S~~~Oe &~N.ASDoe0
It b to be greatly regretted that
the very excellent public schools Of
st. Tammany could not make IN ex.
hibit Of their work 1t the Fair this
year. This was owing, partly, TO the
fact that the schools were late in
opening, and partly because the Par
ish Superintendent was away during
September on . much-needed and
well-earned vacation-and could not
personally supervise the exhibit, %
he has done formerly. It IL to be
hoped that the Fair Association will
begin In time next year to assure
fine showing for all the schools and
colleges in the parish. For the edu-
cational achievements Of q people
should always rank above the ma
terial things that make for progress.
The presence Of Supt. Elmer e.
Lyon, OF the St. Tammany Public
Schools, was missed at the Fair
opening. He was unavoidably alb
sent, having been called to Baton
Rouge on important business.

following brief address:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
men:
Today marks the opening Of the
Sixth Annual Fair Of the parish od
St. Tammany. Those Of our citi-
xens who have followed the growth
Of this institution during the past
xix years will need no word from
me to appreciate the progress that
has been made by those who have as
sumed the annual burden Of making
good these festivals to celebrate the
industry and cooperation Of our
people TOR the betterment Of this,
our parish. The Parish Fair at
Covinxton has grown from q mere
handful Of poultry and pet animal
exhibits in 1910 at Bogue Ealaya
Park to the present improvements
that We now occupy. We have pur-
chased these grounds and buildings
and in fact have only begun to earn
estly eeta blish q great annual exhi-
bition Of the growth and products Of
st. Tammany parish.
Wherever 4 community exists
which il active and industrious in
thought and work the Parish Fair
has become. n It were, q necessity.
1t IL the principal means by which
to stimulate q healthy agricultural
and Industrial expansion Of the pro-
ducts and resources OF 4 parish,
which, after all. 10 the only induc-
tion to prosperity In q people.
With the kind permission Of the
citixens Of the parish and my friends
I will now discard the role Of Master
OF Ceremonies and assume the garb
of . candidate. / do this only to
deny : certain rumor that has been
circulated throughout the parish and
that / think detrimental to
