Mr.. Emile Sngletary, Pearl River,
Louisiana. ~
Dear Sir:-Your letter Of yester-
day received.
Inclosed find information on the
distribution of Picric Acid.
We would be glad If you could
send us the names of farmers who
most likely would use the explosive,
as the time has come when it can be
employed to the best advantage and
mots economically.
I wish you would read carefully
the sheets I send you SO that no de-
lay be created by errors.
assure you that on our part we
will use all diligence, and that all
correspondence will he attended to
promptly.
Yours very truly,
w. r. PERKINS,
Per l.. E. Perrin.
Picric Acid Distribution to Farmers

the plan by which the farmers VIII

and ditch blasting.
The Picric Acid, in bulk, is given

cases of 100 lbs, t. o. b., six Co.
cents per pound.

ders. taking care of cars at point OF
destination, ETC., one cent per pound
Total for material, cents pei
pound, or 81 per case Of 100 pounds
3. Freight at carload rate te
nearest point of destination, approx
mately $3.50 per hundred.
4. For caps and fuse, based OF
the average necessary for stumI
blasting per 100 pounds case,
wholesale price delivered prepaid a
same point as the explosive, abou
1hc per pound Of explosive.
The total cost, ready for use, vii
probably be under 171ac per pound
| less than half the price OF dynamic

l,attempt to furnish caps, wire ami
electric detonation for explosive
The orders for Picric Acid ditchinf
will be filled and delivered as fo1
stump blasting, but only information

MRS. .COLTORA TAKES OVER
CENTRAL HOTEL.

After making the Central Hotel a
popular resort, Mrs. Coltora found
her time SO occupied with other busi-
ness that she gave it up. She now
announces that she will again take
charge Of. it and extends an invita-
tion to her former patrons and the
public, with the assurance that they
will find both the service and culi-
nary department fully up to the
high class she has always main
tanned.
St. Tammany farmer., 1921-11-12

little Belgium alone stood the first
shock, while France, England and
Russia made ready. Due to the tra-
ditional bravery of this tiny nation
| the German was foiled.
The story of the long war, the
defalcation of Russia, the entrance
Of Italy, and the collapse of Rumania
are too we'll known to all of you for
me to touch upon them here.
Just when the night was darkest,
just when hope had begun to vanish,
| the oldest child of liberty-your
country and mine-came into the
fray, bringing new hope and cheer
to men who fought with their backs
TO the wall.
| Triumphant victory perched upon
| the banners Of right, crowned our
arm with an imperishable wreath of
laurel.
That brings us to to-day, when we
are assembled to give thanks to God
| for our victory.
But in celebrating our victory, let
us not overlook the brave men liy-
| ing and dead, who have gloriiied this
day far, far above our power to add
or to detract. Let us give a thought
to our brave comrades who are
peacefully asleep forever. Part o.
the price that we paid for victory.
Let us think of them always in the
words of Fitz-Green Hallech: For
they are Freedom now, and flames,
some of the few immortal names that
vert not born to die
We have not forgotten our COM
rades, the little green tents where
they sleep are coveerd with flowers
to-day. We can never, and will
never forget them.
Further, let us not. forget the men
who went forth, proud and straight
and strong, to do battle for us-men
who creep forlornly about blinded,
crippled, manned and torn. That Is
another item that We must consider
in the price of victory,
| It remains for us only to take >ln-
creased devotion to the cause Whick
they loved we'll enough to give their
lives for.
We must believe in and glorify the
glorious future of our country. we
must love her as much as they loved
her We must at all hazards keep
the torch of life and love aglow.
And now as a concrete evidence OF
the love that we bear our departed
comrades, we scatter these few bios
SONS on the path, down. which we
carried one comrade, for whom oul
post of the Legion was named, to his
last resting place.
Please, my dear friends, when you
leave this place, bow your head rev
erently and pray to God for the sue,
cess of the pending Disarmament
Conference, SO that our children may
be spared the horrors that this gen
GRAFTON saw.
In honor of our glorious dead, lei
us all face the west and stand foi
one minute with bowed heads, III
silent prayer
; The pupils then sang "The Sta1
Spangled Banner"
At five minutes to elevn o'clocf
Lieutenant Miller asked all to face
the west with heads bowed and tt
offer two minutes Of silent prayer
for our soldiers and the success O
the Disarmament Conference.
Lieutenant Bryan D. Burns head
ed the school in cheers for cur sue
cess in the war and the curblng O
the unrighteous ambitions of Ger
man kaiserism.
: Lieutenant Miller then closed th'
ceremonies with thanks to th;
schools and the business men TO
their participation in the celebra
ton of Armistice Day.
