Fire Chief H. J. Ostendorf, re-
Gently resigned, has been an enthusi-
asst In the development of this service
in Eovington. He Joined Jefferson
Fire Company in 1906. when there
was considerable rivalry among the
several companies. This company
was then in the bucket brigade and
mary battles were fought in which
courage and physical endurance
were tested in the extreme. He was
pipeman the first year and then was
made foreman. In 1909 he was
elected chief of the department,
which consisted Of three companies,
Hook and Ladder No. /, Chemical
No. and Jefferson No. /.
IA the struggle for advancement
of fhe department a small gasoline
eng4ne replaced the hand pump, do
ing away with the difficulty of keep
ing mon at the laborious work of
pumping. The funds for this pur-
chose we're raised by donations.
The entertainment of the State
FirAmens Convention in 1910 was
an undertaking that required con-
sidera BILE engineering and hustle,
and: the Chief was strictly in it.
There were special trains from New
Orleans, Baton Rouge and Plaque
mipse, and the town was crowded
with visitors. The convention was
a success.
Among his special efforts was the
securing of an appropriation of $1,000
a year from the town under the DR..
Matrerro administration. Also in
duced the town to buy Waterous
engine end 1000 feet Of 2 IL inch
hose. in 1916 he secured donations
for motor for the chemical engine
and hose to speed UP service and
reash fires earlier.
In 1917 he secured the co-opera-
tive aid of the Covington Bank 4
Tru,s Company, Mr.. Louis Wehrli
and: Mr.. Emile Frederick, in which
they donated $251.65 to build an
underground well, with a capacity of
10000 gallons, and later secured do
nations for the purchase of Ford
chassis.
he was sent to Bogalusa at the
recent convention to represent Gov
ingson.
At Il recent fire Chief Ostendorf
injured his leg in jumping from a
truck or platform. The wound be-
came infected and he was laid up
for several weeks. 1t was following
this incident that he resigned, his
time being fully occupied at his
business.

NEW TROOP OF
SCOUTS, CAMP

Scoutmaster B. D Fowler wrote
from New Orleans, after,w had gone
to press last week, tEat Boy Scout
Troops 54 and 81 would be in Gov
ington Sunday and woald pitch tent
at Camp Cudlippe, Sulphur Springs,
and would remain two weeks. He
said that several baseball games
would be played between the Coving-
ton and New Orleans Scouts.
Scoutmaster Fowler expects his
troops to enjoy their stay here just
as muclF as the other troops did, and
he see,ns just as delighted with Cow
ington. He was visited by Mayor
.Badon and DR.. Stevenson and gave
them a warm welcome. Both the
Mayor and the Doctor are, much in
terested in the Scouts and do what
they can to make their visit pleas
ant one. The Scouts will be taken
through the st. Tammany Ice Com
pany and the Mackie Pine Product
plant to-day.
The Scouts have been enjoying the
swimming at the camp, which is
right on the river Quite a number
of visitors are also taking advantage
of the fine bathing there.

GESTS REMEDIES FOR THE

Fayors Provisions Contained in the
Kenyon Bill.

Herbert C. Hoover, in a letter
dated September IL, 1913, and aa-
dressed 10 the President OF the
United States, made the following
statements abe ut the bis meat pack
ers. Mr.. Hoooer's letter has direct
bearing upon the high cost Of living
and the KeEyon Bill how before
Congress. No one has accused Mr..
Hoover If being hostile to Dig bus1-
ness, or partisan.
Dear Mr.. President:
In response to your request, Leg
to set cut nv observations on the
recomm andations of the Federal
Trade Commission, with regard t.
the five large packing firms.
scarcely need to repeat the views
that I expressed to you nearly a year
ago, that there is here 4 GROWN 3
and dangerous domination of the
handling of the Nations fcodstutfs.
The prov ision Of a larger part of the
stockyaeds, ane car services, has
naturally fallen in considerable de-
gree to the larger and more wealthy
packer who have used their adyant-
ages, as in effect a special and large
ly exclusive railway priJilege Win
which 10 build UP Their own busi-
ness.
Through this practical railway
privilege, the numerous branch es-
tablishments the elimination of
wholesale Intermediates, and with
large banking alliances, this group
have found themselves in position
not only to dominate the distribution
of interstate animal products. but
to successfully invade other lines Of
food anu other commodity prepara-
ton and distribution They
now vead scores of diffecen. articles,
and this constantly increasing list
now approaches a dominating pro-
portion of the Interstate business in
several different food lines
These bIsinessse have been eco
nomicaiiy efficient in Their period If
competitive urgroWth, but, as time
goes on this efficiency cannot fail
to diminish and, like all moanpoiias,
begin to defend itself ny repression
rather than hv efficiency. The worst
special result of this whole growth in
domina4ion OF trades is tie under

