-FOUR FIRES One DAY
ESTABLISHES RECORD
FOR MEDINA MONDAY

For the first time in the history Of
the local fire department, Medina ex-
perienced four fires within "a hours.
These occurred last Monday and the
fire boys were kept busy answering
calls. It is source, Of much gratifi-
cation to realize that Medina possess
es one Of the finest fire fighting org
anizations Of any town in the state.
The, fire bell summoned the firemen
to the Farmers Exchange about I
o'clock Monday morning where Ford
car garaged in the company's ware
house on the opposite side of the street
was burning. It was run out into the
open and water played upon the blaz-
ing mass but it was too badly damag-
ed to be Of further service. An in
surance of $3.50 was carried.
The interior of the garage was bad
ly burned but four barrels of oil were
untouched by the flames. The tank
in the car contained several gallons
Of gasoline which is still there. The
tires were unharmed.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
The Ford was run into the garage
about 6 o'clock Sunday evening and
no fire was apparent until early
Monday morning. Had the -firemen
been delayed in reaching the scene, the
warehouse, containing several farm
implements would have been destroy
ed.
The Farmers Exchange suffered a
disastrous fire about four years ago.
Dana Whipple reported the fire Of
Monday having noted the blaze in
passing. Deputy AL Hange led to safe
ty a horse which was stabbed in the
building.
Crossed wires from which the insu-
lation had been worn caused a small
fire Monday afternoon at two o'clock
in the Bishop building on N. Court
street.
Mrs. Abe Sherman who lives on the
upper floor discovered smoke in the
building upon her return home and
notified her husband. He found the
troublesome wires in the attic and
threw water upon one of the beams
which had caught fire.
The firemen made quick run but
were turned back, their services being
unnecessary.
Exactly one hour after the fire in
the Bishop building, the alarm again
sounded and the boys rushed out to
Fred Churchman'S farm south of town
where the roof Of the house was found
ablaze from some unknown cause. The
firemen dropped one end of the hose
into a concrete water tank in neigh
bors farm and soon had the fire out.
Had they not gone to the scene Of the
fire the house could not have been
saved. The. shed and porch and a
part Of the roof were badly damaged.
The next fire was at the home Of
Ray Loomis on E. Smith Road which
occurred sometime during Monday
night. The fire was in Loomis'
chicken house and resulted in dam
age of about $4O0. More than 400
White Leghorn chicks were destroyed.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

Through the efforts Of the Kiwanis

VETERAN NEWSPAPER MAN
PASSES AWAY.

Alter few weeks illness Mr.. Fl.
4. Goodwin, for forty-eight years
editor of the Colfax (La.l Chronicle.
died in that city November 7, 1920.
HIS death eWill be loss sorely felt
IN his community. In politics he
was a consistent Democrat, and as 4
citizen the purity of his life and his
fidelity to his convictions gave him
a value that was highly estimated
and appreciated. He was a Mason,
founder of the Methodist Sunday
School Of Colfax, charter member
Eof the Methodist Church OF that
place and a charter member of the
Methodist Episcopal annual confer
ence. Interested in public affairs
and devoted to his editorial work,
he was active in civic matters up to
the time of his illness. His refusal
to retire from active work at al
earlier date probably lessened his
chances of combating the diseas9
that overcame him.
Mr.. GoodWyn was 70 years of age,
and had a family of ten children, all
of WheM are living One of them,
Mr. H, K. Goodwin, is foreman of
The st. Tammany Farmer and left
his duties here to attend the funeral
Of his father, which took place Mon
day afternoon.
Besides his ten children Mr. Good
Wyn is survived by his widow, who
was before her marriage Mss Luella
D. Lewis.
faterment was made at the Colfax
Cemetery with Masoni chonors.

NOTICE TO HUNTERS.

