Cotton May Go to Csc
a Pound and Higher

Cotton is either prince or pauper,
and right now is brushing its hair
and putting on new clothes, prepar-
ing to step up to the throne.
Let US warn holders of cotton to
refrain from dumping if on the mar
ket, which might create short pc
riod of over-supply and tend to de-
press values. A gradual marketing is
in order, as every cotton growing who
sold his product under the actual cost
of production to him, is entitled to
substantial profits on the future sales
in order to be reimbursed for his loss.
In our opinion, cotton will go to
Csc per pound and might go higher,
and this section will indirectly feel
the benefit of the advance in this
staple.

Buck Jones Puts On
''Mitts" With Kid Mccoy

Buck Jones declared he was physi-
cally gift" after he had completed
the making of straight From the
Shoulder" the picture that will be
shown at the Magic City Theater to-
night Thursday, September Is. He
had in his cast in this picture Nor
man Selby, whom the pugilistic world
knows as "Kid" Mccoy and who at
one time was a much-feared contend
err for the HEAVYWEIGHT championship
title. The 'Kid" played the part OF
''Wild Bill" Higgins, and ne did It
well. But every day, after the stage
work was over, he and the William
Fox star would get into the Fox GYM
nasiun on the Hollywood studio lot
put on the gloves until the perspira-
ton ran freely and then get under
the shower.
Sometimes, too, Tom Mix, who is
quite a boxer and has "put up his
dukes" before such men as Jack
Dempsey lin a friendly bout, OF
course), would box a few rounds
with Mccoy.
At the end of the picture Mccoy
declared he felt as if he had had
training enough to go into the ring
and try out Dempsey himself.
"Straight from the Shoulder" is
not McCoy's first attempt in pic
lures. He is gathering a reputation
in Los Angeles as an actor.
The t'Kid" admitted that both the
Fox stars named are handy men with
the gloves.

STREET BUILDING TO
HALT IN OCTOBER

Unless there is money available
from some source the building of
good streets in BogaIusa will come to
a halt sometime during October. The
work has been in progress for about
one year and many miles of gravelled
streets have been built. It is expect
ed, however, that shortly after the
first of the year that the work will
again be resumed, as taxes will then
be payable.
City Engineer Willis has a good
winters work ahead of his crew to
keep the new streets in condition, as
the heavy rains of the fall and win
ter will cause more or less damage,
and it is the plan Of Mr.. Willis to go
over the roads after each rain.

Handsome Booklet
On Bogalusa Is Out

The handsome new booklet "Boga-
lusa" is just off the press and is one
of the finest that has ever been print
ed about any city. The cover page is
a four-color piece of work, while the
81 pages give a hundred or more
views of the city, besides some inter
esting facts about Bogalusa.
The booklet will be of interest to
every citizen. The cost of printing,
which amounted to several hundred
dollars, was paid for by the Great
Southern Lumber Company, and it
should easily prove the greatest pub
licity feature in the city's history,

Many of the men embarrassed by
the erroneous inclusion of their
names are ex-service men and legion
members with honorable records.
Their embarrassment has been but
temporary. however, as the errors
have been quickly righted.
Friends. relatives and neighbors
know who served and who did not
serve their country and newspapers
have quickly made amends for unin-
territorial injury at the hands of the
government Legion posts throughout
the country stand ready to assist in
clearing up any confusion. 1t has not
been source OF bitterness to vet
Grams to be temporarily classed with
the slackers. At most it has been an
annoying experience. The bitterness,
the anger and shame are felt only by
the real slackcrs. the men whose
names are on the lists and will stay
there.
II believe that nine out OF ten ex-
service men are willing to be slightly
and temporarily embarrassed If they
feel that the slackers of the country
are, at the same time. being rightful-
ly and permanently embarrassed, the
more quickly since errors are being
quickly cleared up by individuals and
by the American Legion and similar
organizations.
"As matter of fact, publication
of these lists gives the opportunity
OF forever clearing the names OF the
men who served, which otherwise
might through error be stained
Newspapers are doing patriotic ser
vice in printing the lists, for it is OF
the utmost importance that the rec
ords be Immediately and finally
cleared. Even though unavoidable err
rors occur, the American Legion is
firm in believing that the Stacker lists
must receive the full light of publ
city. Only through publication can
the innocent be completely and final
ly vindicated."
