COMMUNITY HOUSE.

For the next two or three months
the Community House will change its
all-day opening program and will
open only from p. m. till 8 p. M,
and the hostess days will be Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Books may
be obtained from the library during
these hours.
This change has been made be-
caues it is,~found that the people
from the country, during the winter
months, more frequently take. ad-
vantage of the conveniences offered
during these hours as well as the
school children, and city visitors are
not as frequent as during the ex-
cursion times. This arrangement
will considerably cut the cost OF
maintenance without diminishing the
service rendered by the Community
House materially

DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES OF
'.ST. TAN1MANY'S BIG BANK
DINE AT GABE'S,

The directors and employees Of
the Covington Bank & Trust Com
pany had a get-together dinner at
Gabe's Tavern last Friday evening.
While it was quiet affair, no one
being present outside of the board
and staff, excepting our genial Mayor
Badon, everyone enjoyed themselves.
This old and strong institution,
known as "St Tammany,s Big
Bank" has an enviable reputation
for conservatism and fair dealing.
By its policy of conservatism with
just enough liberality and courage,
it has built up a banking business
that is second to none among the
country banks Of the state. Those
present were T. M. Burns, W. r. Ba-
don, Theo. Dendinger, Emile Fred

DISTRICT COURT.

District Court has had qnite a
| criminal calendar to take care of
this week and is is session as we 20
to press, Judge Carter on the bench
and District Attorney J. Vol Brock
prosecuting.
The sensation Of the session was
Judge Carter's charge to the grand
jury relative to the sale of white
lightning or illicit whisky. He said
he had been approached by citizens
on the train and after he reached
Covington and asked if something
could not be done to stop it. That
boys were drinking it and it's sale
was evident everywhere. Judge Car
ter charged the jury that it was their
duty to investigate it. That he
could do nothing without their help,
He hoped they would give him this
aid and that if they did he assured
them that the iron heel of Justice
would be set upon it.
The jury made no report on the
matter.
The court proceedings will sbe pub
lished next week.

Negro Boy Caught
Selling Booze From
Basket Is Arrested.

Saturday week Mr.. Hjansbrough
phoned to Sheriff Galatas that a ne
gro boy was disposing of white light
ming, near Abita. The sheriff placed
the matter in the hands of Deputy
j ohm Stire, Of Abita, and Mr, Stire
found the boy near the Dump" out
from Abita, and arrested him. He
gave his name as Otto Grantham,
and when locked up said he was
handling the stuff for two negro men.
He had five bottles of the illicit in
a basket and seemed to be peddling
it out.
Later in the day Mack Ellis (col.
asked the sheriff permission to see
young Otto. That he had his gun
and he wanted to get it. When Otto
was subsequently questioned he
changed his statement and said that
white men had given him the whisky
to sell.
Otto was taken to New Orleans
Sunday by prohibition officer and
it is said that he was placed under
$1,000 bond. No other arrests were
made.

Poultry Club Agent
From Baton Rouge
Visits Clubs Here.

/ Miss Esl:ner Wilson, Poultry Clu;
Agent from Baton Rouge, is with
| Mrs. w. j. Davis, Parish Home Dem
onstration Agent, this week, visiting
the Poultry Clubs.
The two main points stressed by
Miss Wilson in the meetings were:
early Matching. and the keeping Of
the poultry club record.
The Poultry Club members were
made to feel that their work was a
real business, and each one was be-
ing counted on to make a success of
his work. To begin the success they
were urged to hatch their eggs now
The Poultry Club members We're re-
CURED to have pure bred stock, and
some OF tie reasons for early hatch
ing were: TO obtain pullets that
would lay during the season when
the other hens were moulting, also
when the eggs were high, during the
fall months. Early Matching means
more chicks raising before the long
growing season and the more favor
able climatic conditions, as hot
weather weakens the young chicks,
and early hatched pullets raised thru
the same condition will be mucn
larger. and stronger than a later
hatched pullet.
The second point expressed was to
keep the poultry club record. This
is the more business and systematic
way to ascertain just what each
member is making from his work.
Each member is required to keep an
accurate record, all costs and sales,
and in this way the net profit can
be easily ascerta;ned.
There are sixty poultry club mem
bers in St. Tammany parish, who
will raise pure bred poultry. This
should mean much more to the poul-
try industry in this parish.

an fight to the death the farmer will die
last If big business thinks it can bleed him
without limit it had better consider his re-
sources When it comes to the pinch he can
stand squeezing better than any other class.
Food is the first necessity and he can feed
himself The farmers surplus supplies the
world-suppose surplus fails. "-Wm. j.
Bryan.
Theoretically that is true, but in practice 1t
means pretty much nothing at all. No man or
class of men is independent Of other individuals
or of other industries and the farmer is no ex-
ception to this general rule. The day when
farmers were content with the mere existence
which the farm, unaided, provided for them has
long since gone by, and they are just as prone
to accept the fruits of other industries as any
other class The farmer might keep himself from
starving-but he would have to learn the art all
over again and he would be anything but content
ed with such procedure. It is not class isola-
ton nor class dictation that Bryan should advoc-
ate. but closer union Of all classes and a more
liberal application of that much overworked word
cooperation The sooner we get thousand
miles away from the notion that there is an
octopus called Big Business which is trying to
squeeze" farmers or any else the sooner shall
we begin to function as the good Lord meant US
to function.