We, the undersigned Conservation
Agents (Game Wardens) give notice
that the sale of game, other than
squirrel and rabbits, is prohibited by
law.
We propose to enforce this law
rigidly and without fear Or favor.
We have full authority from the
State to search for game at any time
or place and to make arrests of all
violators. We propose to do this to
the letter.
The open season for quail begins
November 5th.
We understand in previous years
quail have been bought and sold ex-
tensively in this parish. We use
this means of serving notice on the
public that we shall enforce this law,
SO there can be no excuse for any
one.
Persons buying game, the sale of
which is prohibited, are as guilty as
those selling same. We propose to
watch just as closely the buyer as
the seller.
The bag limit on quail Is fifteen
per day per person. Hunters can
expect to have their bags searched
after a days hunt at any time

$4,000 Needed to Cover
Amount of Bids as
They Now Stand.
MORGAN PLANS
TO RAISE SUM
Can We Afford To Lose
Federal Aid By Fur
ther Delay?

At the meeting of the Police Jury
Tuesday, considerable interest was
manifested in anticipated action il
the matter of road building Some
Of the contractors were present Us
well as members of the Road Com
mission. While discussion brought
out some of the matters most i'm
portantly affecting the awarding OF
contracts and the carrying out of the
road program, no definite action was
taken and the meeting adjourned %
the 18th in order to get further In
formation from Mr.. Buie as to his
attitude in the matter.
The question as to whether it was
best to award the contracts on the
bids as they stand or to risk getting
federal aid out of the 1921 funds
was somewhat shaken up by the
statement that there were not funds
enough to carry out these contracts
by about $4,000. 1t is said that
Mr. Morgan has plan by which this
$4,000 can be raised by the Police
Jury without interfering with the
budget. 1t was stated that Mr.. Buie
would not wait longer and asked that
the contracts be Immediately award
ed. Otherwise he would be compell-
to drop federal aid from the 1920
fund. It was suggested that this did
not prevent us from getting federal
aid from the fund of 1921, but there
was no assurance that Mr.. Ruie
would carry out the same agreement
entered into for 1920, and there was
possibility of losing $221,O00.00
thereby.
The salary paid Engineer Hucka-
by was discussed and some contend
ed that he was being paid too highly
for his services. This discussion
was brought up by the announce
ment that Mr.. Huckabys salary had
been increased from $40O to $3.50
per month. In explanation, Mr..
Grant Of the Road Commission ex-
planned that the agreement with Mr..
Huckaby was to start in with $3.50
per month and to increase the salary
500 per month every six months un-
til 5000 a month had been reached.
Hence Mr.. Huckaby would ultimately
receive $500 month He said the
Commission had the privilege of corr
ducting it's Office affairs, and belie,.
ed that in Mr.. Huckaby they had a
man who would save them far in
excess OF any increase in the salary
under the agreement. That if the
Polfee jury were dissatisfied with
the action of the Commission, the
Commission would not have any hard
feelings and would gladly consent to
have them take over the duties of
the Commission. There seemed to
be no inclination on the part of the
Police Jury to do this, however, and
the commission was sustained.

An enthusiastic meeting of the St.
Tammany Game & Fish Protective
Asso sociation was held at the court
house Monday night, Nov. 6th, being
it's regular monthly meeting, and
much interest was shown by the

forcement of this law.
The restocking of our streams

THE RED CROSS IN PEACE

Some people seem to think
that as the war is over the Red
Cross is out of a job. This is
not true. When we cease to
care for the welfare of the child
ren of the p or. When we look
upon the helpless sick without
emotion or thought. When we
are ready to let the soldier with
out means get what he has a
right to if he can and do with
out if he can't. When we are
ready to let child mothers and
Dabies wreck their future in ig-
norance OF the help we can give.
When we are willing to do with
out all these helps to the help
less rather than contribute a
dollar, if we are able to give
that dollar, then truly the Red
Cross of peace will be done.
BUT NOT UNTIL THEN.
Look at it in this way. Then
YOU will give your dollar with
pleasure, and the Red Cross
will live.
