element for the past week, according
to information from the Chamber OF

been literally covered with letters
from men, women and children, all
suggesting various sorts of slogans
with the letter "B" as the starting
letter of the two wards which will
ultimately be selected as the slogan
for the Chamber of Commerce,
While the combination of but two
words, each beginning with the let
ter ''B," is very limited, at the same
time, according to the committee
which will select the slogan, these
words will be sufficient to express
a slogan which will be appropriate
aid one Of which the city and the
Chamber Of Commerce. in PARTICULAR
will be most proud.
The S25 award for the slogan Sc
Iected from among the number sent
IN to the Chamber Of Commerce
headquarters in the City Hall will be
forwarded to the winner Immediately
after the committee makes their Sc
iection at noon Friday, October ~,
50 that it is necessary that slogan
writer's send their suggestions to the
, Chamber of Commerce headquarters
Immediately.
The various slogans will be read
to the committee in charge of the
contests and the name will be with
held after the award has been made
50 that the judges may make the
award on the slogan itself, and moi
| because some well known resident
sent it in. -,
The committee will be impartial
for it wants to select the very bes
slogan for the chamber and want

| the information broadcast that tn,
j citizenship of Bogalusa is one wortl
There is but one stipulation re
ouired of the slogan sender, and tina

WAR RECORDS GONE,

Vienna, Sept. 1S-So many impor- tant records of the last days of the Empire have disappeared from the file that the War Achives Commission has been forced to appeal to officers and officials to come forward with verbal testimony or personal papers in order to complete the history of the period. It is presumed that these documents were removed at the in- stance of officials upon whom they reflected unpleasantly or to hide per sonal guilt. The government prom ises immunity from punishment for any offense which the testimony they seek might disclose so that the com plete history of the breakdown, both on the war fronts and internally, may be written.
