NIGHT MARSHAL JONES DOES A
GOOD PIECE OF WORK.

Night Marshal Ed. Jones has done
very good piece of detective work
in the arrest of Arthur John and the
recovery of four auto tires stolen
from the Covington Grocery & Grain
Company. During his Investigate IN
of the recent robbery Marshal Jones
discovered that one Charles Pier
had in his possession some new auto
tires. He called upon Plier and
finally got him to admit that he had
the tires and that he had got them
from John. In fact he had dug a
round hole, according to the rep ort,
and was preparing to take them from
a tub, put them in the hole and cover
than up. Marshal Jones then went
to Johns room and woke him up and
placed him under arrest. John de-
MED all knowledge Of the tires, but
it is claimed there is evidence enough
that he took them to Plier.
Marshal Jones was enabled TO
trace John up in this matter through
the finding OF a sweater belonging
to Johns woman, a negress named
Martha, in the warehouse OF the Gov
ington Grocery & Grain Co. AS soon
as he ascertained that it was her
property he knew that he could place
his hands on the man in the case.
John is the same negro who was
I'D for trial less than a year ago for
stealing a bicycle. There was not
evidence enough to convict him ana

PARISH FAIR TO
OPEN ABOUT
OCTOBER
21ST
A Big Fair is Expected With
Assistance of Parish
Agent and Farmers.
MORE EXHIBITS
IN PREMIUM LIST
Tempting Prizes Running
Up From Five To
Fifty Dollars.

The next Parish Fair dates Will
most likely be Oct. 21, %, 23, "a.
Hammond and Franklinton follow
the next weekend and the State Fai-
dates are Oct. 27-Nov. 5th. This is
a trifie earlier than our Fair has
been held, but use of these dates
avoid conflicts and enable our Par
ish to get its exhibits to the State
Fair. With the assistance of farm
demonstration agent, our farmers
should make a good showing here
and at the State Fair. The agri-
cultural exhibit was rather slam
than a boost to the farmers of this
Parish last year. The new premium
list is now in preparation for the
men women and children exhibitors
and will be in the hands of the pub
lie this month.
This will be the earliest of any
year yet. There is no time to t
lost. Preparation should be made
now for the approaching fair. It
soon will be time for Mayhaw jelly,
etc. The garden and field paintings
should provide for exhibits for the
fair. Plant a variety Of products.
1t is perfectly legitimate and wise TO
give some few plants or few rows
special care to make prize products
While the whole garden and whole
field should receive the best of care,
yet We may give an extra "petting'
N the matter of cultivation, fertiliza-
ton and even irrigation to the plants
or rows that are to take the cake
The same apppies to chickens, pigs,
yearlings or colts. Make winners of
them. This will be interesting and
instructive to the producers and a
splendid advertisement for the par
ish to the hundreds Of visitors who
come to our fair and to the thousands
who will see our exhibit at ShreVe-
port. Many of these visitors to fairs
go there to decide which parish they
want to invest and live in.
The premium list will include
more exhibits than last year and
larger prizes. One of the new fea-
lures will be handsome prizes for
the best exhibit from any one farm.
Separate booths will be provided the
exhibitors who desire it, and the fol-
lowing will be about the prizes Of
fered: Best display, $50; second,
$25; third, SIS; fourth, $40, AMI
fifth, S.. Five can win. This is
worth working for.

DR.. B. B. Warren Is The
Heaviest Loser to Night
ProWler This Time.
CHASED FROM
HOUSE WITH GUN
Mrs. Allen Saw Him Jump
From Gallery; Says
He Was Black.

