Stinson yesterday added 2 hours

previous endurance record pre-

100 feet, with cold below zero,
with a 70-mile gale and with hot

While no official record was
kept of the distance flown by the
Americans, competent observers
estimated their plane had covered
approximately $500 miles. In dis

What's New
The Market
BY Rex Stewart

Eggs dropped two cents on the
shippers price yesterday, the pro-
ducer now getting SS cents, the
top retail price being between AZ
and As cents. From now on until
February eggs will be continual
ly dropping until the storage in
terests decide on what price will
be paid. II cold weather comes
there will be slight fluctuations
upward with decreases following
changes in the weather.
No change has been made in
sugar prices here though Port
land prices dropped 10 cents on
the sack with the recent lowering
of New York quotations. The
present retail price here is Sc and
$500 a sack.
Local retail flour quotations
have remained unchanged for
some time. Valley flour can be OBJ
tanned for $1.S5 to $3.50 sack,
hard wheat flour for Sits to
s2.15.
Few tomatoes are being handl-
ed by retailers, the last shipment
received here being rather unsat-
isfaetory.
Butterfat is expected to drop
but what the decrease will be is
in doubt.

Austrian Riots
Cause Money Drop

Martins Ferry, Ohio, Dec. al
That the recent riots in Austria

Woodruff, local specialist, who
has just returned from a years
special work, with other Ameri-
can physicians, in Vienna.
Prior to the recent World War
the American dollar bought five
kronen. Today it buys 1000.
This means prices have advanced

AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS
TO BE BOOMING SOON

T. V. Childrens, wholesale repre-
sentative of the Gulf Oldsmobile Co,
of New Orleans, state distributors
for the well known OlsmobHe line,
was a Bogalusa visitor last week.
Mr.. Childers stated that whereas
the automobile business is known to
have been very quiet for the last go
DAYS, conditions throughout the ter
ritory in which he has been travel
ling, namely, Southern Louisiana and
Southern Mississippi, are very much
improved and indications are that the
automobile business will soon again
be in full swing, also that some au-
tlorities have even predicted a short
age before midsummer, owing to
the curtailment of production at the
various factories.
In speaking specifically Of the
Oldsmobile, Mr.. Childers pointed OUT
the fact that the Odds Motor Works
is in an especially healthy condition
at present, being one of the very few
manufacturers who showed an en-
tirely new model at the New Orleans
show, as well as the National Shows
at New York and Chicago; that our
factory has no stock of old models
on hand, but through consistent de-
mand has been able to sell al 1920
models. and therefore, to introduce
the new 1921 models at the very be-
ginning of the season.

Manager Highway
Is Association Here

Jack C. Wilson, general manager
of the Mississippi Valley Highway
Association, whose headquarters are
in Carrolton, H., is in Bogalusa to-
day visiting the local members of the
Mississippi Valley Highway Club.
While in the city, Mr.. Wilson was
taken by J. K. Johnson, who is state
organizer for this highway in LOuisi-
ana, and P. w. Lindsey, secretary
of the local Chamber of Commerce,
for an auto ride over the various
roads leading in and out of Bogalusa.
Mr., Wilson expressed himself as
being greatly surprised at the size of
the city, stating that he thought it
was an ordinary village, but found
it to be a modern city. He states
that some of the roads leading out
of the city are ideal, while others
are quite bad, especially did he find
the route over which the Mississippi
Valley is to run in very poor condi-
ton, but with the organization the
association has in Bogalusa, among
whom there are several highway en-
thusiasts, there is no question but
that the Mississippi Valley Highway
route will be put in first-class coHdi-
ton at the earliest possible date.
Mr.. Wilson says that the Missis-
sippi Valley Highway is the best
marked and the best organized high
way in the United States, and that
90 per cent of the entire route, from
the Canadian Border to the Gulf Of
Mexico, will be hard surfaced within
fourteen months. This organization
is planning for its annual meeting IN
October, which convenes at Meridian,
Miss. They are expecting two hun
dred automobiles on the "Sociability
Run" These cars will come from
Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky
and Tennessee. II is planned that
they shall come through Meridian be-
fore the convention date, spend one
night in Bogalusa and from thence
to Hammond, where they will camp
for one or two days, visiting New
Orleans by rail. The party will then
go to GulIport and Mobile and from
thence back to Meridian for the con-
vention. There will be a great num-
Der in this party who will be looking
for land, and will make other invest
ments, or hope to do so while on this
trip.
Mr.. Wilson states that he receives
assurance from the Bogalusa club
that the entire city will "dress up"
on the day the party arrives here and
will receive the visitors in true South
ern style.
The highway from Bogalusa to
Lake Pontchartrain by Hammond
will soon be completed Thta part
of the road which runs through
Washington parish will be hte last
finished. It is the hope of the local
club that those in authority in Wash
ington parish will not permit other
parishes to out-distance them too far
in completing this road.