IN
GOOD HEALTH
SAYS BOARD

The Covington Board of Health
reports the town comparatively free
from infectious diseases, and that
unsanita1y conditions are being
gladly corrected as soon as attention
of the occupants of the premises is
directed thereto. The board is thus
encouraged to feel that if every
househ older is made aware of the
law ami the necessity for sanitation
that it will be simple matter to
make Covington 100 per cent sani-
tary.
First-It should be known that
state laws prohibit the throwing of
trash, cans, bottles, etc, about the
premises, on the sidewalks and in
the dit hes, and that a police jury
ordinance prohibits the dumping Of
trash or dead animals within sight
of the public roads. =,
Second-That foods Offered for
sale should be protected against con-
tamina ion by flies and filth, and that
foods and fruits that are ordinarily
eaten without peefing them, as
grapes and apples, must be protect
ed against flies and dust.
Third-That reports of the health
fulness of our parish reach every
state, end that every citizen is ex-
pected t. do his or her part in main
tanning cur reputed healthfulness by
keeling his or her premises sanitary,
By draining or oiling stagnant pools,
tin cans, cisterns and hollow trees,
by removing manure every ten days,
by insisting that every house or busi-
ness place not connected with
sewer system should have a sanitary
privy, which is merely a screened
tub, and that it must be regularly
emptied; by destroying decayed
wood and rubbish; by making lib
eral use of screens, fly sWats, traps
and insecticides, and by encouraging
general cleanliness.
Manure and matter from privies
can easily be disposed of and used
to advantage by working the manure
into the garden soil, and by burying
the fecal matter 100 feet from the
nearest we'll under three or four
inches Of dry earth (not deeper).
Harmless atmospheric bacteria will
pounce Upon it and quickly convert
it into harmless fertilizer If buried
deep and under water, the action of
the useful bacteria is hindered.

PATsTER.

l went sightseeing in New Orleans.
There was something to see there
besides closed saloons; the homes OF
the wealthy is something that makes
you sit up and take notice. The
wealth is confined to what is known
as the Avenue Circle. Yes, I guess
it is safe to say that there is more
wealth to be found in this small
area than in any other part of the
world for it's size. The little blades
of grass have greenbacks, the birds
have bills, the pianos have notes,
the chimneys have a draft, but With
all that, the people have to get away
once in while for a little change.
When our guide pointed out the
Lee monument, a lady wanted to
know il ne was the man that dis
covered the Mississippi river. When
we passed the city hall another lady
wanted to know what room the
Mayor lived in. When the guide
called oar attention to the fertilizer
works another lady spoke up and
wanted to know what they did with
fertilizer. Tie guide said, we ship

MIR. AND MRS. MALLOY SURPRTS.
ED IN FRIENDS ON WOOD
EN- ANNIVERSARY.

Mr.. Ed. T. Malloy, superintendent
of the 1ahnake Shipyards, was very
much surprised on the occasion OF
1919. A procession of automobiles
headed by Commodore Ernest Lee
Jahncke left Madisonville, loaded
with admiring friends, for the NAL
10y residence in CoVington to make
the occasion enjoyable and the sur
prise complete. The automobile
conveying Commodore Jahncke and
friends left here footing and it was
toot, toot, toot all the way to Gov
ington, ana some more footing when
they arrived there. Mr.. and Mrs.
Malloy lost no time taking in the
situation; they saw at once that they
were up against a surprise party OF
huge dimensions, and Immediately
prepared to capitulate. Upon count
ing noses it was found that party
of 200 ladies and gentlemen We're
present, with music, and other ac-
cessories to enilven the occasion,
l an sure every person present
enjoyed themselves and are anxious
to know when the like of which will
happen again.
Resumiug their pleasure the fol-
lowing day, a picnic from Madison
vile to East Point on Lake Pont-
chartrain was given. A big barge
covered with canvass. towed by the
gasoline launch Henpeco, was used
to carry the picnicers to the pleasure
hof two nth
enjoyments were indulged in. One
party left in the early forenoon and
another al noon.

DOINGS OF THE GOOD ROADS
COMMISSION.

Last week we announced that the
Road Commission would repair the
Lee Road last week. That was the
program, but circumstances made it
necessary to follow up the work on
the Abita Road, from there to Tall
sheek, on to Sun and back on the
Columbia Road. This we understand
is now IN progress, but We make no
positive statement.
1t is also reported that the Gov
ernment has allotted two trucks to be
used in road construction by the
Commission, but it is not known
when tney will reach here.
Secretary Frank Comfort gives out
the following information:
The Good Roads Commission is
now making the surveys on the Cow
ington-Slidell, Slidell-Pearl River
roads, preparatory to getting up
plans and estimates for Federal Aid
Work The surveys are being tenn
porarily held up due to the shortage
Of surveying instruments and ex-
perienccd helpers.
The Commission has been search
ing everywhere in an effort to locate
more surveying instruments, but due
to the shortage which was created
during the war and prolonged due
to the fact that the Government has
never released the factories there are
very few instruments to be had at
this time. 1t is hoped that in the
near future this condition will be
relieved and that the work can be
carried on more rapidly and to bet
ter advantage.
