c. OF C. GETS LOWER
RATES FOR FARMERS

Through the efforts Of the Boga-
lusa Chamber of Commerce there has
been a material reduction obtained
in rates between Bogalusa and New
Orleans on apples, potatoes, beets,
cabbage, onions and turnips, either in
carload lots or in mixed carloads, and
the minimum car lots have been re-
duced from 10000 pounds to $4,000.
This rate is effected from August l.
This reduction will materially help
the farmers of this parish, as it will
place them on an equal footing with
the farmers living on other railroads
where the freight rates heretofore
were less than those obtained on the
New Orleans Great Northern Rail-
road
The new rate on the above men
toned commodities from Bogalusa to
New Orleans on mixed carloads is 27
cents per 100 pounds, which is con-
less than the rates former
ly in effect.

Merchants Urged to
Display Red Cards

The Chamber of Commerce is get
ting out an official display card for
its members. 1t certifies that the
member has paid dues up to Novem-
Der 1st, 1921, and urges the farmers
to trade with its members. It is col
ored in red.
The Chamber of Commerce is also
getting out a circular letter to all
farmers in this section, directing at
tention to the fact that it is engaged
in assisting the farmer and asking
that the farmer cooperate, not with
funds, but by trading with the bona
fide members Of the Chamber Of
Commerce.
The official display card is to be
signed by the president and secre-
tary, and the name Of the member is
to be written thereon, showing full
paid participating membership, and
in this way it is hoped to secure for
the members cooperative trading
from the farmers. Look in the win
dow for the RED card, indicating
paid-up membership.
The annual election of officers of
the Chamber of Commerce will be
held next month, the date to be fixed
later. Only members in good stand
ing may vote.

City Schools to
OpenNext Tuesday

Everything is in readiness for the
opening of the schools of Bogalusa
on next Tuesday morning, September
9th, and it is expected the enrolment
viii be the largest in the history Of
the city. All of the teachers have ar
rived and have been comfortably To-
Gated.
All the schools have been put in
excellent condition and Prof. Ratliff
believes this will be the most success
full year of the Bogalusa schools, as
it will be the first time that there has
been modern and sufficient room for
all Of the children at the opening of
the fall term.
-Four modern ward schools, as well
as the fine High School were COM
pleted last fall and winter and the
children of this city now enjoy the
most modern schools to be found in
the state.
Prof. Ratliff urges the parents to
see that the children enroll at the
very beginning of the term. The bad
effect of late enrolment upon stu
dent, as well as the entire class, is
most noticeable and you will not only
be assisting your child, but every
child attending school and also show
ing a spirit of cooperation with the
teachers by having your children at
tend school from the first day.

N. o. G. N. GIRLS GIVE
MISS BENNETT SHOWER

Cupid at last realized the fact that
he had been sighting the N. o. G. N.
girls and threw an arrow that landed
right IN the audit office, picking Miss
EldOra Bennett for his victim.
To celebrate the fact, the N. 0. G.
N. girlg gave a shower at the 7. W.
C. A. Monday night in Miss Benefits
honor. About thirty girls were pres
ent and the party began by a pleas
ant swim in the pool; then several
games were played, the chief ones be-
ing eWhy Eldora should get mar
RED" and Glow to- manage a hus-
band" 1t must be admitted that the
majority Of the party can advise how
to manage a husband, for most every
one advised Maggie Jiggs' system OF
using a rolling pin.
A grand march was played and the
guests marched into the gym where
a picnic-style luncheon was served.
Miss Bennett was then asked to look
for the treasure at the end of the
rainbow. And she must have found
the treasure, for beautiful and use
ful gifts of every description were
found in one of the sun parlors.
The guests then gave yell for the
N. q. G. N. and departed, hoping
that Cupid would empty his culver
nito the N. %. G. N. audit office
sometime in~the near future.

