Embargo May Have
Bad Effect Here
Unless there is an improvement jn
the supply of cars, the congestion on
some of the railroads improved, it
need not cause ' surprise if the re
sults are keenly felt in Bogalusa.
It is stated that there are more |
than two thousand cars between Sli
dell and Meridian on the Southern
railroad, which have been there from
tow to three weeks.
On Monday an embargo went into
effect on the Mississippi Central
which will prevent shipments of lum
ber from going east of Fulton, Ky.,
or north of Cairo, 111. It is stated
that the Illinois Central yards are so
crowded with business that they do
not have the locomotive power to
keep it moving, and as a result the
embargo was ordered. Just how long
it will remain in effect is not known,
but if it remains in force any length
of time, little lumber qan be shipped.

Dance At*K. o fC. Home
Next Saturday Night
A dance will be given at the K.
of C. home on Avenue B next Sat
urday evening and admission will be
by invitation. Blanchard's Orchestra
has been engaged to furnish music
for the occasion.
The event will, no doubt, attract a
large attendance, as those who at
tended the opening ball given by the
Knights of Columbus are of the opin
ion that was a most enjoyable event
and that the dance Saturday night
will be just as enjoyable, state the
committee in charge.
BOGALUSA WINS FROM
SLIDELL SUNDAY, 17-6
At Slidell last Sunday, for the sec
ond time this season, Bogalusa de
featd the Slidell club by a score of
17 to 6. Though Slidell had several
new players in their line-up, includ
ing Cochran, a speed-ball pitcher, the
slugging of locals proved too much
for the "brickmakers. Bogalusa se
cured 15 hits off Cochran, amongst
them a double, five triples and a
home run. In addition, eight bases
were stolen off Decker, Boyd and
Stevens stealing at will.
The locals used Louis Marx and
Verrett on the mound, and at no time
did Slidell have a chance. Due to the
poor condition of the diamond, Boga
lusa was charged with seven errors,
but their hard hitting more than
made up for the miscues. Boyd, in
fives times at bat, secured a single,
a double and two triples, stole three
bases, third twice. Stevens secured
a single, triple and home run out of
five trips to the plate. The work of
these two men was easily the feature
of the game. A fair crowd witnessed
the game. The box score follows:

Bogalusa, The Superb
(By VIC CALVER)
Behold, where the forest primeval
Its columns of pine to the sky
Flung high, like some great green cathedral
That Eternity seemed to defy,
Now rises a City of Wonder,
Carved straight from the heart of the pine,
When the saw and the ax burst asunder
That tangle of forest and vine.
Here came one possessed*.of great vision ;
To him was the Future revealed,
And he glimpsed here a City Elysian
Encompassed by woodland and field.
No thought of thg n^pil and the labor
This pioneer's purpose could daunt,
But Genius he used as a sabre,
Cutting Wealth from a Province of Want.
Then axes flashed high in thé jungle,
And great plumed monarchs lay low.
No thought of a failure or bungle—
'Twas time for the forest to go !
So the saws sang their sibilant chorus,
Where, gleaming, rose over the hill
Shining rails, bringing Progress before us,
As they swept on their way to the Mill.
Thus Energy, Courage and Knowledge
The forest has conquered at last—
By wisdom not gained in a college,
But learned in the wilderness vast.
And now, where the woodland was deepest,
Where savages crept through the gloom,
Where shadows were longest and steepest,
Arises the Mill's mighty plume!
This plume a victorious banner
That waves o'er a City Supreme ;
And this was the method and manner
The City supplanted the Dream.
So hail, Bogalusa! Your splendor
Is known to the ends of the earth !
And hail to its author, defender,
The Man who has givçn it birth!

Ye Enterprising
Weather Rhyme
(By VIC CALVER)
The Weather Rhymer of the
New Orleans Times-Picayune,
who could, not take a vacation
without spending a few days in
Bogalusa, pauses to give to Bo
galusa its first weather rhyme.
The occasion is most auspicious
—the anniversary of the birth
day of a gentleman known to
every citizen, who rejoices in
the name of W. H. Sullivan. If
the readers of this column can
get one-tenth of the enjoyment
out of this little rhyme that the
guy that built it did, believe me,
they are going to be going some.
So, here we are:
Today us folks are letting loose
A triumphant yell for Bogaluse,
Because it is the day we. plan
To shriek for William Sulli-van!
Mayor Billy thought his duty
plain
To march around with Mayor
McShane
In New Orleans, with full ac
cord,
To glorify one, Henry Ford.
But here in Bogalusa Town
We do not think of Ford's re
nown,
But rather our respects we pay
To Sullivan—his natal day!
So, when of Orleans he grows
tired—
With thoughts of home his soul
inspired—
We know he'll catch an early
train
To come back to his town again.
Oh, yes! I most forgot to say
What the weather'll be today;
And I don't think I really can.
So much we miss Bill Sulli-van!
And how can weather I define
Without the help of Dr. Cline,?
But just to give a weatheir
touch,
We think the weather won't be
much.
