Burris, Inc. ty ag Bogalusa Scouts Hike To wi Franklinton. is Friday afternoon 21 of the Boy Scouts of Bogalusa, under Scout gr Master, John Holman, started co the 28 mile hike to Franklinton, not stopping on the march till i wl the half way point was reached. Here they pitched camp for the night, making themselves com fortable with their camp equip- m ment and supplies. all enjoying co tbi to the utmost a night in the open. h They reached Fanklinton at 9 a. m. Saturday and received a royal t welcome from the local scouts, who turned over their hall to n them for their stay and enter tained them as best they could till their departure on the Sun day train. This sturdy band of scouts gave strong evidence of the value te of systematic drill and training, as they were the fittest looking bunch imaginable at the conclu. sion of their long hike, some of the youngsters seemingly no cb more than 10 years old, nppear" in; ing as fresh and unfatigued as W the biggest and strongest. pn The visit proved quite an inspi- he ration to the local scouts, who Gi are quite enthused over the prospect of becoming full-fledg- w, ed Tender-foot Scouts. pl Sweet Birthday Celebration. la Sunday, March 10, marked the at eighty.eighth anniversary of the bE birth of the universally loved, dE "grandmother Babington." br The consecration and quiet of ei the Sabbath has always been W especially sweet to grandmother Babington, and recognising her preference in this matter her Ci children and grandchildren did not attempt a demonstration of any kind on her birthday, but in groups of two and three so that the personal touch might not be hi lacking, they came thru all the a day, each with a loving greeting d and a birthday remembrance for T the loved one, making of the day E a veritable "lenghtened sweet- II ness, long drawn out.' Despite her 88 years grand- lv mother Babington is strong and I active physically, and was never l more alert mentally; she spends n a hours of every day reading and g I then disseminates informatioh o and interest on every side.

Strictly speaking, we should say ciga rettes made of toasted tobacco; the amok eras of this country will recognize it more readily by its trade name, "LUCKY STRIKE "-the toasted cigarette. The American Tobacco Company are producing millions of these toasted ciga rettes and these are being bought in enormous quantities through the various tobacco funds conducted by the news papers of the country and forwarded through the Red Cross Society to the boys in France. This new process of treating tobacco not only improves the flavor of the tobacco but it seals in this flavor and makes the cigarettes keep better. The Red Cross nurse is always glad to have a cigarette for the wounded soldier, as, in most instances, that is the firat thing asked for. W. A. Erwin Secures Bond. An investigation by the Fire Marshal on Wednesday last, into the burning of the Erwin proper-. ty, failed to show up any proof against Mr. Erwin in connection with the fire, and Mr. Erwin was immediately released under a $500 bond, waiting action of the grand jury. This is virtually considered a final release as there is no further testimony than that given in the first investigation, which could not warrant the finding of a bill. Mr. Erwin corrected the state ment made in last week's ac count of the tire published in this paper, saying that the ware house was shingle covered and the roof uid catch fire from the store building. We are glad to make this correction public, Can you stop your car quick? We have the necessary equip ment to repair any set of brakes without delay of ordering ma terial.-Motor Sales & Service Co.
