Chairmen of Committees
Appointed to Garry
Out the Work.
BIGGER OPPORTUNITY
THAN EVER BEFORE
President Warner Full Of
Pep In Anticipation Of
Seasons Prospects.

There was meeting of the Parish
Fair Association, Thursday after.
noon, and committees were appointed
and arrangements made for pushing
work on the coming fair. 1t is in-
tended this year to give the farmers
an early catalogue so that they may
be prepared in advance for the COM
petition for prizes. There will be
some nice ones. AS there are some
details that can not be anticipated,
a preliminary catalogue will be issu-
ed in May and the completed cara
logue little later.
There has been an improvement
in farm operations and in stock rails
ing. Considerable new stock of high
grade has been introduced ON the
farms and the Houltons have be IN
very liberal in giving breeders an
opportunity to put new blood in their
breeds. The demand for farm pro-
ducts has induced the farmer, as a
matter of self interest, to put into
practice the modern methods as to
seed and production. We should be
able to put on a fair this year that
will do st. Tammany proud.
President Warner is out for a
record-breaker, and we all know he
is hustler of no small calibre. The
women also are in the fight for great
er things. The educational depart
ment is expected to be more than in
teresting and the value of publicity,
as recognized to-day, should cause
a much larger merchants and deal
ers' display.
It should be realized that the Fair
Association of st. Tammany parish
has accomplished a wonderful thing
in business MANAGEMENT. There are
very few fairs that have been paying
propositions as an investment. Yet
to-day the stock in the St. Tammany
Parish Fair Association is worth
something. Another successful Ses-
son such as we had last year means
the proba bility of a dividend. In
fact, the certainty of a dividend, ua-
less it should be decided to use the
money in further improvements.

mittees were appointed: Executive,

Market Being Worked Up
That May Establish a
Permanent Business.
POTATO HOUSE
BIG SUCCESS
Many Bushels of Potatoes
Souhdly Kept to be Put
In Higher Market.

Secretary Karl Treen deserves
credit for the manner in which he
has handled the potato proposition
for the Association of Commerce.
Those who do not believe that
modern storage plant for potatoes is
profitable investment for the farm
er should visit the one in Covington
and inspect the bushels and bushes
of sound, bright potatoes that will
soon yield the profit that comes from
holding them until the market ia
right. The old building was pretty
much failure, not only because Of
defects in construction but because
the supervision was not up-to-date
in all particulars. Watchful care in
temperature and handling has much
to do with success.
Mr.. Treen has also been success
full in placing the first carload OF
syrup, made in st. Tammany parish,
on the market. While this move
ment is in its infancy, it is probable
this first carload shipment will be
followed by others and that the
ground has been broken for the in
PRODUCTION of a new and profitable
industry for St. Tammany parish.
No part of the state can produce bet
ter syrup at less expense than can
st. Tammany. 1t is simply ques-
ton Of market for a large produc-
ton. When this is established the
business will grow rapidly and many
farmers will gladly engage in the
growing of crop that can be de-
pended upon for cash.

ST. T AM NJ ANY
POULTRYASS'
MEETING

Wednesday evening Harley l..
Williams, State Government Poultr:y-
man, and Felix Bachemin, Jr., Par
ish Government Agent for this par
ish, met with the St. Tammany Poul-
try Associations officers and mem-
bers Wednesday evening at the Of
flee of the Association of Commerce.
Both gentlemen entertained the
Association in highly gratifying
manner, setting forth their govern
mental duties and outlining their
work for the coming year, in the in
terest of more and better poultry IN
this parish and the state at large.
These gentlemen are very interest
ing takers and thoroughly informed
in their respective duties, and when
the year is out the whole state will
be organized into poultry clubs
the farmers induced to obtain and
breed Eure blooded chickens, because
the eggs and meat bring far better
prices in the commercial market, to
say nothing of the fine prices the
eggs bring for Matching and the poul-
try for breeding pens"
Mr. Williams complimented the
members for bringing into existence
the Poultry Association, and Joined
it himself, as it's membership is not.
confined to this parish alone. The
parish agent will also be a member,
and thus the good work goes along.
The Association is in full swing
with a live bunch of breeders be-
hind it, and every farmer and citizen
of this parish is cordially invited to
enroll whether he breeds chickens Or
not; in fact, the Association believes
it is the duty of our citizens to join
and help boost the greatest industry
in the United State today, besides
assisting in placing st. Tammany on
the entire poultry map Of the worlo
as the banner parish in the state
and country. Those wishing to join
see Karl Treen, secretary of Associa-
ton of Commerce, or w. c. Morreil,
Jr., secretary of the Poultry Associa-
ton.
C. M. BROWN,
President.

