Of Mr.. Satterheld as Postmaster, and
won the support of Senator BAH
who recommended Satterfeld for
the place. Another element Of the
party backed Elmer Benson, broth
er of Secretary of State A. r. Ben
son, for the Postmastership, and he
was recommended by Senator du-
Pont. As the two Senators failed to
agree. President Harding made no
appointment and Mr.. Startling con-
tinued in Office. Now that Senator
Ball. as the only Republican SEN
ator from Delaware, has the dis
pensing of Federal patronage, he
has had Mr.. Satterfield named as

OF JULY CELEBRATION
GOES DOWN AS GREATEST OF THE
MANY EVENTS HELD IN BOGALUSA

"The greatest celebration ever
given in Bogalusa," is the unanimous
verdict of the thousands who attend
ed the Fourth of July celebration held
here Tuesday under the auspices OF
the American Legion. 1t was attend
ed by the greatest crowd that ever
visited the city and, had the weather
been fair earlier in the day it is be-
lieved the attendance would have
been much greater.
The complete program was carried
out on schedule, beginning with the
parade at $50 a. m. and continuing
until the dance at the Armory con-
cluded at midnight, without a dull
moment. The Boys Band of the Mis-
sissippi Industrial School and the 7.
NJ. G. A. Band furnished the music
during the day.
Long. before the time for the pa
rade to start cars were coming into
Bogalusa from every direction, while
lit appeared every citizen of Bogalusa
was out in gala attire. Every indus
try of the city was closed down fol-
the day and business in every line
was practically suspended.
The parade formed at the City Hall
with Capt. r. G. Holt as grand mar
shall, assisted by R. E. Stone and
Hines Williams. While the decorated
automobiles and trucks were not
many, those appearing in the parade
were so beautifully decorated that
they more than made up for any
shortage in numbers. The line of
march was through North Bogalusa
to Goodyear Park, where Mesdames
y. H. Cassidy and G. A. Townsend
and DR.. ]. H. Slaughter had some
difficulty in selecting the winners,
which were finally announced as fol
lows:
First prize (for any make of carr
was won by Miss Ethel Mitchell who
drove Studebaker car. The decora-
tons were most attractive in a col
or scheme of red, white and blue. A
gallery effect was built upon the car
on which in front were riding two
boys, one dressed as a sailor and the
other as an infantryman, with the
ensemble dominated by Uncle Sam
on a pedestal in the rear. The car
was decorated by Fire Chief Sher-
man. Besides a cash prize of $25,
there were many accessories given by
local dealers.
The American Legion decorated
truck was the winner of the second
prize, and Alex Lott and Superintend-
entent Radcliffe walked away with
the third prize for their artistic work
in decorating the Bogalusa Farm
Products truck.
Miss Janella Lansing was the win
ner of the prize offered by the Res
ter Motor Company for the best deco
rated Ford. Charles Cohen won Sec
ond prize.
Marcus ]. Sporl won the prize Of

Police Make Great
Recorder Fourth

The manner in which the local DO
lice department handled the big
crowd here on the Fourth of July has
resulted in great praise for the de-
partment. With hundreds of out-of-
town cars here and at times with
traffic congested, there was not a
single accident. The mass of cars on
Fourth street at night, when the fire
works display was concluded, were
handled in a manner that would have
been a credit to the best traffic of
ficers in the country.
During the day there were no dis
turbances of any kind, not single
arrest was made The entire depart
ment was on duty from. early morn
ing until midnight, when they re-
ported at the City Hall. All were so
tired that they spent the remainder of
the night at the City Hall so that in
case of a call they. could respond
promptly.
