KARL LJ,KOHNKE
DIES AFTER A
LONELINESS

On Monday, February 7, 1921, the
town of Covington sustained the loss
of popular and leading young citi-
zen in the person Of Mr.. Karl ].
Kohnke, minute clerk of the Twenty
Sixth Judicial District Court.
Mr.. Kohnke was, in many<respects,
a man of useful talent and comes or
a family equally so on both sides.
HIS father was lne late DR.. Qu4tman
kohnke, who rendered New Orleans
and Louisiana one of the greatest
services it ever received by his work
n the determination Of yellow fever.
When Dr.. Kohnke retired from puD-
lie life he came to Covington with
his family in 1909, and died several
years later. -".~5.
Kari Kohnke, the Oldest of his two

ed at the Jesuits College in New Or
leans, and later graduated among the
first Of the students from the ola

His death came as the result of
an attack of influenza two years ago,
from which he had apparanely ralli-
ed. His funeral took place Tuesday,
February s, from St. Peters Catholic

er at St.. Joseph's Abbey. The ser-
vices at the grave were conducted by
Rev. Father John Burger OF St.
Peters Catholic Church, assisted by
Rev. Bernard Keating, of St. PauPs
College, and were of the most i'm
pressive witnessed here over the per-
son Of a layman, and bespoke the
high personal character of the la
mented young man.
The pallbearers were E. J. Fred
erick, A. D. Schwartz, H. J. Osten-
dorf, E. J. Foley, James Provost, DR..
j. F. Bouquoi. rs.

Losing Investment as Nom
Producing and Tax
Burdening.
REPRESENTATION
IS IMPRACTICABLE
Present Condition Will Not
Equal Ordinary Invest.
ment at 2 Per Cent
(By A. E. Briggs)

II tby a. T.. bIISSSJ
The owner of cut-over lands in this
parish, if he is exercising business
Judgment and squarely facing the
situation, has to reckon with these
facts:
Cut-over lands are an unproduc-
tive investment, yielding him neither
rent nor other income.
Their re-forestration is impracti-
cal, for continuing fires absolutely
prevent the growth OF new timber.
Non-prodlcing lands are losing
investment, for taxes soon eat up
the Investment,
If salea bic al all, the owner should
annually charge himself with inter
est on the ..mou.lt rea.izable, and
calculate that he must double the
selling price each ten years or less
to obtain ordinary interest on the
Investment.
That, as a matter of fact, cut-oyer
lands will not double in speculative
value every ten years.
That, if he is holding the land IN
the hope that oil may be "struck"
here, it is not even so good as 4
gambling proposition, for this is not
even wildcat oil territory at this
time.
1t doesn't require brains or bust
ness talent of the lowest order TO
find a better investment than unlm-
proved cut-over land. The savings
banks pay per cent per annum, the
u. S. postoftice per cent, Govern
ment Thrift Stamps per cent to
per cent. These are all paying in
vestments, any child can make them.
Unimproved cut-over land is los
ing investment.

CITIZENS DINE,
AT $40 PER FOR
THE STARVING
CHILDREN

The campaign for funds for the
European Child Welfare was given
a decided impetus last Friday night
at supper arranged for by Adrian
ID. Schwartz, parish chairman. i
A group of representative citizens
met to discuss over a light meal at
Gabe's Tavern, the question Of rails
ing funds to meet Covington's quota
in the state campaign for funds in
tended to relieve the destitute child
rem of Central and Eastern Europe.
A charge of ten dollars per cover
was assessed the guests. Mayor Ba-
don served as POSTMASTER. Among
those present were Rev. f. C. Tai
mage, E. G. Davis, A. D. Schwartz,
T. M. Burns, Jacob Seller, b. il.
Mason, A. r.. Mccormack, Jas. Con-
naughton, Felix Limongi, C. E.
Schonberg, P. B. Murphy, 3. Fried
lander and Frank Patecek.
Each member present was pledged
to match his plate donation with a
similar contribution from another.
A sum a little in excess of five hun
dred dollars was realized during the
past week from the Slidell committee
headed by DR.. John K. Griffith.
No drive for funds has been made
It does seem that the appeal is so
strong in human interest that re-
sponse to it should and will come
naturally from those who can be
brought to realize its serious nature.
Contributions not yet made should
be sent to Adrian D. Schwartz, parish
chairman, not later than February
14th, 1921.

