full and remarkable presentation he
made deep impression on his au-
dience' and Bogalusa Masons are hop
ing they will be afforded an Oppor-,

Medical Examination
for School Children

Every school child in Bogalusa is
to undergo a thorough medical ex-
animation of eyes, ears, teeth and
throat, and it has been announced
that in the event any child needs a
minor operation that it will be per-
formed free Of charge.
This is believed to be the first time
in the history of the schools of
Louisiana that this has been done,
and the fact that minor operations
will be performed free of charge is
most unusual.
The authorities are confident that
if medical attnetion is given now,
that most any minor trouble with the
children can be overcome, for it is
known that the longer an illness or
disease goes without attention the
more serious it becomes.

Fare to New Orleans
Takes 2O@o Increase

1t now costs you two dollars and
seventy-nine cents to ride from b.
galusa to New Orleans, instead of
twO-thirty-two, the new rates having
gone into effect on last Sunday.
This is the raise granted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission sew
eral months ago, but which was not
put into effect owing to the fact that
the State Railroad Commission did
not authorize the INCREASE until few
days ago.
The rates to every point in Louisi-
ana have been increased 20 per cent.
Parlor car and Pullman fares have
likewise advanced.

George MasSee for Rawlins where he
will start serving his term of between
five and seven years.
The decision which caused Gavin's
arrest was handed down recently by
the state supreme court which denied
his petition for an appeal because OF
the insufficiency of his exceptions. 4.
For several days Gavin waited here
to near the decision of the supreme
court. Bond that was provided by
friends here was automatically sus-
pended when the supreme court made
its decision.
Hardness in notifying the sheriff's
office Of the decision necessitated
Gayin's hurried removal to the peni-
tertiary by automobile last night as
the limitations of the statute order
that a cinvicted man must be moved
to the state, pe~nitentiary within ten
days after conviction or after denial
of appeal.
Gavin was formally charged with
the embezzlement of $4,000 in one
count. 1t is said that several counts
could be filed against him and while
,fficial advices are lacking the amount
of his shortages were at times esti-
mated in xce of 10000.
Peculiar cycles OF the case are
shown in the TACT that the county at
torney now is NJ. w. Purcell. who de-
Tended Gavin at the first trial. Mr..
Purcell's office was made inopera-
tive by the decision of the supreme
court and the notice which compelled
Gavin's rearrest was mad by Hal
Curran who was prosecutor at the
time that Gavin was convicted in the
district court. Another angle of the
situation is that Ralph Kimball the
judge who sentenced Gavin is now on
the state supreme court bench and
therefore could not sit in the case.

Inat overtime Is rtGu-
iariy allowed to the county assessor
and the county treasurer and for some
months to the county clerk. This
practice is defended. by the county
commissioners on the grounds that
local conditions are such that It is i'm
possible to retain competent persons
IN .s-.e important offices at the SAL
aries fixed by law.
Other conditions which enter into
the criticism are enumerated. Instead
of a salary OF $62.5o allowed by law
the justice OF the a retains
the fees in lieu of salary. The vas
amount of criminal work It is ex-
planned would make it necessary TO
serve full time and this he could not
do for the monthly stipend allowed.

lowed a stenographer. office rent and

are deemed necessary on account of

says the report.
THE county has provided the shcr.
iff with an automobile for his official
use yet on making trips to points
away from the county zeal the sher-
iff has rendered bills for these trips in
addition to the use OF the county car.
When this charge was questioned by
the county commissioners the sheriff
cloimed the money as mileage allowed

1T was noted" says the report.
that for assisting in the canvas Of
votes OF the late special election coun-
~ clerk made a charge of $1,000. As
this is part OF her official duty. the
charge is an illegal one regardless Of
the fact thot it has been allowed

"Other departments than those mem
toned have large expense, an amount
hat seems Unnecessary. but which
must be left to the discretion OF the
county commissioners to decide upon
the merits of each case.
THE estimated county expense for
the present year was fixed at $685.
900 of which 1t was estimated that
$4,000 would be necessary to pay
outstanding Indebtedness brought
over from 1920. leaving the sum of

year 1921.
