JERUSALEM TEMPLE
A. A. O. N. M. S.
Oasis New Orleans
New Orleans, May 4, 1922.
Col. W. H. Sullivan,
Bogalusa, La.
My Dear Noble Sullivan :
No place that Jerusalem
Temple has visited has given
such a wonderful reception as
was Bogalusa's last Saturday.
No Noble or ladies accom
panying the Nobles were per
mitted to walk about the
streets of Bogalusa; no resi
dent of Bogalusa, rich or poor,
white or black, failed to greet
us with a smile and to do
everything possible to make
our visit delightful.
Permit me to thank you, on
on behalf of Jerusalem Tern-,
pie, for the success of its
greatest ceremonial.
Yours in the faith,
H. D. ROBINSON,
Potentate, Jerusalem Temple.

Creating Demand for

j

♦
♦
Further evidence that the N. O. G.
N. railroad is doing everything in its
j power to assist the truck growers on
its line to make a big success appears
the country, in which a page ad
vertisement is used by the N. O. G. N.
announcing 500 cars of vegetables,
700 carloads of watermelons, 25 car
loads of green beans, 10 cars of early
potatoes and 165 cats of mixed vege
; tables.
The advertisement is already bring
1 ing results,'and it is expected that
.within the next few days the demand
for products will exceed the supply.
J As soon as the Northern markets
no longer offer a good price for vege
five!tables, they will be canned at the lo
plant.
BLACKBERRY PICKERS
WANTED NEXT WEEK
. . .. . . . T, , ' '
the Cincinnati (Ohio) Packer, one .
.of the leading agricultural magazines
If you are good at picking black
berries, you are wanted. You can
also make good money, and get your
pay every day, for there is to be an
unusual crop of blackberries this
year, and if neighborhoods will organ
ize, the canning factory will send a
truck to a point in that vicinity to
load the berries,
It is believed there will be berries
sufficient quantities to permit the
canning of several hundred cases.
Those interested should see Man

Dinner for Teachers
Mrs. W. C. Flanders gave one of
the most delightful dinner parties of
the year at the Pine Tree Inn Tues
day evening, complimentary to the
teachers of the grammar grades in the
High School building. Manager Gar-.many
prepared a special meal, while
Gardener Boyd arranged the beauti
ful floral decorations.
Those enjoying the repast were:

City Schools Badly
In Need of Money
:|
Further retrenchment in the cost
j of operating the city schools will be
necessary to carry on the work next
parish school
the amount
jyear, owing to the fnct that there
; will be from 200 to 300 children at
. tending schools in Bogalusa who live
outside the city.
j Commissioner of Education Starns
and the Commission Council are fac
[ ing a difficult situation. No member
jwants to refuse admittance to the
j schools here to a child living outside
jthe city limits, whereas if the city re
1 ceived as much from th
♦fund as was paid in, ___________ t
♦jwould be sufficient.
I It is stated that about $50.000 an-1
♦;nually is paid into the parish school
fund, and only $30,000 comes back.
I If this $20,000 was taken from the
j parish schools, it would work a hs.rd
j ship on the schools of the entire par
jish, so the question at present is one
of interest to every citizen, whether
he lives in Bogalusa or in the parish.
Commissioner Starns and Prof.
Ratliff, as well as members of the
Commission Council, are all trying to
devise some plan to meet the deficit.

City $550 to Install Here !
Walter Leahy, representing the Bo
galusa Radiophone Company, tcld the
Commission Council Tuesday that for
approximately $500 he could equip
a radiophone station here, including
amplifiers, which makes tones as au- ■
dible as a Victrola, and also arrange !
to have the same instrument take
programs at the High School and in j
Goodyear Park. j
Mr. Leahy stated that owing to |
atmospheric conditions only programs j
from nearby cities could be received '
at present, but during the fall and |

taken. I

Which Way Do You
Motor This Week?

there is a heavy rainfall between to - 1

the roads being even worse, or if the

New Orleans yesterday morning in an
unconscious condition. An operation
will be performed to remove a small
screw w'hich the child swallowed Tues
day afternoon and which lodged in

be necessary.

Big Celebration
Here July Fourth
The greatest Fourth of July cele
bration in the history of Bogalusa
will be held this year, unless the
weather man interferes, tot the cele
bration will be given under the au
spices of the Magic City Post of the
American Legion and already com
mittees are at work perfecting plans.
Every member of the Legion, as well
as a number of citizens, have pledged
100 per cent co-operation.
Mayor Sullivan has extended an
invitation to Governor John M. Par
ker, of Louisiana, and Governor Lee
Russell of Mississippi, to attend the
celebration here and to speak on that
date.
J. B. Lindsley, who has charge of
the amusements, is in touch with sev
eral big features. The event will be
advertised in every town within a
radius of 50 miles of Bogalusa.
With the great improvement in the
highways leading to Bogalusa and the
receding high waters in the rivers
will make it poossible for hundreds to
attend the celebration who have never
taken in one of Bogalusa's birthday
parties.
DEATH FOLLOWS
TUMOR OPERATION
Mrs. J. W. Smitht, wife of a G. S.
L. millwright, died at the Eljzabeth
Sullivan Memorial Hospital last
Thursday, following an operation for
tumor of the stomach. Mrs. Smith
was 40 years old and resided on Har
per street. The family have resided
in Bogalusa but a short time.
The remains were shipped to Quit
man, Miss., for burial.
JUDGE OTT ANXIOUS
TO LEAVE BENCH
Announcement was made Tuesday
that Judge C. Ellis Ott, for eight
years judge of the City Court, was
anxious to retire from the city bench,
whereupon a committee composed of
Commissioners Lindsley and Cassidy
was appointed to wait on Mr. Ott and
try to induce him to remain at the
post he has occupied so well.
Mr. Ott is endowed with qualifica
tions which make him especially an
ideal man for any judgeship. He has
given the citizens of Bogalusa an ad
ministration that is considered un
usual, and it would be with keen re
gret to all citizens if he should give
up the work at the end of his present
term. *
In the event that Judge Ott does
not reconsider his announcement to
retire, it will be necessary for the
Legislature to change the charter of
Bogalusa, for he and Judge B. D. Tal
ley, city attorney, are the only two
citizens eligible for the job. In the
event the law is changd, Bogalusa
would have three young men who
would be eligible for the position.
YOUNG MOTHER IS

Funeral services were conducted at
the Church of Annunciation Friday
morning at 10 o'clock and burial was
in Bogalusa Cemetery, with a large
