Three Line Announcement.

The decision OF the steel corporation
was made known in three line type
written statement from the Office Of FL
bert II. Gary. chairman of the corpora
tion who is in Colorado:
The wage rates of day labor at the
manufacturing plants of the Steel Cor
poration have been increased about 90
rer cent. effective September T." said
the statement. "Other rates will be
equftably adjusted"
| The last sentence was taken 20 mean
that In addition to the common labor
specifically mentioned the wage advance
would apply to clerks. mining and trans
portation employees and virtually all
other workers in the corporation.
The increase brings the hourly rate
OF pay for unslSlled labor uprr to sc
cents from the 80 cent rate, which has
prevailed since August % 1921. Many
of the large Independent steel mills
have been paying the same or slightly
higher rates. although for some COM
panies the scale has been as low as 90
cents an hour.
Coming at the crux Of the labor trou-
bles caused by the effort to deflate the
wages Of the coal miners and railroad
employees. the steel corporations an
nouncemcnt OF its decision to alignment
its pay scales occasioned some surprise
in Wall Street, although in the stock
markets the price Of steel common re-
mained unaffected by the news and the
shares of the independent steel COM
panes eased off slightly.
In the steel trade, however. II had
been known for some time that the
higher rates of pay IN other industries
were making heavy drafts on the labor
of the steel corporation and that the
latter before the end OF the year would
probably be forced to increase pat rates
in order to maintain the necessary
working organization.
1t was also pointed out that wages
in the steel industry were rapidly de-
nated by successive decreases from the
peak wages paid during the war and
that the liquidation had gone further

TIME TO BEAUTIFY

Here's suggestion for the ladies Of Bogalusa, and
we know they can carry it through to completion with
great success.
There are less attractive towns than ours then there
are some that may be attractive The latter cond
ton is due to the fact that their citizens take exceptional
pride in identifying their surroundings.
We can do the same.
It would be simple matter for>the citizens of this
town. under the leadership Of charming women, to
get together and each agree to plant something especially
attractive around the house or grounds this spring.
few cents in seeds, little time in digging and ar
ranging and the work would be done. The time con-
smed need not be taken from daily labors The slight
digging and arranging would be than beneficial
exercise after business hours and the cost is too nsgn
cant to consider.
When you walk through city park you marvel at
its beauty but it no than human hands have made
just as human hands could make this town bower of
beauty
Our wives and mothers and sisters and daughters are
the to inaugurate and push movement of this kind
Theirs the eyes for beautiful effects and the minds to
conceive them
And the men? They would do the work. of course.
What man will not exert himself to that slight extent in
will be beautiful those of her neghbors and fiends
Why not ladies?
The Enterprise will follow your lead with all the en-
cOwagement and publicity you desire
We believe in you, and we believe you can manage a
beautifying campaign even better than men.

DECIDING WHERE TO BUY IT

The success of a business depends on its ability to
anayze the mental operations Of the public and to deter
mine how people decide to where they shall buy goods
The merchants who read the public mind most accurately
get the business
When one finds that he needs something, the queS-
ton arises as to where that article should be bought From
some source back in the mind the suggestion comes that
such and such place would be good store to visit for
that purpose. Whence comes that suggestion?
In the majority of cases. it is created by the store that
has made the most effort impress its reputation on the
public mind People remember the things they hear about
constantly and they forget other things that are rarely
called to their attention The advertised store conforms
to the laws of psychology by constantly calling public at
enton to its enterprises its goods its Methods its prices
and the advantages Of trading with it. Consequently the
inner consciousness when asked what where person
should buy apt respond by suggesting certain adver
tised goods.
It is of course true that while store by advertising
can always draw lot of trade it can't keep it unless
it really does give good values But advertising helps
store do that notably in these ways
l. Advertising encourages merchants to handle big
lots when such are offered them at low figures They
know that by appealing the public by advertising they
can swing these big lots and turn them into money in
short time Thus buying in large way and taking advan-
tage Of special opportunities they able to offer special
values
2. Advertising increases volume of trade, thus re-
ducing the operating and overhead expense per article
making possible to cut prices to the public The adver
tised buys and operates at low figures and thus
make low prices.

ERNST & ERNST
Adults and Systems.


New Orleans, La, Feb. 81, 1922
The Honorable Mayor and Board Of
Commissioners, City of BogaIusa
Louisiana:
Gentlemen
In accordance with your instruc
tions, we have audited the books Of
account and record of the City OF
Bogalusa, Louisiana, for the year
ended December 81, 1921, and sub.
nit herewith our report.
The financial condition of the City
at December 81, 1921, in our opinion,
is shown in detail on the annexed
Consolidated and Fund Balance
Sheets.
Cash funds were fully verified by
count and correspondence, and all
disbursements were found to have
been properly supported by approved,
paid invoices, payrolls, receipts or
other satisfactory evidence of pay
meHts.
We attach detailed statements of
Receipts and Disbursements covering
the Capital and Sinking Funds and
Income and Expense Statements,
showing revenues and expenses of the
Current and School Funds, all Of
which we have verified.
Prepaid Insurance, aggregating &c.
03O.34 at December 81, 1921, has not
been considered in the preparation of
our Balance Sheet, as it has not been
customary to include this item in the
accounts of the City in previous
years.
The general records of the City are
being well kept; however, it is our
opinion that the accounting system
in use is rather elaborate for your
needs and the same results could be
accomplished with less work by elm
mating certain records which require
duplicate effort.
WE HEREBY CERTIFY that we
have audited the books of account
and record Of the City of Bogalusa,
for the yearAnded Decem-
Der 81, 1921, as herein outlined, and
that the annexed Balance Sheets are
drawn up so as to correctly reflect
the financial condition of the City at
the date named, and the relative OPP
Grating statements are correct.
Yours very truly,
EARNST & ERNST.

be gun otin an argument that has been advanced
While the penalty for carrying flask of liquor is far
more severe than for carrying pistol we do not believe
it should encourage pistol carrying If pistols were left
at home, there would be far fewer killings.
One thing is certain and that is pistol totin' and
liquor will not go we'll together No one should be per-
mitted to carry pistol except officers of the law who
find necessary to do SO in order to enforce the laws and
they should use them only in extreme cases.
Last week Judge OFT gave to "pstol toters" heavy
fine, and The Enterprise believes that if officers will
search everyone who looks as if he was carrying gun.
the practice will be broken up 1t might keep the
City Court busy for time but it will result in the saving
of lives in the future.
