Of the auditorium was open. On en-
rtering to investigate, he found .
gruesome sight. Sitting a. q lone
sentinel in one Of the chairs Of the
big room was q dog with It's throat
gaping in ghastly red, the dripping
blood having dried on the wound,
which extended from ear to ear
The head was held on the body
simply by the spine. r. Investigation
showed that the door latch had been
slipped back with = knife. the
shrinking OF the wood having left
space for this.
The dog was owned by Frank
Patecek and had broken the rope
with which It was tied or had been
cut loose and escaped into the street.
Where he dog was caught Is not
known, but Mr.. Patecek says it wat
not in the habit Of going tar from

who committed the oct first knock
ed the dog in the head with = brick,
the dust showing on the head. and
then cut its throat.

DRY POTATOES
FROM KlLNS TO
BE GIVEN At
TENTION

The letter published below, re-
ceived by Mr.. Sullivan, is important
to the people of st. Tammany and
Washington parishes, because it
shows that preparation is being
made for the disposal of potatoes
cured in the dry kiln, and that they
will be a profitable crop, because
our soil is adapted to their growth
and the crop is a sure one. 1t also
shows that the most profitable way
OF raising potatoes is in large quane
titles, SO that each farmer may ship
his own car load when he pleases,
without waiting for contributors to
make up car load lots. Also, that
farmers who can not do this, still
have the only remedy, the kiln where
they may prepare their potatoes to
keep until the car load can be made
up. The dry kiln, If taken adyan-
tage of, will save many dollar to
the farmers:
New Orleans, Oct. /, 1917.
Hon. W. H. Sullivan, Bogalusa, La.
Dear Mr.. Sullivan:-Your appre-
ciated letter and photo of the sweet
potato drier has had the very careful
attention of Mr.. Hoover and has been
published broadcast all oyer the
country.
am in receipt of a letter from
Mr.. Lou d. Sweet, who has absolute
charge of the potato interests in the
United States, asking that as soon
as you have potatoes cured, you
quote him prices in carload and
less than car load lots, and would
further appreciate your forwa riding
him samples to Washington after the
potatoes have been dried.
This Office thanks you most cordi-
ally for your valued assistance in
this work, and with kind regards
from the writer, We are
Very truly yours.

Editor st. Tammany Farmer, Gov

Dear Sir:-In letter written by
Mr.. G. C. Lewis, published in your
last issue, note he states that he
failed ITO get local parties to put up
half of the cost of the potato dry
Kiln (which is to cost about $1,000
to match Mr.. Sullivan's offer, and
that the business men OF Covington
were slow to take advantage of an
offer of which $500 or $500 was be
Ing donated.
Without going into full details, ]
want to state that the Cov1ngton
Grocery & Grain Company offered to
put up $780,. which was half of said
cost of the building, but they did not
want to assume the erection OF said
building as we felt that $3.50 was as
much as we could afford to donate.
| further want ito state that the
Covington Grocery & Grain Company
fully intended building dry kiln
last year, but through no fault OF
theirs it was not Ibu1t.
About ten days before Mr.. Sulli-
van was in Covington and made the
generous offer, orders were given to
build 10 potato house with a capacity
OF about 1000 bushels, not as an in
vestment, but solely to help the
farmers.
fully appreciate the liberal do
nation of the Great Southern Lum-
Iber Company through Mr.. Sullivan,
and what we need Is more men like
Mr.. w. H. Sullivan in our midst.

TRINKET FUND
DRIVE TO BE
MADE OCT.
FIFTEEN

The September Woman's Home
Companion says, in speaking OF the
Treasure and Trinket Fund of Am
erica, "a vast fleet of airp,ains, hum
dreds of aeronautic training stations,
flock of thirty-f1ve thousand bird
men-that is what the United States
Government is planning In order that
We may win the war;
There are so many things needed
in this war against the central pow
ers that require direct contributions
Of money that the idea Of sending IN
old pieces OF gold and silver was
adopted with the feeling that 1t
would enable many to do something
to assist without adding to the drain
that has been made upon the pocket
book.
Every woman who reads the WO-
mans Home Companion will remem-
Der it's appeal to every girl and wo-
man who 'fhas tucked away in some
odd corner some bit of discarded
jewelry. She has always meant to
have it mended, but has not done SO
because some one has given her a
newer and more fashionable trinket.
Others may have a bft of battered
old plate, table silver NO longer used,
some old gift boarded because Of the
giver. And in nearly every home Is
thimble, some silver, some god.
ALI these things are wanted Tor the
Treasure and trinket Fund. Moth
ing you give in the way of gold or
silver scraps is too small to help"
The women Of st. Tammany par
ish have taken up this matter OF con-
tributing to the trinket fund, and
this parish has never failed to do its
share in any undertaking to help win
this war. All that is needed is the
conviction that this help is needed
And it is. needed. As the Home
Companion says, "But why help the
| aviators, do you ask? My son is in
the army. Mine is sailor. Be-
| cause every soldier and sailor is a
| thousand times safer in this terrible
war if he is fighting under the pro-
lection, literally, of the wings of the
United States"
| There will be a drive over the par.
| ish on the 18th instant, when q
house-to-house canvass will be made
and on the 10th there will be pub
Nc meeting at the school auditorium
in Covington. Mr.. Morgan has beer
asked to speak on that occasion and
other speakers have been asked tC
more talks on various nights at the
Parkview Theatre in explanation o.
the object Of the Trinket Fund
movement.
The better understanding the pee
pie have of the great good that maj
be accomplished in this direction
the more warmly they will come K
its support.
At the auditorium on the 18th, al
exhibition VIII be made OF the trink
| cts donated. There will be a musf
cal program and an interesting play
let, besides the speaking.
