the opportunity that is demanded by
the up-to-date educational system In
vogue In the more prosperous Sec
tions. It gives the young farmer a
chance to make good and encourage:
him to stay on the farm.
OF course it will take money and
work to accomplish this object and
means are being considered for car
rying 1t through. It is mainly a
question Of cooperation and honest
endeavor. In order to expedite the
work and create special interest,
when the first five acres is cleared
there will be q blowing contest with
q silver cup as the prize. This cup
will after wards be handed over to
the Parish Fair Association, where
1t will again be competed for, the
team winning 1t three times to hold
It.
1t Is contemplated to buy enough
adjoining land to finally nave farm
OF forty acres. These plans are SUD-
iect to discussion and any improve
ment that may be suggested will be
gladly received. 1t Is planned to
give q basket picnic to the patrons
of the school and to raise money by
subscription and other wise.

Mr.. Harry Wilson, who Is q candi-
date for the Office Of Commissioner
Of Agriculture and immigration, Is
we'll known in St. Tammany parish
because of the interest he has taken
in advancing its several under
takings for the development Of

sociations. He has always been
Johnny on the spot whenever he
could help u.s.. The consequence ID
that he will get big vote in this
parish. But Mr.. Wilson is chiefly
entitled to the Office because Of his
great knowledge Of the needs of the
State in agricultural and immigra-
tion matters. He knows conditions
by reason of PERSONAL contact with
the people, and mis- study or the inn
migration question and the means of
Agricultural advancement, together
with tae routine and practical ex-
perience he has had in the Office,
specially fit him for 1t.
s Mr.. ]. E. Glisson announces tina
he 10 making splendid headway in his
candidacy for Register of the Land
Once. He claims quite strong sup
port in New Orleans and the situa-
tion is flattering in otler parts of
the State. As local man, he should
poll strong vote in st. Tammany
parish, especially as this section has
never been given a state office.

Tammany:
As the date of the primary cleo
tion draws near, and the bitter par
k.tisan feeling exhibited by some
Ieaches its bitter climax, l feel It
Incumbent upon myself to reiterate
my position as candidate for re-
election to the important Office OF
sheriff of our PARISH.
/ cannot help but feel honored by
/ the answering confidence in my
honesty and integrity, manifested on
more than one occasion by the people
Of st. Tammany parish. In the per-
formance of my duty have given
many Of the best years Of my life.
and in return for this have had the
pleasure Of enjoying the honor ana
esteem OF every man. woman and
child In St. Tammany parish. CAM
not convey in this manner my deep.
seated feeling Of gcat.llls f3r tnis,
bu can only assure ycu al! mat my
future life and conduct will continue
to reflect my official and private con-
! duct Of the past.
Myself and my legion Of friends il
st. Tammany parish have waited IN
vain for my opponent to advance an
argument worthy OF notice. In an
endeavor to find some salient excuse
In appealing for votes, 1t appears that
the opposition has had to content
itself with one form Of specious ar
gument, that Is, the length OF timt
have enjoyed the confidence ane
support Of tae people Of our parish

Well to ignore any attempt made T.
detract from my candidacy by com
menting upon the duration OF m.
term In office. D.,t in view OF the
fact that my rival has attempted t.
capitalize this asset on his own be-
half, am glad RI the opportunit'
presented to defend myself and many
friends, under the most favorable
auspices.
It has been my privilege to serve
the people Of st. Tammany parish
Tor fifteen years, and l look forward
with pleasure to the opportunity OF
serving them another term as sheriff
and tax collector Of our parish. In
looking back over the expanse OF
years have presided over the desti-
nies Of my Office, i would not be o.
human mold If I did not rejoice lr
. feeling Of fiattery when say that
my official and private conduct has
been as near flawless as could pos
sfbly be under all sorts OF condi
tions. ! lay no claim to mental or
moral superiority over any man, yet
! submit without fear to the closes,
1rutiny on the part Of friend or
enemy.
Honesty, integrity and answering
loyalty to the trust imposed. must
be the fundamental principles OF
every right-thinking public oficial.
Those who fail to live up to the die
tates and. rights Of their constituents
can expect no favors at the hands
Of honest people. Deeds, and not
mere words, are what count. The
best criterion Of any mans dtness
