Don'ts for, Auto
Drivers Coming

The careless manner in which au-
tomobiles are handled by drivers in
Bogalusa has led Commissioner of
Public Safety Lindsey to instruct the
police department to prepare list
of "don'ts" to safeguard the public
and drivers will be encouraged to
abide by the rules
Each and every rule will be simple,
yet, which if followed, will work for
the safety of the drivers and cars as
well as the public.
just now the police are giving
some attention to seeing that auto
mobile owners take out their 1920
license. Failure to do so within the
next few days will make you liable
to fine.

Many Flu Cases;
Few Of Pneumonia

With records Of March broken for
disagreeable weather the influenza
situation has grown worse during the
past week and in every section Of
the city there are cases, while many
are confined at the Bogalusa Hos
pital.
Few cases Of pneumonia have de-
yelOped. There have been two deaths
from this source during the past
week.
With warmer weather arriving, it
is believed the situation in BOgalusa
will rapidly improve and that the
sickness this year will be nothing to

SNOW, SLEET AND
RAIN ON MONDAY

Bogalusa took honors in weather
conditions Monday, if variety counts
for anything. Early in the morning
there was snow, the first to visit Be-
galusa in a number of years. It
melted about as fast as it struck the
ground, however, and the children
were robbed of what they believed
would be one of the great days
they seldom enjoy. The snow was
followed by sleet and the sleet was
followed by rain, not enough of all,
however to get the streets sloppy.
Once or twice the sun made des-
perate effort to get from behind the
clouds, but without success.

SHELVING AN OLD
SUPERSTITION
Thirteenth Annual Marion County
Fair win be the Most Lucky
of the Series

The thirteenth annual Marion Coun-
Ity Fair win be held this year Nov.
.23-27, and the fair officials have no
superstition about its being the thir-
teenth. They are ready "to tell the
world" that this years fair is going
to be one of the best yet held in this
most versatile of counties. With
larger premium list, an increase in
the number of community exhibits and
in the collective farm exhibits and
promises of the largest showing of
swine ever p4dde in this county, horse
and mule racing, and with Miller
Bros. shows to furnish the carnival
attractions, there will be a full pro-
gram for each of the four days. Presi-
dent j. G. johnson, of the Marion
County Fair and Agricultural Asso-
citation, has called a meeting of the
directors for Friday afternoon to
complete all arrangements.
1t will probably be necessary. ac-
|cording to E. c. Bennett, secretary

changes in the exhibition buildings
and livestock pens in order to accom-
modate the increased number of ex-
|hibitors. New features this year will
be exhibits made by the county boys

and litter club, special Poland China

and pig club contest for the negro
boys.
This year the fair association has
decided to abandon the racing of all
outside horses. There will be races
for Marion coupty horses only, and
the mule races. The mule races were
a new thing last year, and were a
scream from start to finish. The
mules are ridden by prominent men of
the county. Some mules and some
riders!
The officers of the fair association
this year are: J. C. johnson, presi-
dent, Ocala; J. K. Christian, vice
president, Mcintosh; E. C. Bennett,
secretary and treasurer, 0eala, and
j. H. Talton, manager, Anthony.

liable fair grounds, with all the
equipment, has been decided to Mar
ion county, and the Marion County
Fair is for the people, owned by the
people and operated by the people"

Aztec Relics.

= Many interesting relics have been
found recently of the lost race or pre-
historic people who lived in the great
community dwellings now in ruins
near Aztec, New Mexico. The evi-
dences of a surprisingly high civiliza-
tion include curious sandals woven
from yucca leaves, fibre and cotton.
The people delighted in ornaments OF
shells cut into discs and beads of tur-
Quoise and shell. There are jasper
arrow points, bone avis and needles.
The basket weaving was also of high
artistic quality. The most interest
ing of these relics is the eoiled pot
terry made by rolling long strips of
clay and winding them round and
round as is done in coiled basketry.
The ancient people who made these
articles are believed to have been the
original cliff dwellers.-Boys' Life.
