THE "MONROE' WINS.

The result of the big race justifles
the claims of Mr.. Brown, of the
Stutz Agency, Covington, as regards
the Monroe" which they also
handle.
The 500-mile Indianapolis Speed
way Race, Monday, May 31st, cover
ing the distance in hours, 40 m n
utes and 16 seconds, an average
speed of 8S.16 per mile was made
by the Monroe"
More than 200 entries were en-
tered in this race( probabyl half
that number accepted), including
many cars of foreign make, and
some "old heads" at the game.
Twenty-three cars started and only
eleven finished the race. The Mon
roe," it's first attampt on the track,
finished first
There are, of course, some reasons
for the above record, which should
be some of your reasons for wanting
to own a Monroe"

Miss Ruth Voss Gives In
teresting Talk on
Girls Work.

Miss Ruth Voss, Y. w. c. A, Bo-
galusa, secretary Girls Work, spoke
to a gathering of ladies at the New
Southern Hotel, Thursday evening
Miss Voss' object in coming here Was
the establishment of this division of
the Y. w. C. A. in Covington. She
had just come up from Slidell whore
she organized a class of twenty-five.
There were present: Mrs. J. c.
Burns, Mrs. l.. l.. Morgan, Mrs. Chas.
H. Sheffield, Mrs Karl Treen, Mrs.
Preston Burns, Misses Katie Seller,
Marguerite Sharp, Josie Frederick
Gladys Lacroix, Lillian Vaughan,
ther Clark, Jean Caulfield, Doris
Sheffield, Clarice Sheffield, Grace
Menetre, Marguerite Bradley, Ruth
Morgan.
Miss Voss' talk was very much en-
iOyed and she impressed upon her
hearers the value and moral worth
of the work she had in hand. Asile
from the domestic training and char
acter- bui ding, there is so much clean
enjoyment in Girls Work" that it
makes a strong appeal to them, as
we'll as to parents. The campaign
for enlarging the membership is
made poss BILE by the Goodyer do1a-
ton CT $500 to the Bogalusa Y. w.
C. A. for this purpose. Bogalusa has
the only Y. w. c. A. building in the
state. A trained instructor from st.
Louis will be in charge. The Girls
Camp trip is one of the delightful
features of the association. 1t starts
July 5th and there is a chaperon for
every five g rls. The expense is so
light as to be negligible. Girls are
eligible to membership from 5 to
IS years. 1t is a Junior association.
Mrs. J. G.. Burns was made chair
man and will have the organization
in charge. 1t has been suggested
that later on arrangements might be
made with the M c. BIS. to use the
library building as home for per-
manent association in Covington.
In the meantime the members here
will affiliate with the Bogalusa asso-
citation. The dues will be 50 cents.

MAYOR BADON
ATTENDS MEET
OF SHRINERS

CoVington's mayor is joyial
Shriner as we'll as a good Mason, and
he was delighted with his trip to
Mobile, where the Shriners were vel
coined on the 18th by the Shr.n .ners
and citizens of that fine commercial
city. Mayor Badon says all he saw
was worth seeing, and then there
was no trouble about bed and din
ner, because the Shriners travelled in
their usually comfortable style, liv-
ing aboard the Pullman, where there
was everything good to eat and COM
fort at a discount. There were pa
rades, ceremonials, dinners, boat
rides and bath ne. dancing, band
concerts, and what nots, and cars
were parked for the convenience Of
the guests The Mayor met Mr.. E..
J. Domergue in New Orleans and
both went over together

builders, and gossips and jealous cats
are structionists-not construc-
tionists.
"Covington needs a definite COM
mun,ty program, financial budget,
more sincere and better enlightened
cooperation, if it is to come into its
own.
"Covington's public library is
something of which the people ought
to be very proud. The ladies whose
efforts have made your public library
poss bile deserve not only the finest
tribute of appreciation, but the loyal
and devoted financial support of
every citizen, for a public library
means finer culture and higher
standard of citizenship.
:'The Southern Hotel is a credit to
the town. l was glad to learn the
erection of the new brick depot was
promised by the railroad officials to
begin within a week. The town is
judged by it's hotel, depot and post
office. The hotel represents what
the people think Of their town; the
depot what the railroad company
thinks of the town; the post office
what the congressman thinks of the
town. | was also pleased to learn
that the new Park Pavilion was just
being completed, because these
things speak well for the citizenship.
"The Pine Products factory Is a
splendid example of the utilization
of a raw product-the disagreeable
stump. The moss factory recently
erected in Covington will turn the
gray moss which drapes the trees OF
the forest, into mattresses, employ
ment and money.
81 am informed that the clays and
ahrdwood of this section, as raw pro-
ducts, coupled with good transporra-
ton facilities and nearby markets
offer splendid opportunities for the
location of brick yard and veneer
factories.
"In addition to the ,healthfulness
of the climate which is tempered by
the nearness of the lake and the
gulf, these conditions favor early
production of truck crops which can
be sent over the l. C. System right
into the heart of the great industr al
center of the nation. But, far-sight-
ed business men must see to it that
the farmers have assistance in the
product ON and more particularly In
the marketing of their products.
These improvements will add to
the beauty, quality and population
of the town. Industries, including
agricultural, will add to the wealth
and size of the community. These
things must come, howevas, through
organized efforts-not the work of
individual citizens, but the combined
efforts of the individuals through an
organization like the Association of
Commerce, which must be well sup
ported financially and morally.
No town can rise above the level
of it's spirit and teamwork. We
have to judge you and all oth-r
towns finally by what you are dong
for the boys and girls in the way OF
Fairgrounds, amusements, and the
directing of their mental, moral and
spiritual energies. Democracy's to-
morrow depends upon what you are
doing to make real American citi-
zens out of the boys and girls Of to-
day.
81 recommend for Covington, LOU
isiana, a League Of Ne;ghbors.

NEEDS DEFINITE
COMMUNITY PLAN
Knockers, Hammer Throw
ers Are Not Communi-
ty Builders.

In an interview with Mr. Brooks
Fletcher concerning the conditions in
Covington, he had the following to
say:
"One of the pleasant experiences
have had ON the Chautauqua trip
through Louisiana was my visit to
Covington and the meeting of the
men and women who are the leading
spirits in the community.
"One of the memories l will have
of Covington is of the opportunities
that the people have been overlook
ing. Properly advertised, it ought
to be possible to have hundreds Of
transients making of Covington re-
sort and resting place. You people
of Covington have the leadership it
seems to me, but what you need is a
great awakening, and more people
aroused to deeper appreciation CT
their individual responsibility to
their leaders
Il have visited hundreds of towns
and had opportunity to make close
survey of community possibilities,
and | am frank to say that | have
very seldom found a community of
the size of Covington with better
Chamber of Commerce, or a more
efficient secretary. You people of
Covington are mighty lucky to have
as your Chamber of Commerce sec
retary Mr.. Karl Treen. l know many
communities that would be glad to
get him at salary of four or five
thousand dollars a year.
you cannot build town through
a Chamber of Commerce without
supporting, both morally and financi-
ally, those whom you elect to direct
the Chamber of Commerce enter
prises. The -unorganized communi-
ty, these days, has very little chance
to compete with other communities.
You have one of the best newspapers
in Covington, for a town of its size,
that l know of anywhere.
What you people need today is to
get better acquainted with one an
other. You have lived so close to
one another that many of you are
Judging your neighbors through
prejudiced eyes. You look for the
good, the big and the best in your
competitor and your neighbor across
the street, and you find just what
you are looking for. Knockers and
hammer-throWers are not community