Covington has again awakened t.
the fact that riches may fly by nigh,
as we'll as bats. The quiet calm Of
the first comfortable March evening
in which the open window in tie
bedroom might let the fu out has
been disturbed by the thief who few
in. 1t is a story of the old conf
dence that We are all too poor to be
robbed. 1t Is not definitely known
how many suffered from confidence
in this belief, but the number growa
with Investigation.
Mrs. Watt Allen reports that her
premises were entered and that she
discovered the thief and chased him
out on the gallery, from which he
fell as he attempted to jump. She
says he was a negro. She chased
him out with gun that was empty.
Mr.. Becker was robbed of cuff
buttons and a hat.
Mr.. J. E. Gibson was robbed of 81
in cash taken from his trousers.
Mr.. Walter Wohrley says the thief
secured from him $23, two rings
and a gold chain.
DR.. B. B. Warren was the heaviest
loser, as the following list of things
stolen show: Mans watch with mi
tials "B. B. W.; / diamond ring,
wrist watch belonging to Miss Cecile
Warren, signature on back; l laval
ier set with pearls and diamonds, /
amethyst pin, cameo ring, bar
pin with pearls and amethyst, 3
wish bone pins marked &C. W.; l
pin set with for-get-me-nots, l chain
and cross, l coral chain, l ring SET
with garnets, l ring set with opal
and diamonds, l ring set with pearls,
l hypodermic syringe.
officers have been working on the
case but no clue to the thief has YET
been obtained. Night Marshal Ed.
Jones believes the thief could hays
been captured If hounds had been
placed on the trail Immediately.
There is no fund for this purpose,
the cost of hiring the dogs bein:
500. 1t might be good idea to
have a citizens emergency fund for
this purpose.
The thieves entered the refrigera-
tor at the Warren residence and
made their supper from cheese and
other things found there, dining in
the kitchen, and afterwards set fruit
at the different places of the dining
room table. Evidently they took
their time and were not worried.

RAISES QUOTA
FOR BUILDING THE

nouncing that Slidell has raised its
quota of the Monument Fund will
be pleasant news to those who have
looked forward to the building Of
this memorium to the boys of 81.

1t is to be hoped that other parts
of the parish who have not yet COM
pleted their drive will wake up and
get to it.
Following is the letter:
Slidell, La, March 10, 1920.
Mrs J. C. Burns, Covington, La.
Dear Mrs Burns:-I am pleased
to advise that Slidell has raised her
quota of $4,000 for the Parish
Memorial Fund. We will possibly
go slightly over our quota when all
subscriptions are in.
Please advise me when you are
ready to make the final payment on
the monument.
Respectfully,

COOPERATION Is ESSENTIAL.

Hog cholera and charbon among
cattle, horses and sometimes sheep,
are two of the most contagious dis
eases which we have to contend with
in this parish, and these diseases
have been the chief source of more
losses among livestock than all OF
the others combined. Every farmer
and stockman knows from expert
ence, and, in most cases, personal ex-
perience, that there is no cure for
either of these, and the only metho1
of controlling same is by keeping a
close watch on your stock and using
preventive methods. The serums
made and advocated for use to figh:
these diseases, it must be borne in
mind, are preventives and not cura-
tives. The administering of such
serums insures the loss of sto TX
against such diseases as they are Civ
en- for, but will be of little value if
given when the animal has advanced
into the succeeding stages of these
diseases to any great ertent. | men
ton this because I have often heard
81 vaccinated my stock, but the
serum was no good" This may be
true, but most cases, if investigated
further, firmly believe, would prove
that the party making such assertion
was using preventive after the dis
ease has taken its hold on the herd.
The charbon vaccine, used mostly
today, the simultaneous method, or
Anthrax prophylaxis, is usually ad-
ministered just as soon as the signs
of spring and the beginning of warm
weather appear. In anthrax, as in al
germ diseases, the spores under prop
er weather conditions start incubat-
ing and the spread soon follows with
many outbreaks. Taking into con-
sideration the various sources OF in
fections or carriers of the disease,
like the buzzard, dogs, etc., feeding
on carcases and migrating to other
premises. These reasons make it
necessary to vaccinate your stock as
soon as you can conveniently do so,
for an outbreak may make it's appear
ance most any time after March 1o,
or probably sooner, and in most any
community where there were out
breaks last year.
Charbon vaccine does not render
immunity to an animal any longer
than from the time administered un-
til the loss of the potency of the
viris administered, which comes
about during the cold weather, there
fore this is the reason why the vac

cination must be done over every
year. Another reason, often used for
| yearly vaccination, is that a subject
| Is always susceptible to the disease
and one attack never renders i'm
munity, If fortunate enough to re-
| cover. Vaccination, on the other
hand, is subcutaneous injection
| of serum against, and also the in
, lection of charbon or anthrax spores,
bringing about mild type Of the
disease in the body of the animal and
rendering immunity for that season
| only.
| Hog cholera we find absolutely diff
ferent in type. This disease can
| spread and cause great loss at any
| time during the year, although the
| outbreaks are greater and last long
! er during the spring, summer and
| fall months, the disease being known
under two types, generally, chronic
where the disease is old in a herd and
lasts for some time, and acute where
the outbreak is sudden and death is
| fact.
Like charbon, the simultaneous treat
! ment is used in inocu1ating herds as
| this method bears the advantage
which charbon does not, that once an
animal has cholera it is immune the
rest Of its life, therefore this treat
ment is rendering immunity by CIV
ing a mild type of the disease. The
| use of serum alone means a pre-
| ventative from eight to twelve weeks
at the most. then the animal is open
| to infection again.
Cooperation is the next step after
| the use of preventiVes, and sani-
tary conditions, by cooperation, ap-
piled to vaccination work, we mean
to have all stock owners in every
community get together and see that
their livestock are vaocinated before
outbreaks occur and to see that their
| neighbor does this also; to be care
| full that no one comes from places
that cattle and hogs have been dy-
| ing to open infection to your stock,
and to see that all carcases are burn
ed thoroughly or buried deeply ial-
mediately where they died, rather
than be hauled out in the woods or
branch for scattering the disease, and
to see that your dog stays home and
does not make nightly rounds to
| bring the disease back to you, and
to kill every buzzard you find feed
ing around the premises or flying
low enough to give you good target
practice. Remember, there are no
laws protecting these scavengers or
disease spreaders.

