This question has arisen in the
mind OF many farmer who is getting
on in years." and who begins to feel
that it is about his time to give up the
grinding hard work he has always had
to do. retire and take things easy. So
he thinks Of selling the farm and NOV
ing to town. Many farmers do this,
almost always to their later regret be-
cause they find that they are not COM
Portable in town and that while thew
don't want to grind as they've always
had to before still they miss their farm
work and farm interests. So thew
fail to find satisfaction after all.
Others have struck a much better
solution of the problem during the last
few years within which time the farm
electric plant has put in its appear
ance and changed the whole face of
country life. The farmer who has
reached the retiring age finds that it
isn't at all necessary for him to 20 to
town to find the leisure that he needs
He finds that il he electrifles his farm,
the drudgery will disappear from farm
work, chores will almost do themselves,

the porches and at the barn that can be
turned on and off from the house.
They will have bath room with hot
and cold running water. There will
be water on tap in the kitchen, faucets
outside for sprinkling the lawn.
All OF these conveniences come with
electricity, and the farmer who takes
advantage of them finds that he no
longer has to think of selling the farm
and moving to town for ease and COM
fort in his declining years. He can en-
Joy them much better right on the
farm where he has spent his life, and
he can still take an interest in his
life work

ASSOCIATION OF
COMMERCE WILL
GIVE MONTHLY
DINNERS
Thomas Brooks Fletcher Is
Guest of Honor at First
One Thursday.
SAYS NICE THINGS
OF GOV. PARKER
Covington Restaurant Scene
of a Change in Heart
= and Sentiment.

The Association Of Commerce, at
the dinner given at the Covington
| Restaurant, Thursday, had as its
guest Thomas Brooks Fletcher, the
lecturer now with the Redpath Chau-
tauqua Mr.. Fletcher is known from
one end of America to the other as
a lecturer of remarkable dramatic
power, but this is not the thing that
will endear him most to the people
of Coyington. His high character
and worthy sentiments rank with his
sense of humor and expression. It
is his honest endeayor for the be.-
terment of mankind and his intelli-
gent methods of accomplishing
things that brings him popularity.
And while he was guest Of honor
of the Association, had he been
paid disciple of constructive, pro-
gressiVe community work he would
have been an asset of great value.
OF course he is a Parker man and
he said some nice things about our
new and beloved governor, and he
said that the people of his section
and people all over the country, he
found, were watching for the effect
his administration would have on
Lou siana; and he said Louisiana
needed such man to advertise to
the world it's opportunities and to
correct some Impressions that were
hurtful.
There were thirty-eight at the din
ner, and altogether it was very in
structive and enjoyable affair. Ths
Association will give these dinners
once a month hereafter.

ing Several Roads.

The Good Roads Commission mas
not been able to get any construction
work started on the federal aid pro-
jects, but funds have beeh set aside
with which to take care of the fed
eral aid work, and N addition the
Commission has gone ahead letting

$21S,000 worth of this work having
been let ron the 8th of May covering g
the road form Talisheek to Pearl
River, which was let to Lawrence,

at cots of $88, 8,249.30, and the Tall
sheek-Bun-Sun road to the same firm
at a cost of $65, 5,969.50, and the Sill
dell-Sait Bayou road, which was let
to R. S. Daniels, at a cost of $685.
$500. This makes a total of six
contracts now in operation in the
several parts of the parish.
The parish road outfit has been
working for several weeks in the Sth
and 9th wards, doing maintenance
work for the police jurors of tn ose
respective wards.
The work on the Turnpike road
has been moving very slowly due to
labor shortage principally, but the
work on this road has been started
anew and is expected to have it car
ried on to completion as quickly as
possible.
Contractor R. S. Daniels, on the
e-Ponchatoula road, has
made a very good start on his work.
He has moved considerable Dirt and
is now spreading shells for the pave
ment. His work as a whole is NOV
ing very well.
The work on the Covington-Tali-
sheek road is moving very slowly,
which is caused by several factors,
among which is labor shortage and
the time lost from slow delivery of
gravel from the pits.
The contractors receiving the con-
tracts on the roads let May 8th are
now getting their equipment together
and will be moved on to the jobs by
the first of June.
