St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1919-01-18


like myself that in selecting names
of ships at the Madisonville ship
yard, the management has overlook
ed the dear, good, old, patriotic par
ish OF St. Tammany. This should
not be in view of the fact that her
citizens have never faltered in Drawn,
finances and economics and one
thousand and one other things to
contribute over her 100 per cent to
put the "keyser" out of business.
She has taken from her raw ma
terial, jokingly called hill billies'
and "red necks," from every nook
and corner of her borders and those
of her sister parishes and made first
class ship yard men of them.
1t cannot be said that this Is not
some accomplishment for the yard.
Now, get busy, and name one ship
after dear old St. Tammany and you
will hear the "hill billies" and "red
necks" shout and applaud from Tan
gipahoa to Pearl River.
We are glad to see Wilbur Dutsch,
foreman of No. 3 ship, back on the
job in the day time. He has been
serving us as night superintendent
for the past thirty days, but owing to
the return of the flu epidemic, the
management has decided to discon-
tinue night operations.
All the men, between COL and 900,
are very glad to learn that their
timekeeper, Mr.. Arnold koepp, is
back on the job as there will be no
more standing in line in the morn
ing waiting for their numbers to be
issued to them in order that they
may gain admission into the yard.
We are glad to note our Mr.. Rous-
seau, head timskeeper, has installed
new system of handling the tore
mems daily reports. The object of
this system Ia 10 eliminate confusion
and save time, SO it has proved very
successful 50 far.
We regret very much to learn of
the death of Mr.. James Daniels, on
Tuesday night, January IA, from an
attack of only a few days of influ-
enZa. Mr.. Daniels was employed by
this company for the past 18 months
in the capacity of ship carpenter.
He was member of Live Oak Camp
No. 266, w. o. W.
We also regret very much to an
nounce the death of Mr.. ID. W. Ben
nett, another one of our efficient ship
carpenters, who died last week from
an attack of heart failure. Mr.. Ben
nett was with this company from its
early beginning to it's last and great
undertakings.
Mr. F. C. Dubose, of Bogalusa,
made a flying trip to Madisonville
last Wednesday. He reports his town
is keeping pace with these modern
times.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. A. S.
Coval is back with the Jahncke Ship

Miss Louise, of Houltonville, visited
New Orleans this week on business.
We notice that Mr.. Louis Stock
feth has been looking uneasy for
the past week, and, as he has no
symptoms Of the flu, we fear that his
frequent visits uptown have led to
the argument of What kind of fur
niture are you going to buy?" This
and the fact that there is a scarcity
of houses in Madisonville, we be-
lieve, has caused this worthy gentle
man to worry about larger suitable
quarters In the near future.
We are sorry to learn that Mr.. A.
Cuzzort and wife, of Houltonville,
are confined to their beds with a
severe attack of the flu. We sincere
Iv hone thew will soon recover
