MARKET FOR
POTATOES AND SYRUP

R. H. Whitfield, a prominent farmer
of Stein offers an interesting sug-
gestion in the following letter:
The Stein Farmers Association re-
ceived and unloaded a car of fertil-
izer this week, to be used on water
melons. D. Sheridan of Bogalusa en-
tered into an agreement with the
association to furnish fertilizer and
buy melons at the highest market
price, and al 1.-The farmers of Stein
feel that the proposition is a good
one and are hoping the market will
be in shape for all to make a fair
profit.
The farmers of this association are
also planting as many beans for the
Bogalusa canning factory as they can
handle, as they feel the farmers in
reach of Bogalusa should do their
best to assist Mr.. Lott in making a
success of the new enterprise.
We are sure if it is shown the
farmers will raise enough beans to
make the factory pay, the business
men of Bogalusa and Manager Lott
will see fit to put in equipment to
handle one crop which is harder to
market, namely, syrup and sweet pO-
tatoes.
We see in recent issue Of the
Modern Farmer that Mississippi farm
ers are shipping syrup to chain stores
Of New York City with great success,
as they are receiving return rush or
ders. It seems to US with a stand
ardized plant in Bogalusa (and city
with the hustle of Bogalusa), that
he business men and farmers should
be reaping a benefit of some Of this
business.

St. Paul Team Broke
Training Yesterday

The st. Paul baseball team, Of the
American Association, who have been
doing their spring training in Boga-
lusa, broke camp yesterday and went
to New Orleans where they will en-
gage the st. Louis Browns today and
tomorrow. From New Orleans the
Saints will go to Alabama and Ten
.nessee for games before the opening
of the season in Indianapolis the mid
die of next month.
Mike Kelley, the genial manager. of
the Saints, was well pleased with the
condition of his team on their de-
parture from Bogalusa and was loud
in praise of the hospitality of the
citizens and the ideal training condi-
tions existing in Bogalusa. While the
weather was unusually bad, there
were sufficient good days to give the
team sufficient workouts.
The exhibition games in BOgalusa
this year were disappointment to
Mr.. Kelley, who lost money on the
game with the st. Louis Cardinals and
the two games with New Orleans, and
just escaped loss on Babe Ruth &
Co. AS a result, other games were
called off.
Owing to the fact that the Saints
did not arrive in a body, there was
no general reception on their arrival
in Bogalusa and it was not until the
past few days that members of the
bail club and the citizens of Bogalusa
began to get acquainted. Mr.. Kelley
proved quite favorite, not only with
the fans, but with every citizen he
met and it is needless to say that IL
they decide to return to Bogalusa
next season they will enjoy them
selves, and they cannot possibly find
weather conditions worse than pre-
vailed this spring.

Babson Made Great
Address in Bogalusa

Roger Babson, one Of the best
known statisticians of the United
States, writer and lecturer Of national
reputation, made an address at the
City Hall last Wednesday night which
was enjoyed by several hundred citi-
zens. Mr.. Babson talked on the bust
ness outlook for 1922 and his address
was profitable and entertaining.
Present conditions are not due to
the war, but to the era following
prosperity" stated Mr.. Babson. He
also said that there were IL cycles
from prosperity back to prosperity.
He described the various cycles, nam
ing six which have passed, and stated
the seventh was the cycle in which
we are now passing, namely the era
of reduction in the price Of rent and
the decline in the value of real es-
tate. Following this cycle he said
there will be a religious wave sweep
ing over the country as marked as the
crime wave following the turn of
prosperity to hard times. The eff
cienc yof labor has improved the
crime and extravagant waves have
passed; laboring men as well as bust
ness leaders are developing thrift,
but just how long it will be until
conditions are normal, Mr.. Babson
did not state. He said, however, that
conditions in the New England states
would be better next year than this
year, while conditions in California
and other Pacific Coast states would
be worse next year than at present,
due to the fact that the current, or
waves of conditions had not reached
the Pacific Coast, while the started
on the New England Coast.
The Enterprise regrets that we are
unable to publish Mr.. Babson's adj
dress in full, as it was not taken by a
stenographer.
Mr.. Babson stated before his de-
parture that if the citizens of this
community would take the interest in
reforestation that they should, there
win be a perpetual supply Of timber
for the sawmills and paper mills.

l5-Ft. Embankrnent

E. P. Leggett, 531 Avenue D, suf-
fered several strained muscles and a
severe shaking up Sunday night when
the Ford coupe he was driving rolled
off the REPRESENTATION high
way and down a fifteen-foot en-
banEment a mile this side Of the
Sheridan postoffice and ten miles
west of Bogalusa.
Mr.. Leggett was brought to Boga-
lusa by George Mason, who picked
him up on the highway about a mile
from the scene of the accident, and
was taken to the Elizabeth Sullivan
Memorial Hospital where he is now
confined to bed.
According to a statement made by
Mr.. Leggett Monday, he was return
ing from Franklinton alone after
driving friend to the parish seat,
and became drowsy. Loss of sleep,
due to an abscessed tooth, assisted
Morpheus and he fell asleep across
the wheel, the car turned off the
road at the 15-foot embankment and
rolled completely over. The crash
awoke Mr.. Leggett and he crawled
out the side door Of the car, and after
a hurried examination to find
out if he could start the car again,
he decided not and started for the
nearest farm house. He was headed
for Bogalusa when George Mason
came along and picked him up.