ROAD COMMISSION RECEIVES
TWO BIG TRUCKS FROM
THE GOVERNMENT.

Two big Peerless trucks have been
received by the Road Commission
from the U. S. Government for use
on the. roads. These trucks are
3-ton capacity and will be valuable
in road construction. They are
worth nearly $4,000 apiece, requir-
ing in the neighborhood Of $500 re-
pairs and expense of transportation.
All repair parts are furnished by the
Government and the trucks will be
put in perfect working order by Mr..
R. H. Ferguson. They will be prac-
tically good as new.
A few months Of good weather will
see considerable work done on th :
roads, and as the graveled surface
of good roads winds through the
long stretches Of green carpeted
landscape, taxpayers will feel that
life is worth living, even il the dollar
has been changed into jingling parts
of smaller denomination. Already
the smile is broadening on the driv-
er's face. The few days of sun
shine have made it easier travelling,
while the sun has not been long
enough out to induce clouds Of dust
to choke back the euss words when
the earth rises up in front to meet
you or to bury you alive if you are
indiscreet enough to be in the rear.
Yes, good roads are wonderful
things. They cast rueful shadows
over your perspective when they ara
being built and overwhelm you with
a feeling of gratitude when they are
finished. One would almost shake
hands even with the engineer.

A Young Scout Seriously
Wousded Given First
Aid by Companions
TRIP BACK HERE
IN NIGHT TIME
Thos. Frederick, the Victim,
Now Resting Easy
At His Home,

Boy Scout training has it's human
interest. The shift of toll from
labor to interest, and from interest
to exciting experience is often the
difference between a slipping foot
and bed of pain, the rocking boat
and the upturned keel, the voice Of
laughter and the cry of pain. The
pleasure Of learning to do things that
distinguish the instructed from the
uninformed and that marks the
countenance with the superiority of
knowing how is an urge that keeps
the Boy Scout up to the tension of
accomplishment. He is usually
quick and alert in the performance
of deeds that reflect credit upon mis-
training and inspire admiration Of
his comrades, but it is not frequent
that an opportunity is afforded to
bring to the community a realiza
tion the true worthiness Of the Boy
Scout movement. The point in IL
lustration is the saving of the life
of Thomas Frederick, son of Mr..
Emile Frederick, of Covington.
A party of Boy Scouts, composed
of Lawrence and Hebert Frederick,
Lawrence Quave, Edison and Harol,l
Barringer and Thomas Frederick,
were starting for a hunt in the
swamp along the lake shore near
the mouth of Tchefuncta river, and
while sitting around a camp fire
waiting for a launch to come and
take them down the canal gun in
the hands of Lawrence Quave, who
was overhauling it, exploded. Tho4n-
as Frederick was shot. The charge
of shot entered the lower thigh above
the knee, passing between the bone
and an artery. Bleeding was spro-
fuse, and without the first aid and
emergency instruction the Boy Scout
receives, young Frederick must have
bled to death before physician
could be reached. A twisted hand
kerchief and stick saved the patient
from bleeding to death in a short
time. The boys then used a skiff
to reach the launch in which were
Messrs. Paul A. Blanchard and E. j.
uncle of Thomas. They
took him to Madisonville and then
on to Covington, where Or
Heintz administered antitoxin, re-
moved the shot from the wound and
dressed it. The accident occurred
at 8 O'Clock Monday evening. 1t
was 1920 o'clock when the party
reached Covington.
Young Frederick, who is about /.
years of age, is quite a stole and
refused to use an anaesthetic. go
ahead, Doc" he said, Il can stand
it," And he did, bravely. He now
wants to know how long he will have
to lie abed.

HONORED GUESTS AT THE NEW
SOUTHERN.

