Farmers Will Hold
Great Meet Saturday
It is expected that one of the larg
est numbers of farmers to meet in
Bogaiusa for several months will be
here next Saturday when a meeting
has been called by the officials of the
Bogaiusa Farm Products Company to
explain to the farmers how to sort
and pack their sweet potato harvest
for the local canning plant.
The price the local company wall
pay will be be announced at the meet
ing Saturday and there will be other
valuable information given to the
farmers.
Following the discussion of the po
tato crop, J. P. Starns, chairman of
the Farmers' Division of the Bogaiusa
Chamber of Commerce, will try to in
duce the farmers to plant a small
acreage to broom corn. A fixed price
will be paid by the Bogaiusa Broom
Works for the harvested broom corn.
The Chamber of Commerce will
serve refreshments, free of charge,
to all visitors.
The meeting will be held in the
City Hall and will be called to order
promptly at 11 o'clock. Every farm
er is urged to attend and to notify
all farmers in his vicinity of the
meeting.
Brunot Confident
Of Being Elected
Hon. H. F. Brunot, candidate for
the Supreme Court, came into Boga
iusa Tuesday night on a swing
through the district. Judge Brunot
is making a vigorous campaign and
states that he is meeting with strong
encouragement everywhere. Judge
Brunot made the following state
ment: .
"I am going to win. I want my
friends in Bogaiusa to stand by me.
In the first primary there were influ
ential friends who were not able to
be active because of local conditions
in the various parishes. Now that
everybody is out of the field by my
self and Judge Reid, they are working
for me.
''Judge Reid's lead in the first pri
mary will be overcome in my own
pariah. My additional majority in
East Baton Rouge will be more than
his present lead. The parishes west
of the river are practically solid for
me.
"My friends in New Roads, Judge
Carruth's home, arranged a mass
meeting for me last Friday night that
overflowed the courthouse. Many
people could not get in the court
room. Judge Carruth presided, Ferd
Claiborne spoke in my behalf, as did
J. H. Morrison, district attorney, and
others. Judge Reid held a meeting
at the same place the next day, at
which less than fifty attended, yet
the New Orleans States makes it ap
pear that he had a wetoderful crowd,
and said nothing about my meeting.
I am making this fight in this dis
trict and not in New Orleans, nor in
the New Orleans newspapers.''
Judge Reid Reported Sick
In Baton Rouge Hotel
Friends of Judge Robert Reid of
Amite, La., who lead the field in the
recent primary for judge of the Su
preme Court, and who is to be in
the run-off with Judge Brunot of
Baton Rouge on October 17, was re
ported as being very sick at a hotel
in Baton Rouge. His illness followed
a big meeting- at New Roads.
Judge Reid has many warm friends
in Bogaiusa and Washington parish
who hope his illness will not be se
rious and that he will be able to re
sume his campaign within the next
few days.
Everything Ready For
Parish Fair Next Week
Everything is in readiness for the
annual Washington Parish Fair,
which will be held October 11 to Oc
tober 14 at Franklinton, and the of
ficers are confident the event this
year will surpass those of any pre
vious years.
The exhibition of farm products,
live stock, etc., will be unsually large,
and the prizes will be as great as in
past years.
Franklinton is making arrange
ments to entertain the largest crowds
in the history of that city, as there
are now excellent roads leading to
the parish seat from everfy direction.
Bogaiusa will likely send a large
crowd each day.

INJURED ON GOLF LINKS
Miss Eleanor Adamson, one of the
popular teachers in the Bogaiusa
schools, sustained a severe cut on the j
forehead which will keep her from 1
her duties feor the remainder of thei
week.
The accident occurred on the links j
of the Bogaiusa Country Club Friday)
afternoon when she walked too close'
to S. Lacy Dickerson as he was in the !
act of driving. Miss Adamson's in-J
jury, vrhile painful, was not serious,;
and will not, most likely, leave a scar.)
FLANN1GAN SERIOUSLY ILL
Ed Flannigan, one of the most
valued employes of the Great South
ern Lumber Company, has been con
fined to his bed for the past several
days with a severe attack of pleuresy
and reports from his bedside are to
the effect that he is now resting well
and hopes to be at his desk within
in the next few days.
Rev. Burke Culpepper, Evangelist
Rev. Culpepper, an evangelist of nation-wide reputa
tion, will open a big revival meeting in the Armory to
night under the auspices of the First Methodist Church.
This meeting was to have opened last Sunday, but owing
to illness, the evangelist was unable to keep-his appoint
ment. "Put God First" is his motto.
Superior Avenue Sunday
School Attendance 133
There were 133 in Sunday School
at the Superior Avenue Baptist
Church last Sunday, and two joined
the church at the evening service.
The attendance on the part of the
officers and teachers of the Sunday
School was extraordinarily good.
There is to be a teachers' and offi
cers' meeting next Thursday evening
at 7:30, when plans and policies for
the new year's work will be discussed
and adopted.
