THE ORDINANCE SHOULD BE PASSED

The request of the Fire Department
for an ordinance prohibiting wagons and
other vehicles from driving over hose in
the streets durirg the progress of a fire
should be granted. Damage to the hose
frequently occurs in this manner and might
be the cause of serious loss by fire under
certain conditions. If there were no other
reasons, the wear and tear occasioned by
this practice is sufficient justification for
this ordinance
AS matter of fact, none but members of
the Fire Department should be allowed to
encroach upon reasonable space surround
ing fire. The crowd should be kept back
and the fremen should have free room in
which to fight the fire and handle their ma
chinery.
Chief Ostendorf's criticism of the habit
of leaving open elevator shafts at night or
other openings that can be closed is worthy
of attention. The draft occasioned by these
openings and the danger to the life of fire.
men make them perilous in the extreme.

paid. 1t is confidence in the bank that keeps
the savings in it. If the postal banks are
established they will take large amount of
money away from country banks, and in
times of threatened panics will be an extra
drain on them. Where this money will go
is a question, but it is certrain that it will
be withdrawn from investment in the coun-
try towns and that this will work an injury
to those towns. If postal savings banks are
established it will be because of the demand
for greater security to depositors of small
savings, and while it may satisfy this de-
mand, it is doubtful if much of the savings
of country towns will not find their way to
commercial centers.

HOT WEATHER NOT NECESSARY
FOR MAD DOGS.

In the hot days Of July and August, when
dogs with extended tongues meet you on
the shady side of the streety GU instinctively
step to one side, discreetly noting that dog
days" are at hand and that case Of rabies
is better avoided than treated afterward.
But the bracing breezes of approaching Win
ter find us with more confidence, and we are
ready to dispute the right-of-way with any
hungry and forlorn looking mongrel in our
way even to the extent of pedal demonstra-
ton of our superiority. The experience Of
the past few weeks, however, teaches that
dogs may go mad at any time of the year,
and that it is wise precaution to be watch
full at all times. Children especially should
be cautioned against contact with dogs on
the streets and also against fondling strange
CATS
A few weeks ago several little children
were bitten by a mad dog and underwent
treatment at the Pasteur Institute in New
Orleans. Since then several dogs with the
symptoms of rabies have been killed, and a
proclamation by the Mayor ordered that all
dogs found on the streets unmuzzled should
be shot without further notice. A dog be-
longing. to Victor blanche and one belonging
to W. G. McDuff, both supposed to be suf-
fering from hydrophobia, were killed, and
Friday, December 3, DR.. w. J. Durell had
to kill one of his bird dogs afflicted with the
same malady. Various other dogs were
found on the streets unmuzzled and were
shot by officers of the law in accordance
with instructions. But it seems that cats
as we'll as dogs have become objects Of dan
ger. Itmay be that the cats were bitten by
the rabid dogs. At all events, some cats
had to be killed, among them being one be-
longing to Mrs. w. E. Blossman.
Under the circumstances, it would be we'll
to turn the proclamation into permanent Or
dinance requiring dogs on the streets to be
muzzled. It is better for the owners of dogs
to suffer this slight inconvenience than for
the public TO he Subjected tn risk

4 POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS,

The President in his message recommends
postal savings banks, and says he does so
with the knowledge that they are opposed
in many parts of the country He says:
The postal savings banks are not consti-
tuted for the purpose Of creating COMPETE
ton with other banks. The rate of interest
upon deposits to which they would be limited
would be so small as to prevent their draw
ing deposits from other banks"
We cannot quite agree with this view.
The question of interest in small savings is
of less Importance than the certainty of
security. It will be noticed that the bank
offering the geatest security will secure the
most savings, and the bank burdened with
the least suspicion would not be patronized
by those who have but a few dollars in the
world to lose, no matter what interest was

INTEREST IN PUBLIC SCHOOL.

