ceptional evenings entertainment has

Thrift Campaign
Begins January Y

The Bogalusa Y. M. CA. is begin
ming a Thrift Campaign with the CO.
operation of banking institutions,
trade organizations and business as
sociations, for the purpose of bring
ing before the citizens of Bogalusa
a comprehensive definition of the
value of thriftiness. A National
Thrift Week Committee will bring
this before the entire country and
the week of January II to % has
been officially designated as Thrift
Week.
A committee composed Of some of
the most enterprising citizens will
have charge of the campaign, which
will include speaking in the schools
of the city, the picture show, shops
and offices and a great deal of adj
vertising. The committee composed
of J. G. Mills, chairman; W. M. Bah
ington, o. B. Magee, Charles Cohen
and B. D. Talley has already started
to work and the ads of the First
State Bank, Washington Bank and
Trust Company and the Bogalusa
Building and Loan Association are
the opening guns in the campaign to
encourage the Ten Point Financial
Greed, which is as follows:
Work and earn; make a budget;
record expenditures; have a bank &C
count; carry life insurance; own your
own home; make a will; invest in re-
liable securities; pay your bills
promptly; share with others.
The anniversary of Benjamin
birthday has been fittingIy
chosen as the opening day for this
great work and picture Of Franklin
will be the sign of the week.
Wouldn't you like to know, posi-
lively, that in case of sickness or
some other distress, a friend with
money would see you through? That's
exactly the kind of friend you make
for yourself when you build up a saw
ings account. A friend from whom
you have the right to take money
when desperately in need Of it, and
from whom you can borrow without
having to mortgage yourself to pay
it back.
No man knows the thrill of proud
possession until he acquires his own
home. Can you, as right thinking
man, be comfortable, having the
thought that you have provided shell
ter for your family for only thirty
days ahead? You handle the door
knob more gently, you cross the |
with a reverence for all |
that home means, and you feel the
manhood of having done what a real
man should do when you provide your
family with home to which you hold |
the title.
These and many other lessons will
be brought before the public during
Thrift Week.

Basketball Game With
Y. M. C. c. of New Orleans

The first basketball game of the
season will be played Saturday night
at the Y. M. C. A, when Coach
Poches' star Y. NJ. G. C. team of
New Orleans will play against the
local Y. NJ. C. A
The visiting team is one of the best
in New Orleans and already has a
long list of victories to its credit.
Notwithstanding this fact, Coach
Rogers is confident that the local
team can outshine the visitors and,
considering the supply of basketball
material at hand from which to Sc
lect team, it is highly probable that
this confidence is not misplaced.
Whatever the result Of the game,
the match will be one of the best that
Bogalusa fans have ever witnessed.
With such guards as Underwood,
Smith, Crane and others to represent
the local teams, and players of equal
ability opposing the local forwards,
the scores on either side should be
very small and the few goals that are
made will be well earned.
The lineup of the local team has
not been announced and Mr.. Rogers
states that the best men at the final
practice Friday night will be chosen
to represent the Y. NJ. C. A.

Fined $500 and
Gets Sixty Days

Hon. o. H. Carter of Franklinton,
acting judge of the City Court of
Bogalusa in the absence of Judge G.
Ellis OFT, faced one of the heaviest
dockets in the history of the city
Tuesday morning. No court has been
held since Judge Otis illness of sew
eral weeks ago and the number of
cases brought before the court was
exceptionally large.
One of the first sentences passed
by Judge Carter was a fine of $500
and sixty days in Jail for the manu-
facture and sale Of intoxicating Ii
quors, which, under the new Hood
law, is a maximum sentence. A half
dozen cases of like nature were heard
and sentences ranging from a 800
fine and ten days in jail were i'm
posed.
John Lono of near Columbia street
drew the heavy fine and Jail sem
tence. Will Brooks Of Richardson
town drew a similar fine and SEN
tence.
About twenty speeders also faced
the judge, all but three pleading
guilty to the charge of violating the
traffic regulations. Court was in
morning until 3 in the afternoon,
with a recess for lunch at noon.

81, 500, 900 A MONTH
BENEFIT TO PUBLIC

The public will save approximately
S1,500,000 a month as a result Of the
elimination of the war tax on express
shipments, according to W H. Cox,
the local express agent.
The Revenue Act of 1921 elimi-
mates the war tax of one cent on
every twenty cents and fractions
thereof in transportation charges on
all express shipments. This tax dur
ing the year of 1920 amounted to
$17,502,918. The average transport
tation charge for each express ship
ment was approximately $3.50 and
the average war tax for each ship
ment was eight cents. The elimina-
ton of the tax, therefore, will vir-
tually amount to a decrease in rates
of a little over 5 per cent, which will
have a tendency to stimulate bust
ness and thereby accelerate the rap
idly improving conditions throughout
the entire country.

