There were two strangers in the
town the winter Of '16 and one night
when I was with them they got into
a great argument about the kind OF
a tree that stood out in front OF the
village general store on what is now
Michigan street. One of the two
fellows insisted the tree was a hem
lock. l thought il was bamboo and
the other fellow said there was no
doubt about IL. il was what you call
fumed oak.
Then "A great argument ensued.
Finally l asst one of the fellows why
he knew IL was fumed oak. and he
replied in a loud, ringing voice
When Heller says it's oak, it's

A few days later. a. H Heller for

UNGRATEFUL TRIESTE.

It is remarkable that with all the radical UPRISING

employers, and is regarded economic, not

Italy Trieste and Trent were twin
centers Of the Italia Irredenta" for which The
Italian nation rjsked It's existence and spent many
billions of dollars and many hundreds OF thousands
OF lives. And the redeemed" city shows itself

BUSY ON JOB

Burke Bros, contractors, who were
recently awarded the contract for the
new High School building, are show
ing the citizens Of Bogalusa some
"pep" when it comes to the building
game. By the time their bond had
arrived and was approved, they had
trucks and labor here ready to start
the work and forty-eight hours later
the site of the new school was busy
place.
Unless there is a long delay in re-
ceiving material, the citizens of BO-
galusa may look for the building to
be completed before the specified
time, unless the contractors lose a
lot of the "pep" which they have dis
played.
