D0lNCS OF PARISH FAIR -
NOTES AND PERSONALS

Work Of the Women's Progressive
Union.
The Women's Progressive Union,
the very backbone Of progress in
Covington. will operate the restau-
rant in the Fair Grounds. Popular
prices will prevail. And . bevy OF
attractive society girls will serve %
waitresses That fact alone should
induce 10 all to have our dinners and
suppers 1T the Fair.
One Of the most interesting fea-
lures of today's program will be the
athletic events, under the superin-
i tendence of frof. A. ]. Park, pri1-
cipal Of the Covington High School.
THESE will begin At 2 o'clock. Med
ais will be awarded the winners.
OF special interest will be the ten
mis- games, doubles and singles.
The ba,by Show Committee especi-
ally urges all out-of-town mothers
to enter their babies in the contest
which will begin at 2 o'clock Friday
afternoon. The pri es for both boys
and girls are now on display In tine
snow window 1T Lacroix's store on
Main street. They are baby boot
tees, for babies from six to nine
months old; infants silver spoons
for babies from nine to twelve
months old; q half dozen silver
spoons for babies from one to three
years old; and silver napkin rings
for the your year olds. Each child
entered in the contest will receive
q prize Of free entry to the grounds.
The Progressive Union has secured
the services Of . well-known Duke.
as restaurant cook. Duke" IL real
ly her name; and . most unlikely
name for q cook. She has been the
assistant Of a New Orleans caterer,
and the quality Of. her work Is an
other inducement to restaurant pat
ronage.
Look for the Suffrage Booth today
at the Fair. 1t will be presided over
10y Mrs. ]. Clifton Burns, president
Of the Parish Equal Rights Society.
and Miss Anna M0rrell, cOrresp0na-
ing secretary Of the society. This Is
the tlrst appearance on any stage Of
this society. And the fact that they
are allowed q little elbow room by
the Fair Association may be = straw
that shows which way the wind IL
blowing in St. Tammany.
A dancing contest for the child
rem has had to be abandoned be-
cause the stage ct the Fair Pavilion
could not be made ready In time.
However, q children's dancing patty
will be gwen tomorrow evening from
1880 to $3.50. and prizes will be
awarded for the best dancers.
All Of the committees composed OF
women are made up from the MEM
De4s OF the Momens Progressive
Union, Of which Alss Kate EAstAan
is president. So they. too, will have
none but Union labor Strike
breakers and scaos need not apply.

Or go in your own car. Let it be

Incidentally. those who insist upon
their rights to easy riding are re-

the Bogue Falaya river. There they