A 11
PROCLAMATION
The time has come when the people of this
country are looking to the conservation of the
natural and the preservation of created re
sources of this country. Our forests, and our
animal and bird life are being preserved; our
water power and waterways developed and
utilized and the hidden forces of Nature con
served and made subservient to the well-being
of man.
But there is no drain so appalling, so use
less, as the enormous annual fire waste of this
country, amounting to more than $350,000,000.
Statistics compiled by the Fire Marshal's De
partment of Louisiana show that the fire loss in
this state for 1921 amounted to $6,347,541, or
more than the cost of maintaining the state gov
ernment during the same period.
We have learned that it is easier and cheap
er to prevent than to extinguish fires, and the
enormous fire w r aste can be minimized by edu
cation and active co-operation for fire-fighting.
The week beginning October 2nd and end
ing October 9th has been set aside as 'FIRE
PREVENTION WEEK," and during this week
fire drills should be held in institutions, factories
and in public, parochial and private schools, and
I earnestly recommend that short talks be given
by the teachers on the danger of fire and the
simpler means of fire prevention.
Conservation of life and property from fire
is a patriotic duty, and I urge every citizen and
civic body to loin in the observance of "FIRE
PREVENTION WEEK."
Thus done and signed at my office in the
City, Hall, City of Bogaiusa, this the 2nd day of
October, 1922.
W. H. SULLIVAN, Mayor.
Frank Sullivan's Baby
Is Now Out of Danger
Frank T., little son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank T. Sullivan, who haa been suf
fer with an attack of pneumonia for
the past two weeks, has shown a
steady improvement and is now out
of danger.
UNDERGOES OPERATION v
A. McMillan, a well known citizen
who recently underwent an operation,
was compelled to undergo a second
one this week. He was resisting as
well as could be expected Tuesday
afternoon.
Rousing Meeting at
Elks' Home Friday
One of the most interesting meet
ing to be held in the history of the
Bogaiusa lodge of Elks will be on to
morrow (Friday) night, at which
meeting W. A. Avriett will announce
the result of his campaign for new
members.
When Mr. Avriett started, he an
nounced he would secure 100 new
members. That goal was passed last
week and it is stated he will an
nounce between 115 and 125.
At the meeting Friday the date of
the big initiation will be fixed and
•dans agreed upon. Other important
business will come before the meet
ing and all members are urged to be
present.
80GALUSANS ENJOY
FIRST BIG CIRCUS
Business in Bogaiusa was practi
cally suspended on last Monday when
the John Robinson Circus came to
town. It was the first time a big
circus ever visited this city and the
children and most of the grown-ups
were out early. The old and young
k.ds witnessed the parade two", and
some three times.
At the afternoon performance a
crowd estimated at 2500 was in at
tendance, while the evening perform
ance attracted a much larger crowd.
The show was almost up to the
standard of the Robinson reputation,
despite the fact that they will close
their season in a few days.
LOCAL MAN DEFEATS
EUROPEAN CHAMPION
Bogaiusa came in for honors on
Monday night when Gilbert Morris,
a foreman at the plant of the Great
Southern Lumber Company, accepted
the challenge issued to anyone who
would stay on the mat for fifteen
minutes, without being pinned, with
Hansen, the champion middleweight
wrestler of Europe.
Not only did Morris stay with the
champion for 15 minutes, but he had
the European champion yelling on
two occasions with a toe hold. The
local man received $50 for his 15
minutes work and the wrestling fans
were wild with enthusiasm.
16 HEAD OF CATTLE
PERISH IN FLAMES
Hackley, La., Act. 1.—James King,
on* of the best known farmers of the
parish, suffered a great loss last Wed
neseday night when fire destroyed
his two large barns. Sixteen head
of cattle were destroyed in the blaze,
the fire having gained such headway
before it was discovered that it was
impossible to get them from the burn
ing buildings. Two buggies, all the
fanning tools and 400 bushels of
corn were destroyed.
The loss will reach into thousands
of dollars. It is not known whether
Mr. King carried insurance or not
Cotton and Corn Crop* Good
The cotton in this vicinity has been
gathered and ginned and a splendid
yield* is reported. The farmers also
harvested a good corn crop and the
year, taken as a whole, has been an
unusually good one.
Forestry Agents Prevent Fires
The Great Southern agents of the
forestry department have been giv
ing the woods unusual attention dur
ing the dry period, which no doubt
has prevented some very serious for
est fires.
Farmers Cutting Hay
The farmers in this section have
been mowing their hay during the
past week, and never have they en
joyed more ideal weather for har
vesting and curing. A good crop is
reported by all.
The big camps of the Bogaiusa
Turpentime Company are being
erected two miles east of this city.
-o
CITY ENGINEER HAS VOCATION
ASIDE FROM BUILDING STREETS
H. E. Willis, the popular city en
gineer, has again demonstrated his
versatility. He can not only build
and maintain good streets, but last
week he brought a Rhode sland Red
spring rooster to The Enterprise that
weighed 5% pounds. The rooster
was pronounced one of the finest
ever seen in this section, considering
his tender age.
During the war, when everyone
was supposed to have a garden, Mr.
