MATTER

The erection of the monument 10
| the soldiers and sailors of st. Tam
many parish is now being taken I'D
in Slidell, which will give it's best
aid to the undertaking. Under the
able management of Mr.. C. A. Evoc-
lit, of Slidell, and with the patrio 9
sentiment always manifested by that
town, it is safe to say that it will
not long before the work is finished
Mrs. J. C. Burns, chairman of the
committee, is very much encouraged
| at the outlook. and has the folio Vi
ing from Mr.. Everitt:
| The above is a likeness of the
| monument to be erected at the par
ish seat, Covington, in memory of
| the boys who so nobly fought and
helped win the greatest battle in che
history of the world.
They willingly gave their servic IS
and lives to gain the victory, and we
the people of St. Tammany parish
that deed.
To make possible the erection o.
this beautiful memorial, We of Sill
dell must raise $3.50 by January FL
1920. Please send in your contr;-
buttons promptly to C. A. Everitt,
Slidell chairman monument fund,
Bank of Slidell. C. A. EVERITT.
(By Mrs. J. C. Burns)
The above copy of letter to tho
people of Slidell, and letter to Mr..
E. G. Davis, chairman Of the Council
of Defense, sent to Covington
few days ago, encourages the COM
mittee in charge of the memorial
shaft to be erected in memory of the
boys who fought and died in the war
We have been working very slow
ly in this great cause, and now that
Slidell begins active work and most
of the drives for Red CIR SIS and otheS
causes are over, we should consider
this the first and most important
work of the new year.
We earnestly request all comm.t-
tees throughout the parish to begin
over and start an active campaign in
raising the quotas named for eacE
ward.
Onville is the only town that has
deposited it's full quota, although
Covington has subscribed its full
amount and it will be collected in Il
few days.

town beautiful-if not for our owr
happiness and prosperity, then fpi
the sake of the over increasing hoard
of strangers within our gates.
2. Rebuild our recreation park
and establish another and more GER
tral bathing and boating beach
Thousands seek recreation in ou1
Gtorm-damaged park and on our dis
tant beach; this leads to the conVlc-
ton that others would welcome facil-
tiles and attractions in a park and
more accessible beach. Our river
baths are clean and free from the
sickness common to ocean baths.
8. Expand the usefulness Of our
library without greatly increasing op-
Grating expenses. Provide readin :
room, periodical literature, reference
books and a card index system for
cataloguing useful information.
4. Establish a museum of objects
of local interest. Many citizens own
antiques and curios that should be
brought together in central exhibit.
Our woodlands and streams and
and curiosities that enlighten and
entertain, that encourage natural his
tory study, and are mediums Of ed-
Vertisement.
5. Plant fruit trees for shade
trees. Street fruit is seen lin few
American cities, notably Milwaukee,
but this European economy Is prac-
ticalIy unknown here
6. Establish pleasure drives to
near by points. A regular sight-see-
ing schedule at popular prices to our
local attractions and to Riverside
Drive, jacksonville, Abita, etc, will
afford entertainment and much good
advertisement.
7. Encourage thrift through home
building and home vegetable and
flower gardens, and greater utiliza-
tion of our many natural wild foods.
cherries, berries, mayhaW, mush-
rooms, poke root and dandelion.
Make our a town of bone owners,
and there will be more rose-crowned
lawns, more orchards, more civic
pride, more prosperity and less OBJ
jections to paved sidewalks and
sewers.
s. Use the Parish Fair as a great
er medium Of exchange for ideas and
merchandise, for increasing produc-
tion by selling on liberal terms the
best grade of animals, and the most
desirable garden, field and orchard
stock.
8. Encourage factories and CO.
operative business. Our merchants
are making money, and our Aassoca-
tion of Commerce developing new en-
terprises, but the field is big, and
there are no farmers cooperative
buying and selling associations.
10. Encourage the development
OF local talent in music, art and
science.
II. Maintain our high health
standard by cooperation with the
health board. Keep premises clean.

A Bachelors Reverie.
Cold was the night, So
His fire was bright,
AS the north wind blew
There in his chair
He stroked his hair,
Old owl oires "Tu-Whoo."
In firelight's grace
He pictures a face -
Maid lovely and sweet
Her form comes then
Into, his ken
And sits on his knee.
Cries with start,
Bachelors heart
Happiness mine!"
This girl I'll wed
With ring and spread;
Come, St. Valentine.
