THE ORIENTAL FETE.

The Oriental Fete gotten up by the
ladies of the Episcopal Church, Mon
day evening at the Park Pavilion,
was very attractive and spectacu-
lar affair. The make-ups arfH the
costumes were excellent Refresh
ments were served, and the dancers
were furnished music by the Sidell
band. Public appreciation was dis
played by a very liberal patronage
and more than $50 was cleared.
Considering the fact that the
weather was cold and disagreeable,
with it's wind and chill, We think
the ladies did remarkably we'll, and
it would not be bad idea to repeat
the performance a1ssome future date.
The pavilion is open and cold wealth
er is a great handicap to the enjoy
ment of an occasion of that kind.
Tableaux and uther attractive fea-
lures could have been added and
would have been greatly enjoyed on
a warm summer night.

Two Sides Get Together In

FOR FIRST TIME THE
WOMEN PARTICIPATE
Mayor Badon Expresses Ap1
probation for Himself
and Town Council.

Running town with short
finances is mansize job. 1t keeps
nne so busy that he hasn't time to
listen to all the kicks that come
in over the Wire or to smooth the
wrinkles out of critics that reacn
his ears on the streets, but we have
discovered that conscientious ad-
ministration of town affairs has its
blessings as well as its tribulat-oEs
and that the public is not such a
bad sport after all.
The present administration map
ned out plans for placing the town
#dinances on a good, healthy footing,
but found the single term of two
years was not sufficient for carrying
them out. 1t however has accom-
plished something, and bellevlng
that it would be able to do more
toward completing it's plans In an
other term, it was decided to ask the
support of the people for reelection.
With this in view, a meeting or
friends of the administration WAS
called for Wednesday evening at the
Southern Hotel. At this meeting a
report was read showing what had
been accomplished and large num-
her of those present expressed the
satisfaction from the floor. The en-
dorsement was so generous and
unanimous, coming as it did from an
unusually large gathering for
meeting of this Kind, that we wish
to use this means OF expressing our
sincere appreciation.
We consider the meeting unusual
and the endorsement of special sig
nifcance not only because Tof the
presence Of large number OF proml-
nent citizens, Doth men and women,
but because it brought together the
leaders of opposing factions that
have fought eacn other for years
1t means a great deal to Covlngton
when two factions that have SO even-
ly divided the vote of the town that
elections were won or lost on tne
cast of two or three votes get TO-
gether and agree to work shoulder
to shoulder to Dut Covington on the
man in big letters We believe every
citizen of Covington will agree that
this is one of the happiest things
that has ever happened to- the town
For the benefit of those who were
!. not present at the meeting we pup
{ lish herewith the resolution unanl-
. mously adopted:
"Moved and seconded that 1t IS the
sense Of this meeting that the pres
ent administration be endorsed Tor
reelection and have the full support
Of those present
In behalf of every member OF the
Council and in full acknoWledsess
ment myself of the compliment OF
this unanimous expression OF conn
dence, and with appreciation OF the
uniting of the two factions, l am'

HOW MUCH DOES GOOD FARM

AND COMMUNITY?
(By A. F.. Briggs)

How much does good farming pay

| have been constantly maintaining
that lands in this parish should un-
der a good farming system produce
more than lands in any Northern
States. For several years the state
of Iowa has been taking an average
animal produce Of $50 to $40 per
acre for every acre in the state, goon
and bad. or course, the best lanus
in Iowa have produced much more
than that. But what would that
mean to ST. Tammany parish! An
annual income OF from fifteen to
twenty million dollars per year! we
ought to do much better than that
But if we did so we'll, it would mean
great prosperity for this parish.
Such return would pay many, many
times over the cost Of drainage
Drainage in ST. Tammany parish will
nay better than that on every we'll
managed farm anywhere in the
parish.
