Number Of Funerals Sink
Deep Into Money In
Hands of Legion.
LECTURE BY
HoNoRED SOLDIER
Scenes Of War To Be Pic
tured In All It's Hor-
rible Details.
'Covington, La. Aug. 2, 1921.


Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
The Legion needs funds Three
funerals in two weeks have reduced
the treasury surplus to dangerous
ly low level. In addition we wish
to help the local civic betterment
societies as far as it lies within our
power
We have therefore decided to give
an entertainment on Tuesday, ANg.
9th, at the Parkview Theatre. The
performance will start promptly at
S:15 p. IN.
There will be motion pictures, a
comedy and a news weekly. But the
chief part OF the entertainment will
be a lecture by Lieut.. Edgar Boulig--
ny Lieut. Bouliony was with the
French Army, serving with the For
eign Legion and the Lafayette Esca-
drille until the entry of America into
the war. He then transferred to tho
American Army, serving in the ava
ton section He has been several
times decorated for gallantry in
action.
The lecture will be illustrated with
official French slides, and will show
war as it really is. 1t will show war
as red, gruesome monster. It will
show the devastation of the fairest
parts of France. 1t will show the
windrows of dead 1t will in its way
serve to make war more abhorrent,
and will not be in vain.
We can sincerely advise that young
children and persons with super
finely squeamish feelings remain at
home, as war is war, and we will
show it as it is.
We also take this method Of ask
| ing the people of Covington to help
the Legion in this way. We do 40,
like to come to you and ask for con:
tributions, but we do ask, if YOU
want to help us, to give what vol
lhink you can afford for the ticket
If you give us more than 35c, the
Legion will consider itself YOU
debtor, and will thank you from tn,
bottom of our hearts
| With best wishes, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
| BENZ. w. MILLER,
] Commander.

Corporal Lawton A. Fendlason was
with the American Expeditionary
Forces in France, having sailed June
%, 1918, and being assigned to the
139th Guard Company, u. S. G. He
was honorably discharged Nctober
10, 1920. A few weeks ago he ac-
cepted a position with the N O. G.
N. Railroad Co., working with the
train crew. He was popular with
the crew and faithful to the COM
pany in the discharge of his duties.
While coupling a freight car he
slipped and fell beneath the wheels,
which severed one leg close to the
body. He was taken to the Jackson,
Miss, hospital, near which town the
accident occurred, and died Friday,
July 20, in spite Of the best Of medi-
cal skill. He was 20 years IL
months and 20 days of age
Engineer H. M. Cooper, of Var
nado, brought the body to Folsom
on a special train and the funeral
took place from the Fendlason home

made in the cemetery near Folsom.
This was the first military funeral
conducted in the Second Ward. The

sounded church call, taps, and play
ed the military out of the inclosure
at the grave, after which the church
service took place, in which Rev. D..
A. Booth officiated The firing
squad used side arms. The intona-
tion of the guns over the body in the
grave, the sounding Of the bugle, the
tense attitude of the great thr0rg
about the grave, ell bespoke the
solemnity of the occasion and the
trying moment when those departed

MADISONVILLE MOVIES FROM
REAL LIFE.
(By Prof. Roland Morgan)

We regret the loss to our little
city of Mr. T. V. Heughan and Ianl-
ly. Mr.. Heughan for many years
served as general superintendent OF
the Jahncke Ship Yards at Madison
Vile. Through his genius in marine
construction the large ships built at
this plant were successfully brought
to Mississippi River. Mr.. Jahncke
recognizing his sterling worth and
capabilities placed him in an execu-
tive position, which necessitated his
moving to New Orleans. Mr.. Hengh-
an was one of our most popular aid
progressive citizens. The social circle
of Madisonville sadly misses MS
beautiful and amiable daughters.
Some Of the girls certainly are griev-
ing. for Lawton (knowns as Red y.
Red and his little Ford were quite
popular Uh huh.
Madisonvilie has been doing some
nifty ball playing this season, and
that aint alI-they are going to keet
it up.
Sam is on the sick list, suffering
with ground-itch behind his ears
The dance for one-legged men and
cross-eyed women given by the ba "a :
headed bachelors at the Heathens
Hall for the benefit of boW-iegget
babies, was a hopping aHalr tie
freshments were served by left-hand-
ed ladies. Tongue-tied Tommie sang
solo, music rendered by the Jews
Harp Jazz Orchestra.
The charming Misses Holly have
returned from vacation spent IN
Texas. Glad to see them again.
That road to, the lake-What
about it?
Mr.. Henry Harmon came to Maci-
sonville two months ago physlca4
wreck from Indigestion. and after
drinking the pure sparkling ice cold
artesian we'll water here he has re-
turned to business convinced that he
owes his life to this beautiful 5ift

sonyille, you will miss treat in

Drink hearty!
WHY suffer from heat? Come to

Only two miles to the cool lake bath.
Summer days may please the lady
in a hammock, cool and shady, but

envy the polar bear and Eskimo with
their house of ice and streets OF

All night long l moan and weep, toss

as blazes in my shack. Ice cold pop
