FREDERICK FARM PRO-
DUCES GOOD CROP.

E. J. Frederick has been conduct
ing a small stock farm of fiftee
acres near Madisonville which has
proved a profitable undertaking AMI
which he will enlarge to thirty
acres this coming season. He has
fifteen head of cattle on this farm
and has imported a Brahma bull
which he runs with his herd to grade
up. He raised 800 bushels of corn
on this small farm the past season,
200 bushels of which he sold to
Jones & Pickett Company this week.
He used commercial fertilizers at
the rate of 100 pounds to the acre,
very small amount when results
are considered.
Mr.. Frederick has also just shipped
$50 head of goats to this farm.
Mr.. Frederick is also operating a
saw mill which is turning out valu-
able cypress timber, taken from his
own land, which is finely timbered.
This mill is at present getting out
the cypress piling to be used in the
of the new bridge of the
New Orleans & St. Tammany Rail-
ways & Ferry Company, which IS
now being built across the Bogue
Falaya river at Covington: Ship
ments of cypress timber are also be-
ing made to New Orleans. The out
put is $4,000 to $1,000 feet day.

FORMER POLICE
JURYWASHING-
TON INDICTED
Embezzlement Charged for
Lending Money to Con-
tractor for Roads. W

The former members of the police
jury of Washington parish, serving
from 1912 to 1916, have been in
dicted by the grand jury because
they awarded a road contract 10 a
former sheriff and then lent him
money with which to buy equipment.
AS We understand it, under the law
this is embezzlement, but it does not
)appear that any crime has been
committed beyond this technical
crime. Until the testimony is Eeard
and the case tried there is no way
of forming an intelligent opinion Of
the matter. The Bogalusa Enter
prise publishes the following news
account of it. The same paper edi-
torially defends the police jury:
1.-The former members of the police
jury who were charged with en-
bezzlement as a result of an investi-
cation by the grand jury were ar
raigned before Judge Carter last
Thursday afternoon when he over
ruled a motion to quash the indict
ments. The case has been set for
trial at the regular criminal term
on March 8.
''An exception of prescription was
filed by the defendants on the ground
that it had been more than one year
|since the acts complained of We're
called to the attention of the proper
officers whose duty it was TO prose-
cute. Testimony was taken on this
exception and the district attorneys
statement was to the effect that
such a time had elapsed. However,
Judge Carter overruled the excep-
tion. -Whereupon the defendants
filed a motion to quash the indict-
ment on the ground that the indict-
ment as written set out no crime
under the laws of this state. That
it merely recited certain acts OF
the defendants now complained of
but did not follow any statute in its
wording which is required under our
criminal law. The only statute
touching the subject of the indict-
ment is the one defining and max
ing embezzlement crime. In rul-
ing on that motion the Judge stated
that it followed the statute close
enough to set out the crime"

"A feature of the week, that will

PUPILS PUTOUT
OF SCHOOL IN
TANGIPAHOA
Court Asked to Protect the
Teachers in Keeping
Their Jobs? ....s.

, A situation has arisen In school
matters in Tangipahoa parish that is
causing some little excitement and
may develop some friction between
the teachers and the school hoard.
Under the law there must be sep
arate schools for negroes and whites.
This part of the proposition is simple
enough, but when it comes to the
question of just how white a pupil
must be to be classed as white and
Just what shade of black must creep
into the complexion to prevent ms
or her attendance at the white
school, the microscope is transferred
from opinion and becomes focused
upon records and testimony, school
board resolutions and and court rul-
ings, and incidentally there is gen
eral stir-up that brings all the scum
to the top.
1t seems that several pupils were
put out of the white agricultural
school at Loranger, La, by Misses
Lillian Kelly, Eleanor Cook and Mrs.
w. H. Bingham, because it was
maintained that these pupils were
not white and therefore not entitled
under the law to the privileges Of
the white school. At least these
teachers are petitioners, through
their attorneys, Miller & Burns, ot
Covington, that the school board be
restrained from discharging them
from their positions as teachers, be-
cause, they say, Notwithstanding a
resolution of the school board that
these pupils shall be allowed to at
tend this white school, they (the
teachers) believe they are support
ed by the law in refusing to do so,
and that the pupils under the law
should be debarred from the school.
The case will come up before
Judge Robt. S. Ellis of the Twenty
Sixth Judicial District Court. The
case may be of more than ordinary
interest here, because it involves
question of race that hit close to
people who are known in this parish.

THE DANCING SCHOOL.

Should a "Boost Covington Insti-
tutions Book" be written at the pres
ent time, setting forth the man-made
benefits and inducements of the
town, it is doubtful whether one in
stitution, which has proven itself an
almost necessary adjunct OF the
times, would receive even honorable
MENTION" although it deserves a
place at the head of the list.
\ Few people of Covington seem to
realize the great advantage which is
brought to their very doors by the
scientific and studied instruction CIV
en- here every Saturday at the dane
ing classes. Aside from the fact
that dancing has been an all-absorb-
ing fad all over the land for the past
I few years, there is deeper benefit
than just "fad" to be derived FROM
participation in it, as 1t Is now
being INDUCED in and taught IRON
New York to San Francisco, irclud-
ing our own Covington, for Miss
Olga Peters, who comes over for her
classes every Saturday, has had. and
still is getting, the best instruction
that New Orleans can afford. she
keeps distinctly abreast of the times
in her work, as is evidenced by the
fact that she has lately been special
izing in the Greek dances, with Mrs.
Lillian Lewis. these being the dances
Which in terpsichorean artistic cir
cles are now receiving the greatest
amount of attention.
This community has certainly had
demonstration enough of the value
Of this training to the children. who
participate i'm it. physically, mental
ely, artistically, and all the relative
sdevelopments. There has been no
recent entertainment to which Miss
Peters and her little performers have
mot been called as an aid. And they
always proved a material addition.
Not only is this true here in this
community. Attend what theatre

part of the performance Is always
accompanied by solo and chorus
