Some jackass has discovered that
the Steel Corporation manufactures
cement and that is given as reason
for opposing Amendment No. l..
Awful, isn't it? Don't build cement
roads because some one we don't ex-
actly like sells cement. Will some
one please tell us whom the N.'P.
"bullsh--evists" like better than them
selves? A cement manufacturer is a
robber who has evil designs on the
country when he goes into the market
and offers to sell cement to build
roads whereon the Nonpartisan
''bushwah" peddler can haul big loads
of produce to market.

at 7:15 on First avenue and Camp

full of features of any attempted in
the rast. A detachment of mounted

and speakers in carriages escorted by
detachment of rough riders mount

way to Washington with banners and
Gen. Coxey in the lead covered with
massive silk tile was one of the
best representations and followed the
rough riders. This "Coxey's Army"
was no joke to the average laborer
who put in the time from '93 to '97.

LISTEN.

Did 1t ever occur to you that real
estate is the foundation Of all wealth;
that it is the beginning of all pros
per.ty; that it is security against ad-
versity? Money may be lost, stocks
may shrivel up to nothing, but real
estate remain a firm, solid tangible
asset. A spot, a speck of dirt that
you can call your own will give you
courage and hope and certain peace
of mind that nothing else will give.
| will sell you whole square of
ground, or any part thereof, in Cow
ngton, on easy monthly payments.
These squares are in Second Con-
oily Addition, UP on the hill above
Sulphur Springs where great develop
ments may soon take place.
II you want to make truck gar
den; if you want a little chicken
farm; if you want to build home;
if you want an investment, you
should buy one of these squares
The price is small, the terms are
easy. You will never have better
chance to get piece of dirt.

Between Four and Five
Hundred Dollars.

Some time after midnight of Wed

lows very quickly on the heels OF
the last robbery, when the hounds
were put on the trail without re-
suits This time entrance was gan

Finger prints and foot marks on the
glass and frame of the window where
the thief climbed up, and in the
store, where cement sacks used to
carry off the su is of clothing were
laid on the overails counter the
cement dust was over everything.
About four or five hundred dollars
worth of goods were taken.
A thorough search will be made
to find the goods and trace the
thieves. The people are aroused
over this matter and feel that it is
time to do something to stop this
kind of thing. A reward should be
offered for capture of thieves.

PEARL RIVER SCHOOL CLOSING.

A most satisfactory and successful
school year came to close Satur-
day night, May %, when a program
which reflected credit on both teach
ers and pupils was presented.
Supt. Lyon gave an earnest and
timely address in which he spoke of
the need of better salaries for teach
ers in order to retain the best talent
in the profession. He concluded his
address with an urgent appeal to the
graduates to pursue their studies as
long as possible, stressing the great
need of we'll trained minds.
Diplomas were then presented to
Winnie May Sellers, Mary Vineyard,
Florence Versen and Carolyn Dor
mon.
All three of the teachers, Misses
Pinckeny, Ronena Kahl and Helen
Scale, have been offered the same
positions for another year. We
trust they accept as they have proven
themselves to be valuable teachers.

Remember 4th Of July at Parish
Fair Grounds, Covington. K. of c.
oooooooo~oo-~oooo~
about 60 per cent can be classed as
a fair stand. The other forty per
cent plowed under and planted In
late corn, peas, potatoes or otha-
food crops would be much more
beneficial to those farmers having
poor stands of cotton, and this should
be plowed under before 1t is too late.
Boil weeviis are present this year
in enormous quantities., in fact, we
expect the heaviest damages from
boil weevils this year that the farm
ers have ever known. This state
ment applies not only to st. Tam
many, but is reported for the entire
cotton growing sections. Along with
the presence of boil weeVils in large
quantities l have had many inquiries
realtive to the poisoning of the
boil weevil.
Calcium-arsenate is used as pol
son in destroying the weeVil, and
must be applied with a busting gun
being put on the market especially
nate This poison kills the WeeVil Dy
entering into solution with the dew
forming on the cotton leaves, and the
weevils are poisoned by drinking or
this solution upon the leaves. This
necessitates the application of same
preferably at dusk, twilight, moon
light nights or in early dawn.
The cost of applying calcium-arse-
nate as a poisoning varies from so
to SIS per acre, depending upon the
infestation present, and will give re-
suits varying from $50 to 500 lbs
increase yield per acre OF seed cot
ton, but it is not advisable to at
tempt poisoning on land not fertile
enough to produce at least one-haif
bale per acre.
This method of poisoning kills the
adult weevils only, that is after 1t
emerges from the squares and be-
gins puncturing the bolls, therefore
this necessitates the repetition or
dusting treated plots at regular in
tervals, varying from 8 to days or
7-day intervals, depending on visible
damage or injury being done.
We are carrying on several dem
onstration in this parish this year in
dusting the boil weevil with calcium
arsenate and shall be glad to make
| public the results of these demon
strations when complete. However,
1 want to warn farmers interested in
this phase of spraying and busting
to go very slow from the beginning.
| My advice is to treat only small
plots of one acre or SO this year.
Compare this acre treated with un-
treated fields, for comparative re-
suits, gains in yields, cost, etc., In
the meantime acquainting one with
the use of same.
l have had some experience with
the use of same and have seen and
studied the results obtained at the
Delta Laboratory at Tallulah, La,
and shall be glad to meet and talk
with any farmers Interested in carry
ing on any work along the lines of
decreasing weeyil-damage to cotton.

