St. Paul Ball Club
Arrives March 9th

Preparations are being made to
welcome the st. Paul baseball club
which will train here this spring.
Manager NJ. J. Kelly Stated in a letter
last week that he expected to arrive
IN the city on March 9Th with about
thirty players and several newspaper
men and they would remain in b.
galusa until April list.
Arrangements are being made to
book games with the New York Yam
KEGS, the Giants, the Dodgers and St.
Louis Browns. Manager Kelly said
he was quite sure he would be able
to secure game with the Yankees
with Babe Ruth as an attraction. The
1anks are training in New Orleans
and Manager Miller Higgins is a per-
sonal friends of Kelly's.
Two games with the New Orleans
Pelicans have been arranged for
March 18 and 10.
In letter to Mayor Sullivan. Bob
Quinn. business manager for the st.
Louis Browns. recommended Kelly
and his team of Saints" very highly:
The st. Paul team is composed of a
fine bunch Of men and the team is
@+NSA~ WV" 4LAGAJO4 lGdS uC SGduu-
ing" said Mr.. Quinn.
Bogalusa fans will remember that
the game between the Browns and
Milwaukee, of the American Asso-
citation, was one of the best played
here last year. The St. Paul team is
head and shoulders above the BREW
ers" in playing ability, being pennant
winners of the American Association
in 1920 and runners-up in the league
last year.
Louisville, the 1921 pennant win
ners of the American Association, de-
feated the supposed invincible Balti-
more "Orioles" in five-game series
in the Junior Worlds Series several
months ago, and baseball fans have
long thought the Orioles were the
equal OF many of the teams in the
American and National leagues.
The colored ball park, where the |
Saints" will train, is being put in |
first-class shape under the direction |
of J. c. Boyd, and the visitors will |
find everything ready upon their ar
rival here.

OFFICER TO FACE
MURDER CHARGE

A true bill for murder was found
against Deputy Sheriff Pigott, OF
Ponchatoula, La., who shot 60 de8th
Waldo M. Afford, member Of a prom
inent family Of Tangipahoa parish,
on January 26 at Ponchatoula.
At the time of the shooting it was
thought that Pigott had established
a very clear case of self defense, but
later developments were sufficient
for an investigation by the grand jury
of Tangipahoa parish, which was as
sembled in special session last Fri
day and returned the true bill for
murder.
At the same sitting the grand jury
investigated the killing of Harold lie
Noir by Town Marshal Joiner last
Sunday night at Hammond, but did
not return a true bill. LeNoir was
a member of a prominent family of
Amite City.

Bogalusa Boys Almost
Dance On Nothing

Claude Blanchard, Allan Cross and
Wilbur Roddy, we'll known young
men Of this city, were royalty enter.
tanned in Kentwood Sunday night fo1
several hours when mob Of forty OF
so citizens of that thriving little city
held up the Blanchard car and mott
fled Claude and his companions that
they were to be the principal charac-
tiers in an old-fashioned rnecktie
party"
Slightly surprised at the hospitality
Of the crowd Of strangers, Mr.. Blan-
chard declined the invitation, but
when his hosts insisted, the Blan-
chard temper became ruffled and
Claude demanded to know by whose
authority they were being held and
WHY?
The question brought forth the in
formation that Studebaker Six, sim
liar to the one driven by Mr.. Blan-
chard, had struck a negro boy shortly
before 6 o'clock that evening and
that the boy was near death from his
injuries-so, with their usual speed
and foresight the Tangipahoans de-
cided they would lynch the guilty
parties at once and await develop
ments. The only hitch in the plans
was the scarcity of guilty parties;
the opportune arrival of the Boga-
luSRns solving that difficulty, every
thing was in readiness for the enter
tainment.
Mr.. Blanchard's presence of mind
stood him in good stead, and after the
of the mob phoned Ham
mond, where an alibi was established
for Blanchard and his companions,
they we're temporarily released. Al
though loath to allow their victims
to escape so easily, the mob was fin
ally placated by the Kentwood chief
of police, who explained that they had
bagged the wrong car and the young
men were allowed to resume their
journey to Bogalusa.
Several months ago Allan Cross
and a friend were held up at Frank
linton and placed under arrest until
they were identified. So the affair
at Kentwood was no new experience
to at least one member of the party.

Annual Y Banquet
Attended By TO

The annual banquet Of the Y. w.
c. A, to which the women of Bo-
galusa look forward with much an
tlclpation each year, was held Thurs
day evening in the spacious recep-
ton rooms Of the Association.
More than one hundred and seven
ty ladies attended the banquet, which
was voted the most successful ever
held by the Association.
The rooms were decorated in the
valentine motif. Hearts and Cupids
graced the walls; myriad red balloons
suspended, from the ceiling added a
bizarre effect.
Valentine favors were placed on
the long banquet table and miniature
ships sailed sea of glass at each
plate.
Mrs. c. E. Gill and her social COM
mittee extended themselves in pre-
senting one of the finest suppers ever
enjoyed in BOgalusa, and the guests
were unanimous in their praise for
the excellence of the service. The
banquet table groaned beneath the
weight of such feast as this:
Celery and Olives
Cream of Tomato Soup
Chicken la King Potato Chips
Combination Salad
Frozen Pears with Whipped Cream
Angel Food Cake
Coffee
In imagination the banqueteers
pictured themselves aboard the good
ship, Y. w. C "A, with Bogalusa as
the home port, and proceeding under
this delusiOn Mrs. Blanche Roach,
POSTMASTER de luxe, started her ora
tors going.

