a PROTEST AGAINST FEELING
TIMBER PRONfISCOUSLY.

Covington, La, Nov. IS, 1918.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
l own real estate near Covington.
For months timber interests in the
vicinity have been telling trees across
the roadways, plowing up the soil
and unbarred parts ofthe roads with
innumerabe ox-team paths that have
become quagmires, and giving to the
once attractive surroundings the ap-
pearance of devastation and waste
probably surprising the wake OF
routed army. 1t is hardly fair that
the privilege of timber owners to
handle their timber without regards
to the maintenance OF public roads,
or to the interests of adjacent prop
erty owners should inure perpetually,
and those who believe in equal rights
feel that protection is due to them.
It is difficult to reach affected
properly as it is hopeless to sell. and,
on yesterday a prospective buyer de-
clined to approach my property. ex-
claiming that his family would die
amidst such gloomy surroundings.
agree with large realty buyer
and seller, that when the investing
public awakens to the many unfav-
orabIe local conditions will come a
great injury to the parish and its
people. Let 10 right these condi-
tions nov.

SHALL WE GET
BURLINGTON
HIGHWAY

Engineer Formy, of the State High
way Department, was in Covington
last week working on the survey OF
the Burlington Highway, road rum
ming from St. Paul to New Orleans.
The road is completed to Hatties-
burg. From thence it goes to Boga-
lusa and will continue by way OF Gov
ington, shor;6 the survey show ad-
vantage in doing so. The interest
of the people of this esction Will
have considerable to do with the
passage of this road through Coving-
ton. For one thing, the road from
here to Hammond would have to be
completed. The advantage OF such. a
road to Covington need not be COM
mented on. 1t is self-evident.
In the near future a public meet
ing will be held in Covington to dis
cuss the matter. The date OF this
meeting will be announced.

Flu Considered To Be No
Longer a Bar To
Such Action.
THANKSGIVING, 28TH,
WILL BE A HOLIDAY.
Hours of School Will Be
Lengthened to Catch
Up Lost Time.

The Covington, public school will
open Monday, November 20.
Everybody will be glad to see them
open again. and especially glad the
cause OF their being closed. the hu,
has sufficiently subsided to make 1t
possible to open them.
The children have had quite q va
cation and are no doubt ready to put
in some hard studying to make up
for the time lost. Some arrange
ment has been entered into by which
longer school hours will be in vogue
so that teachers may catch up with
lost time, say half an hour earlier In
the morning and half an hour later
in the afternoon. Also the usual
holiday vacation around Christmas
time will be omitted. There will be
a holiday Thanksgiving, Nov. 2Sth.
There have been many lessons
learned during the war that will be
put to practical use in business, and
no doubt there will be some of them
applied to the schools, but just what
form they will take we cannot state.

HOOVEHS PLEDGE.

Herbert Hoover pledged the people
of the United States to perseverance
in and fidelity to the cause. Food
will win the war" was the slogan
at the wars start. Food will win
the world is the slogan that will
close the war. The right kind OF
peace, the democracy that will be
permanent, can only be secured by
averting famine from world on the
verge Of starvation. Other countries
may now be drawn upon for food.
but it will remain the task of the
United States to supply most of the
food needed, for the sake Of self-in-
terest as we'll as humanity. For the
sure and glorious future OF the COM
plete victory of unselfshness, the
American people must save and send
moro food than ever.

IS
FINE FOR A
GOOD FAIR

The Fair is now attracting more
attention than it ever has. The fact
that Thanksgiving Day, the day of
opening, is a general holiday, should
bring a larger crowd to the fair than
is usual on that day. There will be
added attractions from the fact that
Tangipahoa has entered and will try
to take away some of the prizes.
Mr.. Karl Treen, the boys cub
agent, and Miss Martha Williams. in
charge of the girls clubs, will be on
their P's and Q's to see that st. Tam
many is not outdone.
1t is whispered that some good
horses are in the races, and th5
weather will be delightful for dane
ing, so there should be plenty of
young folks waiting for the opening.
If everybody pulls together. we
will have a big fair.

