BRUSSELS, Belgium, September 81
The league of nations is in financial
difficulties. While its budget is not
large, serious questions have arisen
as to who is to pay it. In accordance
with the covenant the expenses are
to be borne by the members of the
league on the basis of the apportion-
ment established for the Universal
Postal Union. In practice, however,
this arrangement has proved unsatis-
factory. 1t appears that there is no
definite system of apportionment in
the Postal Union and that Canada and
Australia pay as much as Great
Britain. The total sum OF the expendi-
lures has been SO small that no nation
heretofore has raised objection to its
quota
For the first semester OF 1920 the
league expenses were fz50.000 (nor-
mally 1880, ,000). For the second
semester they are estimated at $780,

Bigarnist Maries
Bogalusa Girl Of Is

Bogalusa citizens were shocked
last Saturday when they learned that
Howard B. Stout, who spent several
weeks here in the interest of the Lib
erty National Insurance Company as
stock salesman, was bigamist as
well as having been arristed at Lake
Charles, charged with using the mails
to defraud to the extent of about
$40, 900.
The press dispatches stated that
the federal authorities had been look
ing for him for some time, but he
was always just out of reach until he
was arrested at Lake Charles last
week.
Stout was married some three
weeks ago in Covington to a young
lady of Bogalusa, VINO is Of excellent
family. She returned to her home
Monday.
Stout spent considerable time here
and disposed Of many thousands of
dollars worth Of stock. No connec-
ton with his stock sales here have
so far figured in any of his troubles,
but it is known that he had a "clean-
up" in the sales. He gave several
tparties" during his stay here, but
in view of the success he was having
with his stock sales, no one ques-
toned his honesty.
1t is said that besides being an ex-
ceptionally good stock salesman, he
speaks German and Chinese fluently.
He is being held at New Orleans
pending a preliminary hearing.

fluence. No one can take the pc
culiar place she filled in our affec-
ton and in the general confidence
and esteem of her fellow citizens.
When death took her from US there
feeling that a great stabillZing influ-
ence had gone, that somehow the
town was less safe for the ideals We
were struggling for, that the cause
of Righteousness, justice and fair
dealing between citizens had lost its
strongest champion. This feeling
was confined to no class or Greco ;
for all knew that she stood for the
right, for industrial justice, for
righteousness, for protection of the
weak, and for all that is best in life.
We realized that her great heart was
dead, that our leader who led always
upward and onward, whose driving
forces were Truth, Humanity and
Love, had gone never to return.
AS the days passed into weeks and
the weeks into months, our sense Of
loss has grown greater and greater,
and more and more do we miss her
love, her understanding and her wis
dom.
We cannot forget her; the beauti-
full life Of unselfish devotion she led,
the homes she entered, the hearts she
comforted, the souls she strengthened
cannot forget the friend and helper
who stole into their hearts and whis-
pered the right word at the right
time, ard built a bri'0e over the
chasms iof lost hope that brought
them to the fruition Of nobler dreams
than they had ever cherished.
From the moment Of Bogalusa's
| inception 60 the time Of her death,
Mrs. Sullivan consecrated herself to
the supernal task Of aiding Mr.. Sui
Ivan in making Bogalusa q model
city.
In the early days of our town 1t
was the custom for anyone needing
advice or assistance of any nature 10
visit Mrs. Sullivan at herthome. And
sweet were those days when our
family was so small that we could
each claim a large portion of her
time. But as Bogalusa grew, Mrs.
Sullivan's efficient mind realized that
organization was necessary in order
that the greatest number might m Z.
lister and be ministered unto. She

Produces $4,000
Cigars in Week

We are nationally known as the
South's greatest lumber town, and
even our paper mill utilities waste
lumber for its ~roduct. But we have
several industries here where lumber
or logs plays no part in production,
and these also help to keep the Magic
City on the man.
Numbered among these is the cigar
factory, q branch Of the American
Tobacco Co. This little factory en-
ploys about seventy-five Of our wom-
en- and girls and has monthly pay
roll Of $2,500.00. The factory here
was started with practically no ex-
perienced help, and already eighteen
Of the girls are listed as 'piece work
ers," and are earning almost tw1ce
as much as when they started. This
is remarkable, considering that up to
few months ago the majority OF
them never got any closer to q
'stogy" than to crush the one carried
in some aspiring youngsters breast
pocket during the process OF a Sum
day nights counting.
Last weeks production amounted
to $4,000 cigars, although the daily
output has reached as high as 450U
on several occasions. Auditor Dring
advises that there is now a stock
Of III, 900 first-clsss smokes on hand
and an order for 10000 on file in
the office, which they expect to ill
as soon as their expert packer ar
rives.
The company is doing everything
possible for, its employees, and Super,
intendent Somers is very proud Of
the remark made by Mayor Sullivan
during recent visit to the factory
when he commented on the general
clean and sanitary condition Of the
plant. They are at present trying t.
make arrangements for better trans.

