MIR. and Mrs. Cooke
Leave for California

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter P. Cooke, Of
Buffalo, N. Y, accompanied by Miss
Jane Keller, visited Bogalusa for a
few days last week, stopping at the
Pine Tree Inn.
Mr.. Cooke, whoeis wen known here
as director of the Great Southern
Lumber Company, spent part Of
the time going over business matters,
but while here he, as vel as the other
members of the party, took advan-
tage of the splendid weather to spend
as much time as possible out of doors,
the warm climate being a welcome
change from the cold winds Of the
North.
Mr.. Cooke is an enthusiastic golf
player and enjoyed our links to
the utmost, as it has been too bleak
in the North to allow indulgence in
this game.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke viii proceed
from here to California for about a
months stay, while Miss Keller re-
turns to her home in the East.

USUAL DAY IN LIFE
OF A BOGALUSA COW

Left home early this morning and
stopped in front Of a pretty home on
one of the avenues, found several
rose bushes ready to bloom and left
in few minutes. Rosebuds are GER
tainly good eating.
Went up the street a little way
and came to the Y. w. G. A. Gate
was left open and took that for an
invitation to enter, found lots Of
ferns setting out on the porch that
tasted pretty fair, but flower bed in
front yard received the greater part
of my attention. The gardeners
chased me out of there, but left'my
marks before / went.
Met some children on the way to
school and l was feeling so frisky
that / just had, to play with them q
little by chasing them up the street.
It wasn't my fault that one of the
little girls fell and cut her head
pretty badly.
Time seemed to hang on my hands,
so took in another, park Sure trim
med the hedges up for the city and
managed to put away a. few palm
trees before noon. Bogal1sa people
are surely aecommod dating, they plant
trees and flowers especially for US,
it seems.
At 1 o'clock the children were re-
turning to school, / picked up few
friends and had some more fun
frightening them.
Entered an alley and found gar
bage cans setting out-some fun IN
turning these over and searching for
bones to chew on; also found back
gate open which offered chance for
a little exploring.
In the evening | returned home
and gave about pint of milk tony
owners. He seems to think / ought
to produce like a thoroughbred Hol-
stein on rubbish and leaves from
otherl peoples yards.
Out on the street again / ran into
bunch Of dogs that chased me up
the street several blocks, barking and
biting at my heels. Half an hour
later some boys stoned me.
After dark I lay down in the mid
die Of the street to reast awhile, and
had lots of fun making cars go
around to keep from hitting me. One
little car did and almost broke the
drivers neck as well as his machine.
Returned home early in the morn
ing for another round of pleasure.

LINEN SHOWER

At A o'clock Saturday afternoon
number of Mrs. Frank Sullivan's
friends gathered at the Y. w. G. A..
and surprised her with linen show
err. During the course of the after
noon a contest was given in which
each lady was asked to write a recipe,
a household hint and the answer to
ten charades.
Mrs. Pownall and Miss Inez BLANCHE
ard tied for first place. In the
drawing, Miss Blanchard was the
lucky one.
The basket, filled to Overlooking
with gift parcels, was then brought
in, and proved to contain many beau

joyed the opening Of the parcels as
much as the recipient.

ing of delicious punch and cake.

Canning Factory
Can Be Secured

If the business men of Bogalusa
will put their money into canning
factory, one Of the most successful
managers in the South can be secured
to manage the plant and at an execu-
tive meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce held Monday night a commit
tee composed of DR.. ]. Fl. Slaughter,
]. A. Spekenhier and P. w. Lindsey
was appointed to talk with the bust
ness men and farmers on. the advisa-
bility Of building such a plant.
The gentleman who would be man
ager, and whose name is withheld at
this time, gave q very frank state
ment regarding the proposition and
said that many canning factories were
failures, but that in his seventeen
years Of experience he had never lost
on single plant.
In his opinion, sweet potatoes
would be the one crop this section
would have to depend upon. Black
berries, he said, have a big market
and could be canned early IN the
season, also green beans. IL local
stockholders desired, red beans and
pork and beans, could be successfully
canned here, the beans being shipped
in. He stated it would be q mistake
to attempt to can molasses or pickles
as these required special equipment
and knowledge.
The farmers would be required to
raise certain kind of sweet potato
and it would be necessary to con-
Tract for 800 acres before q plant
could be a success. The price which
would be paid this year would be As
cents bushel. Several members
thought this price Low. and that farm
ers could not raise sweet potatoes at
a profit at that price, but it was ex-
planned that sweet potatoes at As
cents when dug was a better price
than S1.0O at this season of the year.
| Secretary P. W. Lindsey proved in
the. members present that he was well
posted on the canning industry as
well as the raising of crops which
would prove most beneficial to the
farmers. That Bogalusa must do
something to attract the farmers, to
help them dispose of cash crops, was
most forcibly set out at the meeting.
If such a plant was built, it would
operate three to SIX months year,
giving employment to about seventy
five people and pay out many thou
sands Of dollars each year to farm
eFs for truck.
The committee is busy interview
ing business men and merchants and
expects to be ready with report
at an early date.

successfully, but this year he is de-
termined to put the fastest semi-pro
team in the state playing for Boga-
lusa. Arrangements are being made
to provide jobs during the summer
for eligible players and number of
fans have promised to keep their eyes
open for likely timber"
When the Browns leave here in
April, two of the finest parks to be
found anywhere in the country will
be left on our hands and unless

after seeing major league clubs in
action.
If the fans will stick by me, I'll
promise to turn out a real bAebalI
club, or else not charge single cent
for admission, were the words Of
the new manager.
If you are a ball player yourself,
or know of anyone who is, get in
touch with G. L. Black and get your
name on the list of eligible players.

