Men, Look Who's
Coming Friday, 18th

Men of Bogalusa, who take pride
in their clothes, will be pleased to
know that arrangements have been
made for the finest and largest tail
ing house in America to not only
send their representative to Boga-
lusa, but one of the highest priced
cutters in the tailoring business will
accompany the salesman.
The visit to this city will begin on
Friday, Sept. 18th, when Ralph n.
Nicely, representative of Lamm &
Co., accompanied by one of Lamm's
best cutters, will be at the Bogalusa
Stores with fine line of domestic

The arrangements were made dur
ing visit of Manager Max Wa on

eff the men of Bogalusa will come
and let the cutter take the measure
ments, this same cutter will return
to Chicago and build the clothes.
The advantage of this can be appre-
eiated," said Mr.. Wilson. ''Then
when you receive the suit and you
realize that it is a perfect fit, it will
only be necessary for you to come
to the Bogalusa Stores and select
your suit from the samples each sea-
son. Your measurements by the cut
ter will be kept by Lamm & Co., and
this advantage should appeal to every
man.

Two hundred attended the local
Federation Of Labor picnic on Pearl

picnic grounds being located on the
banks Of the river near the big bridge
and had been cleared Of all UNDER

erected and a race course lai out.
The majority Of the pieniekers
spent the morning holding contests
and races; some Of the men went fur
Their up the river to catch q mess Of
fish," an the younger ones went in
swimming. A big fish fry was held
q noon and, although it is said the
fish were caught with q silver hook
and not in the customary way, the
fish were greatly enjoyed. The huge
baskets Of sandwiches and pastries
brought by the picnickers were also
utilized and the feed was washed
down with Coea-Cola and other soft
drinks.
The happy crowd returned to Boz
lusa in the afternoon in time to see

$l57,5OO For Good
Streets in Bogalusa

No longer is Bogalusa to have
streets which are not in keeping with
the other Improvements of the city.
On the contrary, work will soon start
on the building of several miles of
fine gravel streets. Fifty thousand
dollars was recently set aside for this
purpose and at the meeting of the
Commission Council Tuesday evening
this fund was increased $40 900
more, which viii gravel almost every
street in the city. Present plans are
to make these gravelled streets the
best in the South.
A bond election has been called
for Thursday, October IA, to vote a
4 u mill tax, to run IL years, which
will give the city $37, 500 each year
for that period with which to ex-
tend and improve streets and for the
building of bridges and crossings.
The $S7,500 will be available for
this year, giving the city S157,5O0
with which to build streets this wear.
Bids for part of the work have al
ready been advertise for.
This was deemed the best solution,
following the protest Of several tax
payer against paying for half the
paving, as has been announced. The
paving idea will be temporarily
abandoned.
By spending all the money for the
travelling of streets, it will improve
almost every street in the city,
whereas the former plans-of the
city paying one-third the paving cost,
they found the fund lacked SIT 900
and the contract could not be award
ed. The proposition was then sub
mitted to have the property owners
pay half the cost and met with con-
opposition. The only So
luton then was to spend the money
TO gravel streets in every section Of
the city. In the manner the whole
of the city will be benefited by good
streets which will compare favorably
with any to be found in this section
Of the South.

Generator Units
ToIncrease Power

Because of the constantly increas-
ng demand for powere, as we'll as the
contemplated improvements and adj
ditions in both the Great Southern
Lumber Company and the Bogaiuss
Paper Company plants, it became
necessary to add to the power equip
ment Of both properties. In order
to secure this addition power, it was
necessary to consider the REQUIRE
ments in all phases as well as the
means which were at hand for gener-
ating this additional demand.
In both properties there is consid-
cradle waste energy which, if cor
rected, will be suitable for reuse in
the development of electrical power.
This was one of the principal phases
which led to the the selection of two
turbine generator units which would
operate from the vast energy or ex-
hauste steam, as we'll as from that
steam supplied directly from the boil
ers. Purchase was made of two of
these units, each capable of electi-
cal energy, one to be installed at the
paper mill and the other at the lum-
Der mill. With this additional power
each plant will be capable of operat-
ing independent of the other, and in
cases of emergency each plant will
be in a position to deliver a certain
amount of power to the other, thus
warranting continued operation of
both properties and insuring each
plant against any prolonged interrupt
ton to service.
The units in question were pur-
chased at a cost Of $500 each, and
to install these will require an addi-
tional cost of approximately $780,
900. Shipment of the first engine
is expected about the middle of JAN
uary and it viii be installed at the
paper mill. The second machine will
follow about the middle of March.
Wok has already been started in
preparation for receiving these units
and it is hoped to have the entire
auxiliary equipment ready by the
time the turbine arrives.

Big M E. Revival

Sunday registered the opening of
the revival that has been announced

of a downpour of rain, the First

Of Scotland, is chorus director, hav-
ing come to relieve Hal Miller, who
was prevented by sickness. Mr..
Waugh has a fine tenor voice and is
an enthusiastic leader. A great cho-t
rus has already been organized and
the music will be principal part Of
the meetings.
Miss Anne Andrews, daughter Of
the evangelist, is soloist, and she has
captavated the people. Her voice has
a wonderful range and her person
atty makes her q 1avorite Of the
group. She has not only sang at all
the services, but by invitation has
appeared before the ladies Of Boga-
lusa at the Y. W. C. A. and before
the High School.
The services are being held every
night in the Armory, and every morn
ing at 10 o'clock in the First Meth
odist Church. A children's chorus
Is meeting and rehearsing each even
ing at $3.50 o'clock, and Miss Andrews
Is organizing a special Bible Class

ngs will continue indefinitely.
