LETTER

The following letter has been CIV
en- to the press of the state for pub
licity:
New Orleans, March 20, 1918.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
Dear Sir:-As president of the
Federal Land Bank | have been ap-
pointed on the State Committee of
War Savings to call to the atten-
tion of the farmers of this district
their duty in connection with War
Savings.
The Government has provided in

curity yet offered to any people.
The interest-bearing unit is the s., 90

of Defense Asks Help
From All.
EVERY EYE SHOULD
WATCH FOR ENEMY
These Spies Are Now In Our
Midst in Parish of St.
Tammany.

many Parish:

To the Loyal People Of st. Tam
many Parish:
The St. Tammany Branch of the
National Council of Defense is en-
deavoring to be of some use to our
country in this, its time OF trouble,
and we call upon the loyal people
of the parish to cooperate with us in
this effort. 1t is our aim to assist
the National Government in every
step it takes for the proper prosecn
tiOn of the war. Just at this time
our people can be of invaluable as
sistance to the Nation (Which means
themselves) in obeying the food laws
and seeing that their neighbors do
the same. Every loyal citizen should
consider himselfsa committee of one
to report merchants or individuals
who are not being regulated by the
new food laws. These reports should
be sent to the local Food Commis-
sioner, or IL they will be sent to the
Council of Defense will be properly
delivered. Such reports will be
ilh0u10O III COAAuCASO, IL AotCcc04y.
One of the greatest menaces. II
not the very greatest, facing our
country today is the enemy in our
midst. You are either for our coun-
try or against it; you are either an
asset to the Nation or a liability.
Neutrality ceased and dividing of
the ways was reached last April 9Th,
and yet we find people who are luke
warm concerning the war and not
raising their hands to assist their
Nation. Worse than this, thousands
throughout the country and few in
st. Tammany, at heart, are against
their Nation. These should be
watched and their unpatriotic utter
ances and reasonable actions should
be reported to the Council OF De-
fense. The Government is prepared
to handle them, and all reports, ex-
cepting anonymous ones, will be &C
cepted, turned in to the proper places
and held in strict confidence.
We invite the cooperation of all
loyal citizens in every effort to fur
ther the cause of our country, and
particularly in the above two fea-
lures, which are probably the most
important just at this time.
Respectfully,
E. G. DAVIS,
Chairman St. Tammany Council Of
Defense.

The forty-sx members present at

a keen interest in Red Cross work
and expressed an anxiety to get busy
at once, this being especially SO with
those who have relatives somewhere
over there
Sewing machines are being put in
order, tables and lockers are being
built and uniforms are being made
with a view Of beginning work next
week and if there be any truth III
the saying that coming events cast
their shadows before them then the
other colored auXiliaries in the par
ish (not excepting the Lewisburg
work, although only three weeks
old will have to trot rapid pace
to keep from being beaten by this
baby auxiliary.
The Vaudeville colored auxiliary
will, until further notice, meet every
Thursday at 2 to 6 p. m. at the Sons
and Daughters Hall in Marigny ave.
The Rev. Weaver and Bro. Marshal

ever the English language Is spoken,
will be screened at special picture
show next Saturday, April 6, at the
Hip Theatre, for the benefit Of the
Vaudeville public school. Admis-
sion Is cents straight.
Some people may ask, why does
this just finished new school already
need assistance? The answer IS,
that because of the high cost Of ma
terial there was scarcely enough
money, as a matter of fact, severa.
hundred dollars had to be borrowed
to pay the last installment to the
builder, and the money sought to be
raised by this entertainment is for
the purpose Of filling, grading and
sewering the grounds. equipping a
library, purchasing piano, all CT
which are sorely needed, especially
so if this school becomes junior
high school next year. and while
you are aiding the above good cause
you are getting more than your mon
ey's worth in the shape of "a magnifi-
cent and elaborate picture, featuring
the same principles as in Jack and
the Beanstalk."

The Base Ball Series

Several times earlier in
the week there was men
toned in "The Oasis" the
fact that a base ball nine
from Troop c, Tenth Ca
valry, which command was
at Nogales last summer,
had come from Fort Huac-
huca to play off a tie in a
series of games that was
scheduled at that time with
a nine from E. Company,
35th Infantry, but not COM
pleted on account of remov-
al of the troop.
The first game of the
series Thursday afternoon
resulted in a victory for E..
Company by a score of II
to IA. Yesterday the need
of success went to c. Troop,
the score being 10 to 13.
This afternoon the last
game of the series will be
pulled off at the ball ground
near the camp of the 35th.
After the game the win
ner will be presented with a

To Use Cars This Winter

s0To get the maximum eff
ficiency from our auto
mobiles during war times
they cannot be laid up for
the Inter, "says F. A. Kirk
wood" the electrical expert
in charge of Karns Bros.
Inc, Electrical department.
However, the electrical
system is subject to undue
strain on account of the ex-
treme difficulty of starting
in the cold mornings with
the low grade fuels now in
use."
"Any damage due to this
cause may be easily avoided
by careful and consistent at
tention paid to the condition
OF the generator and StOr-
age battery. If the genera
tor should not function
properly due to the changes
in temperature it cannot
charge the battery suf-
ficiently for the ordinary
demands of the electrical
system"
"The average car is now
equipped with apparatus
permitting of proper re-
gulatiof1 to maintain a full
ly charged battery in spite
of the heavy overloads in
the winter months" !"
"Karns Bros. Inc, are
now prepared to render
quick and efficient service
to those who contemplate
the use of their care during

The Secret


Of our success as sellers Of
silver and glass ware is that we
purchase only from manufac-

consider fair. Our jewelry

as any sensible buyer would