Bogalusa Made Great Progress
During Year 1921 Despite Business
Depression Outlook Bright for 1922

February, 1921, put Bogalusa on the
sporting map and many cities of the
country that had not known of the
existence of the Magic City kept their
eyes on Bogalusa durin gthe Browns
stay here and after their departure
listened to the praises of the city as
sung by the spring campaigners.
Sports in general were given an
added impetus by the visit of the big
leaguers and many Bogalusans are
awaiting with awakened interest their
return next month.
The forestry platform advocated
by the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany has done a great deal toward
putting BOgalusa before the indus
trial world, and has been chosen as
model example for the reforesta-
ton program for the entire country.
The city has been visited by almost
every prominent forestry and lum-
ing man in the United States. The
United States Chamber of Commerce
sent its forestry committee here to
inspect and report on the reforesta-
ton plans of the Great Southern
Lumber Company and went away en-
Unused with the work and the recep-
ton. rendered them.
The first Summer Forestry Camp
for the state was held in Bogalusa
during the month of June, and on
July 9th the city entertained 200
members Of the State Forestry AS
ISOLATION at the camp.
Four thousand acres of fenced for
est land was dedicated in May to the
20 Washington parish boys who died
in the service of the United States
during the World War. This was the
first dedication of a tract in honor
of the heroic dead made in this coun-
try.
As a convention city, Bogalusa was
almost as popular as New Orleans.
The Business and Professional Wom-
ems Clubs from every city in the
state met here in June and a number
Of BOgalusa women were honored
with high offices. The Louisiana De-
partment of the American Legion
met here in October and Bogalusa
was unanimously voted the premier
convention city" by the delegates;
everyone in the city extended them
selves to make the convention a sue
cess and succeeded. The New Or
leans District Methodist Ministers
met here in April and were accorded
a royal reception. The laymen of the
Baptist churches of the state also
met here during the summer.
Members of the Bogalusa Chamber
Of Commerce attended the National
Meeting of the Mississippi Valley
Association in October and
made an effort to secure the conven-
ton for this city, but without sue
cess. However, they have a tenta-
tive promise of securing the meeting
for 1928. The State Baptist conven-
ton will meet here, however, and a |
number of other prominent meetings
are booked for this year.
A touring party of fifty persons |
coming from Chicago and other |
points of Illinois visited here for sew |
eral days on their trip from Chicago |
TO New Orleans, via the Highway.

Bogalusa greeted the New Year
Sunday morning better equipped than
ever before. Every industry in the
city at work, excellent streets, water
service, the most modern High School
IN the state and many other improve
ments have been made during the
past year and 1922 bids fair to be
a banner year in the history of the
South's Magic City.
The improvement in the industrial
conditions of Bogalusa are the most
noteworthy achievements of the past
few months. Every industry in the
city is going full blast now. The Bo-
galusa Paper Co. closed down in
1920, reopened in April, 1921, and
kept adding men from time to time
until every machine was put to work /;
the hardwood mill at the north end
of the city and the veneer mill at the
south end both closed during the bus
mess depression of the fall of 1920,
but began operation several months
ago with a full force of men. The
N. o. G. N. car shops and the G. S. L.
shops are working and employ many
men. The sawmill and its subsidiaries
are all at work.
The building of 80 miles of fine
graveled streets began in November,
1920, and the work was completed
last week, and the city can now boast
Of streets equal to any in this sec
ton.
With the installation of the big
pumps at the city pump station and
the extension of water mains and
sewers to the different parts of the
city, Bogalusa is the equal of any
place its size in this respect.
The dedication of the new $780,
600 High School on February 5th
placed Bogalusa in the front rank of
the cities of Louisiana whose educa-
tional facilities are most noteworthy.
On the day Of the dedication, Gov
ernOr Parker, Mayor McShane of New
Orleans, Judges Foster and O'Neil of
the Supreme Court, Supt. Of Educa-
ton, Harris, Senators Fontenot and
j Johnson, and many other prominent
people were the guests of the city.
The grade and ward schools erected
and put to use in 1920 help to show
how greatly the city is interested in

rendered the farmers of the
vicinity in marketing and disposing
of their produce through the EARN
ers' Division" under the leadership Of

were pledged for the initial expert

Bridge Steel Work
Starts Next Week

Steel for the draw bridge across
Pearl river at the foot of Louisiana
avenue has begun to arrive and it is
expected that within one week the
erection Of the steel work will begin.
1t is estimated that it will require
from four to six weeks to complete
the steel construction and two weeks
later it is believed the bridge will be
ready for dedication to public use.
The completion of the bridge will
mean more to this vicinity than any
Improvement in this line in many
years, as it will connect Louisiana
and Mississippi on the most travelled
road connecting the two states. It
will result in hundreds of tourists
coming through Bogalusa hereafter,
that heretofore have taken another
route. It will also afford the citizens
of Washington parish and Pearl River
county the opportunity to become
better acquainted and will likewise
afford a fine motor trip to the Gulf
Coast.
The building of this bridge is due
largely to the efforts of ]. H. Cassidy,
who devoted much time and money
to promoting the improvement, in CO.
operation with the members of the
Washington Parish Police Jury and
the Board of Supervisors of Pearl
River County, Mississippi.
A model gravel road has been built
to the bridge on the Louisiana side
and it is rumored the Pearl river bot
tom on the Mississippi side will be
greatly improved so that the road can
be travelled at flood stage.
