with Lyle, the fans can rest as

would be hard to find.
The Independents are in need of
fleshy backfield man; that is, one
who at any moment in hard
fought game is apt to reel off 40,
so or more yards. Consistent line
smashes are equally important, but
nothing is quite so disheartening,

year against $4,000 last year and
$4,000 the previous year. The work

been reduced any, however, which

The canning factory for Bogalusa
is assured.
H. ]. Cowgirl and J. P. Starns who,
at the first meeting Of the Chamber
of Commerce this year, pledged to
sell enough stock to asure the plant,
are convinced that by the end of this
week their part of the contract will
be completed. Alex Lott, an expert
.enced manager and who comes to Bo-
galusa with a record of big success,
has been induced to assist in the OF
ganization and the building Of the
plant.
The plans are to locate the plant
in part of the old Louisiana Fibre
Board plant, which has an abundance
of room, with a. switch already in.
1t is expected to have the plant ready
for operation at an early date, pro-
viding that the farmers will raise suf-
ficient crops of vegetables to keep
the plant in operation.
Those who have made a thorough
investigation of the possibilities of
such plant are extremely optimistic
over the good it will do for the farm
ers as we'll as proving a good invest
ment for the stockholders.

and delighted when she wass urgently
called to the home of Miss Ethel Hart
Wednesday evening to find herself
the special guest at party given by
a number of her girl friends.
The home was prettily decorated
for the occasion.
For the principal feature of the
evening, a folded paper was handed
to each girl containing a stunt she
was to perform. One girl had to pro-
pose to another as she would have her
beau" propose to her. It was very
romantic proposal and gave to all a
thrill.
Mrs. Mullings' stunt was to pull a
ribbon from the piano and see what
it would bring. What it brought
proved to be a shower of many beau
tiful gifts.
Delicious refreshments were then
served.

When Will Mayor Return?
Does Not Know Himself

When is Mayor Sullivan going to
return from his honeymoon is a ques-
ton everyone is asking, and an event
that is being looked forward to with
much interest. But if Mr.. Sullivan
himself knows when he is going to ar
rive in Bogalusa ne has not made it
known to friends.
1t is known that he purchased one
way tickets, but no one here is wor-
ried about him becoming so enthused
with California that he will not re-
turn here. In letters to friends he
states that Mrs. Sullivan and him
self are having a grand time, and it
is doubtful if they will arrive home
before the latter part Of next week,
if then. Anyway, no matter how
careful and auet they may keep their
return to the city, they are going to
be given a welcome that they will
long remember.

LEGION DANCE
SATURDAY NIGHT

The dance Saturday night at the
Armory, under the auspices of Magic
City Post No. "a of the American
Legion, promises to be one of the
most successful affairs of its kind of
the present social season.
The identity of the beautiful and
mysterious Miss A: Legionaire, who
will make her appearance for the sec
ond time at the Magic City Theater
tonight, is exciting widespread Curl
osity. Those who saw the masked
lady last week are all confident that
they have a line on the true identity
Of the lady, but it is noticeable that
there is a wide range in the guesses,
some even contending that Miss A.
Legionaire is not even a lady at all,
but a man in disguise.
There will be other entertaining
features of the dance which will be
put on as a surprise. A light lun-
cheon and refreshments will be served
under the direction of the WOman's
Auxiliary. Blanchard's Orchestra
will furnish the music.
Dancing will start at p. m: The
public is invited to attend.
