A fault one might find with Prof.

in the lists Of creative intelligence
the only one with whom Pareto
might properly be compared is Prof.
Robinson himself The analogies be-
tween the two men are indeed quite
striking. Like Robinson, Pareto is
a professor-he has lectured for

BOGALUSA WILL BE HERE
STRONG AS EVER SATURDAY

No, the Mayor had not heard of it.
If he had, he would likely have in
vited number of distinguished
guests to witness the storm, explain
ing that we have the best of every
thing and show them a real storm and,
incidentally, how well BogaIusa could
stand anything in that line.
Bogalusa has withstood many hard
blows, among them one of the fiercest
that ever visited this section of the
Gulfcoast. There was considerable
property damage, but Bogalusa has
yet to give up a citizen to a storm.
Take things easy and after Satur-
day you will realize there is nothing
to fortune telling" and that hind
sight is far more accurate than visions
of a future-reading seeress.
The Weather Bureau has no report
of a storm headed this way, which is
pretty good evidence that there will
be none.
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1922-04-13

Folks, don't worry. Bogalusa will
be here Saturday morning!
What are we talking about?
Then you are not one of the super
stitious believers in fortune telling"
Shame on you for such ignorance,
when there is a seeress close to Boga-
lusa who can tell you everything. She
told one of her admirers over the
phone that Bogalusa was to be swept
away by storm before Saturday morn
ing. This friend scattered the news.
Folks with lots of time and nothing to
do but believe in fortune and misfor-
tune began to worry The more they
worried the wider circulation gained
the report. The insurance writers re-
port no unusual interest in storm
policies, however.
Some folks got so excited that call
after call was sent to Mayor Sullivan,
wanting to know if he had bees Of
ficially notified that Bogalusa was to
be destroyed by Saturday morning.

Those who stay in an office or work
in the big industries and don't visit
each section frequently cannot real
ize the number of new houses, new
faces and improvements that are APP
pearing in Bogalusa.
Mr.. Webster came to Bogalusa
when the city was founded. Since
that time he has been a booster. IN
the first good roads movement that
was started, he carried a list and did
good work to open the road from Rio
to the st. Tammany parish line. That
was six years ago when there were
few automobiles here. He then rem
dered the city valuable assistance in
the building of the present good
streets of the city.
Mr.. Webster was the promoter Of
the White City, which turned an "eye
sore" spot into one of beauty and
in an up-to-date moving pic
ture theater being built. He lost more
than any other citizen. on the deal,
but he got his moneys worth in the
satisfaction of knowing it was one of
the greatest civic Improvements in
the city's history.

WEBSTER CLOSES DEAL FOR
145BUILDIIGL OTS WITH MILLER

Activity in the local real estate
market continues and one of the larg-
est transfers made in many months,
if not in the history of the city, was
announced by Charles Webster yes
tedray whereby David Miller be-
comes the owner of 145 lots in the
Pleasant Hill section, near what is
known as Frenchtown. Mr.. Miller
will leave next month for the North
and on his return here will start con-
structiOn of from twenty-five to fifty
houses. He is now completing about
ten houses in various parts of the
city. The property purchased by Mr..
Miller was secured from Magee OFT
ct al of Franklinton.
81 am confident that Bogalusa is
going to enjoy one of the best
grOwths in it's history" said Mr.. Web
ster. 81 have always been classed as
being too optimistic. I am always
talking Bogalusa, but I believe today
that if there were 100 more houses in
Bogalusa, they would be occupied in
less than thirty days. Bogalusa is
growing so rapidly from almost every
angle that it is becoming so big that
everyone doesn't know of its growth.

Mr.. Seldner will have office hours
at the Armory to assist the ex-service
men, and at any time he is not at the
Armory, he can always be located at
the information desk in the admins

Local Elks Start
On Very Busy Year

Bogalusa Lodge of Elks started out
to do things last Friday night, and
there is every indication that the
present year will be the most active
in the history of the local lodge.
At the meeting Friday evening W.
D. Scruggs was installed as exalted
ruler, S. Lacy Dickerson, esteemed
leading knight; Ed Harms, esteemed
loyal knight; Meyer Berenson, es-
teemed lecturing knight; ]. J. Carter,
secretary; J., A. Spekenhier, treas

Grand Lodge. Appointive offices
made by Mr.. Scruggs were: @. 1,
Black, esquire; Joseph Cohen, tyler;
W. E. Gilbert, inner guard, and E. R.
Cassidy, chaplain.
Mr.. Scruggs made a most impress
sive talk and promised some great
things for the local lodge, if the mem

