G. S. L. TO CONTINUE
WITH FULL FORCE

The curtailment of operations by
many industies in this country and
the laying off Of men in great num-
bers was given careful consideration
by the operating executive Of the
Great Southern Lumber Company
and the Bogaluss Paper Company.
It was brought to the attention Of
the committee that large industries
are laying off men to a great extent
and that several sawmills in this sec
ton had shut down entirely.
W. 81. Sullivan told the committee
that as long as the Great Southern is
consistently able to do so, it win en-
ploy a full force Of men. He said
that the labor situation here is good
at present and that as long as a mar
ket can be found for the company's
products every man in its employ viii
be given the opportunity Of making
full time.
"There is no danger" he said, ''of
any necessity for laying off men in
the near future"

G l. Pays 1919
f Paving Costs

rs es compiled by the engineer
ing pertS who are employed to
MAKE the assessment roll, which
show ahat it will cost every prop
erty ner who win be affected by
the paving, show that 60.o2 per cent
OF the entire proposed paving will
be paid by the Great Southern Lum-
Der Company, 7.08 per cent by the
New Orleans Great Northern Rail-
road Company and LOG per cent by
the bogalusa Paper Company, MAX
ing total Of 69.06, or practically
10 per cent. In dollars and cents it
runs into sn item which will be more
quickly digested and, incidentally,
stagger you. Under the original plan
to nave the property owners on each
side OF the proposed paved streets
pay 0ne-third and the city one-third,
the paving bill which would be pre-
scented to the Great Southern is
$17O,0o0. Now the plan TO have the
owners pay for all paving,
except street intersections, raises the
amount which will be paid by the
Great Southern in excess of $3.50, 900
~-or quarter of a million dollars.
The cost to the city will be 1906
per cent, and to individual property
owners 1903 per cent, which makes
the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany pay considerable more than
tWO-tnirds of the total paving.

ELKs' SPAGHETTI SUPPER
WAS AN ENJOYABLE EVENT

Not in many months have the EIks
enjoyed themselves so thoroughly as
they did on last Saturday evening
when a spaghetti supper was served,
with q hundred OF more members in
attendance. The success Of the
event was due in q large measure to
Percy Lindsey, b. ]. Cowgirl, Past
Exalted Ruler Undertake and Mrs.
]. NJ. Lindsey, who long ago estab-
lished a reputation with the Elks that
no one could prepare spaghetti in q
more appetizing manner, therefore
the culinary part Of the entertain
ment again fell to her.
H. ]. Cowgirl was toastmaster Of
the evening and proved to be one Of
the best that ever presided at an
Elks' supper. Responses were made
by E. r. Cassidy, G. G. Timberlake,

Mother Starves;
Children Are Here

Four children arrived in Bogalusa
last week from Poland, after an ex-
perience that would be most thrilling
to grown-ups who were even accus-
toned to all kinds Of hardships.
Their mother died Of starvation.
Relatives here had been sending sums
of money which did not reach the
family until after the close Of the
war, almost two years after the
money was sent. The children are
now making their homes with their
uncles, Elias and Myer BerensOn,
prosperous Columbia street mer-
chants, where they are now happy
and well cared for, in striking con-
trast TO the months during which they
lived on bread and water with an oc-
casional onion or some other vege-
table made into soup. At no time
for several months did they have
other nourishment.
During the early stages of the
world war Mr.. Berenson received a
letter from his sister telling Of con-
ditions, and he Immediately forward
ed money. The money did not ar
rive at its destination and soon after
ward he was unable to get any word
from them. Money was forwarded
to the U. S. Consul, also through
organizations, and Governor Sanders
rendered his services, but it was diff
ficult to locate the family and de-
|liver the money. Meanwhile the
mother died of starvation. The IA
Their had died just previous to the
outbreak Of the war.
the war before the Berenson broth
ers in Bogalusa learned of the death
of their sister and the location of the
children. Much credit is given Gov
ernor Sanders for his interest in the
case, which greatly assisted in To-
eating the children as well as getting
them to the United States.
The children left Sczzuczih, Po-
land, and for twenty-four hours were
forced to ride standing in crowded
cars like cattle, with only the little
food they carried with them for sus-
tenance. On reaching a French port
the children walked for hours from
house to house, carrying their bSn-
dies, trying to find q place to stay
until their boat sailed. The diff
Guilty they had in getting aboard the
boat, in securing their passports, etc,
is tale Of narrowing experiences.
They were met on their arrival in
New York by relatives and came here
last week to make their home. There
are two bGgaand two girls, IL, IS, 16
and Is years Of age. They have re-
ceiyed the best az care since arriv-
ing ia the United States, but show
the effects of three years Of suffer
ing lack Of food.

Bogalusa Takes Two
From jacksonville

Bogalusa came out two games
ahead this week by defeating the
speedy Mandeille team Saturday
and Sunday with a score Of 2-1 on
both days. Saturday the teams played
before a scant crowd, however, the
local boys played some Of the pref
test ball yet seen, and through the
hurting Of Cussach, who pitched his
first real game since he came to Boz
galusa, won with the score Of 2-1 in
8 innings.
Sunday the fans filled the grand
stand, word that there was going to
be a real game Of ball having been
given out, which brought out many
who have heretofore stayed away.
The crowd was not disappointed.
The jacksonville lads made their
first and last score in the third inn
ing, and from then on couldn't get
past third to save their necks.
The Bogalusa team played as err
ratio as ever, not until the fifth could
q local man score. In this inning
Bob Jones knocked a two-baggerss
stole second and came home on Marx
single to right field.
'4Iron Arm" Poole held the visitors
hitless the next two innings, when
Jones slammed another against the
fence, got as far as third by swip-
ing the sacks, and when caught be-
tween third and home, beat the ball
in, scoring the winning run.
The game was undoubtedly the
best played this season, every man
on the team playing an almost per-
feet game. BOyd made two the best
catches ever seen on the local field,
and 'Lucky" Black demonstrated Ais
ability as a backstop. by not allowing
q single bali to pass him.
