The most noticeable thing is the fact that the working man is not coming across in this drive said Chairman Barnett last night. He is directly the beneficiary. In case of misfortune or ill., ness he is the one Q benefit from the proceeds of this drive which will go to the local charities. The rich man, or the man in comfortable circumstances is able to send his loved ones to the hos pital, or away, in case they are ill., and he hopes to gain nothing from this cam paign only the joy of giving.

"Immediately the armistice was

studies to determine when the strict

able the direction of affairs to be re-

armistice was signed, summoned a
conference there of the heads of all

to canvass the situation. After con-
sidering all the factors it was con-

of DIR. Livingston Farrand as the new

RAILROAD MEN
PAY VISIT

r. X. Smith, general manager; M.
]. Mcmahon, traffic manager; F. E.
laaton, general solicitor; w. S. Hen
ley, superintendent, all of the New
Orleans Great Northern Railroad,
were in Covington Wednesday look
ing over the road and it's business.
1t Suggested old times when these
gentlemen appeared in The Farmer
Office We might say jthe good old
times. In those days, their appear
ance meant that there was kick on
hand about something. Mentally,
we were ready to cuss them. But
now, it's the railroad we felt like
cussing. We wanted to say to them,
Take your railroad back and run 1t
TO suit yourselves. We've quit kick
ing" We had to quit.
But as far as the railroad sltua-
tion is concerned, these gentlemen
seemed as much in the dark as any
of us. Evidently they would like to
take the road back-but what about
finances? Congress has not provid-
ed for such a situation. And does
the Government want to give them
back right now?
Any how, these gentlemen seemed
glad to be in Covington again and
seemed pleased with prospects here.
No doubt when they do come into
possession again we will get our new
depot and effort will be made to
make things pleasant all around.
This war has taught us lot. We
have probably learned to give and
take. At least we've learned a lot
about railroads

DISCHARGINGOF
SHIPYARD MEN
WARNS AS TO
FUTURE
Five Hundred Are Dropped
at Slidell, Four Hundred
at Madisonville.
JAHNCKE YARD MAY
MAKE TANK SHIPS
Uncertainty AS To Future
of Shipbuilding Opera
tions Everywhere.

There is considerable speculation
as to the cause OF the discharge OF
about five hundred men at the sniL-
yards OF the Louisiana Company at
Slidell and 165 at the Jahncke Ship
yards, in Madisonville. 1t is re-
ported that about four hundred will
have been discharged at the Jahncke
yard by tonight.
1t cannot be learned just what the
cause of this discharge IS. 1t is laid
to lack of appropriation by Congress,
discontinuance of wooden ships or a
change in the model of ships to tank
ships. But SlidelI was building steel
ships, which seems to conflict with
this report The discharge at the
Jahncke yard, it is said, will amount
to about twenty per cent.
There does not seem to be, a prob
ability that shipbuilding will be dis
continued at either place. There
should be enough doing in private
contracts to keep both yards going,
but on a smaller scale.
There is an impression that home
labor will be given preference in the
discharge of men, where that labor
is qualified. This would be natural
and apparently just.
