FACTS ABOUT ZINC.
1t Is Metal Which Creates Good
Bit of Interest.


Bit of Interest.
There seems to be more public cur
ioSity respecting zinc than any othnr
metal, writes Wissenfuer ALE. This
is due probably TO the fact that other
metals come more INTO the daily --ie
and are therefore better understood.
The increase in its use is very great
in most nations of the globe.
As an article of commerce zinc is
known as spelter. Several of the com
pounds of zinc make active medicines,
although in its pure metallic state it
produces no effect on the human econ
omy. It is used extensively for en-
craving plates, for galvanic batteries.
for roofing and for coating telegraph
and oil or wires

CAN FIX SCHEDULES
SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT RAILWAYS MAY BE COMPEL LED TO RUN CONNECTING
 TRAIN.

Washington, May.-The Supreme Court of the United States decided in effect that the railroad commission CTS in the state of North Carolina can compel railroad company operat- ing in that state to so adjust it's sched- ule as to accommodate passengers on other lines from any particular part of the state. The opinion was deliver ed by Justice White in the case of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad vs the Corporation Commission of North Carolina. The case arose out of the order issued by the commissioners di- recting the railroad company to make connection at Selma at 2:25 D. m. with train on another line running from the eastern part of the state with the object of accommodating passengers whose destination was Raleigh The railroad company resisted the order on the ground that it could not be compiled with without putting on a special train, which would involve ex- tra expense. This, it was contended, amounted to taking property without process of law.
 The commission justied it's course on the ground that compliance with the order was necessary to accommo- date a large part of the public. The Supreme Court of North Carolina held against the railroad company, and it's decision was affirmed by the action of the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that the order of the commission does not affect rates, but is proper act of state reg ulations.

chamois Skins from sheep.

Chamois skins in a majority of cases, according to United States consular report recently issued, are really an oil tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The supply of skins from the chamois is very limited. Enough could not be obtained in a year to supply the United States for more than single day, fair average crop from Switzerland being only about 5000 to 5000 skins. The cha mois skin is heavier than the skin of the sheep or lamb, and much coarser. For strength and durability the cha mois is preferable, but for ordinary use and appearance the oil-tanned sheepskin lining would, in most in- stances, be preferred.

Stick to Your Home.

The condition of the lumber
trade, due partly to over produc-
tlon and partly to the financial
troubles of the day, is to be still
further depressed by nabllity to
obtain cars for shipment, when
crop movements get further under
way. There have been many mills
shut down and many. more have
made reductions of from 10 10 25
per cent in wages. Many mill
hands In ST. Tammany Parish who
had comfortable farms and were
enticed away by visions of high
wages and the handling of money
in larger amounts than they had
been accustomed 10 will see the
error, now that 1t Is too late. Feed
that should have been raised at
home will now have to be purchased
at high prices or cattle will have
to be sold at sacrifice, and even
those who have been able to lay
aside little money will find it soon
dissipated. 1t will be a lesson to
some who will take heed and bene-
tit by 1t; but there are others who
will be compelled to sell their
homes, before the wluter Ia over.
Stick 10 the farm. 1t may seem
that those about you who are doing
other labor handle more money;
but in the long run. yon will find
that you are at least saving more,
and your farm In constantly IN
creasing in value.

This issue Of the Farmer is the
first number of volume thlrty-four.
We commence this new volume
with pride in the past Of the pa

receive and merit during It's course
the same success and support that
has been accorded it heretofore.
II shall be our lam to make each
succeeding volume an improve
ment, and to give the best service
to the public that is in our power,
that while 1t has the dignity of age
1t may have the strength of youth.

Elements made by tax collectors

AS to the investigation of port
charges at New Orleans, it is rec
commended that a commission be
appointed not exceeding five mem
bers, representing labor organiza-
tions, chipping interests and the
mercantile interests as represented
by the the several exchanges and
Board of Trade of New Orleans,
and that two members at large be
elected. While he believes that
by legislation the evils can be cor

be done in haste. but only after
a thorough and careful lnvestlga-

The Situation.

