tee believe that if the band was or
ganized that they could get out-of
town engagements, and that if an or

out of town for such music.
The American Legion, who will
have charge of the Fourth of July
celebration in Bogalusa this year, will
require the services of one or more
bands. A Bogalusa b^nd would likely
be offered the contract for the fairs

|monster parade in the morning. This
iParade will not only include all avail-

will also be accompanied by two com

of appropriately decorated automo
biles and trade floats. The cavalry
troops, composed of the Franklinton

Other features of the day will be a

Louisiana. Included in this section
of the program will be some high

with the leading lights of the sister
states invited to compete.
A well known carnival company
will furnish amusement during the
entire day and night. The Legion
itself, at its own expense, has secured
the services of some professional en

free to the public. At night there
will be a gorgeous display of fire
works for the young folks'. Blanch