Captain and Mrs. G. M. Lester
were guests at the New Southern
Hotel in Covington, this week. Thev
are on their honeymoon. From mere
they will visit New Orleans, the
home of Mrs. Lester, who is the
daughter of Charles Janvier. AS
Miss Lois Janvier Mrs. Lester dis
tinguished herself in Red Cross WORK
both at home and abroad, being one
of the most beloved of the canteen
workers who won the regard OF the
soldiers at the front. On her return
home she had charge of the welfare
work with headquarters with ID. H.
Holmes Company, rendering very
valuable and efficient service. The
popularity of Mrs. Lester enjoyed in
society as a New Orleans girl was
not simply due to her simple AMI
charming manners but to the suo'
stantial characteristics that ! a.er
made her a valued assistant in WORK
at the front.
Captain Lester is pract1clng a.
torney and a college graduate AMI
earned his title in, the service, haV-
ing been stationed in Texas. While
his regiment did not go to the frolt
his services in preparing troops for
active work and his work generally
in an executive capacity distinguish
ed him in military circles.
Captain and Mrs. Lester are de-
lighted with Covington and the New
Southern. Their chief amusement
here has been the long hikes they
have taken. Both are fond OF the
country and find more than average
pleasure in the abundant beauty OF
nature and they have enjoyed thel:
stay here.
Among the personal friends Cap
tain Lester was delighted to me7-
Mr.. E. G. Davis, president of the.
Covington Bank & Trust Company.
After the trip to New Orleans
Captain and Mrs. Lester will take
up their home in St. FrancisVille.

MISS ANAIs BOUDOUsQUIE.

After an illness of some length
Miss Anais Boudousquie died at her
home in Covington at midnight Fri
day, February 13, 1920.
Miss Boudousquie was a very low
able girl. When Covington was at
the height of social enjoyment, when
society fads and social doings gem
orally were more in the thoughts of
the younger set than even to-day,
Miss Boudousquie was popular and
we'll know figure. Pretty and enter
tanning, singer of fine voice, will
ing and gracious as an enterta iner
and helpful in the dramatic enter
tainments that were frequent then,
Miss Boudousquie had many admir-
ers and warm friends. AS presi-
dent of the M. C. B. Club, Miss
Boudousquie gave them a successful
business and social management,
and later she did successful work for
the Red Cross, both in and out Of
committees. She will be sadly miss
ed by her many friends.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home in Covington by Father
John Burger and in New Orleans
on Sunday by Father Simori, of st.
Augustine Church, interment being
made in st. Louis Cemetery The
floral offerings were very beautiful
and were touching reminder of the
loving memory of friends.
Miss Boudousquie's father, Henry
A. Boudousquie, is deceased, but she
is survived by her mother, Julia
Bonabel, sister Gabrielle NJ, bro her
Frank N, an dtwo nepheWs, Robert
and Beverly Lobdell. To these boys
she was all that mother could he
and was very fond of them.

Help the Local Paper and 1t viii
Help You.

Help You. -.---.
The local weekly paper or daily
papers deserve better support than
they receive in many communities.
Some have not succeeded because Of
the policy or lack of policy of thei,
management, but our experience con-
vinces lis that the great majority of
the papers devoted to the interests of
the home community deserve hearty
support The metropolitan daily
will bring to ones doorstep the news
of the world seen through the spec
tacles rf the city editor, but it is the
editor who lives in the heart of the
community who Is able to reflect the
sentiment of the local group. He
alone is the true Interpreter of events
as they affect the small town and the
country Immediately surrounding it.
He alone is able to put the thrOb Of
real feeling into the obituaries Of
the men and women among whom
he has spent his life and with whom
he has worked for the improvement
and advancement of the old home
town These local papers deserve
better than they generally get. Dul-
ing the war they have had hard
many of them, and now
they have a perfect right to come to
the citizens of their locality asking
real business support. Give it to
them. If the local paper has the
right kind of encouragement it can
do more for the welfare of the town
and the countryside than any other
factor Support means more than
merely subscribing. Send in the
news. Patronize the advertising
columns. Pretty soon you will find
yourself becoming more interested
in the community than you ever we're
before and you will find that it is
good place to stay rather than some
thing to try to get away from. Help
the local paper and it will help you.
