GOOD ROADS
COMMISSION
NEWS

In view of the fact that the Com
mission has all surveys, plans, ETC.,
in readiness for the inspection of the
federal engineer, and are only wait
ing for him to come and look over
the work, they are planning to take
advantage of the time which might
otherwise be lost and advertise the
work on some other road, which un-
der the federal aid rulings would
not be eligible to draw federal aid.
This is believed to be expedient for
it is very improbable that federal
aid can be had on all roads in this
parish, and for that reason there
would not be anything gained in de-
laying the work on these roads where
it could now be taken up at any time.
Contractors Houlton C Johnston
have moved onto their job, the Turn
pike Road, and have taken up the
clearing of the right Of way prepare
tory to grading.

ASSOCIATIONOF
COMMERCE IN
GOODWORK

The Covington Associa ton of Com
merce invited, met and escorted
Major Dent and an assistant en-
gineer, both from the U. 5. District
Engineers Office, New Orleans, TAX.
ing them in a gasoline launch down
the Bogue Falaya, Tchefuncta and
over the lake to Vaudeville Sound
ings were taken which proved to the
engineers the need of dredging ouf
rivers to accommodate the amount
of traffic which the Associations rep
resentatives assured these gentle
men would follow the deepening
of these streams. When the water
is high, freight tonnage by water to
Covington exceeds that by rail.
Mr.. NJ. c. Huckabg, chairman Of
the Transportation Bureau, and Mr.
Karl Treen, secretary, made the trip
with these engineers, who explained
that their only dredge in the vicinity
was temporarily OIL Of order, ana
that while they had asked for an ap-
preparation sufficient to hire tho
dredging of these streams, it wouli
not be available before June. AL
though we were assured of work be-
ginning as soon as the dredge is re-
modelled and not later than June, the
Association believes that another
plan can be used to get this work
done earlier. 1t will try.
The Association invites merchants,
wood shippers, farmers or any one
who has freight or express receipts
on hand, or collection of them,
even for several years back, to bring
them to the Associations office. They
will be sent to an auditing concern
which will reclaim any over-charge
that might have been made. The
collectors charge one-third of the
amount recovered FOR their service,
and the Association will turn over to
the patrons the other .wo-thirds re-
covered. 1t is a proven fact that
the charges on freight and express
amounts to a considera BILE item in
the course of a year with a person
or concern that does much shipping
or receiving of freight.
On December 18th conference
was held in Alexandria with dele
gates from organizations interested
in good roads in the different part"
of the state. This section had not
been invited until the local Associa-
ton of Commerce called this to the
attention of the leaders in this move
ment, Whereupon we were invited to
send a delegate representing the Sill
dell Civic and Progressive League,
the Covington Association of Com
merce and the Parish Good Roads
Commission and our link of the
National Mississippi Valley High
way. Mr.. Huckaby was chosen.
This meeting is to formulate some
measures to be enacted by the next
Legislature, which will no doubt BE-
governed largely by these recommen-
dations, therefore the Association III
session Tuesday decided that it Was
of enough importance 20 justify the
expense of a delegate, which expense
is being shared equally by the Sill
dell League.

teach us something of the lesson Of
the Holy Chiid's life.
If we could learn from Christmas,
today and in the succeeding years the
serious lessons of self-betterment and
ennoblement it has to offer, how in
finitely better 1t would be than just
to look on it as holiday for gifts and
feasts, for extravaganza and foolish
ness.
So take an hour or two off on
Christmas day and give 1t up to retro
spective and self-inspectfon. You will
each find faults, if you Judge yourself
impartially, for no one is perfect. Then
make a serious determination to try
to overcome those faults, for only try
ing to improve is there any growth In
character. If you are satisfied with
yourself you stay just as you are with
all your faults and virtues. But Ii
you try hard to remedy the faults your
character is constantly growing broad
er. This is the lesson which Christ
mas day has for each Of you.

was a fat failure. At Slidell, Mr..
Liddle says that a count showed
twelve men to be present, including
the speakers and four from Covins-
ton. The hall was cold, the day was
cold, and the reception was cold.
Nobody will doubt where Slidell

At Folsom there was no speok1nS,

At Madisonville. Mr.. Geo. Wilson
counted those present and reported
that there were sixteen men present,
six being on the platform, and seven
ty or seventy-five women and child
rem.
The meeting at the courthouse in
Covington, Wednesday evening, was
more comfortable. The seating ga
pacity of the courtroom, including
iury boxes, side seats, judges anu
clerks seats, is 148. Some chairs
were placed in the aisles in antlclpa-
ton of the rush. But it cidn't hap
pen. There were ninety-two men
and eight or ten women, according
to count made by Mr.. Planche.
Some did not take seats but remain

of those present were Parker meh-
Harry Bourgeois, Eddy Smith, w. K.
Smith. Geo. Smith, John David, Zacn
Sharp, Jr., and Mr.. Thibodeaux came
I'D from Vaudeville to attend the
meeting.
Governor Hall and Mr.. Jas. Will
kinson spoke and both were listened
to without interruption. Phere was
some applause, coming pretty muca
from the same source all the time.
but the meeting did not have the
vim of success.
Goyeronr Halls talk was~a1ong the
usual line of Parker democracy ana
Parker changeableness. The refrain
OF the song that has become as stale
and tiresome as the Pleasant-Dock
Board incident, and Mr.. Wilkinson
gave nothing that could move the
confidence the people have in Parker.
But Governor Hall said one thing
that made the people proud OF MI.
Parker. He said that Mr.. Parker
had elected him, made him governor
of Louisiana, taken him up to Baton
Rouge and then dropped him, in
ferring that if he had not~ dropped
him he might have made his admins
tration success. We have heard
some comment on the street to the
effect that if Mr.. Parker could have
made Governor Halls administrator
success, then he's the man for the
lob now. because what we want is
successful government.

A CHRISTMAS WALK

In Wivery softness the anthem closed
Like slowly silenced bell;
The sacred calm of peace divine
Like benediction fell;
And out on the morning light that spread
A slimmer of amber gray,
walked with Margery home from church
On an old. old Christmas Day.
A bland, mild day-for the rugged month
Had chosen kindly mood,
Like q wonderful mellow aftermath
From the AutuMn's plenitude.
With scarcely tang Of wholesome cold
Did the Winters breezes blow,
AS Margery walked from church with me
On a Christmas long ago.
The earnest words that had touched our
The warnings, kindly and wise
Had left shadow of tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes:
The merry, hoydenish maid I'd known
For a twelvemonth's flying space,
Had taken on that old Christmas Day.
A new and womanly grace.
As through the tremulous opal clouds
That shifted and swayed apart,
A sun ray lighted the rosy face.
The wish was born in my heart
That down the trail of the unspent years,
Whatever their trend might be.
The soft-eyed maiden beside me then,
Might walk to the end with me.
Absently watching the velvet fakes
BY the white gale set a-wing,
I breathe the spirit Of other years
While the bells Of Yuletide ring;
And near me, smiling with happy eyes
At our children's romping play,
In the girl who walked from church with
me
On that old, sweet Christmas Day.