Shoot Into Train;
Vats Dynamited

Police are still working on the
clues of persons who dynamited three
dipping watts in this ward last Thurs
day night, and had not heavy rain
fallen on Friday afternoon it is be-
lieved the bloodhounds, which were
brought here from Crystal Springs,
would have caused the investigation
of some one in connection with the
dynamiting or the shooting into the
evening southbound passenger tram
as it was passing through Bogalusa
Terrace.
As the train from jackson passed
near the hardwood mill two shots
were fired into the white coach. For
tunately the bullets did not strike
any of the passengers. Both bullets
were found imbedded in the wall of
the coach above the windows.
On the arrival Of the train at the
depot the matter was reported to
the police, who Immediately rushed
to the scene, but could secure little
information.

Great Progress On
Fanklinton Road

IL you are one Of those skeptical
persons who still believes that Wash
ington parish is not going to have
model roads, then take a drive out
about five miles toward Franklinton
and see the progress which has been
made in a few weeks by Contractor
w. H. Thomas. About one-half mile
of the road has been built and is now
ready for the gravel. This includes
the concrete culverts and all the
modern ideas. and once you see the
work that is being done, you will real
ize that good roads in Washington
parish is just question Of a. few
months.
Mr.. Thomas expects to make still
greater progress during the next few
weeks, as the work Of organizing his
crews, the delay Of material, ETC.,
connected with the many days Of
rain, has retarded progress, but his
showing is greater than any citizen
had expected.
1t viii be worth your while to drive
out to the new road some time dur
ing theN week. You viii feel repaid
when you observe the class Of work
that is being done.

C. S. L. PRAISED
BY DAILY STATES

Some days ago we mentioned the
fact that some Of the Eastern indus.
trial concerns, notably the Steel Cor.
poration, had worked out plans by
which employees could have homes
built at much less than the market
cost and acquire them in monthly
payments but little above what their
rent would be. These industries
have taken this step for two reasons
First, to solve the housing problems
and content their labor; and, second,
to insure permanent forces Of worthy
employees.
Il is interesting to note the an
nOuncement of a similar plan by
Manager W. H. Sullivan of the Great
Southern Lumber Company and the
Bogalusa Paper Company.
Under the Sullivan plan the cost
of a house is based on a much lower
estimate than it could be built by any
individual. The employee is asked to
make a small initial payment, per
cent, and the balance is divided into
small monthly installments which in
clude interest, taxes, insurance, light
and water. If an employee leaves the
city or dies within the first two
years, or the house burns, the COM
pany offers to return the difference
between the amount paid per month
and what the rent would be. After
the first four years the employee is
given his deed and the company
takes mortgage extinguishable
when the full amount has been paid.
This seems to be an admirable ar
rangement and it ought to make Bo-
galusa attractive to labor which seeks
permanent employment and location.
The example ought to be followed by
other industrial concerns in the
state.-New Orleans Daily States.

BIoodhounds Are
Magic City Need

When trains are fired into and
community property dvnanited moth
ing should be left undone to bring
the guilty parties to justice. "A prom
inent business man has suggested
that Bogalusa should have some thor
oughly trained bloodhounds to work
IN such cases. III trained blood
hounds had been in Bogalusa last
Thursday night, you would have
known Of the arrest as soon as you
learned of the violent acts. The ex-
pense Of keeping the dogs would be
small and the publicity Bogalusa
would secure by having dogs to send
to any nearby towns when wanted
would be worth something, not men
tioning the fact that the minute a
crime aslcommitted in the commun-
ity quick arrests would result.
The Commission Council should
investigate the cost and expense Of
keeping q pair Of good dogs at an
early date. They might prove one
of the best investments the commun-
ity could make.

: of the introduction Of the human ele-
ment into all relations. She united
many families by her explanation OF
the g.Vs-and-ta.le poliey.
She never gave material aid with
out also ascerSaining every other
need.
She persuaded many a John and
jim that his weak back, his heart
trouble and his domestic unhappi-
ness could best be cured by good
steady job. And she would not only
procure the job for him, but make it
her business to see that he reported
for work. And as nothing is more
soothing to wife's temper than q
/ regular pay envelope, a -contented
home would soon be the result.
This strengthening !, of home ties
has saved for Bogalusa countless
boys and girls that would otherwise
have been lost to themselves and to
the community.
A clean, joyous soul in vigorous
body, this was the impression Mrs.
Sullivan made upon all who came IN
contact with her. Her wonderful
disposition had most salutary effect
upon others.
I remember upon one occasion
when she started out to deliver 9
floating kidney brace and a pair Of
elastic stockings, the parcels got
mixed and were left at the wrong
homes. The floating kidney brace
was given to a lady Of some three
hundred pounds and the elastic
stockings were left at the home Of
lady whose avordupois registered
only ninety-five.
The next day both women appear
ed and were highly indignant at the
mistake that had been made.
Through all the discussion Mrs. Sui;
! Ivan remained sweet and quiet,
lmerely asked them to exchange pack
ares, and remarked that IL the arti-
ciss were as good as their nantltae
tuners claimed them to be, they
would soon have to swap again.
/ Neither woman could resist such
good natured humor, so in the end
both left with smile and new IN
sight into the disposition and charac.

