SHIPBUILDERS AND LACYS TURN
PARN OVER TO THE GEESE.
BV D. H, Vinet,

jacksonville, Sept. 16.-The high
water was the cause of last Sun
days game being postponed. The
park was transformed into a lake
and the geese took possession. The
geese seemed to be more at home on
the diamond than many of the ball
players that participated in some of
the games this season.
Manager Merritt announces that
he has secured game with the lead
ers of ne Behrman League of New
Orleans. The team is made up of
the best material in the league that
they represent, and should play a
corking good game of ball.
The game Will be called at 2:15
p. m, Sunday, Sept. q.

NOTES ABOUT THE FAIR.

The Parish Fair catalogue will be
ready for distribution the latter par!
of next week.
Some of the new departments OF
the premium list will be: A Better
Babies Show, Old Fiddlers' Contest
School Athletics, prize for the larg-
est family At the fair, prize for the
six best snapshots of fair scenes,
fall garden exhibit, dairy demonstra-
tlon, tractor and machinery demon
stration, combination horse calss,
saddle and harness combined, and an
old mule race, horse racing contest,
open to boys and girls and ladies.
Prizes will be offered also for the
following new entries, not in last
years catalogue: Best six eggs,
best so" and litter of pigs, best mare
with cot at side, Guinea pigs, Guinae
fowls, bicycle races, slick-haired
goats.
MANY new premiums have been
added tc the agricultural products
division, so that now practically
everything is included under the fol-
lowing classes: Corn, cotton, for
age crops, cane, syrup, sorghum and
small grains, fruits and nuts, vege-
tables, and miscellaneous, including
canned goods, honey, ham, bacon,
lard, 0utter, wine, vinegar, etc.
There is not one change in the Wo-
mems Department from the 1918
catalogue, except as to the chairmen.
we have a number of these on hand
and If any lady wants to see the list
the Sc e;retary-manager will gladly
forward a copy upon receipt OF re-
quest.
One important change in the rules
OK the agricultural department has
oeen made to stimulate more people
10 exhibit Many are inclined to feel
tnat there is no need for them to
exhibit because some one else will
win the prizes by having better pro-
ducts. The old rule allowed one
man to win first, second and third
prize in any premium offered. He
could enter three samples Of any one
product. The new rule prevents this.
NOW, If Bill Jones has the best corn
IN the parish, jim Brown and Sam
Green do not need to be buffer out,
because under the new rule they can
take second and third prize, and Bill
Jones can't take all three prizes Of
Tered for corn.
This should encourage every one
10 make an exhibit. No entry fee is
charged for agricultural products.

PATTER.
He knew that she would thank him
not,
And he minded not her scorn;
He offered her his picture show seat
To keep her off his corn.

One DAY the boss caught me loaf
ing and he told me that / needed a
vacation. l took his advice and went
far out in the country. l applied
for a room at an old farmers place.
They gave me nice little room. 1t
was one of those rooms that in order
to tell which was the ceiling and
which was the floor you had to look
for the place where the wall paper
was. My head was so close to the
ceiling in less than two days my
head was full of ceiling wax. l had
some bed, yes, SOME bed! The
bed gave way and the floor received
me. The next morning the landlady
said to me, did you have the bed
spread cover you last night? I said,
not at first, l didn't. At first l had
the bel spread over me, when L
tried to crawl out the bed spread
over me. | had so much of. the
bed spread cover me | couldn't get
up without help. The first night l
said as usual, now lay me down to
Sleep" but the next night / knew
better.
The only cool things on that farm
were cucumber and a picture of
George Washington crossing the Del
aware. Hot evenings we used to go
in and watch George juggle the ice,
just to see if it would make US feel
cooler. We never saw piece of
ice on the farm, and hot nights we
used to have to sit up and fan the
milk to keep it from souring before
morning. One of the boarders cut
the picture of piece of ice out OF
the newspaper and put it under the
butter, but he couldn't save it. In
less than ten seconds a pound Of
butter would spread out on the
platter.
AS for breakfast, we had "Mulli-
gan" Were you ever up against
Mulligan It's on the order Of hash,
but more accumulative. In hash you
know they draw the line, but in
Mulligan they throw the line in and
cook it too. It's made out of what
ever they have the most Of. Any
thing you miss in it has been left
out because it hasn't been left over.
You eat it with suspicion and digest
it with regret. Then for supper we
always had those hot little tea bis.
cults. You know those hot little tea
biscuits burned on the bottom and
soggy inside. Dough buttons, that's
what / call them. | won fifteen Of
those at one sitting I got the
whole stack down as far as the sec
ond rib and there it fell to the floor.
You could get them down as far as

ITEMS OF INTEREST AT JAHNCKE
SHIPYARDS in MADISONVILLE
BY D. H. Vinet.