District Deputy Terrier C. Blan-
chard, of Donaldsonville, La, made
his official visit and had charge of the

The work that has been looked
after by the local Red Cross Chapter
will be conducted in the future at a
saving of over one hundred dollars
per month as the result of the de-

BOGALUSA POLICE INSTRUMENTAL
IN CAPTURING A CLEVER CROOK

Local police were instrumental in
catching what is believed to be an
exceptionally clever swindler, who is
now being held at Franklinton to
await trial for having passed a forged
draft upon well known local citizen
yesterday.
Arriving here Wednesday, night,
driving Dodge roadster with Texas
license, a man giving his. name as
Dewitt Kaufman, accompanied by
an accomplice, registered at the Co.
lonial Hotel Mail was awaiting
them. They represented themselves
as travelling for the Iona Steel Equip
ment Company of Baxter Springs,
Kas. They showed correspondence
from the company.
While they were supposed TO be
looking after local business, their car
was being repaired and when it was
delivered, the charges were more than
the cash they had on hand. Then the
convenience of the local citizen came
in. Would he cash a draft for $3.50
on the steel company? The draft
was cashed and the men left town.
One on the train, the other in the car.
He was unable to get to Poplar vile
and turned to Covington. About an
hour later the police received q mes
sage from Amite, asking the police to
arrest the men. They had cashed a

PICARD'S WORK GETS
HIM SPLENDID JOB

Ralph Picard, son of Mrs. A. A.
Picard, who has been on The Enter
prise staff for two years, left Satur-
day for st. Paul, Mimi, where he
goes to join the staff of the Pioneer
Press. The owner Of the Press, N.
D. Blantin, was attracted by the
stories which Ralph supplied to that
paper during the training period Of
st. Paul baseball club here, and of
fered him a job at salary that made
The Enterprise less attractive to him.
The Pioneer Press is one of the best
papers in the entire Northwest.
Ralph will do sport work, and there
is no question but that he will make
good on the job, and if he works and
studies on his new job in st. Paul as
he did while on The Enterprise, he
should develop into/one of the best
sport writer's in the country.

lice notified the banks but the men
had put over their work. Then the
chase started with the the man a full
hours start in an unknown direction.
Chief Magee phoned to Covington
and gave a detailed description to
the sheriff. Fifteen minutes later
the man was arrested as he was COM
ing out of the Southern Hotel. In
the car were found two rifles and two
revolvers.
The Hammond officials beat the
Washington parish officers to# Cow
ington. They got the 5000 coming
to them. The Bogalusa victim seized
the car and contents. The man was
taken to Franklinton where he is be-
ing held. He gave his name as De
Witt Kaufman, but stated it was not
his right name, nor would he make it
known as he says he comes from a
highly respected family. He stated
he had cashed drafts in many Kansas,
Texas and Louisiana cities. The ac-
complete made his getaway on the
train. He is believed to have been
an advance agent who picked his
prospects and the towns. Chief Ma
gee had a long talk with Kaufman
Sunday. He would not give his right
name, but said his home is in Kansas
City.

New Industry to
Start Next Week

Bogalusa's newest industry, the
White Products Co.. manufacturers
of broom handles, will begin opera
ton the early part of next week
unless some unforeseen delay arises.
H. B. White, president of the COM
pany, arrived in BOgalusa Monday
from COrthersville, Ind, to look after
the final details.
H. C. White, who will be the local
manager, has been busy installing
the machinery for the past thirty
days.
The plant will give employment to
about 20 people at the start, but as
business improves the force will be
increased. The factory is located in
the old Louisiana Fibre Board build
ing, and has every convenience of a
modern factory.
A few months from now the fac
tory will manufacture handles,
buckets and various other articles,
and by the end of the year it is ex-
pected they will be manufacturing
many articles to 81 greater extent.
The company has made great sue
cess in the middle west with hardwood
and are confident that pine will not
only prove as good, but will find a
better demand.
The concern was induced to locate
in Bogalusa through the efforts of
Mayor w. H. Sullivan and the Great
Southern Lumber Co., the latter hav-
ing spent several thousands of dol
lars in improving the property which
will be the home of the White Prod
ucts Co.

