RACES TO BE HELD
EVERY DAY OF FAIR
Big Prize List To Be Special
Feature, Worth Com
peting For,

AS there will be few parish fairs
held in the state. the st. Tammany
fair will attract considerable atten-
|tion. Besides the opportunity of ex-
cellent selection of agricultural pro-
ducts, by reason of increased produc-
tion to meet war demands, the ex-
hibits should be of greater interest
than ever. Also, being one of very
few fairs, there will be exhibits from
other parishes that have not been
able to exhibit in their own parish.
Mr.. Karl Treen, boys club agent,
and Miss Martha Williams, in charge
of the Girls clubs, have taken special
interest in this matter and have had
the hearty cooperation of the fair
officials in seeking entries from these
parishes. 1t is understood that Tan
gipahoa and Washington parishes
will make entries. and in c0nsidera-
tion therefor the state allowance of
$500 for these two parishes will be
allotted to this parish and the par
ishes interested will give 500 each
for prizes, making $500 in prizes for
a strong inducement and help great
ly to increase interest in the fair.
The Women's Progressive Union
will have charge of the restaurant
and in accord with their usual sue
cess in this department, visitors will
find their needs in the food line we'll
taken care of.
Also arrangements will be made
for the comfort of the visitors gener-
ally on the fair grounds. Music,
dancing and amusements will be pro-
vided to pass the time pleasantly, and
there will be the usual speaking and
opening day celebration. The races,
which will occur daily, will have
some excellent entries.
1t is expected that the same rail-
road rates of one and one-third will
be given by the railroads for the
deferred dates.

LADIES SHOULD ATTEND THE
FIRST AID CLASSES.

Now that the influenza epidemic
has abated, it is time for the ladies
to see the necessity of the formation
of First Aid Glasses under the direc-
tion of the American Red Cross.
After the great tragedy and sacrifice
Of human life, where people died
without at least first aid" which in
many cases could have been used II
only the means of knowing how 1t
should be done had been there. Tho
past "fu" epidemic must teach US q
lesson, never to forget to be pre-
pared for an emergency"
The classes are now in course Of
formation. Send in your name and
as soon as the required number Of
applicants are secured we will begin.
Yours truly,

LETTERS FROM

Mr.. and Mrs. L. c. Noise, of Gov

ing letter from their son, Vaughan,
who is somewhere in France" dat
ed Sept. 18, 1913:
My Dear Mother and Father:
l suppose you are anxious to hear
from me ] have been in the front
line trenches As days getting ready
for our big drive, which took place
on September 18th, at 10 O'Clock a.
m. Our big guns began roaring at
q. m. and we went over the top.
At first the Huns thought it was the
French trying to scare them, but
they soon found out it was the
"Black Snakes" as we Americans
boys are called by the Germans.
Bullets and all sorts Of fires were
falling so fast we did not know what
minute would be our last. 1t was
awful; but finally we got them, and
they started to run, and we ran
those d Dutchmen thru hell, and
we are not thru with them yet-we
are going to clean out the whole Ger
man race. We killed and captured
all in our way. They ran so fast
we had to stop and wait for our
kitchen to catch up and bring US
food, then we were again ready for
the Huns. We were in this drive
four days and four nights without
any rest. We took thirty-six square
kilometers. l tell you l will never
forget this drive. but l came out
without a scratch. l assure you l
am proud and happy to know l was
able to do my bit to help my coun-
try crush the Huns, and l am ready
to go over the top any time l am
called.
This enclosed memoranda was
given all the boys by our Brigadier
General after the drive.

be home soon, so do not worry about
us over here.
Love to all at home.

The memoranda referred to above
is as follows:
Headquarters 18Oth Inf. Brigade,
American Expeditionary Forces,
September 80, 1913.
The Brigade commander wishes to
praise in unmeasured terms the or
ganizations of the Brigade that have
accomplished their missions since
early morning September IL, 1918.
You have received your baptism of
fire in a truly splendid manner,
worthy of your people at home, and
of the great States that you repre-
sent. In front of you the Germans
had lines of defenses which they had
constantly improved thru a period
of four years. These you broke.
and in a series of rapid operations,
made yourselves masters of over 26
square kilometers of enemy territory
until checked by his second defensive
system.
No higher ideals have ever been
fought for than those for which you
fight. Your enemy has violated
every law of God and man and has
committed every atrocity Of which
his cruel mind could conceive. Close
with him and let steel put an end
to the self-styled campaign of fright
fulness.

Covington, Madisonville and Abita