the second rib if you creased them
good, but there my fifteen stuck, and
refused to proceed. l felt like one
Of those signs in front Of a clothing
store, when clothing was buyable.
You know when / mean-in the
good old days when a working man
was supposed to wear Woolen goods.
L felt like one of those signs in front
OF the Wooten mills store: Fifteen,
nohlgher, no lower, no more, no
less"
Well, l became so disgusted with
farm lie that l left the next morn
| ing (before the landlady got up).
| was happy. l rushed into the din
ing car and said. waiter, where can
l wash myself? He said, all over,
for all care. l said, waiter, that
will do for you, bring me couple of
boiled eggs, and don't get fresh.
And he didn't, either. l had to send
them back. l said, now bring me
an order of steak. There was a man
sitting in the corner and he called
the waiter and said, waiter, take this
steak out at the next station and let
the traiu run over it will you? And
after the train had run over 1t the
steak stuck on the hind wheels of
the last car. A dog saw the steak
on the wheel and chased it for over
five miles. And it was the best race
for small steak that l ever saw.
Then the walters got to throwing
dice. After the head waiter had
thrown three skies and broke all the
other walters, one of them threw a
tray AMI broke the car window.
Mandeville-so many people go in
bathing there they haven't got room
to kick. Can you imagine a place
where there is no kicking? Mande-
Vile is lot the place for a preachers
son. They don't open with prayer
and close with hymn. Vaudeville
is one of the best place to study
arithmetic. You can learn more
there about figures in one day than
you can in osme Of the best schools
ina months time. There is a great
rivalry between Vaudeville and the
Gulf Coast. The Gulf Coast people
say that Vaudeville hasn't got any
thing on them. The Vaudeville peo-
pie claim that the Gulf Coast people
ahsn't anything ON them. When |
saw them they didn't either one
have much ON.
While / was strolling along the
beach al Vaudeville, l went into
restaurant to get lunch. When the
waitress came for my order l said,
How is the chicknn today? She said,
first rate, how are you? l said, do
you serve steWs here? She said, ont
but We can make an excep-
tion in your case. said, you may
bring me some OK tail soup. She
said, that's going a long ways back
for soup. When she brought it in
she said, how it it? / said, bully.
said, want spoon. She said,
wait till l get off and We can go out
On the beach.
1t was while was in Vaudeville
that l saw a funny sign. It read,
Barber shop closed during altera-
lions. Customers will be served in
.he back" When / walked inside
of the place, / discovered that all
he BARRIERS were married men. One
If them was holding a baby in his
ap feeding it from a bottle. When

md said, "You are next" I said,

While he was shaving me he told me

with cuts.

1 met an old friend of mine that
l hadn't seen for severa lyears. We
were school boys together. 1t cer-
tainly was pleasure to talk of old
times. / remember when we used
to go out in the fields and see the
grasshoppers make grass, and see
the butterflies making butter, and
see the caterpillars making cats and
watch the bumblebees make buns
He said, don't you remember when
you used to come by the old village
blacksmith shop and watch me shoe
the uies? | said, yes, don't you
remember when we used to go out
and make mud pies and you used to
eat them? He said, l remember
when we went to school the boys
used to call you big head. One day
you went to the teacher crying and
tol dher about it and she said, |
wouldn't mind that, Dan, there is
nothing to it.
My friend and / walked down the
street leisurely when the fire bell
rang. People ran helter skelter in
all directions. The fire engine came
tearing down the street. Only a.
short distance away We saw large
building in flames. We rushed to
the spot. l heard scream. / look
ed up and saw standing in the win
dow young girl Wringing her
hands snd begging to be saved.
Every avenue Of escape was gone.
l was dumbfounded and stared. My
friend stared. That made a pair of
stairers. The girl walked down the
stairs safely and went about her
way.

also play music for the dance
at the Riverside Pavilion to-
night.
The strong east wind and high
tide of last Saturday flooded the
main entrance to the shipyard, and
the water ran down the street half
way the block. The section known
as Skeeterville was entirely under
water, which Cocoanut Grove in the
rear of the shipyard suffered a like
fate. The bride near the town, over
which one must go to reach Coving-
ton, was covered by over two feet of
water. The baseball park was trans
formed into a swimming park by
water from the swamp in the rear.
You could step from the home plate
into the water and circumnavigate
the park. Flocks of geese were
swimming around the bases and a
good many made home runs. Pos
sibly they left some goose eggs for
the next game.
With high winds and high tide in
their favor the geese took possession
of the park and kept it, thus COM
pelling the Shipbuilders and Lacy's
to postpone their game pending
decision of the weather man. In
addition to the geese attraction at
the park, the public passed the day
enjoying sail boat racing, skiff rae
ing, wading races, etc., in the sub
merged districts, and other pro-
miscuous sport that suited the novel
ty of the occasion. The water was
higher than at any time since the
storm of 1915. The only
damage sustained was the loss of
gate receipts at the ball park.
