NEW DISCOVERY MADE
IN CANNING BEANS
What is believed to be a new dis
covery in the art of canning beans
was made in Bogalusa last week,
which should result in solving a se
rious question that has confronted the
j local plant and wnich next year would
a
have been a serious proposition.

The beans were coming in so fast |
last week that despite the fact the
plant operated 24 hours a day, they ;
were unable to can thte beans as rap
idly as they were brought in. It was L
decided to send a few hundred bush- !
the Bogalusa Ice Company to keep
the beans from spoiling. Here is the ?
the!result, 'which is best told by Manager'

report of conditions in Bogalusa:
"The city of Bogalusa contains
about half of the population of the
parish, having near 10,000 people.
They have a splendid water supply,
its source being from seven deep
wells. Near 70 per cent of the town
is sewered. The remaining 30 per
cent uses buckets, which are cleaned
weekly. New sewers are being laid
to take the place of this, but the
writer recommended that the fly