SUPPOSED CAUSE
Heroic Work Of Jones and

Spread of Flames.

Wednesday even 'ng, just after 6
o'clock, fire was discovered in the
Methodist church Both sides in
the rear seemed to blaze up at
once. 1t was some time before the
fire alarm was sounded, but in the
meantime the engine was gotten ou.
and water connection was made in
the ditch, a block or so below the
church. While nothing was saved
:of the church building the fire was
prevented from spreading and tae
town was saved from a general col-
Migration. The noble oaks in the
back and side of the church made
it possible to do this Nothing could
have saved us if we had had windy
day. The fire is supposed to have
originated through the play of child
rem. Loss is estimated at $4,000.
The fine work of Night Marshal
Jones and w. E. Boes won the graft

purse of $500 was raised for them.

c. w. Varnado, Travelling
Man, Well Known, Is
Instantly Killed.
CAR CARRIED $50
YARDS TO CREEK
Talisheek Railroad Crossing
60 Feet From Where
Car Started.

At 1903 p. NJ, Monday, June 7th,
G. w. Varnado, travelling man for
Proctor & Gamble, was sitting in his
automobile talking to Pete and
Bruce Parker near the Stanga store,
Talisheek. He waived them good
bye and started his car across the
railroad tracks of the N. o. G. N.
Sixty feet distant, hidden by the de-
pot, train of one coach and an
engine flashed by at speed of forty
miles an hour. Engineer MCGOWAN
and Fireman Lloyd were on the en-
g.ne. Mr.. Varnado did not see the
train, evidently, until it was upon
him. Witnesses say he clutched the
steering wheel with a slight motion
but never had even time to turn the
wheels before he was struck. The
car was carried 250 yards impaled
on the front of the engine, to tho
creek. There was no cowcatcher on
the engine. Mr.. Varnado was not
thrown from the car, but his skull
was crushed near the forehead. Ho
was killed instantly. Mr.. Varnado
was fine young man and his dea.n
is greatly regretted. He lived at
Bolivar, La.
Engineer MCGOWAN says he blew
his whistle but could not stop in
time to prevent the collision. Other
witnesses to the accident were Cor
ley Sharp, Mrs. Sharp and Mrs. Will
son. None of them except Mrs. Will
son heard the whistle. She says she
heard a slight toot. Coroner Bal
loch summoned jury composed of
Warren Thomas, G. G. Thomas, VIM.
Parker, Prof. Russ and G. A. Single
tary. The finding was simply that
death resulted from the collision of
the auto and train.

To the Nursing Committee of St.
Tammany Parish Chapter, A. R. c.
l submit herewith my report 70"
the month of May, 1920.
On May 3 | examined the children
of the Madisonville colored school,
and found them in unusually good
condition. l had been down there a
short time before this and given the
ch ldren of both rooms a health talk
A few of the parents We're present
also. On the afternoon of the same
day l attended the last meeting this
term of the Covington School I'M
proVement League.
The schools examined this month
were all large ones and were tx
amined by physicians with the ex-
ception of the colored school, and
that at Talisheek, which l did my
self On the 4th, Dr. Heintz ex
amined the Abita school. On the
5th DR.. Bulloch and DR.. Jones the

treaux the Coyington High School.
"A total of $50 children were eX
amined this month 332 have defec-
tive teeth, 210 enlarged or diseased
tonsils, 80 nasal obstruction, 80 de-
fective ears, and II defective vision.
have been very busy with the ex-
am nations but have managed this
last week to get in considerable fol-
low-up work. | find that quite a
few parents have already acted upon
the suggestion in the notices sent
after the examinations, and the ma
jority of those visited, who have not
already had corrections done, have
made very definite plans for it soon.
Five parents have been so interested
that they came up to the office to con-
suit with me.
Our dentist has fixed the teeth of
24S children this month, and l have
a report from the principal of the
Slidell school saying that 46 of his
pupils have had dental work done as
a result of the school examination.
l have had six to the dentist here,
one being a child from Folsom. This
makes a total of 20 who have mad
ear, nose and throat treatment, four
had eye treatment.
On the 29th l took colored We
man to the hospital in New Orleans,
and returned with three children
from the Ear, Nose and Throat Hos
pital While at the Hospital l had
a long conversation with DR.. Allen,
who operated upon these children,
and he said he may spend his Vaca-
tion over here and do some ear, nose
and throat work for us. / have
made all arrangements for a place,
in case he does decide to do this.
While on trip to Slidell | dis
cussed a Baby Week" with Mrs.
Cunningham, president of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary to the Civic League.
We hope to put over big week fer
the babies of Slidell and that part OF
the parish in June, and for the Gov
ington section in July.
l have been doing a bit of talking
for a Community House, which | feei
is very much needed in CoVington,
Have done more nursing this
month than last, having made As
visits. Had two real tick tuberCu-
losis cases. One died and one was
after a great deal of trouble, sent
away to an institution.

Night Marshal Eddie Jones made
a good roundup of negro idlers whC
appeared in the Mayors Court, Mon
day. A haul was made on a poker
game In which there was $3.50 II
cash on the table and something IN
the kitty. One man was bewailing
the fact that he held three kings
when he opened the pot and was
about to make killing. Among the
lot was one who had not paid his
street tax, and that was collected.
In all the haul netted the town alb ,ut
s204.00. Mayor Badon fined them
$1,000 and costs, with warning to
step carefully in the future.
