WHITE CITY OFFERS
FINE ATTRACTIONS

The weather man interfered itl
the playing of the little folks as well
as Of the grown-ups during the past
week. Bogalusans play just as hard
as they work, and for that reason
many were disappointed several
evenings during the past two weeks.
Rain has caused the White City to
be dark almost every evening. Man
ager Webster states that this viii not
be the case after this week, as the
roof over the theater will be COM
pleted Saturday and pictures win be
shown every night, rain or not.
Saturday night a large crowd en-
joyed the dancing and picture show,
while the kiddies were riding the fly
ing horses and using the slides.
Manager Webster has arranged for
an interesting program for the week
ending next Wednesday and just as
soon as the weather man gives good
weather, record crowds can be ex-
pected each night. In this issue Of
the Enterprise will be found the
White City's program for the week.
When you visit the White City, take
every member Of your family.

FAILS TO QUALIFY
IN OLYMPIC TRIALS

"Snow" Breland disappointed q
number Of friends, as well as himself,
by his showing at the Olympic trials
held in the Harvard Stadium week
ago. We folks down in this part Of
the country had rather groomed At
lee to clean up with those Yankees
in the mile, and when Joie Ray Cur
tbs and about five other birds loped
in ahead of him Saturday, we all
kinda felt bad.
The men entered in this race were
the so-called cream of the country
and the fact that "Snow" set the pace
and held it for the first quarter Of 9
mile and better, put Bogalusa on the
map. It is said that he ran his first
half mile in little less than 2:07,
finishing in eighth place in 4:25. The
winner, Ray, walked in at 4:16, and
the others were so closely punched
that it looked like a 100-yard dash.
The local boy is not expected to
participate in any track meets in the
near future, but expects to keep in
trim until the meets start again in
September.

Experts VIII Study
Much Local Land

A soil survey of Washington par
lsh by trained men from the Bureau
Of Soils, Washington, D. C.. will
meet a long felt need. Information
showing the different varieties of soil
ana their location will, in a great
measure, classify the lands and show
Lor what each class is best adapted.
from the maps Of such a survey
every landowner, be he farmer OF
lumberman, may classify his land
INTO as many classes as it is shown
he has types Of soil. By long years
OF experience and observation. a
great many people know already how
to distinguish between good and sorry
land. Yet, for even the old veteran
farmer, it will be interesting to OBJ
serve the work Of soil experts as they
apply science in the selection Of our
various types Of soil and give each
separate type its technical name.
furthermore, every landowner
should know every acre of his land,
and know for what each acre is
chiefly valuable, and as nearly as
possible, have each acre working on
the job for which it is best suited.
IS 1t is best suited and most needed
for the production of ordinary farm
crops, then it should be- farmed. If
1T is best adapted to the growth of
timber and grazing, then. it should be
given an opportunity at tree growing.
Why should any of our land be idle +?
Because they are not fenced or
ploughed does not mean that the land
is idle. Yet, for this outside land
to work for us, it is needed that we
work some for it. Keep the fires off
and give the old mother trees, which
are likely to be standing somewhere
around, a chance to raise some chill
dren. These kind of children will
not incubate in fire.
The Great Southern Lumber Com
pany is applying to the Federal Blu
reau Of Soils, Washington, D. c., for
technical men to make a geological
survey of Washington parish. This
company proposes 60 classify their
lands and use the land in the future
to those crops for which they are best
adapted as far as possible. The cut
over lands best for farming will be
sold as such, and that portion best
for tree-growing will be reforested.
This is a progressive long-sighted
program which will work out for the
best interests Of both the company
and the general public.
Ordinarily, the state pays for sur
veys Of this kind, but the state, hav-
ing no POUNDS available, the Great
Southern proposes to pay that part
of the expenses which the state
Eotld have to pay IN order to get
this survey made.

High Honor Paid
BogaIusa Pastor

The twenty-five delegates repre-
senting Bogalusa at the State Sunday
School and B. Y. P. u. Encampment
in New Orleans, July 1922, returned
to their homes Friday, tired but
happy with the knowledge of having
spent profitable and pleasant ten
days in the Crescent City, attending
one Of the largest conventions ever
held in the state.
More than 900 people attended the
encampment, and Bogalusa's dele
gates took no little part in the weeks
events. On Wednesday night, called
"Stunt Mite" the local representa-
tives pulled off one of the best stunts
of the evening and won as much ap-
plause as if they had won the match.
Bogalusa's pastor, Rev. T. w.
darlington, was also honored during
the course Of the meetings by being
elected president Of the State Baptist
Sunday School Conference, which
held its sessions in connection with
the Baptist encampment, and was
also appointed to serve on four diff
ferent committees during the year,
the most important Of which is that
of selecting site for a permanent
camp, which is to comprise twenty
or thirty acres of land, preferably on
a good beach or river bank, where a
number of buildings or dormitories
can be erected. The Chamber of
Commerce of Covington sent eight
Representatives to the conference to
present the attractive possibilities of
Covington, and Vaudeville also
turned in an inviting offer. Both Of
these places viii be visited sometime
within the next month with view
Of obtaining the desired site in one
Of the two cities.
Saturday the delegates chartered
the steamer Sidney and went for q
trip up the Mississippi, having one Of
the most enjoyable times Of their
lives.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
AT PINE TREE INN

Extensive improvements, COSTING
between $500 and 100000. have
been started at the Pine Tree Inn
and when all the work is Completed
that hosiery will compare favorabIy
with any in the country. Running
not and cold water is being placed

ated, the kitchen is being re-euuipped
and many minor improvements are
IN progress throughout the building.
Manager w. s. Gardiner has inn
proved the popularity of the Pine
Tree Inn and business was never bet
ter in its history. If the business
continues to grow, it win be neces-
sary to build large addition to the
hotel, or Bogalusa will not be able
to provide the best accommodations
for the visitors to this city who are
increasing in numbers.

MIL Team
Trims Raihoaders

The Paper Mill boys pulled the
surprise of the season Saturday when
they caught the railroaders, who have
been making a strong bid for cham
pionship honors, off guard and scored
a 4-S victory over them in nine fast
innings Of arguments, protests and
baseball. So many oral debates were
held during the course of the game
that it was necessary to change UNI
pires to keep the original set from be-
ing talked to death. As a baseball
game, it was a great court scene.
Things went sweet as pie for the
railroad lads for the first five innings
in which they managed to score three
runs and the Paper Mill team /, and
thought things were going their
way. In the fifth a ball thrown to
Tom Simmons came pretty low and
Tom, with his mind on the audit Of
flee, let her drop, with one man on
the next bird to bat lobbed slow
bunt to Moak, the hurler, who, in
stead of throwing to first, pegged to
second and lost both of his men;
the next batter did the same trick
and Moak tried him on third, he also
was called safe and Arnold Simmons,
throwing to Tom on first, was trifle
wild and one man scored on the
throw, and when Tom pegged home
on the wrong side of Gatzman, two
more runs came in, result 4-3.
And no matter how hard they tried
the jinx couldn't be broken, so that
when the nine innings were over the
Paper Company had jumped up a
notch and are no longer in danger of
having to play the. Boy Scout team,
Cohen, a late importation of Cap-
tain Firth from the Louisiana League,
showed up we'll behind the bat for the
Paper Mill crowd, and Cusach, who
held the mount on this occasion, per-
formed better than ever. The pulp
workers put up a better brand of
ball than heretofore and appear to be
waking from their beauty sleep" at
the bottom of the cellar. However,
no one is very optimistic over their
chances to win the cup until seen
against the "Bears" or the Great
Southern at least on time.
