from Mr.. w. p. Dinkins, OF Dinkins
Brothers, Lacombe, 14-pound cab
bage that weighed 10 pounds after
the leaves were trimmed to a hard
head, and a purple-top turnip that
weighed IA pounds. They were
raised by Capt. ]. M. Barringer OF
that place and proved to be just as
fine to eat as to look upon. These
kind are war cabbages and turnips.
and Kaiser Bill wouldn't have to do
without sourkraut and turnip soup
with a few Captains of Farming like
Captain Barringer.

Report Of Parish Chairman
Eads Poitevent on
The Result.
REPORT THOSE
REFUSING TO GIVE
List of Those Contributing
Furnished by Chairman
John Haller. 4

st. Tammany parish was allotted
SIS, 900 for the Red Cross drive just
finished. 1t raised over $4,000.
This must be gratifying to the parish
chairman, Eads Poitevent, and to
every committee member Of the vari-
GUS wards and to the women who
worked so hard and enthusiastically.
1t must, also, be special source OF
pride to those who contributed liber-
ally of their means to help the Red
Cross.
There were instances in which
some gave more than they were as
sessed, and there were some who
gave nothing. but the sentiment was
so strong throughout the whole par
ish that failure of those to give ac-
cording to their means was discussed
with considerable bitterness.
According to Instructions from
the headquarters of the Cult Di,
vision, the names OF those who re-
fused to give and Of those who would
not give nearly what they were ap-
parently able to give, were taken
down, with their reason for refusal,
and sent in-for the investigation that
will be made. Some small checks
were returned for this reason.
Chairman Poitevent expresses his
appreciation of the service rendered
by the speakers who visited the
towns in the various wards. They
we're Harvey E. Ellis, E. G. Davis,
T. NJ. Burns, Supt. Lyon, A. D.
Schwartz and L. c. Noise.
