scriptions or the aid of associated societies.
Aside from the needs of war, the usefulness
of these troops in civil disturbances, when
the enforcement of law and the protection
Of life and property require prompt and de-
cisive action, gives them an undisputed right
to the support of the communities which
they stand ready to protect. They may be
called upon to risk their lives at moment s
notice. They must sacrifice business inter-
ests, with scarcely any remuneration, when
ever the occasion ARISES for their services,
and it is clearly unjust to expect them to de-
fray their own expenses. They are all
members of our community. They earn
their living and spend their money here
even to the pittance they receive from the
Government.
Unfortunately the Ladies Auxiliary to the
Cavalry troop was separated from it by disa-
greement. We believe the ladies had just
grounds to be displeased, but we do not be-
lieve that the chasm is so wide that it
can not be bridged. A reconciliation is to
be desired, and we hope it will be accom-
plished
Then let us get to work. The ladies could
do much toward raising the fund and some
of it could be gotten by subscription. But
don't let it be said that Covington alone
failed to provide for it's own.

RESPONSIBILITY NOT E,vEo

Inc investigation by the grand i,,rv as
~ Wnom to place the responsibility for the
recent recent deplorable disaster at Mandeville
1eaves the matter just where it stood at the
seartlng point, SO far as the legal STANDING
OF the parties is concerned; but the nuhlie
cannot but be impressed by the fact that
eight out of the twelve members Of the iurv
a1ter thorough investigation, concluded
mat responsibility did not rest upon the st.
ia ., Railway Company.
The placing of responsibility in ali acct
oents where public utility corporations are
concerned has always been difficult matter
ana as a rule the courts have finally been
compelled to settle the matter.
An analysis of the probability of legal re-
sponslbllity in the present case shows that
me OPINION of one man as opposed to that
u eight has interviewed to prevent fixing
Of responsibility, for had there not been this
olIIerence Of opinion of one man the re-
uulred number of nine would have exoner-
atea the railroad company. Public opinion
Is probably in the same proportion, and the
company is at least relieved of the burden of
public condemnation.

WHAT THE FUTURE HAS IN STORE

Supt. Sullivan of the Great Southern Lum-
Der Company was before the Board of Re-
viewers last Monday and talked very inter-
estingly of projects the company has in view
that will add greatly to the prosperity of
this section. One of the most difficult prob
lens encountered in utilizing our cut-over
lands is the expense of removing the stumps
and placing the land in condition for culti-
walton, the cost in many instances being in
excess of the value Of the land. Mr.. Sulli-
van stated that in perhaps a year from
now the company will introduce machinery
that will pull the stumps and convert them
into turpentine, tar alcohol and charcoal at
q rapid rate, and that the company engaged
in this business in Europe pays fair price
for the stumps Also good quality of pa
per can be made from the waste material OF
the mill, and that it is the intention to estab-
lish q mill for.its manufacture.
But the most interesting and remarkable
statement made by Mr.. Sullivan was that
ant of these stumps an excellent food prod
net for cattle can be made that is both appe-
filing and nourishing and that is as palatable
AS grape nuts. The statement has often
been made, in ridicule Of half-starved stock,
that they have been fed on sawdust J" but
fbat the nutritive qualities of this woody
sbar should make it valuable food product
il astonishing indeed.
Mr. SulIiyan's talk was very encouraging
i its prospect for the future DEVELOPMENT
- - fbis section. and his listeners could not
hut be impressed with the fact that the
',,arch of progress involves rapid changes in
+ III. nrosperity and wealth of the piney
woods 10, Of St. Tammany parish. He also
s .,u1 encouragingly of the tendency toward
b;oher prices for lumber and better market
conditions.

A ROMANCE UPRooTED.

In German American Annals for March
and April, Prof. ]. Hanno Deiler, in his con-
trlbutlon, The Settlement Of the German
Coast OF Louisiana uproots very pretty
legend of the German princess, Charlotte
Christine Sophie, of the house of Braun
schWelg-W olfenbuettel, wife of the Care
Vltch Alexis, eldest son of Peter the Great
OF Russia, and one Chevalier d'Aubant, a
French officer. Gayarre has woven very
charming romance about this couple, in
Which the Princess, to escape the brutality
and infidelity Of her husband, Stimulates
death, escapes to Louisiana, where d Aubant
has preceded her, and is united to him in
Wedlock, living an ideally happy life, which
IS commemorated by two gigantic oaks on
the bank of Bayou St. John in front of Al
lard's plantation, planted by them in 1921.
Prof. Deiler has proven regular Sherlock
Holmes in genealogical detective work in his
researches, and he has found no support for
the story, either in the archives of Louisiana
or abroad He concludes that the story was
probably conceived in desire to besmirch
the character and weaken the cause of Alexis,
who was opposed to the reforms of his father,
the Gar, by whom, it was claimed Alexis
was put to death while in prison.

DIARIES AND TRUCK FARMS NEEDED

According to the United States depart
ment of Agriculture, the South is not only
well fitted for dairying industries but is ex-
ceptionally fine in it's opportunities; yet it is
an importer of most of those products used
Especially is this true of the State of Louisi-
ana. According to the census of 1900, there
is no record of any creamery butter made in
Louisiana in 1893, while New Orleans, Ba-
ton Rouge and Shreveport alone handled
4, 1904, 200 pounds. There were only |, lao, 1873
pounds of creamery butter made in thirteen
Southern States that year, while there were
%, 434, 941 pounds handled in those States,
showing that the South does not make one
twentieth of the creamery butter that she
uses, while Louisiana is in still worse pre-
dicament. Besides this these, same three
cities handled 857, 300 pounds of renovated
butter and pa, SOB pounds of oleomargarin,
and also 2,779, 976 pounds of cheese and IA,
900, 900 cans of condensed milk, which they
did not produce
There is steady demand and good market
for these products, yet we in Louisiana,
with every opportunity for their production,
prefer to import them from other States,
while lands lie idle and undeveloped and
farmers struggle for an existence. a..
With the development of dairying and
trucking interests, there would not be found
a more prosperous people in the United
States than the farmers of Louisiana. Those
sections which have gone into the business
heve enjoyed fruit of their discretion. The
truck farmers Of Ponchatoula have paid off
their indebtedness this year, and there is
more money on deposit in the bank than
there has ever been before
We need more cattle and better cattle,
which means more productive soil, more
feed and increased profits. j.
Secretary Knoepfer, Of the Board of I'M
migration, has promised to assist us in the
organization of truckers association, and
it is probable that some effort will be made
to establish one. In the meantime it would
be well for the farmers to think the matter
over and determine whether they are willing
to make an effort to improve their condition.