T. C.. MURRY NOT DEAD
AS REPORTED.

The report of the death OF 7. c.
Murray, one Of the airshp fliers sup
posed to have been in the service In
France, caused some comment among
those who had known him in Gov
ington at T. c.. the boosblack. All
who remember him will be glad to
learn that the report is not true.
T, C. was quite a character in Gov
ington. He was an exceptionally
bright little Irish lad. and while ne
did not go to France. he Is in the
aviation corps in this country, ana
from all reports was making good
up to the close of the war. He was
probably better known by Whit
Riggs than any one oustide OF the
family.
Mr.. Riggs says that he owned a
fishing boat that the boys used to
steal away from its moorings, so
that when he wanted to use it it was
frequently not to be found. He
knew that T. C. headed the crowd OF
young delinquents who took his boat,
so he called T. C. aside and told him
that he had a boat on the river and
the boys were in the habit OF taking
it. II T. c. would see that the boys
did not bother it, T. c. might take
it when ever he pleased to. After
that, Mr.. Riggs said his boat was al
ways ready when he wanted 1t.
Mr.. Riggs gave 7. c. a lecture at
one time, telling him what bright
boy he was and how he could make
something if he only tried. Shortly
after that T. C. disappeared. A year
or so later he appeared in Mr.. Riggs
office, nicely dressed and proudly
erect. He accounted for his pros
perity by stating that he had thought
over what Mr.. Riggs had said and
profited by it. 1t was some time
afterwards when he joined the av.a'
ton corps.

AN INCREASED DEMAND FOR
COTTON.

Attention is called to the follow
ing statemst made by Mr.. Charles
]. Brand, chairman Of the Committee
on Cotton Distribution and Chief OF
the Bureau OF Markets Of the De-
partment of Agriculture. on Novem-
ber IA, announcing the Committees
action requiring the suspension OF
speculative short" selling of cotton
on the exchanges. 1t will be noted
that the Cotton Committee, reflect
ing the views of the Department OF
Agriculture as well as Of the cotton
experts constituting the committee.
confidently expect an increase In vol
ume of exporta and consumption OF
cotton.
The signing of the armistice
brings US suddenly to The threshold
of the reconstruction era. Pending
developments are Of the utmost Inn
portance to the entire cotton world.
1.-The consequences of unfounded
rumors that tend to promote vicious
speculative activity and cause un-
justified decentralization must be
avoided as far as possible. In order
that harmful violent price tiuctua-
tions may be checked the Committee
on Cotton Distribution has ordered
all speculative short selling on the
New York and New Orleans Cotton
Exchanges stopped, and, to make this
order thoroughly effective, has re-
quired that no selling orders except
in liquidation Of long contracts be
executed from any foreign country.
1.-THE stoppage Of sinkings by the
U-boats, the monthsly increase In
new ship tonnage and the releasing
of ships now engaged in supplying
the fleets Of the Allies, together with
the freeing of space previously used
in sending munitions to Europe. will
mean a large increase in available
tonnage for cotton exports.
"The worlds requirements Of cot
ton to meet its increasing demands
for clothing will henceforth be ON 4
continuously ascending scale. Based
on reports to this committee nom
the various foreign countries, We es-
innate their requirements and prob
abb exports of cotton under present
conditions to be over two million
bales in excess of last seasons
takings.
Europe is almost denuded Of cot.
ton and cotton goods. The potential
buying power Of the world which
will be aided and hastened by thu
establishment Of the necessary cred.
its will quickly assert itoolf."

Decision Reached After a
Discussion at Meeting
of Merchants.
NO TICKETS WILL
BE USED IN FUTURE
Merchants and Customers
Must Use Discretion
In Matter.

The merchants OF Covington met
In the rooms of the Association OF
Commerce Thursday afternoon at ;
O'Clock to take action with reference
to the ditsributoin Of sugar. Under
the new ruling 1t has been left to the
various communities to make such
regulations as they deemed advis-
abe. At present the three pound
limit for each person il in vogue and
tickets have been issued until De-
cenber LIST.
Mr.. Mackie. Covington chairman
of the food commission. presided. He
told the merchants that II they saw
fit to remove all restrictions ana
leave it to the purchaser to exercise
due precaution in the use Of sugar.
the ticket system might be aboliam-
ed, with the understanding that after
the first four pounds of sugar might
be purchased for each person with
out use of tickets. Ticket holders
may purchase to the amount OF their
tickets II they wish. He could not
tell, however, when merchants would
be able to buy sugar in Quantities
desired to meet demands. There 1s
little high grade sugar on the MARKET
at the present time.
The merchants agreed to suspend
the issuance Of tickets and to take
the matter up again should It be-
come desirable.
All the merchants agreed that the
ticket system had been Of great SER
vice in handling sugar under the COM
|ditions that existed during the war.
|, Mr.. Sheffield offered resolutions
thanking Secretary OF Council. Mr.
Perreand, for the efncient and patr1-
otic work he had performed n thu
distribution Of tickets, this work hav-
ing been performed without compen>s
|sation.
Mr.. Perreand was called In and
the resolutions reported to him. He
expressed his appreciation Of this 80
knowledgment Of his services. H0
said he had tried to do his bit. (Nr.
Perreand scorned the suggestion Of
some ono present that hs had got
"bit").
The issuing Of tickets and keeping
track Of holders required = great
deal Of ONCE work and was handled
by Mr.. Perreand efficiently.