School
Notice to Parents

School children will report for
School Tuesday, September 9Th, at 8
o'clock for assignment Of classes and
books. The only change in the school
books is the adoption of a spelling
book for all grades from the third to
the seventh. The spelling book will
be used in the place of the spelling
list heretofore sent out by the state.
All sixth and seventh grade pupils
living south of Bogue Lusa Creek,
and east of the railroad, will report
to the Central School. This is neces-
sary to make room for the increased
attendance in the High School. All
pupils above the fourth grade north
Of Bogue Lusa Creek, and west of
the railroad, will report to the High
School. Otherwise the school dis
tricts are the same as last year. Ow-
ing to the crowded conditions of the
schools all pupils who are under 6
years of age will not be accepted in
school. If a child will become 8
years old after November LIST, it is
best to enter this child at the mid
term, when we will have room to take
them.
Patrons of the school are invited
to the schools on the day of the open
ing to meet the teachers and to
pledge them your every cooperation
in making the schools the very best
we have had.

bruised right foot, Friday morning,

hose uncoupled on a string Of cars,
stepped between them to fasten it,
believing the cars were part of To-
cal train being made ready to go out.
The switch engine that was handling
the cars at the time coupled up just
then and the impact of the coupling
knocked Mr.. Mizell down and the
wheels struck his foot before he could
get safely away.
There were no witnesses to the ac-
cident and, according to the state
ments of the crew, they were un-
aware of Mr.. MizelIs presence in the

BANDIT ATTEMPTS
BOLDROBBERY
SATURDAY
Sam Sheridan, Well Known
Farmer, Is Attacked at His
Home Near Bogalusa and
Daughter Comes to Rescue

Beware of the stranger within
your gatew Sam Sheridan, uncle of
d. E. Sheridan and one of the Oldest
and best known residents Of Washing
ton parish, residing five miles south
west of Bogalusa, failed to remember
this advice and Saturday evening was
held up at the point of pistol on the
front porch of his home, and only
through the interference Of his
daughter, Miss Wilmer Sheridan, was
he saved from a brutal beating. Rob-
berry is believed to have been the mo-
tive for the attack.
Shortly after 5 o'clock Saturday
evening a stranger, described by Mr..
Sheridan as being about 25 years old,
of medium size and wearing pair of
overalls over a pair of dark trousers,
entered his gate and, coming up to
the front porch, inquired about a
brown COW, which he claimed he had
lost. He was invited to be seated
on the porch and rest and tarried for
about Is minutes, talking with Mr..
Sheridan, inquiring the whereabouts
of his sons and when Mr.. Sheridan
expected them home. When told that
there was no one at home except the
daughter, Miss Wilmer, the stranger
arose and drawing his pistol placed it
against Mr.. Sheridan's side, COM
manded: "Hand over that money
you've gotp 81 have no money
here" Mr.. Sheridan replied, and as
the stranger scuffled with him, Mr..
Sheridan cried out for his daughter,
who came running in and seeing the
men tuBseling, attempted to separate
them.
The invader jumped from the porch
and Mr.. Sheridan grabbed his shot
gun and aiming at the fleeing man,
Sulled the trigger, but the weapon
was not loaded. The would7he rob-
Der turned and fired one shot efore
he disappeared in the woods nearby.
All efforts to find him were futile,
although men searched far into the
night. Bob Giants bloodhounds were
sent for, but were not obtainable.
Several other farmers in the neigh
borhood stated that the same man had
been around earlier in the day inquir-
ing about the brown cow and had also
asked where Mr.. Sheridan lived, re-
marking that he had heard his COW
had mingled with the Sheridan herd.
Mr.. Sheridan is reported to have
kept large sums of money in his house
at various times and it is believed
the man, having heard Of this, was
taking a chance Of catching him
alone and forcing him to reveal the
hiding place Of the money.
Several arrests have been made but
Mr.. Sheridan has failed to identity any
of the suspects brought before him.

speeches and tOasts will, of course,
be witty, enjoyable and beneficial.
The intermediate Society held a
