MISSES MOAK WILL
CAPTAIN LADY TEAMS
Miss Ethel Mitchell, general chair
man of the Business and Professional
Women's teams who are to conduct
the canvass for /hew subscribers to
The Enterprise/ announces that the
Misses Pearl and Ruby Moak, two of
the • most popular young ladies of
the club, have been selected as cap
tains of two teams.
Miss Pearl, who is employed in the
N. O. G. N. auditor's office, has an
nounced her teams as follows:
Misses Effie Dillon, Grace Gayer,
Willie Moye, Z. Kirksey, C. Las
seigne and Lucy Wadsworth.
Miss Ruby Moak, of the Great
Southern Lumber Company office,
announces the personnel of her
team as follows:
Misses Rebecca Holden, Mary E.
Jones, Beatrice Mason, Alyne New
ell, Maida Covington and Mrs. Z.
J. Lee.
The ladies expect to have their
canvass well under way by the early
part of next week. The conte^ was
to have started last month, but so
many of the members of the Business
Women's Club were away on vaca
tion, as were also a number of citi
zens, that it was thought best not to
launch the contest until the middle of
August.
The business women will receive
one-third of all money collected by
them for subscription to The Enter
prise, whether it De for ijew subscrib
ers, or advance payments by sub
scribers who are now taking The En
terprise.
No subscriber will be permitted
to pay for more than five years in
advance. The ladies are confident
they will collect from not less than
1000 Enterprise readers, which, will
net them $500, and which, with their
present funds, will permit them to
carry out their plans for the year
without giving benefits of any sort.
The Enterprise urges you to pay
your subscription to these ladies.
Subscribers whose subscriptions ex
pired during the past few weeks and
whose papers have not been discon
tinued, should make payment to these
ladles at their earliest convienience,
as The Enterprise cannot carry de
linquent subscriptions.
Readers of The Enterprise will
find the month and year in which
their subscription expires on the la
bel on the paper which you receive.
If you will make payment to these
ladies, they will appreciate your co
operation, as will the management of
this newspaper.

Big
Radio Set To Remain
Here For Several Weeks
V
;
j
The powerful radiophone set which
the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany is to install shortly in one of
its logging çamps will be retained in
Bogalusa for several weeks, through
the kindness of Mr. Sullivan, who is
anxious that every person in Boga
lusa have the opportunity of seeing
and hearing one of the finest radio
sets in the country in operation, and
hearing some of the splendid con
certs that are being broadcasted
nightly all over the country.
Mr. Sullivan hàs arranged for the
set to remain in the Y. M. C. A. gym
nasium, where it is at present in
stalled, until about the first of Oc
tober, when it will be mov«i to one
of the logging camps for the enter
tainment of the men in the camps
who get so little outside amusement
and news of the day. . .
The public is cordially invited to
attend the radio concerts which start
each night with the Atlantic Jour
nal's program at 7 o'clock. There
is no admission chargp whatever and
all are welcome. Some of the other
programs heard nightly are from St.
Louis, Louisville, Memphis, Houston,
Detroit. Shreveport, New Orleans,
etc. Final baseball returns are
broadcasted from different cities,
starting with the Atlanta Journal s
program.
The set will be in charge of a com-
petent operator nightly from 7 to 9
o'clock, at which time practically all
concerts end. The Atlanta Journal
maintains a 10:45 program or the
benefit of listeners on the Pacific
Coast and on special occasions, or
for some special program, the set at
the Y. M. C. A. will be in operation
for this late program.

TO PAY HALF COST
OF ARTIFICIAL LIMBS !
If you know a citizen of Bogalusa
or Washington parish who has lost
a limb, and contemplates the pur
chase of an artificial on?, half the
cost of such limb will be paid by T.
H. Harris, superintendent of educa
tion for the State of Lousiana, who
has federal funds at his disposal for
such work, according to a letter re
ceived by Prof. Ratliff Tuesday.
This applies to any resident, re-
gardless of how the limb may have
been lost. All that is necessary to
secure the federal aid is to write to
T. H. Harris, Baton Rouge, La., for
application blank, or those so desir-
ing may have Prof. Ratliff write for
them. 1

Ye Weather Rhyme
(By Vic Calver)
Our future efforts we define.
Without the slightest hesitation,
To raise a second growth of pine
By methods of reforestation.
Some trees for saw logs are designed
When grown enough to merit tak
ing.
While with this industry combined
Will be the art of paper making.
Great mills will rear their towering
stacks,
To every business man's enjoy
ment,
As these w T ill help reduce the tax
And steadily afford employment.
Then Bogalusa's fame will spread
Abroad through every foreign na
tion,
And, as it marches straight ahead,
Arouse increasing admiration.
These lines are written in advance,
And hastily are slug together.
So we must tak<> a sporting chance
Predicting stuff about the weather.
Sc—we forecast there'll be no snow,
But heat, we reckon, may be gain
ing,
And if it isn't clear, we know'
The chances are it will be raining.