Great Crowds View
Wedding Presents

The display of the wedding gifts
received by Mrs. W. H. Sullivan, a
bride Of two months, which excelled
any similar display in the history of
the South, attracted hundreds Of citi-
zens to the Sullivan home Tuesday,
despite the inclement weather.
The fact that it required five rooms
Of the beautiful Sullivan home in
which to display the gifts, valued at
several thousand dollars, gives an ink
ling of the number of gifts received
by Mrs. Sullivan.
In the dining room the chinaware
was displayed and appeared to consist
of every kind known, in such abund-
ance as to supply the demand for
any occasion.
In the living room there was the
display of what might be classed as
ornamental silver and chinaware, con-
sisting of such articles as candle
sticks, fruit dishes, vases, etc. In the
adjoining room there were hundreds
of pieces Of silver, large dishes and
platters, in rarest designs Of sterling
silver.
In the Mayors den was displayed
the den furniture, loving cups and
a handsome private safe, gifts to the
bridegroom by his brothers.
In the sun parlor, the handsome
Chickering piano, the gift of the en-
ployes of the Great Southern Lum-I
Der Company and allied industries,
and table silverware were displayed.
Conspicuous among these gifts, and
there were hundreds of them, was the
chest Of silver given by relatives Of
the bride the set Of silverware pre-
scented by the international Harvester
Company and the sterling silver vase
by the merchants of Columbia street.
Following the wedding the list Of
gifts occupied almost page in The
Enterprise, and judging from the dis
play, it even appears that some have
been received since that time.
The affectionate esteem in which |
Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan are held was
possibly never so substantially shown
to any couple in any city.
The crowds began arriving at the
Sullivan home before noon Tuesday,
and a continuous stream of sight
seers passed through the exhibit |
rooms until almost midnight. People |
from nearby towns were among those
who viewed the display and visitors
were still coming Wednesday as The
went to press.

T enton Arrested;
Robbery Charged

J L. B. Penton aged 40 years, a resi-
( dent Of Richardsontown, was arrest
ed Thursday by officers of St. Tam
many and Washington Parishes,
charged with assault with dangerous
weapons and attempt to rob Sam
Sheridan, prominent farmer and resi-
dent of Washington Parish, on the
evening of August q.
Mr.. Sheridan and daughter, Will
mer, identified Penton as the man
who had attempted the robbery, and
failing in this had shot at Mr.. Sheri-
dan. Penton was taken to Franklin
ton and lodged in the parish prison.
The Sheridan incident dates back
to last summer when a stranger came
to the porch of the Sheridan home,
five miles southwest Of Bogalusa, and
inquired about some lost cattle. Mr..
Sheridan was seated on the porch,
and engaging in conversation, THE
stranger ascertained that no one was
at home except the daughter, Miss
Wilmer Sheridan. Drawing pistol
from@his pocket the man commanded
Sheridan to "hand over that money
you've got there" During the scuf-
fle that ensued, Miss. Sheridan came
to her fathers assistance. With her
help Mr.. Sheridan broke free of the
assailant, who Immediately turned
and ran into some woods close to
the house, wheeling just as he
reached the edge and firing a harm
less shot at the two on the porch.
A report was made to the BogaIu-
sa police, and although dragnet was
placed about the city, no clue to the
identity of the stranger was forth
coming, although the police suspected
Penton of more than ordinary in
terest in the crime.
Several months ago Penton was
picked up by the Department of JUS
tice at Shreveport, and charged with
lareency, involving the breaking into
of freight car en- route from one
State to another. A month later
Penton escaped, and in company with
Ed Drew, another prisoner, made. his
way back to Bogalusa. Drew was ar
rested two weeks ago, charged with |
breaking into the postoffice at Lexie,
Miss, and Thursday Deputy Sheriffs |
Of St. Tammany parish arrested PEN
ton at the home of his uncle, Sam
Penton, who resides near Bush. A !
quantity of merchandise identified |
by R. E. Talley, Rio merchant, as a
part of the stock stolen from his
store a week ago, was found in PEN
toms room.

NO PROTECTION FROM TOXINS
Safety Cannot Be Depended on From
Food Poisoning by Use Of Can
ming Powders.

Canning powders cannot be depended
on for safety from food poisoning, ac-
cordlng to the bureau of chemistry of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Extensive experiments re-
Gently conducted to test the claims
made by certain widely advertised and
distributed canning powders, which
consisted mainly of 95 per cent boric
acid, with 5 per cent of salt added,
have shown conclusively that the anti
septic properties of the powder only
affect q few molds and heterogeneous
which are not responsible for spoilage
In properly p~rocessed cans or Jars.
Fruits and other acid products prop
erly packed when fresh and In good
condition keep without any canning
preparations. Much larger amounts or
canning powder than those recon-
mended on the package had no effect
whatever on the growth Of spore-form-
ing bacillI. which do not require free
oxygen for growth, particularly the
toxin forming bacillus botulinus, which
has recently been responsible for many
deaths.

Red Cross Water
First Aid Makes
Life Saving Gain

More than 325 Chapters engaged in
life saving or water first aid last year
with the result that the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps has set a new
high mark for enrolment and the
number of qualified life savers de-
veloped. The influence of "learn TO
swim week. in many localities Is re-
ducing the water fatalities through in
struction and the wider dissemination
OF resuscitation methods demonstrated
by the Red Cross representatives. Elk
cellent work has been done in teaching
a large part of the American popula-
ton how to take care Of itself in the
water. Growing appreciation for this
Red Cross Life-Saving Service Is
shown by the compulsory instruction
adopted in many cities for members Of
the police and fire departments in the
prone pressure method of resuscita-
ton.
