HISTORY AND AIMS OF THE WO.
MANS SECTION OF THE
NAVY LEAGUE.

On July 4, 1915, patriotic women
in Washington formed the Womna's
Section of the Navy League, an or
ganization devoted to the duty OF
insuring the United States against
the possibility of being invaded. The
founders of the Women's Section felt
that in these days of national stress
and danger the women of the country
ought to rally to the cause OF patriot
ism as did the heroic women OF the
historic period.
Pledges of membership were print
ed and sent to representative women
all over the county as a .est OF cav
timent. They were speedily signed
and returned and requests for more
made it necessary to print many
times the original number. From
its inception the Woman's Section
idea has spread like wild-fire among
the women of this country. In the
hrst month of it's existence over eight
thousand women igned and return
ed pledges, and at the end of the sec
ond month more than twenty-five
thousands were enrolled on its list
Of members. ...
The call of Patriotism" "Ameri-
canism and national defense" has
rallied to the standard of the Section
women from every walk in life. and
representatives of the most widely
separated interests and positions.
Its roster of members is an Ameri-
can Blue Book of worthwhile wo-
men from every section of the coun-
try. The Section recognizes no di-
vidinE issues among American wo-
men, but gladly welcomes women of
every organization and utilization to
it, ranks. Leaders in the suffrage
movement, In the movement opposed
to woman suffrage, members of the
United Daughters Of the Confeder-
acy and of the various women or
CARNATIONS connected with the G. A
r. find q common ground in the
cause Of national defense. There
are no dues or fees OF any kind.

dition, State committees, each i've

The Womane Section has already
branches in every State In the Unit
ed States and II forming local Sec
tons In every town and village.
twenty-five or more members from
any town may form . local section
by signing membership pledges and
forwarding them with IN application

quarters in Washington. The local
section may take the name Of its
town or of Q man or woman, patri-
otto event or historic place. The Of
fcials of such local sections shall
consist Of president. vice president,
secretary and treasurer. Each Sec
ton should appoint, Ct least, q COM
mittee on membership, q press COM
mittee and q committee on legisla-
ton.
The press committee should re-
quest local. newspapers to print

mesa for next session. He compli
menter the league on its progressive
work and urged q broader communi
ty spirit throughout the parish
Only by the uniting of the forces o.
educational uplift throughout the
state could the stigma of illiteracy
and Indifference to the better things
of life be ov rcome.
Mrs. Lyons presented a paper on
"Eugenics, which was greatly ap-
preciated.
Mrs. Burns then addressed the
meeting on e subject of Domestic
Science in Rural Schools She
pointed out the fact that the city
bred girl with every facility for per-
fecting and broadening her mental
life. was inclined to patronize the
country girl whose diversified. &C
tivities on farm and in dairy might,
properly directed, be actually sup
porting her.
She urged that the country girl be
fitted for her life work on the farm
just as the city child is made ready
for her future in the business, social
or Industrial world.
She advocated a teacher Of do
nestle science for each rural school;
also that the ability to teach do
nestle science be made one of the re-
Quirements Of teachers in all coun-
try schools.
Mrs. Burns called attention to the
canning agent recently appointed in
the parish. This is real step to-
ward the conservation of farm pro-
ducts In st. Tammany parish, but
more workers are needed, the burden
will be far too great for the one
agent, and pioneers in this field arr
urged to help in the great work of
developing this section along self
supporting lines. Some one has sug-
gested for this department of parish
school work the slogan, Lets sup
from our own tin cans
Mrs. Burns closed her remarks
with a most cordial invitation of the
league to visit their fellow workers
In Covington.
Most delicious refreshments were
served by students of the high school
department.
Mrs. Ney thanked the visitors for
their interesting and valuable sug-
gestions, after which the meeting
was adjourned.

REASONS WHY WE SHOULD VOTE
FOR BREWSTER.

CovingtOn, La, Jan. 20, 1916.
Editor st. aTammany Farmer:
The only argument that A. j
Planche's henchmen are using
against Sheriff Brewster. is that
Brewster has been sheriff for fifteen
years and another man would have
1t and needs it. They all admit
even Brewster's worst enemies-that
his record IL clean and he has meas
ured up to the imam Of the hour
as sheriff OF st. Tammany. Their
arguments are SO weak they would
make old Diogines turn over in his
wooden overcoat and laugh" Let
us analyze their reasoning. First
they claim he has had the place fol
fifteen years and another should have
a chance. This argument, instead
of being againstB rewster. is the
strongest in his favor. 1t means he
has given the best part Of his lit
to the Office, both criminal as we'll a.
criminal sheriff. Just think Of what
wonderful advantage all these year,
OF experience, competency, thorough
ness and educational qualifications
gained by years Of work and ex-
perience. Brewster, when he be
came sheriff, was green material ant
unframed. Today he Is seasoned,
trained, and the equal Of any in the
State, If not the superior. That be-
ing the case, just think how much
more proficient he must be. to whaj
he was when he took charge, and
this is the reason his opponents
claim he should be defeated. l.

that the woman Of quiet taste has the
best Of opportunities for expressing
It without failing back upon black.
But every wardrobe should include

To My Friends and Voters Of St
Tamnany Parish:
On the 25th of January (next
Tuesday, you will vote for your Rep
resentative in the state legislature.
Although but few consider the same
to be, 1t is one Of the most important
offices in the gift Of the people. 1t
70 one of the most important to be
/ filled at said election. The office is
. one that a member becomes more
useful to his constituency with
length Of service. 1t is an Office that
II the incumbent has proven faith
ful to his trust and duty the people
3 should guard their interest by re-
!. tanning him in Office, for usefulness
can only be gained by experience.
If q Representative has faithfully
and conscientiously striven to do his
duty the voters OF the parish should
show their appreciation by retaining
him in Office.

The four years as your Representa-
tive have given me fund Of legis-
lative knowledge and experience. /

every prominent man in the state,

and warm friends. l have attained
Q broad knowledge Of the state and

Believing as l do that the people
are entitled to know my position on
q few OF the questions that will con-
front the next legislature l will state
the following:
believe that the system of assess
ment and taxation OF property should
be revised in order that those wno !
are able, and who are not doing SO |
will bear their just proportion OF
the states expenses.
believe that the House Of Repre-
sentatives and the State Senate as

COOKING LIMA BEANS.
Food Specialists Suggest Methods OF
Preparing the Dried and
Canned Product.

Food experts have long been in
sisting upon the importance of dried
beans. peas, cowpeas, and similar
legumes, and in one for or another
such foods are an accepted part Of
the diet in most families. In order
that she may make the diet varied,
1t IL to the housekeeper's advantage
to know q number Of good ways of
serving such foods, and SO the home
economics experts of the department
have made some suggestions based
upon their studies OF, foods and their
uses in the home.
Fresh green Lima beans when at
their best have . delicate, spicy, or
pungent favor, which to some pal
ates, at least, suggests curry, a fair

which is perhaps most familiar in

''curried veal" This suggested the
possible cause of curry as season
ing for Lima beans, and the tests
which have been made gave very sat-

When preparing dried Lima beans,
soak them for an hour or two (or
even longer, according to dryness,
and cook until tender. Then ado