Willis had a small farm on which he
raised some of the finest vegetables
in Washington parish.
When Mr. Willis is done with en
gineering work, he will likely retire
to a suburban farm where he will
spend a life of ease raising vegetables
and chickens.
JESS MORRELL GETS
DISCHARGE FROM HOSPITAL
Jess Morrell, one of the best known
and most popular employes of the
Bogaiusa Paper Company, as well as
his legion of friends, are rejoicing
over the fact that he has been per
manently discharged from the Eliza
beth Sullivan Memorial Hospital,
where he was a patient for several
weeks, suffering with a badly infect
ed arm. He is back on his job again.
MAYOR EXPECTED HOME
Mayor and Mrs. Sullivan, who left
two weeks ago for a visit in the North
and East, are expected to return
home tomorrow or Saturday.
N. 0. G. N. Shopmen
Returning To Work
W. E. Ferris, general manager of
the New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad Company, was in Bogaiusa
Tuesday and with other officers of
the company reached an agreement
with the employes of the local shops,
who have been on strike since July
1st. Wednesday morning fifteen em
ployes were returned to work and
more will be added from time to time.
Just when all the men who went out
in July will be back at their jobs de
pends entirely upon conditions.
The embargoes and shortage of
freight cars is not expected to im
prove to any great extent in the im
mediate future, and as the rebuilding
of freight cars has been done at the
Southern Car Company for several
months, it is expected that it will be
several weeks before the 180 men are
all at work again.
It was also agreed, according to re
ports, that the men who have been
working in the local shop,* since the
strike are not to be interfered with
and will, therefore, retain their jobs.
The men return at the old wages.
The calling out of the men in the
local shops was one of the most pe
culiar situations in the history of or
ganized labor. The men here were
working for less money than the
shopmen oyer the country who went
on a strike against lower wages.
However, the head of the shopmen's
union ordered the local men out. The
local men had nothing whatsoever to
gain by going on a strike, but had
they refused to obey the orders of
their national officers, they would
probably Jiave been heavily penalized
or had their charter called in, which
would have made it impossible for
these men to work in any organized
shop.
With the settlement of the strike
at the shops, Bogaiusa can look for
ward to a most prosperous era.
The lumber market is good, both
pine and hardwood being in gi#at de
mand, and prices are also firm. The
car shortage is expected to remain a
serious handicap for the next few
months, but it is believed the situa
tion will gradually improve, especi
ally in this section, as the Southern
and Louisville and Nashville shop
men have returned to work.
NEWSY NOTES FROM
COUNTRY CLUB LINKS
(By Tam-»-Skaat*r)
Boys, this would be • fine time to
seat Mr. Wuescher in a new automo
bile. In fact, it may pay to call, on
him if you have anything to sell, for
he is very much pleased with himself
and in a good humor. He shot a 41
two straignt days. Of course, it goes
without saying, he kept his own score.
Mr. Lorence broke the course rec
ord by shooting a 34. Boy, page Mr.
Ames and Mr. Morgan.
Beginning October 1st, there will
be a tournament every Saturday or
Sunday. Mr. Wuescher, the presi
dent of the Bogaiusa Country Club,
is now in communication with Ham
mond, La., Laurel and Jackson, Miss.,
and other country clubs in this vicin
ity, and all of them are enthused with
the idea.
The weather is now getting cold
and we would like to have an in
crease in the number of ladies play
ing. * We can see no reason why
there should not be a great number
of lady golfers in Bogaiusa.
The Hammond club is not alto
gether satisfied withour boys going
over and bringing back the bacon.
So, sometime, about the 7th inst., a
party, headed by our old friend, Tur
pie, is coming over for revenge. Of
course, we expect to feed them out
of the same spoon on our own course.
If I had anything like a course rec
ord, I would slip a little ''pizen" in
Morgan's coffee, for he again broke
his own record by shooting a 37.
It is hard to tell how the little
daily match between Rev. Elmer C.
Gunn, one S. Lacy Dickerson and
Dr. Brock is coming out. For up to
the present writing, we have never
been able to get the three of them to
gether at one time, but singular, ach
one wins every day. The strange
thing is how Lacy and Doc ever
fooled the preacher by getting into
his company; but we will have to hand
it to them for keeping him fooled.
Here is a good one: Dr. Brock
married and the next day went out
to play his daily round, missed the
ball and fell flat of back. (There's
a reason for everything—even to
grape nuts).
With a very few lessons, Paul O.
LeBlanc has straightened them out
and is laying them straight down Ibe
fairway. Speaks well ior our new
instructor. More of you have bet
ter try him, he might do as much for
you.
All things are possible. Our old
friend, Harry Excellent Hoppen is
preparing to take his first golf lesson
in the beginning of next week. A
great many are betting on Hop—per
sonally, we are going to wait and see
the outcome.
Riley Get* Promotion

M. C. Riley, for the past two years
superintendent of the local plant of
the Colonial Creosoting Company,
has been placed in charge of the pur
chasing department for the Southern
organization and his office will be
