causes are responsible" says Mrs.
Supple. ''The girls and young wom-
en- who earn money easily and are
willing to pay any price that is
asked for anything they want, and
the younger girls who make their
parents buy them things they can
not afford; and the makers of hat
styles, who put on the market gro
tesque designs, made of perishable
material, and of radically different
outline several times a year to
catch the eyes of women who want
extreme styles, are afraid to be out
of fashion, and are willing to pay
extravagant prices.
To Hit Style Habit
by designing for this class of
women, they practically force all
the rest to wear the same things
and pay the same prices. Change
this, and you will get rid of much
of the profteering. The only way
a m%illiner can get anybody to pay
from SIS to $50 for a handful of
straw is by arguing that it is the
very latest agony. .
I'VE shall ask club women and
others to join us in refusing to buy
hats of extreme style or to pay ex-
orbitant prices. But while older
women may be willing to hold to-
gether in an effort of this kind.
the girls I have spoken of will not.
They are the ones who make it pos
sible for milliners to keep prices up

B|G MARKET FROM
 START, HE ADVISES
Dr. Jacobs Tells Realtors of City Market In Houston,
 Texas

l Dr. William States Jacobs of Hous- pal market, and J. Ellis Brown, city commissioner voiced the attitude of the commission toward a market in l Birmingham at the meeting of the Real Estate Exchange yesterday 'Tf you ever have market" said pr. Jacobs, you will never see how you did without it."
 The market in Houston extends over part of city block, which, with the municipal building, is situated in the heart of the retail district It is uni. versally popular with the people. the merchants and the growers. It is a daily exhibit of the fruits Texas. The large number of dealers make it possible to have every article on sale at all times.
 The city dominates the market and controls prices by the amount of rent charged for each stall. small amount is charged for the stalls, al- lowing the dealers to sell at a low price. TOT some time the clty con- ducted stall where prices were such that reasonable profit could be made.
 One piece of advice, said Dr. Ja cobs. Wait until you can start on a large scale Do this and you will never regret it.
 The experiment. of the city stall where prices were made on basis of a reasonable profit brought to light one fact. The corner grocery was prof. iteering tremendously on green goods.
 There is only one side to this ques- ton. That is, how well and how quick ly can you get started"
 J. Ellis Brown, commissioner of pub lie utilities, said
 The city commission is entirely for the proposition and want a city mar ket" He said that the commissioH had taken the matter up for informal discussion. but had not yet formally entered on a solution of the problem. He told of the nnancial condition of the city. It would be impossible to start the market right. he said, unle ss the people came forward and offered their CO operation and help.

ST. LOUIS BROWNS
MAY TRAIN HERE

1t is almost a certainty that Boga-
lusa will be the spring training camp
of the St. Louis American League
team, the Browns" A represen-
tative of the Browns is expected to
arrive in Bogalusa after the first of
the year to look over the city and
report on the advantages offered by
training camp.
Acting on the suggestion made in
The Enterprise two weeks ago, tthe
Chamber of Commerce wired Bob
Quinn, business manager Of the st.
Louis Americans, telling him of the
advantages that Bogalusa has in the
way of hotels, golf courses, swim
ming pools, climate and one Of the
best ball parks in the South. The
wire created quite a sensation in
st. Looev sporting circles and was
the subject of a column and half
of space in the Sunday papers.
D. B. Haven, sales agent for the
Great Southern Lumber Company in
st. Louis, is a personal friend Of
Walter Fritch, one of the directors
of the Browns, and he is putting In
fluence to bear up there,
Mayor Sullivan wired Mr., Haven
to have the st. Louis club send a
representative down here and look
over the town, and see what accom-
modations we were in a position to
give them. A. J. HeinemSn, presi-
dent of the New Orleans 'Pelicans,"
is also keeping the wires hot advis-
ing Bob Quinn to consider Bogalusa,
owing to its proximity to the Cres-
cent City.
Only two other cities in Louisiana,
Hammond and Monroe, are trying to
secure the "Browns," but the fact
that we have it on them in regard
to ball park is a deciding factor in
our favor.

