Miss Mason Tells
OF National Meet

The Fourth Annual National Con-
vention of Business and Professional
Women, held in Chattanooga, Tenn,
the week Of July 1915, was a sue
cess from every standpoint. Practi-
cally every state in the Union was
represented, as were the larger cities
OF each state. The Louisiana delega-
ton consisted of the state president,
Miss Dorothy Schulze, of Monroe;
Mrs. G. P. Olroyd, Mrs. Mcdonald
and Miss Lucy Edgar of New Orleans,
and Miss Beatrice Mason of Bogalusa.
The number in attendance at the va
rlous sessions sessions, including dele
gates, national officers and visitors,
was about twelve hundred.
AS usual, Bogalusa came in for her
share of publicity, being the only city
in the United States that was indi-
vidually spoken of by the chairman
of the Credentials Committee. The
national president and executive sec
rotary also commented on our CITY,
concerning its rapid growth, brilliant
future prospects, etc. They also
made inspiring remarks as to the To-
cal club of Business and Professional
Women.
A number of Iuncheons and ban
quets were given to the delegates at
this convention. Delegates were IA
vOred with addresses from various
women of national fame. Among
the speakers were Mrs. Lena Lake
Forrest, national president; Miss
Lena Madison Phillips, national exc
cutive secretary; Miss Mary E. Stew
art of Washington; Raymond Rob
bins, Red Cross worker in Russia,
and Madame Duryea, a Near East
Relief worker
The treasurer's report shows a
bank balance of $4,000 and it was
agreed by the entire delegation that
the National Federation of Business
and Professional Women is no longer
n its infancy, but a permanent or
ganization; the only organization
hat has financed itself from it's be-
and is here to stay, and to
help the business woman.

SEASON CLOSES FOR
MELON SHIPPING

The season in this section for the
shipment of watermelons will close
this week. While this year was
the first in which melons were raised
for northern markets, and only fifty
cars out of an expected 500 cars
were shipped, the farmers are opti-
mistic over the outlook for next year.
Never has this section experienced
such a heavy rain fall as deluged the
country in the late spring and early
summer. Many fields planted to
melons were completely drowned out
by rain.
The first few carloads of, melons
were pulled too early, but with the
gained this year, it is be-
lieved that next season will prove
profitable one.

BOGALUSA BEANS
MAKE HIT IN KY,
Louisville. XIV, july II. 1872,

Louisville, KY, July II, 1922.
Bogalusa Farm Products Company,
Bogalusa, La.
Gentlemen
Beg to advise that the writer has
just been over to the office Of J. S.
McAlister Company and submitted
samples of our "Bogalusa Brand"
stringless beans to Mr.. McAlister.
The first thing he did was to open a
can of these beans and he remarked
he had never seen better filled can.
He then sampled the beans and ad-
vlsed he had never tasted a better
canned bean, that they tasted Just
like they were fresh and admitted
ne had never seen a better can of
green beans, and as far as the article
we were putting out, it was excellent
and that the only handicap he could
see In moving these beans would be
the price.
Of course, the writer is not IA
miliar with the price of canned
goods and had no argument to offer
to this statement of Mr.. McAlister's,
other than to continue talking, irving
to sell him on the idea of Bogalusa.
He is going to turn these samples
over to his men right away and prom
Lsed to give us report in a day or
two. Just as soon as receive the
rss0rt from Mr.. McAlister, naturally
viii pass whatever information he
gives me on to you.
Yours very truly,
A. C. LONG.

BOARD RUNWAY TO
CROSS BAD MUD HOLES

Fred w. Smith, state highway com
missioner for Mississippi, came to
Bogalusa last Monday to buv several
thousand feet of lumber to build
plank runway across the Pearl
ElVer swamp and the soft fills be-
yond the Moody place.
In order to facilitate delivery Of
the lumber, H. E. Roster furnished
the necessary trucks, free of cost.
and one hour after the lumber had
Deen purchased it was en- route to
its destination.
Mr.. Smith said the work would be
completed by Wednesday evening and
That these runways would eliminate
all danger of motorists begging down,
but 1t will necessitate careful and
eonslderate driving as the runways
VIII be single track and cars cannot
pass each other.
Commissioner Smit also stated to
Inc Enterprise that if motorists trav-
ehng through the swamp will ask for
Ladner's teams, when they get stuck,
the service of pulling the cars out
VIII be free. He has heard that manv
nave been charged for this sort Of
service and said that in future if anv
charge were made, he wanted the mo-
torIst to insist upon a receipt for
the amount and that he would REIN
purse them and discharge the man
who collected the money.
Mr.. Smith said if he could have
;hree weeks of good weather. the
temporary road could be completed.
t will take three months to complete
he gravel road and approach to the
Pearl River bridge.
The Mississippi commissioner in
,ites the travelling public passing
through Poplarville to call upon him
r any of his assistants for any in
ormatiop concerning the roads to
he Gulf Coast. The Ford service
tation in POplarville will also supply
UGH information.

BIG CAMPING PARTY
HAS FINE OUTING

W: W. Conerly of Columbia. Miss.
entertained camping party at his
summer home in Ball Town, La. last
week. In the party were Misses

KOkomo, Miss, also an official of the
F. c. & G. R.~R.
Mr.. Conerly proved a very clever
host, who entertained his guests with
fishing, swimming and water melon
parties and hay rides.
The lure of the country soon en-
ticed the girls to discard their female
regalia for overalls.
Black gnats, sand flies and mos
quitoes proved to be a very promi-
nent factor in the first nights en-
after which they seemed
to have had their fill and retired from
Inc scene.
There were also rumors of var be-
tween the boys and girls, such as
water fights and egg battles. The
party proved roaring success.
Later they were entertained as
Weekend guests of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
Ford Of Angie, La.

BELIEVED STRIKE WILL
END WITHIN FEW DAYS

. Those who are inclined to look
upon the optimistic side of the strike
of the railroad shopmen are of the
opinion that the next few days will
see the differences adjusted.
The $50 local shopmen who were
ordered oHt despite the fact that they
were already working for less than
the Bhopmen of other roads are strik-
ing for, are as anxious to see a set
tlement as is the public. There is no
change in the local situation and the
only work being done in the shops is
repairs.
