^Extensive Improvements
At Bogalusa Ice Company
There is going to be no more short
I* of ice in Bogalusa next summer,
but, wi the contrary, the Bogalusa
Ice Company will be in a position to
«apply Bogalusa and all nearby towns
with an abundance of ice. It cost
something like $25,000 to make the
improvements necessary to take care
of the business.
Dr, }. H; Slaughter, proprietor, is
of the opinion that a person engaged
in business should do everything to
supply tiie demand. The improve

Soldiers Abroad May
Wed Girls by Proxy
In an opinion rendered in the case
of Wales T. Hawes of Cambridge,
Mass., a member of the American ex
peditionary force, the judge advo
cate general of the army held that
the military authorities in France
might facilitate the marriage by
proxy of soldiers abroad to their
sweethearts in the United States,
where such marriages did not' contra

ion had disapproved o$ such mar

riiscock of RoXbury, Mass.
The judge advocate, declaring
such contracts permissible, said the
best form in such cases was a single
contract 'signed by both parties. He
added: ' <
"It is no doubt to the interest of
society that Aiamage should exist be
tween those who sincerely desire, and
much sympathy is felt for those who
have been prevented from marrying
in the ordinary way by the exigencies
of military-duty."

Popular Teacher
Is Influenza Victim
Influenza has claimed another pop
ular young lady, the last being Miss
Trilbie Beard, the English teacher of
the Bogalusa High School, who suc
cumbed to pneumonia at the Boga
lusa Hospital Monday night, follow
ing an attack of influenza. The de
ceased was 23 years of age and came
to Bogalusa last fall, where she soon
became popular with the High School
students and the faculty. The an
nouncement of her death came as a
great shock to her many friends, de
spite the fact that her condition had
been serious for the past few days.
The remains were shipped to her
home in Columbus, Miss,, and were
accompanied by Professor Ratcliff.
Beautiful floral offerings from the
teâchers and pupils were sent with
tlfe remains. Over one hundred
friends and former pupils of the de
ceased accompanied the remains
when they were shipped to Columbus
Tuesday afternoon.
Louisiana Baptists
in Drive for $200,000
Louisiana Baptists are soon to be
gin a whirlwind campaign for |200,
000 in the interest of the Baptist
Bible Institute, New Orleans. This
campaign is to cover the whole state
and to last for one month, beginning
February 9 through March 9. A gath
ering of representative men from all
over the state met in New Orleans
some weeks ago and laid out plans
for an intensive and aggressive can
vass of the whole state. The cam
paign has been organized by parishes
and associations and certain promi
nent men have been selected to man
age the campaign in each district ter
ritory. Judicious and aggressive plans .»
of advertisement will be pursued and
the work of this institution in the
interest of this campaign will be put
before the public through every pos
sible medium of pabheity. It is exr
,( '' r
divicluaT
of the state. Many peopib of Chris
tian faith; ■ and hundreds of others
who have made no profession of faith
at all have shown fine interest in
this institution and large contribu
tions have been assured from many
men of wealth outside of the actual
membership of the Baptist denomi
nation.
Some thirty gatherings in differ
ent parishes and sections of the state*
have been held during the past week
in which the local campaign of these
territories have been thoroughly or
ganized and laid out. Many prom
inent laymen are to take part in the
prosecution of the campaign. Every
church in the state will be visited by
one or more representatives and a
member-to-member canvass will be
made by local committees.
Southern Baptists have shown
great wisdom in the establishment of
this institution in the City of New
Orleans. Though distinctly Southern,
New Orleans is national; though
American, is cosmopolitan. It is to
become the center of the commerce,
religion, education and pleasure for
the whole Southland and for Central
and South America. With a popu
lation of 400,000, representing all
nations oi the earth, there is a world
opportunity for clinic service in re
ligious work such as the institution
proposes to do. The open Bible is
to be the textbook of the institution
and emphasis will be laid in all its
curriculum upon the old fundamental
gospel teaching of the Word of God.
The Bible is taught in English, Span
ish, French and Italian, and Chris
tian workers from these several race*
will be trained in all forms of Chris
tian activities. The present session
has in attendance pupils from seven
states and from four to five nation
alities. The institution holds a unique

Baptists to all Ceneral and South
America. Within the next few years
hundreds of trained workers from
every department of church activities
will be sent out to these countries,
equipped and capable for useful ser
vice in their local communities.
The Baptist Bible Institute nbw
owns the old Sophie Newcomb prop
ety on Washington avenue. This
property is easily worth $300,000 and
has adequate buildings for the main
tenance of the institution in which
there may be housed and taught 300
pupils. It consists of an entire city
