to plant, grow and harvest various
crops will be shown Saturday evening
at 7:3O in the Auditorium of the
new High School building. The pic
lures, which are furnished and shown

States Department of Agriculture,
will be of especial interest to the
farmers of this section who are con-
templating the planting and harvest
ing Of a strawberry crop this year.
Five reels compose the exhibit and
the fact that one Of the reels is de-
voted exclusively to the planting,
sorting and harvesting of berries will
be of much benefit to the farmers
who are making their maiden effort
in berry raising.
The pictures will be shown at An
gle Friday afternoon OF 2:30; in Var
nado on Friday at 7:30 p. m. and in
the High School in Bogalusa on Sat-

STREET BUILDING
TO STOP DEC,1

E. R. Cassidy and J. P. Starns, of
the street building comphttee, re-
ported, at the meeting IF the Com
mission Council Tuesday, that over
three miles of street<fnore than their
program called fdV had been built.
City Engineer Willis stated that
there were a few streets that he
would like to complete and on the
approval of Mayor Sullivan the street
building will continue until Deem
Der l. Mr.. Willis will then use a
part of his crew in keeping the
streets in good condition. The
mileage of the streets has steadily
grown until Mr.. Willis had his hands
full in building new streets and prop
erly looking after those already
built. He expects to have every
gravelled street in the city in per-
feet condition within a short time, it
being considered unwise to place the
streets in perfect condition while the
heavy hauling goes on over certain
streets. The fact that the city got
three miles more streets than was
estimated for the money shows how
economically the work was carried
on. Messrs. Cassidy and Starns as
well as Mr.. Willis, were congratulate
ed on the work.

THINK TWICE BEFORE
YOU DRIVE INTO GATE

Some of the automobile drivers of
Bogalusa evidently thought that the
gates across the tracks at Fourth
street were just to knock down. In
two weeks the gates have been
knocked down four times and it cost
the N. o. G. N. 500 to replace them.
Inasmuch as the gates are not low
cred until there is a train approach
ing some drivers did not seem to APP
preciate the warning which was Civ
en- them. It will hereafter cost the
party who breaks down the gate $50
and in the event Judge OFT thinks it
necessary he has the privilege of add
ing as much as so days in Jail to any
guilty party.

cadets is making the initial ar
rangements for classes. Those who
are interested may get in touch with
her.
Miss Mercadel's wonderful accom-
plishments with children, from two
and a half years of age on up, are
matters of dancing history. Moth
ers of Bogalusa are indeed fortunate
in being given the opportunity of
placing their young daughters I'M
der the best instructor the land af-
fords.

has not been definitely arranged, the
general plan is as follows:
Children's class, Saturday morn
ing, IL o'clock.

PROCLAMATION
MAYORALTY OF BOGALUSA
City Hall, November 7th, 1921
To the People of Bogalusa ::

To the People of Bogalusa:
We want to ask-Do you, as citizens of Bo-
galusa, realize that you have fine, well-equipped
school buildings? Do you realize that these
buildings were erected at great cost and are the
very best in the state? Do you realize that the
corps of teachers of the City Schools are the
very best in the state of Louisiana? Do you
realize that these teachers cannot be successful
in instructing the children of Bogalusa unless
they have your hearty cooperation? That the
people Of Bogalusa, as a whole, are interested
in furthering the schools is evidenced by the fact
of the buildings but the interest of the people
should not stop at the mere erection of the build
ings but should be further evidenced by visiting
the schools.
The teachers have asked the city authorities
to request that all parents visit the schools in
their section of the city, or where their children
are attending school, on the 21st 22d, or 23rd of
November. These days are set aside as visit
ing days, and as Mayor of the City, 1 especially
urge that all patrons Of the schools comply with
the teachers and be present on one of the days
above mentioned You will find Yourself well
come at any hour between $3.50 a. m. and 100
p. m. I am sure that if the patrons know more
about the school system, it will not only prove
helpful to the city but of lasting benefit to the
children
Thus done and signed at my office in the
City Hail. City of Bogalusa, Louisiana, this, the
: 18th day of November, 1921.
