$4,000. 90 FOR SWEET POTATO
PACK.

Covington, La. Sept. 81, 1916.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
It is something of sensation 10
learn that during this week 100000
was added to the treasury Of the s..
Tammany Canning Company for
handling the sweet potato pack in
October. The feat shows that some
of our people are struggling hard for
the advancement Of the parish, and
that large sums of money can Da
raised for worthy enterprises in spite
of the impression that has gone
abroad that our people are Indifferent
to civic improvement and to the Wes-
fare of each other.
Teamwork, co-opeartion, q help
ing hands what we must have.
Net pulling apart, not petty jealousy
OF the other fellows success, not the
keep-aloof spirit things are too com
mon here. Let US work together q
little more.
