greatest sprinters ever developed IT
the South, demonstrated his ability
to q 3O0O-gathering in Bogalusa or
the 4th Of July, by winning the so
100 and go yard dashes In easy
fashion.
iBreeland, Of Bogalusa, finished
second in these races, but many yards
behind the junior champion Of 1915
But Fassman's victory was expected
so the crowd was not disappointed.
Looking over Fassman's career as
an athlete, 1t shows that this youth
started in Covington, while ATTENDING

CovinEton at all the meets durine

Covington and St. Tammany parish
generally suffered little from the late
storm in comparison to other south
ern sections. especially Alabama
Even Ashville, in the mountains OF
North Carolina, suffered from over
flow OF the Broad River. Covington
showed it's excellent drainage by the
fact that the water drained off with
In q few hours after the water ceased
rising, the fall being as rapid as the
rise.
The police jury Of the parish met
a few days .fter the storm, as soon
as it could be called together, to de-
wise ways and means Of relieving the
situation, getting bridges back and
roads in condition. The fact that
the parish has just spent considerable
money in putting everything In first
class condition, leaves little avail

For and Voted Against
the Proposition.
special to The Farmer:

Special to The Farmer:
Slidell, La, July 12.-The school
tax carried by a large majority Of d
very smaN vote at the polls. The
weather was not at all favorable to
getting out the full vote FOR 1t rain
ed throughout the whole moon hour
thus cutting OF the opportunity OF
many who expected to vote at that
time.
The legal hour Of closing the polls
was not noted by many and several
voters were disappointed at not be-
ing able to cast their ballots between
five and six o'clock.
The schools Of the Ninth Ward are
now sure of the full nine months
session for the next two years and
hopes are felt that finances may be
improved to better conditions during
the life Of the tax.
Alterations are being made al the
high school building in Slidell with
q view toward accommodating q
greatly increased high school de-
partment as we'll as general in
crease in the grades. At present it
seems that the school will open with
very nearly five hundred pupils.
The increased funds will probably
be taxed to their limit TO care for
the large increase in enrolment tx
pected.

THESMuETHAT
IS ALWAYS
THERE
The Laurel Wreath Is Voted
to D. NJ. Montgomery for
Cheerful Hard Luck.

Mr.. D. NJ. Montgomery Is one ot
the cheerful members Of the Coving-
ton social system. He has q smile
that even the flood and storm could
not remove. The loss Of four or flvs
hundred Of his flock Of one thousand
pure-bred chickens only hecked it fol
. moment with an expression of dis
appointment. He II true blue when
It comes to standing up under the
burden Of loss and disappointment
but his friends have been afraid Il
look at him since Wednesday morn
ing. Afraid they would ind the smile
gone. 1t took case-hardened re-
porter of The st. Tammany Farmer
to look him sQuarely in the face and
record the fact that the smile was
still there.
Mr.. Montgomery has kept pretty
we'll in touch with modern means o.
warfare. II there was anything new
in that lime he thought he would fn.'
it in the dispatches OF German
achievement. Hence he was in NJ
apprehension Of being injured when
he picked up . hammer and hatchet
and started to open q box OF mer
chandise. He inserted the hatche
beneath the cover and swung at
with the hammer. There was 9
bright spark and q stinging sensa-
ton ON the biceps Of the left ARM
A small piece Of steel about one-six-
teenth Of IN inch in diameter flew
from the hatchet, passed through his
shirt sleeve and buried itself about
half an inche deep in the flesh, clt-
ting vein from which the blood
flower freely. DR.. Gautreaux probed
for the piece Of metal, but was un-
able to ind it. This is not half as
important, however, as the fact that
Mr.. Montgomery Is still cheerful and
smiling and fulkof confidence in the
goodness Of all things. We say,
hurrah! Give us some more of the
MONTGOMERY temperament.

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
arrived in this great busy, bustl-

July evening. That night rode
around in an auto with my oyercoat
and witnessed the grandest display
OF fireworks Of my life.
On the evening of the 4th we saw
a military parade in Cincinnati, the
former home of patriotic Mrs. N.
Mcdaniel and sisters, Of Slidell. 1t
also reminded me that the freedom
Of our great country is owing largely
to the hyphen influence Irish
American and also French-American.
All day, along the route, We saw
evidences Of the glorious 4th cele-
bration-parades, flags, picndcs and
happy people.
We are now more than thousand
miles from SlideA> and TO get here
travelled in the state Of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
