St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1919-01-11

| A rather amusing little incident
occurred last Sunday evening, at the
expense Of Mr.. bill" Cuney, the
beau brummel of Warehouse No. 20.
Mr.. Quincy stepped out of the pic
ture show all dolled up in his Sun
day-go-to-meetings," and proceeded
to apply his seIf-starter to his
"Hunk-a-tin," but to no avail. Be-
EeVing the poor thing was cod he
proceeded to get his tow line into
action, and was towed around the
residential section Of Covington by
brother Ford, which was more for
tunate. However, the result was
fruitless, as the Ford refused to
start, and, upon closer examination,
: it was discovered that the gasoline
tank was empty.
We would not commit ourselves.
However, We will infer that Mr..
Cuny, having heard that Ford
could run ON it's reputation, decided
to test this theory, as he laughed at
Mr.. Richard some time back, when
Mr.. Richard tried to run his Hud-
son on its reputation, but without
success, and said that he could do
that with his car.
This ought to be a lesson to Mr..
Cuny-that even if a Ford can be
taught to "rock a baby" and other
numerous things, it must have gaso-
line in order to run.
We are glad to see Mr.. w. r. Pat
terson, former employee Of this COM
pany, back with US again as travel
ing auditor.
Joe Cardone has t 1ean on the
job for the past few days, due to
the fact that Mrs. Cardone and
daughter are III with he flu. We
sincerely hope that they VIII soon
recover.
We are very glad to learn tia Mr.
and Mrs. Stanford Behrens are ON
the road to recovery, after an attack
of the flu.
Other victims OF the flu are Mr..
and MIS-. Jack Walters, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Cardone, Jr., and Mr.. ArnoI1
koepp. We hope that they Will oe
Well again soon.
Road conditions are getting worse
and worse all the 'tinfe. We hope
that the police jury will speedily live
up to their promise to The voters OF
this parish and begin work on the
roads as soon as possible. Much
more delay means a great hampering
Of traffic in and out Of Madisonyllle.
We are informed that the parish
OF st. Tammany owns several mu4es
AS we have not seen them in tais
part of the parish for some time we
would like to know what they are
doing. 1t seems useless that the par
ish should go to the expense of keep
ing up these mules II they aren't go
ing to derive some benefit from them.
We hope the police jury will be k'nd
enough to give US some light on this
subject In the near future.
