JlooLY "LIFru CURED Him

An. old building on Broadway
near Houston street has been
equipped with an.eleyator that is run
by an antiquated steam plant. The
elevator goes by jerks. 1t is con-
tinuous jiggle and passenger
doubtlessly travels 80 feet between
floors that are ten feet apart.
The man who runs the elevator
says that when he took the job a
year ago he was suffering from
chronic indigestion. The motion Of
the elevator has cured him.

he says. Il took no other medicine,
so the cure must be credited to this

REVEALING DRIFT or STARS
interesting photographs Of the SKY Re.
Gently Made by Professor at
Yerkes Observatory.

The famous photographs Of the
sky, particularly Of the milky way,
made by Prof. E. E. Barnard Of the
Yerkes observatory, have revealed
many wonderful features. One OF
these is the frequent occurrence OF
stars Of nearly equal brightness in
straight or curved lines extending.
over considerable space. In a pa
per ON "Star Streams" Professor
Barnard expressed the belief THAT
these are not simply fortuitous, but
that tile arrangement in this striking
manner is due to some definite phys
ical connection between the stars in-
volyed.
These curves, or "festoons," usual
ly occur on parts Of the sky where
the stars are uniformly scattered on
a dark ground, and one is struck
with the presence OF a great many
lines Of small stars and Of narrow,
dark or vacant lanes, usually Of uni
form width.
If on a sandy space there has been
gentle wide overflow Of water,
which has carried the sand with it
without digging out channel, when
the water has subsided, its flow can
be detected by the appearance Of the
sand particles alone. In quite as real
way Professor Barnard believes
that his photographs reveal great
drifts Of the stars through space.

Big Cotton
Fire Monday
Jones Cotton Warehouse Goes
Up in Flames


Monday afternoon fire broke
out in the Jones Cotton Ware
house, and was under headway
before it was discovered, practi-
caIIy all the cotton under the
shed was on fire. We under
stand there was something like
250 bales in the lot, most of it
covered with insurance. Quick
work by the fire department
kept the fire from spreading, so
that all the cotton in the brick
part of the warehouse was
saved as was the building.
The Redpath Chautauqua tent
was situated on the adjoining lot
and a musical program was in
progress. The big crowd got
out Of the tent in an orderly
way without knowing the near
ness of the fire. At one time it
looked as if the tent would be
destroyed but it came out with
only a few holes burned by
sparks. The Chautauqua people
were loud in their praise Of the
efficiency with which the fire
was handled.

NO DEMAND FOR CLAY PIPES

Because of the small demand for
clay pipes, nowadays, T. George &
Co. of st. Jude's, Bristol, England,
who have made such pipes for dec
ades, decided to close down The
last batch Of clay pipes was baked
in their kiln a few days ago.
Fifty years ago clay .pipemaking
was the staple industry in the st.
Jude's district, but the IA firms
then engaged in it are no more.
Three generations of the George
family saw the kiln lighted for the
last time. Up to 20 years ago the
firm had big South African trade,
the pipes being used by European
traders to barter with natives for
their ivory, gold and other treasures.

ANOTHER EXPERT ARRIVES
TO ANALYZE OUR SOIL

F. A. Hayes, of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, arrived last
week to assist A. C. Anderson and G..
B. Manifold in making the soil sur
vey of Washington Parish. The field
work for this survey will probably be
completed early this summer. The
soil survey of this parish was secured
through the efforts of the Great
Southern Lumber Company, which is
sharing the expense of the work.
The soil survey party is making a
map which will show the nature of
the land in all parts of the parish,
the correct location Of all roads, all
houses, in the towns as we'll as in the
country, and all streams and other
natural features. When completed
the maps can be secured, free of
charge, by all residents of the parish.

Babson Makes Talk
to ESQ Methodists

What is said to have been one of
the finest talks ever delivered in Bo-
galusa was at the Y. w. C. A. Tues
day evening when Roger W. Babson,
world-renowned statistician, was
called upon for a toast at the ban
quet which Team No. rendered
Team No. 1 Of the Methodist Sunday
School. There were about two hun
dred and fifty members present, with
Reverend Gum as POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Babson, who is the guest of
Col. w. H. Sullivan, responded with
a toast upon which no preparation
had been made. He chose as his sub
ject the Selection of Foundation"
stating that no matter if you were
building a Sunday School, a city,
vast industry, that too much impor-
tance could not be given the building
of the foundation. He discussed his
subject from every angle and those
who have heard Mr.. Babson speak be-
fore, stated that this was his best,
and it is sincerely regretted the adj
dress was not taken verbatim.
Mr.. Babson stated in the course of
his remarks that Bogalusa had several
of the greatest things in the world
and would not be surprised to know
that the M. E. Sunday School devel-
oped into the largest in the country.
Following the address of Mr.. Bah
son, Colonel Sullivan responded with
one of his entertaining talks.

Store Manager
Leaves Suddenly

The sudden departure of George
NJ. Dixon, manager of the Co-Opera-
tive Stores Company on Superior
avenue, own by number laboring
men, has caused much uneasiness to
the stockholders and creditors. 1t
could not be learned definitely if an
effort is being made to have Dixon
return to Bogalusa and assist in
Strengthening out the affairs of the
company.
A week ago last Sunday Dixon
is reported to have given the keys to
Miss Lula Harding, an employee of
the store, stating he was going to
New Orleans and would return the
following day. Ten days passed and
he has not returned nor has any word
been received from him by J. ]. Car
ter, president of the company.
After waiting several days for his
return, W. G. Dorsey, who formerly
owned the store but now resides in
Tylertown, Miss, was asked to man
age the business. An inventory of
the stock has been made and the
store was doing business yesterday.
Including the accounts, which are
said to be extra good, the affairs Of
the company are said to be such that
the loss to creditors will not be great,
but the stockholders will realize little
if anything from their stock in the
event the stock is sold.
The store was incorporated with
a paid in capital of $4,000 about
two years ago and one dividend Of
per cent was paid. Dixon had no
stock in the company, but has been
the manager since the company be-
gan business. He came here from
Patterson, La, but aside from this
little is known of him.

Last Lyceum
Number Thursday

AS the closing number Of the 1921
1922 season the Y. NJ. C. A. will pre-
sent the Montague Light Opera Sing
ers on their Lyceum at the High
School Auditorium, Thursday, March
Goth.
This company played to a Boga-
lusa audience last season and their
entertainment was so well received
that the Lyceum Committee has ar
ranged for them to play this return
engagement.
Light Opera, always popular with
the masses, is featured by the Mon
tague Singers. In the repertoire of
this veteran organization are scenes
from "The Serenade" by Victor Her
bert, "Robin Hood" by Reginald De
,Koven, and "The Pied Piper; select
ed numbers from "The Miado," 'The
Red Mill'' and MADAM Butterfly"
and a complete operetta, "a Japa-
nese Romance" all of which are Civ
en- in costume. Incidental solos,
duets and quartets from the best song
literature give pleasing variety to the
program. One or more readings such
as a sketch from "The Blue Bird" by
Maeterlinck, give further diversion
without departing from the superior
quality of the Montague program.
New features are constantly being
developed, and in this way return
engagements are welcomed without
the necessity Of duplication.
Persons who do not hold season
tickets may reserve seats for this at
traction by telephoning the Y. M. C.
A., and tickets will be put aside.
Price of admission for this number
is one dollar for adults and fifty
cents for children under fourteen.