MEETING OF THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.

At meeting of the Covington Fire
Department Tuesday night, Chief J.
Louis Smith stated that there We're
| several conditions which had to do
with the Department not performing &
better at the last fire. The Depart
ment has a motorized system and
gas engines play some funny stunts
on cold mornings with any one. The
gasoline now on the market is pooc,
testing about 81 per cent. 1t used
to test 76 per cent. This poor gas
had been standing in the tanks on
the engines about two months, and
had further deteriorated. The ba--
teries were weak, their composition
too having been cheapened of late,
though they appeared to be strong.
The electric wiring had become in {
poor condition. These faults were
corrected before that day was ove-.
Some ether has been placed at thu
engine house to start engines when
very cold. High test gasoline has
been ordered.
Mr.. R. H. Ferguson suggested
equipping engines with 'chokers,"
with new magnetos, and compression
Oil cups, which suggestions were
adopted. He volunteered his SER
vices as much as five hours per week
to run and inspect engines and als1
agreed to become responsible for
their condition. This was highly ap-
preciated. Those present believing
in his ability, accepted his offer ao1
elected him chief engineer.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that if the houses which burned has
not had their roofs Uttered with pine
straw they would not have caught so
quickly, and more of them wouI1
have been saved. More houses
would have burned had not the
chemical worked and had not the big
engine gone to working when it did.
1t was decided to ask the council
to enforce their ordnance forbiddi1g
people and vehicles from passing
over the hose when it is strung out
at fire, and to urge the installation
of a standard waterworks and sewer
age system.

ENDORSEMENT
UNANIMOUS OF
GALATAS FOR
SHERIFF
Sentiment Is Strong That
He Deserves Office; Is
Fitted For It.
PARISH COMMITTEE
MEETS MONDAY, 22D.
Expected He Will Receive
Nomination Without
Any Opposition.

During Sheriff Brewster's long
term of Office he has been ably assist
ed by his chief deputy, Walter Ga
latas. Nothing would probably have
given Mr.. Brewster greater pleasure
than to know that he would be sue
ceeded in Office by Mr.. Galatas. His
knowledge Of the efficiency of Mr..
Galatas caused him to place great
trust in him and to feel that during
his illness the affairs OF the sheriff's
office would be conducted just as he
would require if he were present.
Not alone Mr.. Brewster, but ths
public generally have the same feel
ing of security and protection in the
administration of this Office while in
charge of Mr.. Galatas. 1t is there
fore not remarkable that "a strong
public sentiment, unanimous, as far
as known, should demand that Mr.
Galatas be made sheriff in fact
Under the law as understood here
the Parish Executive Committee has
the power to appoint the nominee
for sheriff, to be voted on at the
coming election April goth, and this
committee will meet next Monday,
March 22d, when it is believed Mr..
Galatas will be nominated without
opposition.
There were quite number of can
didates for this office, but when it
was learned that Mr.. Galatas was
being proposed as Mr.. Brewster's
successor, every one of them very
graciously and willingly withdrew
their claims.
There is a general feeling that the
faithful work of Mr.. Galatas, at a
salary hardly equal to the necessi-
ties of his family, deserved to be re-
warded, and that Furthermore rs
would make sheriff who could be
depended upon in the handling Of
both criminal and cival matters.
Coroner Bulloeh has been sworn
in by Judge Carter to act as sheriff
and Mr.. Galatas to act as chief dep
uty under him until Governor ap-
oints ad interim. This appointee, il
is understood, will be Mr.. Galatas.
1t was suggested that the "knock-
ers" do less talking and more help
ing, also that people rake last years
pine straw Of their houses.