REAL LESSON TAUGHT IN MAN O.
WAR RACE,
Exclusive Pictures of Great Contest
Prove That Stout Heart Wins.

Alike to the man who thrills at
the contest Of thoroughbreds and to
he who condemns racing as a sport,
the victory of Man o. War, the great
est runner in all history, over Sir
Barton, which is shown in t'The Race
of the Age" at Parkview Theatre,
to-day and tonight, there is strong
lesson to keep ahead"
It is the determination to pass
everything in front of him that Man
o. War owes his position as the
eighth wonder of the world. But
once in his career has he been beat
en-, and then by a fuke. On every
other occasion he has not been con-
tent until he has passed every other
horse and flashed across the wire
victor.
But once has he felt the touch Of
whip. Pure ambition to win, fixed
determ nation that he shall be the
victor, has brought him the position
he holds to-day after the greatest

A CORRECTION.

Pearl River, La, Feb. 8, 1921.
editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Dear SH:-I am writing you IN
regard to our school and basketball
team.
There was a mistake published in
your last issue of The Farmer, con-
cerning the basketball game played
at Pearl River, Feb. Sd.
The paper sated that the picked
team Of Hickory Creek was defeated
by the Pearl River boys, which was
a mistake for they did not play
against each other, but had boys OF
both teams on each side.
Yours truly,
r, N. APPLES.

DRAIN RICE FIELDS TO COMBAT
WATER WEEVIL.

Careful experiments have demon-
strated that drainage is the safest
remedy for the rice weevil. The
proper time to commence drainage
of the field is from to and one-half
to three weeks after the first food
ing, while the larvae is still young.
Drainage should continue for a
period of two weeks. A shorter
period of darinage will not kill the
larvae, and a longer period will in
jure the rice. Planters should not
wait until the rice begins to turn
yellow before commencing to drain.

thing, however, that must be watch

WE SPURN THEIR GOLD.
(By DR.. Stevenson)


Hundreds of people are begging us
us for homes. The demand comes
from buyers and renters, and is for
small modern cottages and cheap
suburban farms. Our supply is en-
tirely inadequate. Why our monied
people are deaf to their cry can only
be explained by their natural leth-
argy, and the many opportunities to
make money.
Richard and Riggs report several
efforts to get fnanciers to build
bungalows, and that their plans have
collapsed when prospects seemed
bright. Our Building & Loan AS
sociation is inactive. Elsewhere
these associations make money, and
serve most useful purpose. Here
it fears to do. In it's own incompre-
hensible1 language, it's resources
would soon Disappear if it started
building.
Why do successful men like Bour-
geois and Bulloch build-and plan
to build again-if it were not profit
able? Do I build at the rate of a
building every two months for glory
alone?
Smaller In size, but bigger in
future possibilities, are the Boy
Scouts of New Orleans, who seek our
lands. These Scouts want a perma-
nent camp here. Shall their cry 90
unheeded? They ask not charity,
and they spend large sums, and
bring many. people, and insist that
it will be wise policy to help them
to get suitable site at a minimum
price. Another opportunity to in
crease our prosperity is knocking at
our door.
contest in all history at Kenilworth
Park, Windsor, Ont, for the biggest
purse ever offered for contest OF

cept those employed in photograph

Winooski. Oct. 22-Qaitc dis
astrous fire occurred last evening at
Malletts bay when the camp Of VIII
liam Il. Mongeon of Union street was
burned. The origin oftthe fire was the
explosion of lamp which was in the
front part Of the camp. Mr.. Mongeon,
who has been at the bay for a few
DAYS fishing, with another companion,
was preparing supper when the explo-
sion occurred. His companion was out
on the lake fishing.
While preparing the supper. Mr.
Mongeon heard the noise, but thinking
that it was his companion coming in,
did not notice anything unusual. un-
iii he turned to the door of the din
ing room. Then he was confronted
with d mass OF flames which came
pouring into his face. He just barely
.aped without injury with the excep-
tion Of a slight burn on one of the
hands.
The camp, which is considered one
OF the finest at the bay, was com
plete loss, the amount OF which could
not be estimated last evening. Mr..
Mongeon also lost suit OF clothes
and pocket book besides a gun and
some cartridges which exploded short
