Chauvin's grounder to the pitcher

In the eighth inning two more
runs were added when Landry was
given life on a pop fly dropped by the
catcher, was forced at second on
Gueno's grounder past the pitcher
which Cromwell intercepted and
threw to Zahn, Gueno taking second

muffed, and after Lansing had retired
from first to second route, Daigle Sc

changed for the thief. It also chang

out $3.50 and some papers that were
also in the pocketbook. The thief
gained entrance in his usual way
through the window. The only oc-
cupant Of the house who seemed
to be aware that the house held a
stranger was Mics Mabel Miller. She
was probably awakened by the sound
when he tested her door. Any how,
she heard him - he passed up the

but she thought It was Mr.. Law

Lawrence found that his trousers
were missing. In the pockets were

pers. He found his trousers in the
yard next morning. He is still minus

St. Taullnany Callnery.
PLAN TO IMPROVE CANNERY
AND OPERATE A FARM.

The st. Tammany Canning Com
pany. at meeting held during the
present week, voted to equip the fac.
tory with a modern can-closing ma.
chine, to use only sanitary cans, that
is to say, cans sealed without solder
and to lease or purchase and oper-
ate farm where part of the supply
for the cannery can be grown under
its own management.
"A modern can-closing machine is
marvel of ingenuity, sealing thous-
auds of cans an hour. It is costly,
but we understand that the cannery
is offered the rental of a machine for
$50 year, with the privilege of pur-
chasing, and of applying the rent to-
wards the purchase thereof.
To assure a positive supply of veg
etables the company proposes to plant
its own field. This plan, it is declar-
ed, will not lessen the market now
open to growers. On the contrary, it
is thought that the company's farm
will demonstrate that cannery crops
are more profitable than corn.
To raise money for this seasons 9
crop, and to make the contemplated
improvements, the company appeals
for help to every person having the
interests of the parish at heart.
Some are asked to interest their farm
er friends to the extent of planting
liberal acreages of tomatoes, beans,
okra and potatoes. Others are urged
to send in the unpaid balance ON their
stock. Others are asked to buy the
new stock, limited amount of which
is now offered to the public, accord
ing to the announcement ON another
page Of this paper.
The company has gone through
the trying periods of organization
and inexperience, and has sold its
summer and fall packs at good
prices. Its business is being steadily
built up, and as the prospects for the
season pack are good, the manage
ment frankly believes that the stock
will prove q splendid investment.
Committees, of which Mr.. A. C.
Mccormack and DIR. w. L. Stevenson
are chairmen, will collect the unpaid
balance on the stock subscriptions
and dispose Of the new stock.
Messrs. Richard & Riggs and Mr..
O'Neil have rendered farms suitable
for the company's crops, but NO de-
cision has been reached pending the
receipt Of other offers. The annual
meeting, and the election Of directors

We are pleased to inform you that

Board has met with the approval o1
the better element Of Covington.
You will agree that such public
spirit is highly commendable and to
every member of the board will serve
as q stimulus in continuing an az

for improving hygienic conditions.
Our inspectors have been cordially re-
ceived by all proprietors and land

may exist. thereby making the work
easier and at the same time more
Satisfactory.
In accepting our commissions from
the Mayor. we felt that even as pub

connected with the ohice, each In
dividual member would soon become
persona non grata" with the popu-
lace. This fear has been dispelled
by the ..good WILL manifested, and
q realization of the fact that we can
be of some service to our fellow-citi-
zens in preventing disease by destroy
ing its breeding places. The ply

ST. PAUL.s COLLEGE DEFEATS
BOYS HIGH SCHOOL
g TO 2.

The st. Paul boys got sweet re
venge from the tribe of ball tossei
representing the Boys High SchoC
OF New Orleans in . very pretty con
test at the college stadium Wednes
ldsy. for they made them; go way bach
and sit down to the tune Of 6 to 3
quite different result from the
score Of last year when the High
School came over and defeated the
college by q score sof 5 to o. The
more one sees of these games, the
hrmer becomes their conviction that
| Foster Commagere has corralled q
bunch Of colts that will do honor to
the college, be credit to the game
and add prestige to our town, for
without = doubt, Foster has a real
live ball club. the best proof Of which
lies in the fact that they were de-
feated In only two games this sea-
son out of a total of eight games play
ed, and one of these defeats were
handed them by the Pelicans of the
Southern League.
The battery work of Delcambre
and Didfer continues to be the one
dominant feature of victory, but
these two boys were not alone in
sharing the honors of the day, as
every player on the team got into
the game. Guepo, in center. being
the only player not to. receive a
chance in the fielding art. while the
improvement shown n the batting
line calls for special mention, Cas-
first place with two hits out of three
trips to the plate for q percentage of
667, with Shorty" DaiEle next in
line. as his two bingles out, of four
times up figure 500. Chauvin, Ian
sing and Landry each connected
safely for one, which runs the total
up to nine, while the Boys High Sc
cured only five.
Stream started the game for the
visitors but lasted only two innings
during which time the college secur-
ed four hits for total Of runs,
when Robinson was substituted, and
by the way, he got gay with his
weight this twirler tips the beam at
215.) Our college boys were like in
fants. and for Ave innings it was bar
rem Of results, and very few hits.
Only In the last inning did the college
boys add two runs to their score, but
these were not needed as the best
the High School boys could muster
was two tallies, one in the third and
one in the ninth.
How the Runs Were Made.
Micholle started the second inning
by waiting on four high ones, went to
third on Cassogne's screamer to cen
ter, Cassagne taking second on the
throw to third, and both runners
crossed the pan when Landry laced
out . beauty to left and he took sec-s
ond on the throw to home. Gueno:
was pinked on the arm and trotted
to first, and the bases were full up"
when Delcambre was given free
transportation to the initial sack.
With Lansing at the bat and the bas-
es full and none out, q play foreign
to many Of the fans was recorded. as
the catcher allowed the third strike
to get by him, Landry scoring and
other runners advancing base, but
Lansing was called out On strikes.
Ooigle then laced . beauty past the
piteAof md 0nono scored the fourth

president according to advtces from
the capital today.
This is said to have been tire pro-

Huerta is said to realize that he has
only slim chance Of winning but he is
understood to be determined not to
abandon power without adequate pro-

his own future and for that of the
men surrounding him.
The constitutionalists have insisted
that no act of General Huerta's adj
mfnfstration shall ever be regarded as
legal and in this case, General Huerta
fOresees enormous financial losses for
those who joined in the fotation of
his loans as well as personal risk for
the members of his cabinet, for the
