TO RECOGNITION
Hs;s Done Excellent War
Service and Supporting
War Measures.

To-day, May 4, viii be q b 8 daz
in Slide.l. The war work that ls- be
ing done by this patriotic town mas
won it considerable distinc ion, and
it is. fortunate enough to eNab its
people TO listen to words Of advice
and instruction from the fountain
head of the state food admins tfa-
tion. This is important from the
fact that the food situation is one
that must be understood in order
that each may do his part. The poor
man as we'll as the rich may lend aid,
and will be willing to aid, il 1t is au-
established just what is
required, and whether this require
ment attaches to the individual every
where else as we'll as here. Also
that the necessity absolutely exists.
Mr.. Parker's standing as man and
his undisputed patriotism will cause
the people to heed what he may have
10 say, and will greatly aid in
strengthening conservation in this
section.
Mr.. Parker will speak under the
auspices of the Slidell Community
Council OF Defense. The speaking
will take place at 5 p. IN. People
from all over the parish should take
advantage OF this opportunity.

PROCLAMATION.

Viewing the great importance Of
rendering every service possible that
Will assist in winning the war, and
realizing the excellent work being
done by the Red Cross in all fields, I
urge upon the people the considera-
ton OF the fact that no sacrifice is
too great that will bring care and
comfort to our wounded soldiers or
that may preserve their lives.
Therefore, call upon all loyal
citizens OF Covington to render
every possible aid in making the
Second Red Cro-s Drive that will
commence May 20 and continue to
and including May 81, success
worthy of the record we have held IN
the past in Red Cross work. Give
and give cheerfully.

High Prices of Vegetables
Cause of Action To
Cut Middle Men.
BETTER PRICES
TO THE FARMER
Station For Wagons Will Be
Given On The Town
Square.

To encourage farmers and insure
them a market for their produce the
women of Covington have obtained
the consent Of the Mayor and the
Town Attorney to establish curb
market for the sale Of farm products.
Permission has been obtained to use
the town square for this purpose,
and the engine house may be used
in case Of bad weather or when shade
is imperatively necessary.
1t is claimed that at present the
prices of vegetables to the consumer
are exorbitantly high and that the
farmer is not getting prices In pro-
portion. 1t is proposed that house
wives shall agree to attend the curb
market on market days to purchase
direct from the farmer, thereby
avoiding the middle man, making
vegetables cheaper and at the same
time giving the farmer higher price
than he has been in the habit of
getting.
The proposition grew from dis
cussion OF the subject by the execu-
tive board OF the Women's Progress
sive Union at its meeting Monday.
Miss Martha Williams gave the board
information relative to crops being
grown and the market for same that
encouraged the board to believe that
such step was the proper one to
take. There will be very large
quantity of fruit grown this year.
The first day Of the market will be
Saturday, May IL, from 8 to II
o'clock noon.
Letteds will be written to farmers
selling vegetables asking them to
meet the demands. BY cooperation
of both, the farmer may establish
sales days on which he may depend
to dispose Of his produce. 1t large
ly depends upon him to make the
curb market a success. There Will
be joint consideration OF the mat
ter by the farmers and the women to
fix prices.

FIREMEN'S MAY
TO BE
A BIG AFFAIR
MAY 18TH

The firemen of Coyington are MAX
ing big preparations for the May
Festival to be given at the Fair
Grounds, Sunday, May 70. for the
purpose of securing funds to carry
out necessary improvements in the
service of the department. There
will be athletic games, baseball, rae
ing and other amusements, and there
is no doubt tbat every one who at
tends will have good time.
Great improvement has lately been
made in the department. There is
provision now for getting the engine
out promptly on the sounding of the
alarm and valuable property has
been saved by early arrival at fires.
A man is employed to be on the
premises all the time and to take
care of the machinery, etc. There
are improvements badly needed,
however. and the only means of Sc
curing money for this purpose is
through the liberality Of the public.
The department feels that it can give
the public value received for every
penny spent in attending this enter
tainment, and property-holders will
be greatly benefited by increased Sc
curity from fire.
An endeavor will also be made to
make the entertainment interesting
for children, and there will be child
ren's games. Admission will be %
cents for adults; 10 tents for the
children.

affair in charge:
