MR.. .FARRISAS
COOPERATION
OF PEOPLE,
NO. N.

Manager Farris, of the New Or
leans Great Northern Railroad dis
cussed railroad matters with the As
sociation of Commerce at a public
meeting held at the courthouse in
CovingtOn last Monday.
Mr.. Tarris reviewed the railroad
situation as it affected the n. o. e. n.
and made a strong appeal for the
cooperation Of the people under cir
cumstarces that made it of mutual
benefit. The lack of money, the re-
constructive policy that must be
carried out and new conditions gen.
orally demanded curtailment Of ex
penses until the obligations OF the
government were net.
Mr.. Farris recited the circum-
stances under which the order OF
the Railroad Commission for the
building of a new depot for Coving-
ton was made He said that the
original order was obtained by At
torney Fred. ]. Heintz, acting for
the Association of Commerce in July,
1918, and that it had been the in
tention of the company to build the
depot the latter part of 1917 or the
first of 1918 Then came the edict
OF the Government that none but ao-
solutely necessary building should be
done, such as needed and helpful in
carrying out the war plans. Hence
nothing was done in the depot mat
ter. lhe cost Of material and labor
has doubled.
Recently attorney Heintz had ask
ed for an enforcement Of the order
OF the Commission, and the railroad
was instructed to build within 120
days from July 2. A rehearing was
granted Tuesday, September 23, and
an ext 9nsion of time was granted TO
ninety Gays from January l. Due to
wartime regulation the railroad had
no organization and no funds. The
Government took from the company
S279,0O9 in bank and $4,000 in The
hands of conductosr and agents.
That il would advance $500, 900,
barely interest on the first mortgage
bonds and expenses. That the Gov
eminent owes 100000 year on
depreciation of equipment and con-
struction. That the net operating
income is small That the road had
used 100000 making additions to
proper.y. The Railroad Commits
sion agreed that the building of the
depot should be deferred at least
~ days fom January /.
Mr.. 3 NJ. Miller. attorney for the
railroad company, said that this was
on the supposition that the roads
We're II the hands of the company
january /, that if for any unfore-
seen reason they We're not, then the
~ days would extend from the time
they were.
Mr., ReintZ stated that Poitevent
FaVre had valued the property on
which the depot is to be built at
SloOO. The Poitevents had donated
tnls land, with the proviso that it
should revert to them in case it
should cease to be used as a depot
site
Mr.. Farris was asked if the site
ol the present depot would be re-
ieased to the town. He said he
could no. answer this question with
Out consulting his company, !but at
all events he could give the assur-
ance that the ground would be beau
tlned and become an ornament to
Covington.
The Gepots to be built at Mande-
vile and Warnerton come within the
same ruling as the Covington depot.

was eating candy. He said, lady,
can't you stop that child? She sail,
the baby is not crying for your candy,
neither is she crying for her father
she is ccying because my dress opens
in the back.
Why would all the restaurant
managers make good cavalry men?
Because they are such gallant charg-
ers.
Well, you have got to have lots
of money these days to live. The
price of food Is something awful.
The other day / went into O first
class restaurant. When the waiter
came for my order, said, just bring
me $40 worth of hash. He said, we
don't serve half portions in this
restaurant. And the people-haVe
you stopped to consider how every
one is trying to get hold of the

so it isn't safe to carry your watch
to church on Sunday.
The other day woman secured a
divorce from her husband because
he spent SO much time al his club.
He preferred the EIks to his little
Dear.
Women always fall in love with
brave men-because they are the
only ones that get married. The
only difference between a married
man and soldier is the soldier
stands UP and gets shot, and the
married man surrenders and gets a
life sentence.
l find that there are two kinds Of
people that make foolish matches
men and women. Nearly all mar
riages are very happy, but the peo-
pie are not. am told that the
incest men are married men. They
were not always nice-they were
caught early and tanned. Before
you get married It's a case of spoon.
After you get married it's a case Of
fork over.
A New Orleans business house re-
Gently transferred one of their fresh
stenographers to a branch house in
a nearby city. On the first morn
ing in the office the new steno said
to the manager, Il suppose that you
start the days business the same as
they do in the home office?" He
said, Yes, presume So" She said,
All right then, kiss me and I'll start
to work.
l saw an advertisement in the
paper the other day that read: We
advise every one to buy one OF our
fall suits before they go up.

said, oh, that's all right, We can
paint them any color you like. We
sold one to young lady this morn
ing and we painted her legs brown.
said, l don't see the attachment.
He said, oh, you don't see that until
you have missed a payment.
Last month a friend of mine sent
me a crate of chickens and four bot
ties of whisky. The careless express
man put the bottles of whisky on top
of the crate of chickens and In some
way the bottles were broken. The
whisky ran all over the chickens.
Ever since l received the shipment
l have been eating steWed chicken.