Mrs. Bolton spoke to the 'land-
the women and girls of the
City who had not taken advantage of
the privilege of joining the Associa-
ton.
Mrs. Henry talked on the "home
port" Bogalusa, and the duty the

JUDGE OFT ADDS TWO
TO CITY CHAIN GANG

Two stiff sentences passed by
Judge G. Ellis OFT in the City Court
Tuesday morning added two more to
I the echain gang" who are working
the streets of the city.
Bud Shirley white, who operated
an establishment near Columbia
street, where Intoxicating liquors
were sold, was given a $25 fine and
costs in the city case, and a $500
fine and so days in Jail on the state
case for violation Of the Hood pho
hibition bill.
Shirley's case was an aggravated
one in which the police state that he
ran Out-and-out saloon. Several gal
Ions of white mule" as well as
large supply of bottled pine-top gin
was found in his place at the time of
the raid.
Jim Bowman, resident of the
same section, was fined $40 and costs
by the city and 5000 and 80 days in
Jail on the state count. Evidence in
the case brought out the fact that
Bowman handled ''hootch" as a side
line to his mercantile business, and
when taken in charge by the police
had several pop bottles full of high
velocity "mule" on his person.
The activity of the police force in
breaking up the liquor traffic in Be-
galusa is meeting with the full CO.
operation of the City Court, Several
weeks ago Acting City Judge Carter
assessed fines of $500 and sixty days
in Jail to two men charged with vio-
lating the prohibition laws.
The Jail sentences are feared more
than the fines by culprits, since the
new rule has gone into effect forcing
all prisoners to work on the streets
of the city in gangs, instead of lux
in the city Jail.

WE BEG YOUR PARDON

The Enterprise has received many
protests, and justly so, for an article
which appeared in last weeks issue
in connection with an experiment the
city is making in serving lunches at
the city schools. The plans are to
try it in Richardsontown, and if it
proves successful, and the cost is not
toe great, it will be adopted in every
school in the city.
Similar plans have been in vogue
in various parts of the United States
for some time and have proved sue
cessful.
Nine out of ten children would
rather miss their breakfast than be
late at school; others eat little break
fast and are hungry before noon. No
mother would want her child wading
through mud and rain to come home
for lunch. These are the reasons the
lunch stands are being provided in
every section Of the country, and
those who have made an investigation
of the results state it is one of the
greatest things that has ever been
done to improve the work and eff
cheney of the school child.
No petition was presented to the
Commission Council asking for the
establishment of lunch rooms. It had
been agreed that the city
would vote sufficient funds, while do
nations had been made by M. Marx,
Bogalusa Stores Company and Order
Of Eastern Star.
Various kinds of nourishing foods
will be served, including hot choeo-
late, soup and sandwiches. It is
hope that within short time these
lunches will be provided at every
school in the city.

The "silent policeman" at the cor

moment in the gravel and struck the
post. The car was damaged consid-
erably more than the policeman, y
but Mr.. Felts went at once to the
City Hall where he told of the acct
dent and made arrangements to pay
for the damage.
W. W. Roster drove head-on into
the gate at the east Ade of Fourth
street crossing Thursday, splintering
the gate. Mr.. Roster went imme-
diately to the City Hall where suita-
bic arrangements were made to re-
pair the damage.

LOOKED on As PIOUs Duty


The Passion Play" H. e., the most
famous representation Of Christ's
passion or agony in the garden and
suffering on the cr0ss) Is produced
about every ten years by the inhabi-
tants Of Oberammergau, village In
Bavaria, Germany, situated GA miles
to the southwest of Munich. Their
reason for giving 1t is to fulfill a vow
made nearly 800 years ago Tin 1881.
conditional upon the cessation of the
plague which was raging at that time
and which had desolated the country
around. The usual employment OF the
villagers is carving crucifixes, images
Of saints and rosaries, and making
toys. Thousands Of visitors In the
past have focked to see Oberammer-
gau's decennlal play. Interrupted
through causes resulting from the
World war, the Passion play, which
should have been givenl In 1920. Is
being produced this year instead. The
Britannica says regarding It: "The
original text and arrangements were
probably made by the monks Of Ettal,
a monastery a little higher up the
valley; but they were carefully re-
modelled by the parish priest at the
beginning Of the (Nineteenth) cen
fury. when the Oberammergau play
obtained exemption from the general
suppression Of such performances by
the Bavarian government. The music
was composed by R0chus Dedler,
schoolmaster Of the parish In 1914.
The performances take place on the
Sundays Of summer, In large open
air theater holding 5000 persons. and
each lasts about nine hours. with a
short intermission at noon. Each scene
from the history Of Christ is prefaced
BY tableau Of typical import from the
Old Testament. About 700 actors are
required, all belonging to the village.
The proceeds Of the performances are
devoted to the good Of the c0mmu-
nifty, after betrayal OF the costs and
payment Of small remuneration to
the actors. The villagers regard the
Passion play as a solemn act of re-
ligious worship. and the performances
are characterized by the greatest
reverence. The principal parts are
usually hereditary in certain families,
and are assigned with regard to moral
character as well as dramatic ability.
It is considered a disgrace not to be
allowed to take part in the play, and
the part Of Christ Is looked upon as
one Of the greatest Of earthly honors."
