Paul Levert Is
Claimed Death

Death claimed one of Bogalusa' S
best citizens in the person of Paul
Levert at o'clock Wednesday morn

of Mr.. Levert's friends knew that he
was sick until his condition became so
serious that hopes for his recovery
were abandoned MIR. Levert deveI-
oped a cold Saturday afternoon and
Sunday had temperature and his con-
dition grew worse until the end came.
Paul Levert came to Bogalusa
shortly after the founding of the city
and never was he known to refuse to
render assistance in any civic cause.
His ambition was not 10 be leader,
but as a private citizen there was
nothing he was called upon to do that
he did not lend his entire energy.
Not alone was he of valuable assist
ance in civic and ptariotic work, but
his acts of charity were many, of only
his intimate friends knew BogaIusa
did not have a more honest or
straightforward citizen and he was
well prepared to meet his untimely
death, which is mourned by many
relatives and scores of friends.
Paul Levert was 56 years of age,
was never married and was devoted
to his aged mother, who survives. Be
sides his mother, Mrs. ugust Levert,
he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. F.

DEAL CLOSED FOR
CANNING PLANT
MACHINERY

AS sufficient stock has been sub
scribed, officers elected and a con-
tract for the the purchase of the
machinery for the Bogalusa Canning
factory has been let, work on placing
the plant of the Louisiana Fibre
Board in condition will begin at once.
1t is expected the machinery will be
ready for installation within ten
days, and forty days hence should
find the plant in operation.
Alex Lott, who has operated a plant
at Seminary, Miss, has been en-
ployed to manage the local plant. He
comes highly recommended.
Stock to the amount of about$12,-
600 was sold, and $4,000 additional
stock will be offered. 1t is believed
that half of this amount will put the
plant in operation, and leave the bal
ance for working capital.
Farmers who have contemplated
supplying the plant with vegetables
and fruits can now proceed with the
plant, with the assurance that they
will receive the highest market price
for their produce.
Mayor Sullivan, at the meeting of
the stockholders Monday, stated that
he thought it a good idea to try to
operate the factory without much
profit for the first year, giving the
farmers the best price possible for
their produce.
The beans and fertilizer will be dis
tributed at the location of the Can
ming Factory, the old Louisiana Fibre
Board building, the middle of next
week. The office will be opened
Monday with Mr.. Lott in Charge.
Beans, Okra and Tomatoes will be
canned this spring and summer, and
in the fall it is expected that there
will be sufficient quantity of sweet
potatoes to keep the plant busy dur
ing the winter months.