Eyes, yes, of course. In fact, |
shall have to raise my rents on ac-

Moore, Arthur Trout" is the inscrip-
tior Oh a motor car that passed
through Covington Thursday. The
travellers were from the Evergreen

The boys were from the Army, hav-
ing served in France, and were on
their way to Honduras, where they
go for the United Fruit Company.
They left from Madisonville by boat
for New Orleans. Mrs. Laura Moore,
mother of Leonard, was with the
party, and seemed to be enjoying the
trip as much as the boys. She says
she has a fine summer resort in the

Life Is just one darn thing after
another. Love is just two darn
things after each other.
My friend Charlie received a let
ter from the Black Hand Society the
other day, saying il he didn't give
up two thousand dollars they would
steal his wife. He answered them
and told them he didn't have the
money, but, nevertheless, he was IN
terested in their proposition. Chas.
says he feels as welcome in his home
as pug nose in Jerusalem. He and
his wife love each other so much
they can fight and enjoy it. She is
so contrary she talks back to the
phonograph. She is lige an auto
mobile-alWays running somebody
down. She has the foot-and-mouth
dlSea6e-She talks all day ana adnceS
all night. She has habit of walk
ing in her sleep, so he had to get her
night watchman. She is very af-
fectionate and loves kissing, and /
think the driver Of the grocery Wag-
on knows it. Charlie said to him,
Don't you let me catch you kissing
my wife again" He said "Al1 right,
I'll be careful" Charles wife had
limousine habits ON a jitney income.
The only time Charlie and his wife
went out together was when the gas
stove blew up. Charlie told his wife
when she gets forty he was going to
swap her for two twenties.
A great many people look upon
marriage as a great joke. Just try
it and see how many laughs you get
out Of it.

tricts. Plans provide for visits to all
the men who offered their lives for
the American cause and who still are
giving unselfishly of their time that
all Americans shall have the oppor.
tunity of learning why they are asked
further to lend aid to the government.
These boys, many of them just re-
covered from serious wounds, have
volunteered to act as Victory Loan
speakers. They will be in all sections
and their message is one of particu-
lar interest in remote districts.
War trains, bearing the speakers,
will make stops anywhere from a half
hour to two hours in each of the towns
visited. On each train will be an *
hibit of captured German war material
Also there will be an American whip
pet" tank, which will be run down
skids to the street and participate in
a parade. Local speakers in each in
stance will be asked to join with the
soldiers in conveying the Victory Loan
message to the people. Time of ar
rival of the train at each town will be
announced beforehand in the local pa
pers, so that the country people can
arrange to be in town for the event.
OF course, the government is not
going to fail because any one individ-
ual does not subscribe to the Loan, but
if there are a few million non-sub-
scribers, then the government will be
sadly incOmmoded financially and the
results on every phase of national life
will be serious.
This is the answer the returned he
roes will have for the man who takes
the "let George do it" attitude, VINO
says there are plenty of other men
who can better afford to subscribe to
the Loan.
Reports received at headquarters
every day show conclusively that the
rural campaign is to date of the most
encouraging nature. Great results are
expected and all the Central Commit
tee Loan workers are confident over
subscription will result in every dis
trict.

One of the biggest features Is the
flight of a huge naval dirigible, equ' p
ped with all its engines of destruction
as used in actual warfare. This bal
loon will travel from its base near
Philadelphia to the far corners of
the district, making at least two flights
each week of the campaign.
During its daily flights it will be
in the air twelve hours, half of which
time will be spent in flying over the
towns and communities far into the
interior. 1t is capable of making a
speed of 30 miles an hour, and easily
can reach the most distant communi-
ties and return the same day, mixing
several demonstrations en- route. SO
watch the sky, and your vigilance, no
doubt, will be rewarded.
The dirigible will be piloted by M
Ensign C. w. Tyndall, of New York,
who spent many months guarding the
Atlantic Coast from the air, on the
lookout for German submarines. He
has mastered every trick of operating
the big monitor of the air and will fly
at low altitude, so that good oppor-
tunity may be had to observe the
manipulation of the balloon. During
his flights he will from time to time
release smoke bombs, such as were
thrown about troopships when they
were being conveyed across the At
lantic. He will also drop Victory Loan
literature.
Another big feature will be the dis
tribution of interesting motion picture
films to hundreds of towns-some of
them showing American soldiers in
action in France. Deeds of dOughbOy
heroism, which put fear into the heart
of the Boche, feats of the "Teufel
Hunden' or "Devil Dogs" as the Ger
mans called the American marines, and
exploits of "those fool Yankees who
dashed over the top with no thought
Of personal safety-these and other
thrilling features will be shown on the
screen.
Another strong appeal has been de-
signed especially for the rural dis