The police jury of Washington
parish saved the parish more than

Tree Growing
Contest Started

New Orleans, La, Dec. 22.-Prizes
amounting to $500 will be awarded
during 1921 to the winners of the
great tree-growing contest among
members of Boys Reforestation
Clubs, now being formed in Louisi-
ana. This is the announcement of
III. L. Alexander, state conservation
commissioner, following a recent
meeting here Of the General For
estry Advisory Board.
The Reforestation Clubs will be
organized and conducted along the
lines Of the Boys Pig Clubs and
Corn Clubs, which have been meet
ing with such success among the
boys of the rural districts of the
state.
Colonel W. H. Sullivan, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the
Great Southern Lumber Company at
Bogalusa, who, as member of the
Forestry Board. first conceived the
idea of the Reforestation Clubs, has
offered the $500 for prizes during
1921 and outlined his plan as fol-
lows:
"To be member of a Reforesta-
ton Club each boy should have
charge of a tract of land being re-
forested, either naturally or artifi-
cially, and on his success in produc-
ing valuable forest of young trees
would depend his capture of a prize.
In most cases the reforestation would
be natural, from seed scattered on
the wind by nearby trees, but where
no seed trees exist, planting would
be the method of securing a young
stand. The contest would also extend
to sapling thickets, whic hthe boy
might thin out scientifically to pro-
duce the best and quickest growth,
or from which he might secure the
greatest revenue by careful cutting
and marketing. In fact, there should
be prizes for a number of classes in
the contest, besides a general sweep
stakes prize. To insure permanency
to the reforestation projects, the
boys fathers would be expected to
enter the customary contract with
the state forestry officials, under
which advantages in taxation are
granted in return for the agreement
to reforest land. On nearly every
farm there are a few acres of idle
land, generally poor land not suited
for crops, which the owner could
turn over to his son for tree-grow-
ing. Such a proposition, under state
is a first-class endoW-
ment policy, rivally life insurance.
When the boy grows up, he has
valuable piece of property to give
him a start in life"
Inquiries concerning the 1921 con-
test should be directed to the Depart
nent of Conservation, New Orleans,
louisiana.

President Talley served as toast
master and had an original way in
introducing the speakers, Messrs.
DeKalb, Ayres, Sanders and Sulli-
van, and so important were the
addresses of these gentlemen to
every citizen that each requires
special mention, which is made in
this issue of The Enterprise.
The members of the Chamber of
Commerce are looking forward to
another such luncheon, which Presi-
dent Talley assures is at no distant
date.

incidentally, living costs were low

anyone who thinks prices have not
been greatly reduced, all he has to
do is to visit the stores which are
advertising the reduced prices.

at market price-not cost price, but
the market price of Today-withouC
any profit being allowed for over

we take our loss and restock with
goods at the new low prices. that
much sooner will / feel real good
again. 1t is a tremendous loss, but
since it has to be met, we decided
to take it like boy would medicine,

Berensons and Joseph & Levy,
well known Columbia street mer-
chants, announced that they would
sell merchandise below cost, and then
came Dave Bienn, the progressive
hardware and furniture dealer, who
announced that every article in his
store would be offered at cost, and
in many instances below.
Dreyfus, Inc, on Columbia street,
who feature quality, advertised their
high-grade stock at cost price with
out any overhead allowed for selling,
and several other merchants, includ-
ing Morris Berenson of Austin street,
offered big reductions, and if you
thought there was a scarcity Of
money in Bogalusa, you should have
visited any of the above stores the
first days Of this week.
Many have read of how excited
people became in trying to spend
their money and get bargains, but
there were hundreds Of such cases
here this week.
All reductions will remain in full
force until due notice IS given to the
contrary. Some merchants are IN
clined to believe that prices will re-
main down, while others think that
within short time there will be a
slight advance, but nothing to com
pare with prices during the last three
years. At any rate the public is