/ BOgalusa ever had.

The following eulogy to Mrs. Eliza
beth Fitzrandolph Sullivan, which
will be Of interest to every Bogalusa
citizen, was delivered by Mrs. E. E.
Lafferty at Goodyear Park last Sun
afternoon at the dedication of the
wading pool erected to the m emory
of ''The Mother of Bogalusa, and is
reproduced in full. Mrs. Lsfferty
probably knew Mrs. Sullivan better
than any other Bogalusa woman, as
she was actively associated VITA Mrs.
Sullivan in most of her community
welfare work.
Custom and sentiment have
set aside and made sacred to US enc
Sunday in each year to be dedicated
to the honor of our mothers. Boga-
lusa has been foremost in observ-
ance of this beautiful and soul elevat-
ing custom, and it is particularly fit
ting that we should mediate today
upon the life, character and work Of
the Mother Of Our City.
The aspiration and fountain head
of the series of remarkable steps
which have brought Bogalusa so UNI
swervingly and so rapidly to the fore
can be traced to this wonderful wom-
an, whose watchword was Duty,
whose guiding stars were Truth and
Humanity, and whose life was one
of Service for the Right, for her
fellowman and for God.
Her withdrawal on July II, 1918,
by the Supreme Will from the coun-
ellis and policies of the town drove
home to all hearts the worth of her

took the problem to Mr.. Sullivan, and
he conceived the idea of a Mothers
Honor Commission. the OUTSTANDING
principal Of which was to be that Il
is an honor to aid those less FORUM
ate than yourself.
This idea was eagerly sponsored
by Mrs. Sullivan as it appealed To
her thirst for service and sacrifice.
She called the women of the city to-
gether and presented to them a plan
OF organization and service so unique
that 1T remains as yet without q
parallel. The Mothers Honor Com
mission was truly the child of love
OF the women Of bOgalusa, as its pro-
posed plan was accepted in its en-
tirety at the time of it's organiza-
ton and vas never altered.
The most remarkable feature of
the Mothers Honor Commission was
that its affairs were so conducted
that its benefic;aries were made to
feel that in accepting help they were
comforting favor and an honor upon
the organization.
Some Of our staunchest citizens of
today are wreckage that was salvaged
by Mrs. Sullivan through the Moth
ers' Honor Commission. Many indi-
viduals and families were tided over
crisis that would have meant ever
lasting ruin, had the NJ. H. C. not
stepped IN at the psychological mo-
ment.

of the people and they understood
her. She appreciated the Importance

OLNERH.ARNOL

PURVISHOME
Bullet Enters Behind Right
Ear and Death Was
instantaneous
SAW ACTIVE SERVICE
IN FRANCE IN WAR.
Had Been Confined in Bo-
galusa Hospital for Many
Weeks With Broken Leg
Probably Despondent.

Oliver II. Arnold, aged "a, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Arnold of
Pleasant Hill, a veteran of the World
War who took part in some of the
heaviest fighting in France, commit
ted suicide at the home of r. l..
Purvis, 925 Avenue e, shortly before
z O'Clock Wednesday morning. No
cause for self-destruction is known,
unless it be that he brooded over his
illness. He left no note nor in his
conversation with Mrs. Purvis even
limited that he contemplated suicide.
Arnold was well known to number
Of Bogalusa citizens.
Last December young Arnold sus-
tanned a broken leg and had been
confined at the Rogalusa Hospital,
where he was receiving every atten-
ton. About 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning he is reported to have at
tempted to leave the hospital, but
was persuaded to return by attaches.
Three hours later he left the hospital
and while hobbling up the avenue
was picked up by jitney driver and
taken to the Purvis home, where he
had resided prior to being confined
in the hospital. On arriving there
he is reported to have told Mrs. Pur-
Wis that he called to purchase her 49,
caliber revolver. She secured the
revolver and gave it to him, where
upon he asked for a drink Of water
and Mrs. Purvis had stepped into the
kitchen for the water when the shot
rang out. She rushed to the room
where she had left Arnold and found
him lying on the flood, dead, with
the weapon still in his hand. The
bullet entered just behind the right
ear and death was instantaneous.
Neighbors were attracted by the shot
and came to the Purvis home and
notified the police.
That Arnold had evidently planned
the suicide is shown by the fact that
he did not visit his parents, who live
only d few blocks away.
Coroner Brock was notified and
arrived in the city Wednesday after
noon, but the coroner's verdict had
not been rendered as the Enterprise
went to press.
When news of her sons death was
reported to Mrs Alfred Arnold, she
was Frustrated. Just about a year
ago her son, Otis, a u. S. Marine,
was drowned off the coast OF Haiti
and the body was brought here for
burial. Another son, H. L. Arnold,
who received q serious shell wound
in the World War, has been suffer
ing from his injuries for. months and
recently returned from New Orleans
where he has been attending vo-
cational school.
