ST. TAllMANY PARISH CLAYS MAKE
fine CHANCE FOR STARTING POTTERY

| The following remarks % to the
opportunity Of introducing the manu-
facture Of pottery in Covington is
deserving Of consideration, because
the industry is quite an important

demonstrated toll Of excellent quail

clays in the Art Department Of the
Sophie Newcomb Memorial College,
New Orleans, can be seen at Mr..
Neilsen's Office in the Frederick
Building on Boston street. There
will be sale of this pottery the
early part Of next month:
Should conditions warrant. and
local interest enough is shown, it l.;
possible that pottery modelled
somewhat after the Arequipa Pot
terry, California, may be established
in st. Tammany. parish. This, how
ever, will largely depend upon the
local interest shown.

THE STRAWBERRY CROP OF ST. TANMANY
PARISH PROMISES TO DO FINELY, NOTWITH-
STANDING DROUTH AT TIME OF PLANTING

,yh. the move was first made for
tho planting OF Strawberries it was
hardly hoped to do more than make
a start, so that the business could
be practically demonstrated as feas-
ible for St. Tammany parish. 1t was
therefore somewhat disheartening to
have drouth arrive just at the time
of putting out plants. Then some
OF the plants arrived in Il dried out
condition. Altogether matters look
ed somewhat discouraging for a

as either Hammond or Ponchatoula,
but strawberries are considered to
be about two weeks late in all sec
tions, by reason of the unfavorabie
weather and heavy rains. There
will be plenty Of plants right at home
for the next seasons planting and it
is expected that large crop will he
put in. Next Monday Mr.. McConni-
co, travelling freight agent of the
Illinois Central, will meet Mr.. War
ner and Mr.. Ellis in Mr.. Ellis Office,
and the matter of transportation will
be discussed and arranged.

Celebration Of Washington's birth


Celebration Of Washington's birth
day:
Our principal told many interest
ing stories about George Washing
ton.
The opening address was given by
seventh grade student, Miss Lydia
! Talley.
The morning program consisted Of
recitations and songs about Wash
ington.
Mr.. C. F. Trudeau, Rural School
Supervisor, gave Y an interesting
talk on the advantages the four
room country school has over the
one-room country school. We ap-
preciated his talk very much.
Miss Alice keeler, the lady who
has charge of the girls canning club
work in the State gave us an inter-
esting little talk, which we aDpreciat-
ed very much.
This closed our morning program.
An excellent dinner was prepared
by the good ladies of the community
under the shady oaks on the grounds,
which was enjoyed by everybody.
At the same time refreshments were
being sold for the benefit of the
girls basketball club.
The leader of the evening program
was Miss Cora Williams.
The first thing was an interesting,
play by primary pupils.
Mr.. G. C. Lewis, farm demonstrat-
or, gave us talk on the boys corn
club, which was very interesting.
Next, we had the pleasure of lis
tening to man with broad should
ers, our good superintendent, Elmer
e. Lyon. He explained to the peo-
pie of this community how much
cheaper it would be to vote special
school tax of five mills and educate
the children at home than it would
be to send them away from here.
If the good people Of the fifth ward
will vote to issue bonds we can have
our new four-room building by next
fall. 1t will cost the small sum Of
$3.50 to $500 more per year for
each man of this community to send
their children to school at home.
When this small sum is compared
with the sum that 1t tax to send
children to school away from home,
It will evidently cause many people
to vote for the special school tax Of
Ave mills and the bond issue.
The word "bond'' frightens so
many. After Mr.. Lyon had explain
ed the bond issue number Of men
said that they would vote for it who
did not intend to vote for it before
they heard his speech We trus.
that the good people Of Sun and
2ush, who have their new building
already will remember US on April
2, 1915.
When Mr.. Lyon had finished his
talk he asked the pupils to show

The only question discussed was the
means Of doing this and the best

It was suggested that It was feasible

JERSEY HEIFER
BREAKS RE ORD
OWN AUNT OF SPLENDID YOUNG
BULL OWNED BY MAuRY
FOUNTAINS.

There will be much local interest
in the announcement In the Jersey
Bulletin Of this week that worlds
record for three year old Jersey cows
has been established. The cow Il

Hood Farm in Massachusetts,. She
made the magnificent record of 1890
pounds of milk, $40 pounds of butter
fat, 1,O7O pounds of estimated butter
in one year.
This announcement is of all the
more interest, as the heifer is an own
aunt of Sophi's T. Landseer, the
splendid young bull, which was
bought last year by a number Of the
prominent Maury county Jersey fan
ciers from the Hood Farm, and is now
at the farm of Henry Frank Alexan-
