majority of the league members are Scandinavian and German. It is for this reason that the league was accused of disloyalty during the war. The German farmers of the northwest sympathized with their country during the war openly until this country took sides, and a good many of them quietly afterward. And the Scandinavian farmers were either pa cifists or inclined to favor Germany. The league as an organization was not n- terested in foreign affairs but most of it's members had their origin in Ger many or in countries friendly to Ger many. One hears little of the disloyalty charge now. But the same syr,pathes which made most of the leagues vote for Wilson in 1916 because "he kept us out of war lead them, uow that we have been in the war with disastrous results to Germany, to vote against Will sons party.
 GAINS BY REPUBLICANS
 Comparing this year with 1916, when this state was almost carried by Pres- dent Wilson, the republican party regains the Scandinavian vote, which did belong to 1t; regains the German vote which was once republican, plus the German vote which once was democratic; regains the American farmer vote, which was pacifist in 1916 It picks up in the cities considerable Irish vote. which is off the democratic reservation for the first time this year, all of which is the ma terial for a very large majority.
 The democratic party has lost the votes of people who, for one reason or another, domestic or foreign, desire a change of administration at Washing ton. It was always, even in 1916, a minority party in Minnesota. It is a minority party which this time has lost a good many of it's regular voters. There is small drift to Cox of League of Nation supporters, but it is not big enough to compensate for his losses. On coming to Minnesota, one hears that the Cox campaign has failed. He hears the same thing straight across the country from New York through Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. Governor Cox had either to make the country feel that a change from Wilson to himself was all the change that was reeded or he has to raise somei ssue big enough so that the country would begin to think about that issue rather than about it's desire for change at Washington.
 FACES SEVERAL ISSUES
 There is not a sign in Minnesota that has succeeded in doing either thing. Cox has tried several issues. He has tried to elevate the League of Ma tions into first place in mems minds as the big thing on which the country would have to vote He has not suc- ceeded in doing so in Minnesota. A small section of the public accepts the League of Nations as thee hief issue. The rest care less about what form the international organization vii. take than they do about what kind of administration will be in Washington next year.
 A republican who has watched the political situation in this state close ly, said yesterday that the people had made up their minds as soon as both candidates for the presidency were nominated, that they had not changed their minds since and hardly wanted to hear anything about the national contest. The same situation exists gem erally

CRIMINAL WASTE
At NITRO, VA, IS
GRAHAM s CHARGE.

tBT MORNING JOURNAL Special LEASED Wisul
Charleston w. Va, Jan. 27.--
Congress will be asked to take
criminal action against those re-
sponsible for waste of materials
and money in connection with the
construction of the government
powder plant at Nitro, w Va. near
here, declared W. ]. Graham
chairman of the congressional
subcommittee, which closed its in
hesitation of the question late to-
day.
A conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent existed and somebody
ought to be indicted" said the
chairman. while our boys were
fighting and the people We're Civ
ing their money to support them
in it," he added, twice as much
money as was needed was being
wasted at Nitro.
I'VE have found similar condi-
lions at other places the commit
tee has visited, but nowhere have
they shown up so bad as they
have here. One reason for this,
| might say, is that the witnesses
we have examined are more
straightforward in giving their
testimony and do not attempt to
withhold the facts.
There is no doubt about it, he
concluded, there was a purpose
on foot to waste the government
money at Nitro, and it was wasted. =

NOTED SPEAKERS
GIVE TALKS ON
HEALTH TOPICS

The first public meeting in the
history of the New Mexico Public
Health association was held in the
auditorium of the high school yes
terIay evening Three speakers
contributed to make this meeting
. d success. and in spite of the small
attendance they delivered messages
which will be far reaching in their
effects
Or. G. T. Waller, state commits
sioner of health, after being intro
duced by the chairman of the meet
ing Or, Leroy s. Peters, gave an
Control of Influenza" AT present,
according to Dr. Waller, few, ii
any, administrative measures have
been found for the prevention and
spread of influenza, the prevention
of the disease depending upon the
precautions of individuals in the
stricken community. However, it
is easily possible for the mortali-
ties resulting from this plague to
be controlled if the victim imme-
diately goes to bed and remains
there until all symptoms and traces
of the disease have been obliterat-
ed The nasal secretions of an in
fluenZa sufferer are the CHER
causes of spreading infection, and
it is also proven fact that the
germ may he found in a yirulent
form on the cups, tumblers, or
any utensils which the patient may
have access to. Naccines have up
to the present proved to be a fail
lure, and with medical science still
cropping for a means to combat the
disease, DR.. Waller re-emphasi2ed
the role which every individual,
whether suffering from flu or not,
must play to check its ravages.
The second speaker was Miss
Magdalene Ban2hof, director of the
newly created division of public
health nursing in the state depart
ment of health She gave q COM
lplete resume of the contemplated
projects of the department, saying
that at present ten public health
nurses are engaged in this state
and that the board of health is in
great need of more nurses who
have been trained along this line,
and who have a complete under
standing Of the prevailing social
conditions Extensive work in ed
ucating and disciplining the school
children along hygienic lines and
Iaccentuating prophylactic habits
are some of the duties consigned
to these nurses.

president of the Illinois Tubercu-

be plain to most anyone that the
prices of building materials can
not slump to any noticeable eX-

Commenting further on the sit
uation, the lumber company said:
Aside from our own needs here
at home we must take into con-
sideration the needs of Belgium
and France. They must be re-
built. DO you know that France
gave over her reserve supply of
timber for the next six years to
win the war? Do you know that
England through parliament has
authorized the erection of S0O,OOO
homes and that they expect to
make il a million? Russia used to
be large producer of timber, but
she cannot be considered at pres
ent. This leaves the United States,
Canada and Scandinavia to supply
this demand. aside from our own
What does this mean? 1t means
that building materials are up and

EXPLAINS HIGH
LUMBER COSTS
Output Has Decreased About
Eight Billion Feet Since
1915; Prices to Remain
High For Some Time.

