Police Make Great
Record On Fourth
The manner in which the local po
H ce department handled the big
crowd here on the Fourth of July has
resulted in great praise for the de
partment. With hundreds of out-of
town cars here and at times with
traffic congested, there was not a
single accident. Themas» of cars on I
Fourth street at night, when the fire
works display was concluded, were
handled in a manner that would have
been a credit to the best traffic of
ficers in the country
During the day there were no dis
turbances of any kind, not a single
arrest was made,«- The entire depart
ment was on dutv from early morn-'
ing until midnight, when they re-;
ported at the City Hall. All were so !
tired that they spent the remainder of i
the night at the City Hall so that in
case of a call they, could respond,
promptly.

Coca-Cola Team Won
Two Games Last Week
By defeatoing Franklinton Friday
afternoon by a score of 11 to 1, and
Vamado Sunday afternopn, by a
score of 6 to 9, the Coca-Cola team
chalked up a total of twelve victories
out of fifteen games played this sea
son.
Blackwell pitched great ball against
Franklinton, and Marx pitched a fine
game against Vamado. Blackwell and
Horner hit Reese of Franklinton for
two-baggers. Sunday afternoon the
Coca-Colas knocked Gann of Varnado
out in the fifth inning. Marx and
Horner scoring two-baggers and all
the team hitting him hard.
The Franklinton boys say never h«t
one to the outfield if you want to
land safe at first, for Teddy, Tim and
Red are there.
Franklinton's second baseman tried
to kill Joe Bailey with a hot one, but
couldn't hurt the third sacker. They
also tried our shortstop out, but
found out that it was useless to hit
to Williams. . (
You couldn't hear the rooters for
the Coca-Cola catcher—guess every
one knows who he was
Mr. Mills was on the job with his
hat off. If the Bogalusa team needs
a good storekeeper, we will recom
]mend L. R. Mills or Eli Caiftrell.

SAIL FOR EUROPE
Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Salmen, parents
of Mr« W. H. Sullivan, left Monday
!for an extended tour of Europe.
150 Railroad Men
On Strike Here
Between 150 and 175 employes of
the N. O. G. N. shops were called out
in the nation-wide strike which went
into effect at 10 o'clock Saturday.
As The Enterprise went to press yes
terday afternoon no decision had
been announced as to what action
will be taken. General Manager
Ferris and other officials of the com
pany were in conference.
The situation here is a peculiar
one, as the employes of the local
railroad shops, embracing the six
crafts, have been working for less
____ _______
money than the employes on other
iroads are striking for. It is said, for
example, the machinists here are re
ceiving 60 cents per hour, while the
Labor Board has asked them on other
lines to work for 70 cents an hour.
The local employes were not anx
ious for a strike and after receiving
the order from national headquarters
to walk out on Saturday they sent
several telegrams explaining the local
ÿ*®»« 0 » and a f^ d for further or
ders. The result was thev were or
dered to comply with the original or
der to walk out Saturday at 10 a. m.
I T h « re has been no trouble whatso
£ ver here and the tram service has
been maintained on schedule time,
f Several lines have announced they
woldd organize crews to replace those

"OL' SWIMMIN' HOLE"
MOST POPULAR SPOT
Over three hundred people,, men,
women and children, visited the
swimming pool in Bogue Lusa creek,
back of Little Buffalo, Sunday, and
there is nothing in the city which is
giving the citzenship as much genuine
pleasure as this swimming pool af
forded by nature.
The suggestion made by The En
terprise last week that the city com
plete the road to the creek, take out
some of the snags in the cfeek, make
the place one in which the kiddies
may play and erect two small but in
expensive buildings for the changing
of clothing, has ntet with much favor
able comment.
"Why I know a number of em
ployes who work in the mill with me,' r
said one man who was sitting on the
soon!bank watching his several jchildren
1 p ] a y fh the water, "who would be will
ing to give a dollar to see it improved.
j Unless you have visited this swim
m i n g hole you cannot appreciate what
an ideal spot nature has given the
city. Within a few feet of the banks
there is abundant shade and the
ground could be easily placed in con
dition for an ideal picnic ground.
J There is also a fine sand bar, and by
[expending a few hundred dollars it is
Bogalusa could have a beach
I that would corapare with some of the
t,,c of ' he Unl *'
! Nature has provided spots not half
so beautiful or convenient which have
been taken over by individuals ana
made j n to amusement parks which
bave proven good moneymakers.
