Modern LuncEroom
for New High School

AS soon as the new High School
is ready for occupancy next month,
the Y. w. C. A. will institute a school
lunch room for the benefit of the
scholars and teachers and will serve
an excellent lunch at cost not to
exceed Is cents.
The Y. w. C. A., through Miss Eve
Ign DeLoney, general secretary, has
been planning on the lunch room for
several months and permission has
been obtained to use the manual
training room on the ground FLOOR
for this purpose.
A woman viii be placed in charge
Of the lunch room to attend TO the
cooking and serving Of the meals,
which are to be on the cafeteria
style. Miss DeLoney will attend to
the purchasing of supplies. The
lunches to be served will be we'll
balanced, consisting of hot vegetable
soup, meat, potatoes, bread and but
ter one day, and steak or meat OF
some sort, spaghetti with tomato
sauce, ETC., for the next day.
The Y. w. @. A. will not profit
one penny from the lunch room, IS
all money realized will be used to
defray expenses and the balances
turned back into the School Lunch
Fund for future use.
The idea is an exceptionally good
one when it is considered that the
majority of the pupils will come
from South Bogalusa, too far distant
to go home for lunch, and the hot
meal will be convenience forfsonlq
$50 scholars and teachers.

While here. After seeing our fine

local salesman of the Great South

exerted himself in an effort to have
the owners of the st. Louis club give
BOgalusa due consideration as a

The fact that the St. Louis Browns
have chosen Bogalusa as their spring

much to the sport in this section.

100 NEW PHONES
PUT INTO SERVICE

Since the installation of the new
telephone service here a few weeks
ago one hundred new phones have
been connected to the switbroard
and Manager Parnell expects to in
crease it another hundred within the
next sixty or ninety days.
Many who have orders for phones
cannot get them just now On. account
Of it being necessary to run new
lines and this cannot be done with
out authority from the New Orleans
office. 1t is expected that by the
end of the present year one thousand
phones will be connected with the To-
cal exchange, Niving Bogalusa one of
the largest hst1 of subscribers of any
city in the state.

SAFE BLOWN OPEN
AT WARE SHOALS
Burglars Get $125 from Saluda Mer-

Enter Y. M. c. A.
Building.

The second safe robbery in the
county this year occurred at Ware
Shoals about five o'clock this morn
ing when the safe of the Saluda Mer-
camille Company was blown open and
S125 in cash was stolen. The rob-
bers attempted to enter the Y. M. C
A. Building also but failed in the
attempt, according to reports to Mr.
Paul Ellis, one of the owners of the
Saluda Mercantile Company.
Several weeks ago a quantity of
dynamite and nitro-glycerine was
stolen from a ware house in Ware
Shoals. The same thieves are be-
lieved to have committed the robbery
this morning but officers have no
clue to the guilty persons A few
weeks ago the combination on the
safe in J. R. Tarrant's store on Cam
bridge street was used to open his
safe and about $50 being taken by
the burglars. No trace of the thieves
has ever been found and officers be-
lieve they are professionals who

NEW COTTON PICKER
SHOWN HERE IN
MOVIES
Picker Said to Gather 5000 Pounds
Cotton Each Day-Four Men
Assist in Work-Mr. Pear
son Interested in
Machine

James T. Pearson, Of Anderson
was here Monday. Mr.. Pearson is in
terested in a cotton picker, which he
claims will solve the cotton picking
question which every fall worries the
people who produce the feecy staple
A moving picture of the machine
in action was shown by Manager
Verchot Monday evening to a num-
Der of people interested in the oper-
alton of the picker. The machine is
propelled by it's own power, and
works on the principle of a vacuum
cleaner. Four lines of hose, several
feet in length, with nozzles at the
end go out from the rear Of the ma
chine. Each of these nozzles is man.
aged by man who places the noz-
zle to the open boil, and draws in the
cotton.
The cotton is gathered in bag at
the side of the machine, the bag held
ing seventy-fve pounds of cotton.
The machine must be equipped with
plenty of these bags as the four men
and the machine are expected to
gather about five thousand to six
thousand pounds of cotton each day.
The machine was shown in opera
ton in a field of long staple cotton,
which is said to be harder to pick
than ordinary cotton. The cotton
plants were large and the field was
thick with weeds. Trash IS kept out
of the cotton by the man who oper-
ates the nozzle. He places the nozzle
on the boil of cotton in such way
as to avoid taking up the trash.
Mr.. Pearson stated to a represen-
tative of the Press and Banner that
one of the machines had been shipped
to him and he expected to receive it
and have it in operation by the time
another crop of cotton is gathered.
The machine will be exhibited in op-
Grafton in Anderson County cotton
fields, he said. The machine may be
received in time to gather some of
the cotton now in the fields of An
derson County, and which the farm
ers are having trouble to get gath
cred.

HARDING BACKS
RESERVE BOARD
President-Elect Sustains Governor
Harding-Opinion From Marion
is That Farmer Should
Take Medicine.

Washington, Jan. 4.-President-
elect Harding indorses the policy
which the federal reserve board has
pursued and is pursuing, the policy
which certain members of congress
and many farmers have severely
criticized.
This statement is confirmed to-
night by w. P. G. Harding, govern
or of the federal reserve board, who
after having visited Marion, re-
turned to Washington today. Gov
ernor Harding was invited to Mar
ion by the president-elect, who was
anxious to know exactly what the fed
eral reserve board had done and was
contemplating doing.
II laid the case before the presi-
dent-elect,' Governor Harding said.
Il told him what the situation was
last year and how we met it. l told
him of improved conditions which
now exist. In the end he agreed thai
the policy which we have pursued
was one of wisdom. He was of the
opinion that the farmer, along with
every other individual, must take his
medicine in the process of price re-
adjustment. He stressed the fact that
his sympathies were with the farm
er."
Governor Harding was asked if he
thought the country was destined to
undergo an era of "hard. times" He
committed himself only to the extent
of declaring that the 'greatest dan
ger had been obviated." He was then
asked if there really had been time
since the war when danger of ma
tional financial collapse was immi-
nent. In answering, he cited a chart
showing the trend of credits in 1920.
and declaring that unless halt had
been called "everything would have
gone to smash, including the federal
reserve banks"
Governor Harding though aware
of the criticism to which he had been
subjected, is apparently not per-
turbed. 81 am not in politics. he
said, "and can afford to sit rigidly
on this job and administer it just as
if it were an individual bank. |
hardly think that any one doubts but
that in a financial sense I could bet
ter myself elsewhere"
