FROM C. Nj. LIDDLE.
He Has Seen and Heard
Dr. Cook and Seen the
Airships-Has Had a
Great Time i'm a
Great City.
st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 9, 1909.

| Editor tarmer:-
In company with J. A. Bousquet I
left Slidell last Monday morning for
this great city. We came through
parts of five States. and have been in
state of satisfaction ever since.
We have been treated with hospital
ity and honors out of the ordinary.
Have had complimentary tickets to
several important functions and also
to the lecture of the great and only
DR.. Cook. of North Pole fame; we
have had choice seats and the full
benefit of his lecture and scenery.
He looks like W. P. Russell and is a
money maker at ten thousand dollars
an hour, some tickets selling at TWEEN
ty-fve dollars. The shouting lasted
for several minutes when he came on
the stage. He was also in the pro-
cession of Friday.
And as to professions and parades,
oh, my! good old New Orleans is not
in the same class as St. Louis, in al
most everything. One feature we do
not like here is no "Jim Crow" car
laW-negroes ride on cars same as
white folks,
This city has just now more than
million population and a Mardi Gras
crowd all the time A train goes
and comes every minute of every day.
There are more than thirty big shoe
factories here and other industries in
proportion. We went into one shoe
house and saw a two-million dollar
stock, and many shoes of the firm are
sold in Slidell. They gave US atwen-
ty-five mile spin in six thousand
dollar auto.
There are no "muskeeters" here.
The air is pure and bracing. We
have seen numbers Of great things
and sights, and have wished for all
our friends to be with US. Oliver
Aiken ought to come up here and
farm right. We haye seen several
pumpkins larger than a flour barrel
and have taken in the pumpkin pie
quite often. And as to eating, we
are hungry also often.
Well, we have been here a week,
have seen the great Curtiss aeroplane,
and Baldwin fly in his dirigable, and
heard and seen DIR. Frederick A.
Cook. We have seen the greatest |
spectacular demonstrations, and in
decorations, in size and enthusiasm of |
the crowds, in the variety and COM
pleteness of attractions, the St. Louis |
Centennial is far ahead of anything |
ever in the United States. DIR. Cook |
said that next to the North Pole dis
covery this has been the happiest time
of his life.
Now goodbye; we must get ready |
for the big banquet tonight. Then |
tomorrow we tear ourselves away and |
leave for home.

A GRAND SUCCESS,
The Farmers Subscrip-
tiOn Contest Closes
With q Dance ut
Cantrelie'S Hall.

A large crowd assembled at Can
trelle's Hall Tuesday night to witness
the closing of The Farmers subscrip-
ton contest. The ballot box was
placed near the music stand in the
center of the hall, where it remained
open for the deposit of ballots until 9
O'Clock p. m. Promptly at this hour
Mayor Richard announced the contest
closed and the counting proceeded on
the stage Of the hall, each contestant
having a representative present to
look after her interest, as follows:
Miss Esther Combel, H. R. Warren;
Miss Eugene Heintz, J. l.. Smith;
Mrs. Alfred Smith, Mayor E. V.
Richard; Miss Mary Biggio, Willie
Michaelis; Miss Euphemie Richard,
Earl Smith. All the other contestants
had dropped out of the race and their
ballots were not counted. 1t had been
generally conceded that Miss Combel
would win the first prize; hence the
counting of Miss Heintz's ballots Gre
ated some excitement as the amount
gradually approached the total of
Miss Combel, stopping but a small
number below it. Following was the
result of the count: Miss Combel,
1879, 280; Miss Heintz, 1860; Mrs.
Smith, 125, 080; Miss Mary Biggio,
116, $50; Miss Richard, $3.50.
The total number of votes cast in
the contest was was 734, 800.
Judge Thos. M. Burns then awarded
the prizes in few we'll chosen words,
complimenting The Farmer on it's
long term of usefulness and its pro-
gressiveness.
The first prize, a 5000 diamond,
went to Miss Combel; the second,
a gold watch and chain, Miss Heintz;
third, handsome gold handle UNI
brella, Mrs. Albert Smith.
Judge Burns then awarded five dol
lars in gold each to Frank Norman
and Jos. Elchinger for beng first to
nominate the winner and made the
announcement that $50 would be
turned over to the parish school board.
The Farmer later presented Miss
Mary Biggio with very pretty pin,
a love-knot with a diamond center,
in consideration of her nearness to
winning the third prize, and the fur
Their fact that she was the only out
of-town contestant who remained in
the contest to the finish.
After the presentation of the prizes
dancing was enjoyed by the large
i. crowd present until late hour.
y The Farmer wishes to thank Mr..
Joseph Elchinger and Mr.. Joe Hoff-
man for their kind assistance in pre-
pairing the refreshments, and all
others who assisted in making the
evening a suesess.

The Chemical Ball.

The weather seems to have taken
special delight this season in getting
its back up whenever an entertain
ment was IN sight, consequently it
poured torrents Of rain last Saturday
night during the ball of Chemical No.
l. While such weather must have
been great disappointment to the
members and guests of the company,
it is still 1attering to note that even
such weather was not sufficient to
keep the friends of the company from
the ball. There was quite a good at
tendance, and about 500 clear of all
expenses was turned into the treasury
and everybody had good time.

AS q result of the interest taken by
Hon, Robt. C. Wickliffe in the i'm
movement of the Bogue Falaya river

schuh, Capt. Ed. Burns, Civil Engi-
neer Preston Herndon and A. Rocken-
schuh made trip of inspection down
the river last Tuesday to its junction
with the Tchefuncta. AS result OF
this inspection Col. Beach assures us
that the river will receive prompt at
tention from his department just as
soon as possible. He would not specify
a date at which the work will be
commenced, because there is no abso-
Iute certainty as to the date, and Col.
Reach is very careful and conscientious
90 to his statements, but that the
river will receive attention as early
nossible we may rest assured. 1t may
Re in two or three weeks or even SIX
roonths-il1st as soon as the dredge
hoats can be secured. After the trip
Col, Beach was entertained at the
Southern Hotel where matters were
talked over.
