bandstand is erected just
above the lobby. Music was furnished
BY the Colored Jazz Band, and that
they were good was emphasized By
the shaking Of shoulders and stamp
ing Of feet and applause Of the spec
tators.

coIored schools maze a two-minute
speech to his people, telling them Of
the gift park and how they could
show their appreciation Of it.

sumed q bottle Of Coca Cola, the
teams Of the Great Southern Lumber
Company and the Bogalusa Paper
Company took the field. Mayor Cas-
sidy, after throwing the first ball
about ten feet TO the right Of the
plate, fearing the first batsman would

the diamond and the first ball game
ia the new park was on.
The game was beyond doubt the

Boys Open League
With Good Games

The Junior Baseball League ouen-
ed at Athletic Park Saturday morn
ing with doubleheader. The first
game between the Pleasant Hill and
Columbia Road boys was a fast
seven-inning contest where the hit
ting Of Bonney for the Pleasant Hill
crew counted for naught and the
Columbia Road team won by score
of 2 to 1.
The second game, between the Bo-
galusa Boy Scouts and Franklinton,
La, was even better than the first
contest, and in spite Of the seven
scores made by the Scouts to the one
for Franklinton, they were unable to
get single hit off Of B. Brock, their
tallys being made through errors.
Young and Lee starred 4or the
Scouts, and as battery are in
class by themselves.

crowd would make mighty good
cooks. After losing Saturdays con-
test to the Bears" to the tune Of
14-6, they had the nerve to play the
2. y. u, who have not won a game
since the season opened, but were
hunting blood, and from the looks Of
the la score, they drew the claret.
Underwood, the Great Southern
pitcher performed his usual days
work by striking out 13 men, assist
ing First Baseman Leblanc to dis
pose Of four and beating Tom Sim
mons to first on a bunt in the sixth.
The saWmiH crowd played better than
ever before and the record ef errors
is small compared with the usual
game they have been playing.
Zachary put himself in Blacks
class when he started in to steal
everything on the diamond in the
first inning.
The playing Of lobe Smith, Tom
and Arnold Simmons on the N. o. G.
N. is especially noteworthy. Smith
and Tom Simmons hit the BAH every-
time up to the plate, and Arnold SIM
mons, playing both third and short
stop positions at times, showed him.

men in the league.

Don't Stay Run Down

If you have been indiscreet in eat.
ing, living habits, or your system taxed
by overwork, and you have become all
run down, don't stay that way, 1t IS
dangerous, as you are in condition to
take on many other more serious dis
eases. Build yourself up again by SIM
ply taking from 10 to 20 drops OF SEW
EN- BARKS in little water after each
meal, and watch how quickly you Will
regain your normal health again.
People beyond the age of middle life
cannot stand what they used to, and
have to be more discreet in all of their
modes of living The majority OF such
people need to take occasionally good
stomach and liver regulator, for 1T is
an indisputable fact that by keeping
the liver active and the digestive or
gans cleansed and in proper working
order, old age can be deferred and life
prolonged far beyond that enjoyed by
the average person. To attain this
there is no better remedy than SEVEN
BARKS, which has for many, many
years faithfully and successfully served
the public.
If your system gets run down, take
warning, or you viii be sorry when it's
too late. Take plenty of exercise, fresh
air, keep good hours, eat moderately
of the right kind of food, and tone up
your stomach, liver and kidneys by
taking SEVEN BARKS. For sale by
druggists. 60 cents per bottle.--Adv.

vice was the proposed reorganization
of the executive branch OF the govern
ment. In the closing days of his ad.

that problem and appointed an eff

work of reorganization.
The coming Of Mr.. Taft revived spec
ulation about his possible appointment

SEEING
SHORES OF PACIFIC
According to Claim Made by Bolshevik
Wireless Message Received in
London from Mos
cow

London, Dec. 24.--An official bolshe-
vik wireless message received from Mos
COW quotes the Izvestia as asserting
that cit Is evident that Japan has
adopted a policy Of Selling the shores
of the Pacific II adds:
"The Japanese general staff has
marked out a fortified line in the shore
zone from Shanghai through kwang-
tung peninsula and the Russia coastal
region and the Kamchatka peninsula.
"a line through Kwangtung from
Shanghai would cover the southern
half of the Chinese coast about 700
miles, including Hongkongl.
"The japanese are conducting def
initely imperialistic policy with regard
to far eastern Russia, By coneealing
their plans, they hoped the allies would
bless their Siberian policy. When Amer
lea, however, cried out against them,
Japan hestiated and then declared she
feared an attack from bolsheviki and
that an aggressive policy in Siberia
was necessary.
"She, therefore, disarmed the Rus
sian troops in the maritime province
and is attempting to liquidate the for
tifcations of Yladivostok and Nikolae
ysk.
"Such are the intentions Of the Jap
anese imperialists. Japan may be ex-
pected to tenaciously persevere in eff
fecting her plans, and therefore, the far
eastern republic with its headquarters
at Verkhue- Udinsk is faced with the
problem of definitely resisting the ag-
gression of the Japanese in Siberia. As
this in like measure affects China's in
terests, they must unite for joint re-
sistance TO japanese aspirations on
the Asiatic mainland"

..lndian SUMNER

According to William Henry Phyfe's
5000 facts. Indian summer is the early
part of November. The name was de-
rived not from the state of weather,
but from the fact the weather being
mild and balmy the Indians used that
period to harvest their corn, and 1t
lasted nine days and came just before
winter set in. This season corresponds
to the days known as "St. Martins
summer" in England and the Mediter-
ranean countries, although this season
in the mentioned countries comes In
the fall Just before our Indian summer.