N. o. G. N. SHOPS
CLOSE TUESDAY

The shops Of the N. o. G. N. rail
roda closed down Wednesday, until
further notice, about 200 men being
affected. This was necessary, it was
announced, owing 70 the fact that
the railroad has been losing consid-
cradle money for the past several
months.
The force was reduced a month
ago, but. sufficient work was found to
keep a number of the men busy. Dur
ing the past month conditions failed
to improve and the closing of the
shops became necessary.
Last week when President Good
year was here it was decided the
shops, including the round house, ma
chine, blacksmith, car and paint de-
partments, be closed until business
showed a marked improvement.

Troop Interest Waning
For Lack of Uniforms

Work of overhauling the Armory
is progressing rapidly, and one Of the
troopers has been busy the past few
days with a horse and plow making
over the parade ground. AS soon as
the field has been plowed up it will
be scraped and graded.
Interest in the troop is beginning
to wane, owing to the non-appearanee
Of either uniforms, equipment or
mounts. Captain Lindsey is pulling
all wires available in his endeayor
to hasten the arrival of the much
needed paTaphernalia, but so far his
efforts have been unavailing.

CALL ISSUED FOR
SPECIAL SESSION
CONGRESS TO MEET APRIL II AND
RECEIVE REcoMMENDATIo
FROM NEW ADMIN STRATION.
Tariff and Tax Issues to Head SEES
sion Work, But Other Important
Subjects Are to Be Passed on
When Lawmakers Meet.

Washington.-A formal call for al
extra session of congress, to meet
April IL and receive legislative rec
concentration from the. new admins
tration, was issued on March % by
President Harding.
None of the specific problems were
named in the proclamation, the presi-
dent merely declaring an extraordi-
nary occasion required that congress
convene ito receive such communion
ton as may be made by the execu-
tive"
Mr.. Harding already has Indicated,
however, that the tariff and taxation
will be foremost in his message. He is
expected to make q plea for prompt
relief to the nations agricultural in
terests, and the list of recommended
lions may touch many other subjects,
such as the railroad situation, the
merchant marine and immigration.
One recommendation relative to re-
construction measures within the gov
eminent machine he is expected to sug-
gest Is the creation OF a general g-1tI
mission to dispose of many kinds of
property acquired by government
agencies during the war. Whether
the message will touch on foreign re-
lations is matter of speculation, but |
the president has indicated his pri- |
mary desire is that the session work |
out plan of governmental and indus
trial rehabilitation at home.
A program has been discussed at
between the president and
congress leaders, and although defi-
mite decisions are to be made, feel
ing of confidence is manifest that there
will be working ayr. ment that will
expedite legislative business from the
start.
Some of the presidents friends be-
ieve he will follow the custom of
President Wilson in delivering his ]
message in person.

.LEN|NE APPEALS
FOR RECOGNITION
MAKES ovERTUREs TO UNITED
STATES TO RESUME TRADE
RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA.
Soviet Leader Asks for Conference on
the Question and Promises to
Exclude America From Revo-
lutionary Propaganda.

! Westinghouse by the
United States of the question of re-
Stunning trade relations with the Rus
sian soviet government appeared pos
sibility Wednesday wien the state de-
partment announced receipt of mes
sage from Lenine, Russian leader, APP
pealing for a conference and announc-
ing that he stood ready to send an of
fetal delegation to negotiate an agree
ment to that end.
Government officials were careful
NOT TO commit themselves as to the
coarse that may be taken, but there
were indications that the closest
scrutiny had been given the British
Russian trade agreement, and that a
somewhat broader Interpretation had
been given regulations that defined the
Wilson's administration policy in deal
ing with the Bolsheviki.
The Russian appeal, which, in pro-
posing the opening of trade relations,
said for that purpose the relations
between the two republics have to be,
on the whole, regularized,' was issued
without comment Ifwas> addressed to
congress and President Harding, and
an arraignment of President
Wilson for his Russian policy. The
hope was expressed that the United
States would not continue to follow
the course taken by
President Wilson, who, the note de-
clared, without cause and without any
declaration of war;" attacked Russia,
md showed a growing hostility to-
ward the Russian republic"
With the proposal to send an official
the note contained what |
vas construed as promise to exclude |
he United States from it's field of |
evolutionary propaganda. 'The soviet |
epublic, absorbed in the work of in |
ernal reconstruction and building up |
IS economic life," the note said, 'has
ot the intention of intervening in the
Internal affairs of America, and the
ll-Russian central executive commit
ee makes herewith categorical
eclaration to this effect"