markets. This will result in the
melons from this district bringing APP
proximately $50 more per car. Four
buyers have been here to try and pur-
chase the crop.
The farmers formed an organiza-
ton at their meeting last week and
upon the suggestion of Mr.. Sheridan
they will keep a man in the market
which will give them the advantage
of the best prices, whether to ship
or sell to buyer who will be here.
Mr.. Sheridan states that almost
any three acres planted in the parish
will have a carload for shipment after
being culled for melons which would
be Improbable to ship. He stated he
has known of an acre producing over
two carloads.
Mr. Sheridan is also of the opinion
that if everything goes as expected
this year. there will be a greater
acreage next year.
Melons are easy to raise, and no
other crop has been neglected this
year on account of the 1000 acres of
except in a few instances
where farmers have reduced their cot
ton acreage.
The making of the melon crop at
this season of the year should do
much to improve conditions of the
community.

that will surpass the expectations of

The Enterprise started little in

and finds that there have been close
to sixty new houses built or started
in the past 90 days.
In view of the fact that no permit

SHdeTl To Have
Fine Water System

Slidell is considering the establish
ment of a modern water and swer-
age system. An engineer, x. A. Kra-
mer, of Magnolia, Miss, has gone
over the ground and submitted plans
and specifications.
The Slidell Chamber of Commerce
appointed a committee to investigate
the feasibility of the proposition, to-
gether with it's effect upon fire insur-
ance rates. This committee is COM
posed of L. V. Cooley, Jr., chairman;
B. S. D. Dobree, Joseph Hotard and
c. A. Everett. The report will be
made at the next meeting of the
chamber on April Is.
The specifications call for a plant
capable of supplying fire protection,
commercial and residential water,
the pumping house will be 20 by 80
feet, of brick, and equipped with
pumps capable of supplying 1000 gal
Ions per minute. Tubular wells, ap-
proximately 500 feet deep, will be
the source Of supply, which will be
conference, IL feet deep and having
a capacity of 10000 gallons. A
10,000-gallon steel tank, 125 feet
high, will be part of the equipment.
This system will provide fire pres
sure of so to 55 pounds per square
foot.
The engineer claims this system,
when installed, will reduced insurance
rates from Is to 40 per cent on mer-
camille houses and from Is to 20 per
cent on residences.
Slidell has only 7-mill levy on it's
assessed property value of $780,
900, which is on Is per cent basis.
The estimate is that an addition 3.8
to 4-mill levy will provide for the
water system. The estimated total Of
both systems is 105,OOO.
The committee, has not, as yet
made it's report, but the public SEN
timent of the, towns seems to favor
the proposed plant.

Makes Big Success
On 5O-Acre Farm

One of the best examples that fruit
and vegetable raising will prove prof
table in this section is perhaps being
best shown by the success which H.
3. Cunningham is making on his So
acre farm just outside of Bogalusa,
on the Franlslinton Highway. HIS
success in raising strawberries was
recognized u year or two ago, and as
result the demand for his berries
exceeds his sumpply, despite the fact
that he has increased his acreage each
year, Experts have pronounced his
crop better than any from the famous
Tangipahoa district.
Last year Mr.. Cunningham set out
a large number of orange trees, and
one would not believe such rapid
growth possible were it not for the
occular proof. The little trees are
covered with blooms.
Las february he set out IS fig
trees and every one of them is living,
a fact to make an expert in this line
envy him. His crop of corn is now
several inches high and in 20 days
he expects to have green corn ready
for the market. To make a long
story short, Mr.. Cunningham has
taken to progressive fruit and vege-
table raising like to duck to water
and he enjoy the work. He has
wonderful helpmatc, too. That ac-
counts for a lot of his success.
Mrs. Cunningham has large num-
Der Of fine hens, which supply an
abundance of eggs, that by the way
are engaged each week in advance.
Then the yard has many varieties of
flowers and there are many healthy
young chicks which are her property
and will soon be ready for the mar
ket. And in the meantime the trees
are growing and the land is improv-
ing in value. In few years the Gun
ningham place, known as the Long
view Farm, is going to be worth
lot of money. Some people will say
he is "lucky." The secret is, he works
and enjoys his work. There is an
opening for a hundred more such
"Iucky" persons in this section.

CITY MAY INSTALL
RADIO-O-PHONE HERE

If the cost is not too much, and
the city can spare the money, Boga-
lusa is to have receiving station Of
the radio-o-phone. The suggestion
was offered by Commissioner Linds-
ley &c the meeting Tuesday evening.
The cost of installing a receiving sta
ton here will be investigated by Major
j. H. Friend. He is expected to make
a report at the next meeting of the
Commission Council. It is planned
to have only a receiving system at
present, which will enable the citi-
zens of Bogalusa to take out of the
air all waves from other cities.
If such a system is decided upon
for Bogalusa it will probably be in
stalled at the City Hall and interest
is expected to grow until sending
system will also be added