No school can give best results in face of
Indifference on the part of it's patrons. No
matter how competent it's teachers or how
we'll equipped the school, if not strength
ened by community interest it loses it's great
est incentive to attainment.
Most parents would become indignant if
charged with Indifference to the welfare
of their children or lack of interest as to
their education and advancement. Yet how
many parents exarcine the monthly reports
OF their children, note the studies in which
they are deficient and see that they devote
necessary time to study at home? From
twenty minutes to one hour and half, &C.
cording to the grade, should be devoted to
study at home each day. How many pa
rents see that this is done How many visit
the school and try to make themselves IA
miliar with the work that is done or the
manner in which it is done
The highest number that has visited the
school in any one of the past three months
is seven. If your business was conducted
by an employee would you not occasionally
step in and ascertain if you could do any,
thing to improve the business Is your
child's education Of less Importance
We do not mean to intimate that parents
deliberately disregard the interests of their
children. It is no doubt thoughtlessness,
yet in effect it amounts to the same thing.
Some children come to school tardy ten
out of twenty days; others frequently are
absent during the monthly examinations.
These examinations form part of the per-
centage that goes to make up the monthly
averages and materially affect the standing
of the scholar. Parents should see to it that
their children do not remain from school on
such days, except for sickness or for some
reason that makes it imperative.
The teachers should be encouraged by WIS.,
its from parents and should be made to
feel that their efforts are appreciated. If
note is taken of any defect of system or if
anything in the conduct of the school does
not meet with approval, offer some sugges-
ton for improvement. Show that you have
an interest in the school and you will help to
make it better, and will encourage both
teachers and pupils to best endeavors.

ed much from the September storm. The whole
place is in very bad condition and will take some

LacrOix to Wrcstle OeIsOn.

The announcement is made that on December 81,
is the first opportunity that Lacroix has had to dis
tinguish himself. He has easily conquered every
thing in the amateur line that has been brought to
him. The consequence has been that Covington peo-
pie have not been particularly enthused when a
wrestling match put on
Probably none of the great wrestlers of today made
better showing in their early encounters than
Lacroix has, but they were fortunate enough to
local pride to the extent Of sufficient back
ing to bring them into prominence. In justice to
Lacroix he deserves the opportunity of meeting a
of Oesons prominence in the athletic world and
if he throws Oelson, he will be in position to de-
mand a backing against some of the kings of the
mat and will no doubt be taken in hand by some of
those who always looking for possible champion
in this line We wish him success, and would like to
see him give to Covington a champion wrestler

BUY AT HOME AND PROTECT
HOME INTERESTS.

Now is the time that all are preparing to
Christmas times, and to make home happy
by expressions Of affectionate felicitation,
and the more material remembrance of Santa
Claus.
That every home should be made glad on
this day is acknowledged by it's universal
celebration in all christian lands in memory
Of the blessing the day brought to the world
The custom is full Of the joy of making peo-
pie happy. In the contemplation of bringing
happiness into your own home, are any over
looking the possibility of making it difficult
for others to do the same? You are doing
this if you are going away from home to buy
your Christmas presents.
Many of the merchants of Covington and
other towns in the parish have laid in stock
of Christmas goods with the expectation of
supplying the demand of the holidays, and
some of these goods will not be saleable af-
forwards. If left on the hands of the mer-
chants they will not realize the cost price
and will be a loss to them. Those who go
to New Orleans to buy seldom save money
by it, especially around Christmas time, if
they add to the cost the expense of the trip
and the loss of time, and even if the pur-
chases are made at a time when the trip be-
comes necessary for other reasons, is it not
policy to keep the money home where it is
needed There would be trade enough in
Covington during the holidays for profitable
business for every merchant, If nothing was
bought away from home and it would give
to them Christmas unshadoWed by the
thought Of business losses.
If the thousands of dollars that go out OF
Covington every year to mail order houses,
and the thousands more that are spent i'll
New Orleans were spent in the town, you
would hear little complaint of dull times or
business depression. Perhaps each one
thinks the few dollars they spend in this
way makes little difference; but let us put it
differently If each one spent those few
dollars at home, there would be none sent
away. This money would circulate at home;
it would pay debts and it would pnovide en-
ployment for many.
We want schools; we want improvements;
we want to be a prosperous town. We can
not have these things without money. If
the merchants of town do not prosper it
is pretty good indication that there is pros
perity of no kind. A stranger coming into
town would be discouraged at the report of
bad business opportunities. Yet you can
strike no greater blow at your business COM
munity than to earn your money at home
and spend it elsewhere In doing so you in
jure your property values, or if you have no
property you decrease your opportunities for
earning living.
There is enough money spent by the peo-
pie Of Covington and vicinity, if it was all
spent at home, to allow good business to
every merchant in Covington; and if our ag-
ricultural resources were properly developed
there would be enough spent to support
many more than are now in business.
Spend your money at home and give a
merry Christmas to ALL