The people here have become
accustomed to the new rules of the
banks in Covington and the lncon-
venlence Is not nearly as great as
anticipated when the ten-dolIar
limit was first put in force. Build
ing seems to be gong on just the
same, and while there must neces--
sarllY be some curtailment in ex-
tensive business transactions, Gov.
ington Is fairly healthy condition.
By reference to voluntary state.
ment of the st. Tammany Bank
and Banking Company, on the OPP
posite page, it will be noticed that
its condition Is not only healthy,
but that Its reserves are tar IN ex-
cess of the requirements of law.
We know of no bank in the parish
that is not perfectly sound.
Work is progressing on the new
bank building of the Covington
Bank and Trust Company and the
Wehrli building and other stract-
ures in Covlngton, and we notice
that Slidell has awarded the con-
tract fol her town hall and that
$1,000 has been paid on account;
that there is considerable building
being done IN Vaudeville and Abita
Springs, and MadisoDville seems
to be dong her share. The lum-

Good Roads.

There has been issued from the
United States Department of Agrl'
culture, Office of Public Roads, a
circular letter to the press through,
out the different States asking co.
operation in campaign for i'm
provement of the condition of pub
lie roads throughout the Union.
This is a subject of vital I'M
portarce; project the consum
nation of which will be far reach
ing in it's benefits to all commuDi-
ties.
Properly constructed and ser
vIceable roads in ST. TammanY
parish not only mean economy of
wealth, but an influx of settlers
and the widening of educational
influences. 1t is true that to some
extent lack of funds has inter
vened to prevent the construction
of good roads IN our parish; but
this obstacle could be overcome by
better knowledge of the prlnci-
pies governing practical road con-
struction. An acquaintance with
the best method of handling the
material at our disposal, the most
economic servlceable machinery
that can be had and a systematic
and thorough outline of procedure
would almost certainly substitute
success for failure, even with the
funds which have been available.
We are just emerging from an
antiquated state that has for years
been supported by the road funds
with very little resultant good.
But an awakening is at hand.
There is not a member of the Pc
lice Jury to day who Is not giving
some thought to better system
of road Improvement, and there
will probably be evolved some
means for accomplishing an object
so much to be desired. In the
meantime, so far as we are able,
we shall give to the public any in.
formation that may be of service
in constructing roads in our own
parish that may be issued from
the Office of Public Roads.

much distressed, but this Is due
10 the overproduction, rather than
TO financial disturbances. Alto
gether, taking into consideration
the depressing influences that have
been at work in other sections Of
the country, as a result OF thel
speculations of Wall Street, We
may consider that we are very for
tunately situated. Those who are
in position TO Intelligently judge
the outcome appear sangulne that
within the next sixty days matters
will be SO adjusted that business
Will assume 1t normal condition
and confidence be restored.
Many of the five, ten and TWEEN
ty-dollar certificates issued by the
Clearing House in New Orleans
have found their way into this par
lsh and are being accepted by the
banks. Facsimiles of the sigma
lures of bank officials signing these
certificates have been issued TO The
banks, and those accepting certifi-
Gates in course of business trans
actions should see that the seal is
on them and that they are genuine.
AS soon as money eases up in
New Orleans we will feel the bene
fit here in Covlngton. The Ger
mania Savings Bank and Trust
Company, the Commerclal-Ger-
mania, and the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, all of New Orleans,
have between them all arranged for
the shipment of $3.50, 900 in gold.
which will be in New Orleans ID
few days, and the Whitney Ma
tional Bank has issued 100000 in
currency, under the national bank
ing act, which Is secured By United
States bonds.

It was the hope of the people
that business before the Legislature
would not be impeded by factional
differences, and that all private
and political interests would be laid
aside in an effort to carry out the
reforms which it is evident the PEG
pie desire, and which must come
sooner or later. 1t appeared at the
opening OF the session that harmony
prevailed, but when the committees
got to work it soon became evident
that political influences were bound
to creep in, and it becomes more
and more apparent that the work
that is to be done at this time had
better have been deferred until the
regular session. and that much Ut it
will have to be re.enacted.