A few days ago The Journal in
terviewed the leading lumber
dealers in Albuquerque for the
purpose of ascertaining if posi-
BILE, why the prices of lumber are
high at this time and what pros
pect the dealers saw for a decrease
in the cost of building material in
the near future. They were, with
out a single exception, of the
opinion that there would be no
slump in prices for a long time to
come, if ever, and the Baldridge
Lumber company has gone to the
trouble of preparing some data on
why lumber prices have gone
soaring, along with everything
else.
The following table shows the
cost of lumber in 1915 and 1920;

Compare these increases with
any other item" said the lumber
company, and you will not find
one that has advanced less than

In answer to the next natural
question, "Why have these adj
Vances taken place, and why are
prices still advancing" the COM
pany has submitted the following
statement showing the annual

Two ministers in the Drury cab
met threatened to resign and On
tario politicians were all upset be-
cause this woman got a job. The
registrarship of North and East
MiddleseX was vacant through
death and Miss Minnie V. Walker,
who had been acting as assistant
registrar for several months, was
appointed to the post by Attorney
General w. r. Raney. This brought
howls of protest from the county
executive Of the United Farmer
party and several other leaders,
each of whom had several nom
inees of his own to recommend.
Premier Drury and Mr.. Barry
called attention to the fact that
one of the main planks in the
United Farmers platform was the
abolition of the patronage system
and appointment to government
jobs on merit alone. Then Miss
Walkers appointment was con-
firmed.

election.
The indicted men Included every
member of the committee that
conducted the Newberry campaign
and state, county and municipal Of
.ficial in virtually every county from
Lake Superior to the Ohio border.
The conclusions of the grand
jury were embodied in two blan-
ket indictments. They charged
violation of both federal and state
laws by use of sums Of money far
in excess Of legitimate expenses in
the campaign; and violation Of the
federal corrupt practices act, which
penalties payment of money TO
voters. Use of the mails "to-delraud

further charged against the cam
paign committee. More than $l00.-

Attached to the indictments was

covert acts. These contained
charges that anumber of those in

MYRTLE MAY BIRCH
CHILD WIFE OF SAILOR

On June 80, according to New Or
leans newspaper reports, Myrtle May
Birch, better known in Bogalusa as
Myrtle Baker, was married to Viii
liam Crosby, a sailor boy, who was
formerly located at the Algiers Naval
Station. His child bride is said to be
but Is years of age, was a student in
the Bogalusa public schools and well
Known among the children of the city.
Of her marriage the New Orleans
Item has the following to say:
For three years James r. Birch, a
resident of Bogalusa, has fought to
obtain the custody of his daughter,
Myrtle May Birch, aged Is, from her
maternal grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
George W. Baker, of New Orleans.
He won the decision from the Wash
! ington Parish court; from the Louisi-
and Supreme Court, and was apply
ing for a new trial on a habeas cor
pus in Judge Porter Parker's court
Tuesday when attorneys for the Bak-
ers announced the subject Of litiga-
ton was now Mrs. William Crosby
and emancipated by marriage.
The marriage was performed by
Judge Trauth in Gretna, Saturday
night, with the consent of the brides
mother, now Mrs. Bernard Giordino
of Bogalusa, who was given custody
Of her daughter in 1910 when she OBJ
tanned a divorce from James Birch.
For some years Myrtle May Birch
Crosby has been living with her
grandparents, who adopted her le-
gally. A year ago she met William
Crosby, who was stationed at the AL
giers Naval Station. Later he was
transferred to Pensacola and later to
Newport News. Becoming alarmed
at his sweetheart's legal difficulties,
he made a flying trip to New Or
leans for the wedding ceremony.
After a short honeymoon he will re-
turn to Newport News and make an
effort to obtain his discharge. In
the meantime Mrs. William Crosby
will continue to reside with her
grandparents without fear of the
law.
early marriages are a rule of the
family. Mrs. Crosby's mother mar
ried James Birch when she was 10,
and was a mother at IA. Her APP
pearance in court as the mother of
Myrtle May created a mild sensation,
since she appears even younger than
her twenty-odd years.

CAMOUFLAGE CLUB
ON MOONLIGHT PICNIC

The Bogalusa Camouflage Club
staged its first social affair of the
season last Wednesday night with a
hayride and moonlight picnic. The
picnickers started from the Y. NJ. G..
A. at 1880 in the big Montgomery &
I.adner truck, headed southwest and,
finding a location on the banks Of
the creek that suited the purpose,
spread their luncheon of ice cream,
cake and sandwiches, and showed
