lNCUBATOHS AND RROODERs
GIVE GOOD RESULTS.

Within the past few years artificial
incubation and brooding have under
gone a wonderful development. BY
careful attention to details it is now
possible, with very little labor, to
hatch and rear chickens by artificial
methods just as well or better than by
the natural method.
The advantages claimed for the us
OF incubators and brooders are as fol
lows:
I. Eggs can be set at any time. 1t
is not necessary to wait for a hen u
become broody.
2. The eggs are der absolute
control: there is no he to break the
eggs, soil the eggs or leave the nest
2. There is a constant supply OF
heat. Eggs and chicks are not sub
iected to the whims Of the hen.
4. There are no lice or mites.
The poultry raiser who is to use in
crbators and breeders should start
with new machines, Of some standard
make, He should avoid all doubtful
secondhand machines and look witt
caution upon the extremely cheap ma
chimes which are sometimes offered
Different types of machines require
different methods Of operation. The
directions for use that accompany
each machine should be carefully TO:

The political pot is again boiling.
This tine it is a municipal election.
D. }. Sanders place. SO long vacant
on the Covington Council, is to be
filled and an election proclamation
has been issued, the election to take
place September 26.
This election has been talked about
for some time, and everybody has
been guessing who the candidate
would be; but each reouted candidate
has denied that he he had any such
intention, until it began ito look as
though nobody wanted the office.
Things ran along in this shape until
dina.ly some of Covington's citizens
approached H. A. Mackie and asked
him to become candidate. 1t was
urged that the town was in need OF
the assistance of just such men. He
had shown, both in his business and
in his efforts for town boosting, that
he had the right kind of mettle; that
he was a determined worker, with
initiative. and energy to- bring back
what he went after. As nobody
seemed willing to accept the respon-
sibilty. would he not himself shoul-
der 1t and lend his energies for the
welfare of the town?
Mr.. Mackie said he would not re-
fuse, il the people wanted him. With

Is There A Young
Married Couple in
Covington Keep
ing 1t Secret :?


A judge Of one Of the New Orleans
courts, being thrown off his guard by
unexpectedly meeting a friend who
resided in Covington came very near
TO letting out a secret that he had
promised to keep. He caught HIM
self, however, in time not to divulge
names.
Meeting you, my friend" he said,
"brings to mind that six or seven
months ago was eaEed upon to mar
ry a Covington girl and her chosen
mate in the ante room OF my court.
The girl was accompanied by her
mother and said she was from Cow
ington, and when ! asked her II she
knew you she answered immediately
that she did. She then seemed to
be worried for fear I might diyulge
her wedding to you. re-assured
her, and she left with her party and
her husband, happy"
The recent Addison-Meyer mar
riage brings to mind that 1t IS an easy
matter for young folks to Keep their
weddings secret, when they wish
to. Now, can anybody guess the
couple?

Claims That Mackie Looking for His Job While Mackie
Says He D MT Want It and Positively Could Not
Spare Time From His Business to Devote to It.

his usual decision and promptness he
proceeded to find out II sufficient
number of people really wanted him
in the position. His inquiries brought
such a hearty approval that he an
nounced publicly that he would be a
candidate.
S. D. Anderson had been approach
ed previous to this and it was re-
ported that he had refused to run.
It looked as il Mackie would be un-
opposed; but somebody told Mayor
Lacroix that Mackie had the mayor
atty bee buzzing in his hat, and not
withstanding Mackie denied this and
stated that he could not possibly
spare the time from his business tc
fill the position, the mayor is sup
porting the opposing party that has
persuaded Mr.. Anderson to run.
Mackie says he is sorry to have OPP
position, as his only desire is to boost
and help the town, but since he has
decided to run, his friends may de-
pend upon him to make the fight
with all the strength that is in him;
that he is not a politician and does
not care for the office in that way.
His election does not mean any profit
to him beyond what may come to him
through progress of the town. He
has no irons in the fire. But he does
intend to work for the interests OF
the town in which his own interests
lie.

THE SORROWS OF WAR.

The horrors, the sacrifices and the
romances of war, although it is 30
ing on across the big pond, are
brought home to US frequently with
more than the interest Of telegraphic
news, and sometimes wrapped in the
sympathy Of blood relationship OR
close and friendly intercourse.
An incident which touches pretty
G ose to home is the reported death
of a brother Of Miss Paula Lorentz.
an Austrian lady who has recently
become a resident Of Coyington. She
has been saddened by the news Of the
death Of her brother in ons Of the
recent engagements on the eastern
line of battle, and the deata Of her
mother In Austria, who dropped dead
in her carriage upon learning Of the
death Of her boy.

NO DESIRE TO Do ANY
BODY AN INJUSTICE
North Bogalusa Box Only
One In Which Anything
Wrong Was Charged.

In statement given out in Amite
City, Tuesday, Amos L. Ponder de
MED he charged that there was fraud
practiced in the parish of st. Tam
MANY in the recent primary election
He says there was no fraud anywhere
in the parish that he could find, ano
there was no means of investigating
the only box in the parish OF which
he had suspicious, the North Boga-
lua box, because the vote of that box
was not sufficient to change the re-
suit, and he would be thrown out OF
court on the exception Of no cause
of action. Mr.. Ponder's statement
follows:
my attention having been called
to an editorial in Mondays Times
Picayune, desire to call the atten-
ton of the people that l have never
made any charge of crookedness
against the parish of st. Tammany,
but simply said there were irregulari-
ties, and it came about this way:
ION the night of the election,
while receiving returns, | had not
heard anything from st. Tammany,
but friend of mine in Baton Rouge
phoned me that the Sanders head
quarters showed 225 majority for
Sanders, and I called up Mr.. Harvey
E. Ellis, at Coyington, who gave me
the vote box by box, showing 29a
majority for Sanders. When went
to Baton Rouge the next morning Mr..
Bennett, Of East Feliciana, came
down and told me that they had a
telephone message from the clerk OF
court showing Sanders majority to
be 395. Therefore, / said there
were some Irregularities about St.
Tammany.
TT is not my desire to do anybody
in the district an injustice, and |
want to say, in justice to the good
people of st. Tammany, that | in
vestigated these irregularities and
found that the figures given me by
Mr.. EEis were correct and that there
was no fraud anywhere in the parish
Of st. Tammany that | could find.
Therefore, I do not desire to be quot
ed as charging them with something
that they are not guilty of.

lusa box, In Washington parish, and
there is no way under the law by
which I could have it opened and
verified unless | were to file a con-
test. Since that box alone is not
II elm to change the result, were
| to ask for it to be opened, an ez-
aeption Of no cause of action would
knock me out.
81 do say that our primary esec-
ton law ought to be amended so as
20 permit boxes to be opened and re-
counted where there is even suspicion
of wrong, without contest, SO as "a

II will have another statement to
