TENT SHOW COMING
MONDAY FOR WEEK

The ]. G. O'Brien Stock Company,
which will open a weeks engagement
in Bogalusa Monday, May 20, under
the auspices Of the local post Of the
American Legion, comes to BOgalusa
highly recommended by the press Of
Hammond, La, McComb, Miss, and
Crystal Springs, Miss, where they
have recently played.
This company is said to be one Of
the very best Of its kind playing the
Southern states. A feature connectd
with this company that is somewhat
different from the other travelling
tent shows of this kind is the fact
that they do not give concerts or
after shows, but give three big con-
cert vaudeville specialties every night
between the acts, thereby eliminating
any long, tedious waits. The show
is continuous from the rise of the
curtain on the first act until it goes
down on the last act-therefore when
one leaves the tent at night, every
thing has been seen with no extra
charge for concerts.
The prices charged by this company
are within the reach of everyone, as
their tent is one Of the largest even
seen in. this city, and they depend
upon large crowds at small prices.
Their date to play Bogalusa, as was
announced in the last issue, will be
Monday night, May %, and the rest
of the week. Large crowds no doubt
will attend the O'Brien plays during
their visit to this city. .......

ONE SMALL BENEFIT
FROM THE OVEREI OW

One small benefit that will be oh
served in the districts affected after
the subsistence of the flood will he the
restocking Of the fresh water streams
and lakes with fish. The Mississippi
river is not a fishing stream, but it's
water contains millions. Of game fish.
which do not bite in its waters be-
cause they cannot see the bait. New
ertheless, the great river is one OF the
best stocked streams anywhere. and
abounds in many varieties of fish.
This is shown by the millions of fish
which are rescued from the borrow
pits after each high water period, and
in the pools Of the various gwampg
In which the Mississippi flows every
year. The Conservation Department
of Louisiana sends out rescue parties
to save these fish marOoned in the
borrow pits and the Federal govern
ment carries on the work after on
much greater scale. In former years
these fish persisted miserably as the
pits dried up, but now they are either
returned to the main stream or are
used by the Conservation Department
to r~stock other waters Of the State.
The principal fresh water fish res
cuod are large-mouthed black bass,
crappie (sac-a-lait), strawberry or cal
leo bass (closely related to the crap
pie), rock bass, Yarmouth bass, white
bass, yellow bass and several Varie-
ties OF sunfish, commonly called perch.
Last year there were 100, 1856, 40 fish
rescued from the overflow by the Fed,
eral government and many thousands
by the Louisiana department. When
the water bursts through the leveea
and food the adjacent territory these
river fish are taken through the breaks
and left in the lakes and streams into
which the Mississippi water flows. The
overflow OF 1912 left an abundance Of
fish in all the waters affected by the
breaks, and the same phepomenon will
be observed this year.

OUTLAW ANIMALS IN LOUISIANA

There is a widespread impression
that the conservation laws of tbs State
protect all wild birds and mammals in
sae closed season. and that It is unlaw-
ruI to kill any Of the wild animals in
the State during that period. This ID
error. There are several animals and
some birds that may be hunted through
out the year by any one possessing a
hunting license, and some of this wild
life placed outside the pale by the con.
servation laws should provide good
sport Some birds and animals have
been classed as undesirables by the
Conservation Department Of the State,
and either laws enacted by the Legis-
lature or regulations of the depart.
ment, under the law, have made these
wild creatures outlaws.
Following is list Of the wild life
outlawed in Louisiana. The selection
of the outlaws is not necessarily per-
feet in all respects, in that it includes
birds that may do more good than
harm, in some cases, and excludes
other creatures that should probably
be placed under the ban. The outlaws
in Louisiana are: Cormorant, or mig
ger GOOSE" Cooper's hawk, or big
blue darter; sharp-shinned hawk, or
little blue darter; turkey buzzard and
black vulturs, or "carrior crow" great

ATHLETICS 6;

Locals Win First Game in Cham
piOnship Series in Ten
Innings.

Innings.
The Lexington Athletics won
the first game of the champion
ship series of the Inter- County |
League from Sweet Springs
Sunday afternoon after ten in
nings Of the most gruelling play
ever seen on the local diamond.
The score was 6 to 5. Every
thing that ever happened in a
ball game was pulled off and
some new wrinkles in the nation
al sport were introduced. Both
teams played sand-lot baseball
at times and again there were
flashes of brilliant play. The
five hundred spectators were
kept on edge during the whole
contest by the nip-and-tuck bat
tie
In the very first inning Sweet
Springs scored one when Glenn
ems doubled a runner home af-
ter two were out. Clemens, by
the way, proved a most danger
GUS player on the visiting team
as he hit viciously and fielded
sensationally. In their half,
however, the Athletics forged
ahead when Steno walked and
Bobby Lineback, after failing on
two attempts to bunt, parked
!. the ball over the right field
| fence for home run. Another
] marker was pushed across al
so on another walk and Hard
ing's hit.
With Lexington leading 8 to
/, l the game rocked along until
! the fifth inning. Both teams
had runners on the paths in ev-
cry frame and both pitchers
: were constantly in hot water
because of errors in their sup
port. Both hurlers were hit
{ freely also but at times they
pitched brilliantly. For instance
J in the fourth, Lexington jam
med the bases with none out,
yet billiard, the Sweet Springs
pitcher, got out of the hole with
out allowing a score. King, of
the Athletics, had to pitch him
self out of a tight place in prac-
tically every frame.
Sweet Springs tied the score
} in the sixth. They loaded the
bases with none gone but put
/. over only two counters, due to
Clemens's attempt to steal home
and a good peg from center by
Harding, which caught a man
at the plate.
billiard, the Sweet Springs
pitcher, was accused of pitching
a "rosin ball" and quite an ar
