START COMMUNITY AND PARISH

It Now is the time for parish agents
and others interested in greater ag-

'of better livestock to begin the or
ganization Of community and parish
fairs, according to A. A. Ormby, fair
specialist of the louisiana State Uni

did beginning in many of the par
ishea last fell, the police juries and
the school boards will feel more ,fav-
orably disposed towards making ap-
propriations for premiums to be Of
fered the farmers and club members
than ever before. The community
agricultural fairs in the various par
ishes will liven local interest in this
valuable work and it is the purpose
Of the extension division of the Uni
versfty to begin early in perfecting
these community organizations. The
holding of community fair in a
parish will automatically result in
the staging of a prosperous parish
fair, and naturally result in greater
agricultural interest and better ex-
hibits at the State Fair to be held a.
Shreveport in October.

work in this State, it is going to be

Covington Members Listen
To Interesting Talk By
Secretary Wilson.
A BIG THING
FOR CONVICTION
Two Hundred Autos Will
Come Through Here
In October.

Mr.. Jack C. Wilson, secretary Of
the Mississippi Valley Highway AS
sociation, talked to members Of the
Covington club Of that Association 4.
meeting at the Southern Hotel last
Monday evening. Mr.. Wilson is not
only enthusiastic on good roads, but
he is a talker who can put his en-
thusiasm into words that sank deep
into your think tank and gave you
convictions that will stir you to ac-
ton, ii you are capable of action.
Mr.. Wilson's talk was convincing
because it was practical. His hum-
orous illustrations not only amused
you but convinced you by their evi-
IDENTIFY sound application to the SUD-
ject in hand. He showed where
good roads were saving the country
some five billions of dollars, and he
gave the figures on which the cost
was based per ton-mile. The great
difference in the valuation Of prop
erty, the increased population and
the improved intelligence and living
condition Of the farmers along the
line of the improved highways. He
told how the people Of Illinois, Ohio
and other states north of us were
anxious to visit us, and he had no
doubt that many of them would be
SO pleased with our opportunities
here and with our delightful climate
that they would make Investments
here.
He showed the great amount of
advertising we had already gotten by
the issuing Of maps showing the
route of the highway. People who
never heard of Covington before are
now looking it up in anticipation
that some day they will make the
trip through this section. In fac.,
there is to be big tourist trip
south in October, in charge of the
highway officials, some 200 auto
mobiles being already listed for the
trip. It will not be possible to 60
to New Orleans, as the connection
will not be made in time, but the
party will camp as near the city as
they can get, and New Orleans will
be invited to come out and see them.
Mr.. Wilson said that the road
would be the most perfectly marked
of all highways and the most con-
venient for the traveller. In few
weeks the markers would reach Lou
isiana. The marking has been given
out by contract, and the arrangement
for advertising has been so complet-
ed as to make the cost to the High
way Association negligible. In fact,
the expenses have been cut down to
a minimum. The only paid official
is Mr.. Wilson, and he gives his en-
tire time to the project for salary
less than he could earn in some other
occupation.
Mayor Badon thanked Mr.. Wilson
for his visit and for his very enter
tanning and instructive talk. He
promised Mr.. Wilson that the Coz
ington club would get busy and do
its share In helping the Highway AS
sociation to help us. The members
present very earnestly expressed
themselves as appreciating the bene-
fits the highway would be to us and
the necessity Of our: help in financ-
ing the publicity plans that were
now being carried out. The only
revenue of the Association is through
the dues of the associated clubs, and
not cent is being wasted.

BASKETBALL.

that St. Paul did not put up "a game

several communities have realized
the Importance Of cooperation and
are forming Farmers Commun ty

The main object and aim of these

which sessions the farmers discuss

the marketing Of their crops in large
quantities, having better and cheaper
means OF transportation and reach

Onward Community First To
Organize.
The Onward Community Farmers
Organization was the first community
to study and realize the absolute i'm
portance and necessity of such an
organization, and went into perma-
nent organization last Saturday, &C
cepting a constitution and bylaws
and agreeing to work under such,
knowing that lots Of community
work must be done and that if this
is plished it will only be
brought about by every farmer and
person living in that community be-
ing booster to that cause and

Folsom, W'aldheim and Pilgrim
Rest are the other communities that
will soon follow the footsteps of the
Onward community, and it will not
be very long before every community
or rural district will awake to the
value of organization in groups, to-
wards the ultimate aim Of a County
Farm Bureau in St. Tammany parish,
and not until then will the farmers
get the. protection and recognition
that properly is due them.

POMONA GRANGE TO
MEET AT EGG HARBOR

Atlantic County Pomona Grange, No.
Is, will meet in Red Mems Hall, Egg
Harbor City, on Saturday, Jan. 7, at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. There will
also be an open session at 8 O'Clock
in the evening, to which the public is
most cordially invited.
1t is expected that the record estab-
lished last January, of the largest
class initiated in the fifth degree since
the founding of Pomona Grange in At
lantic County, will be broken this
year. There will be a large volume of
important business transacted, which
is of vital importance to every Grang-
er in the county.
Some Of the things that the Grange
has done for YOU, Mr.. Farmer, are:
~ helped force the State police law
upon the statute books; (2) backed
the amendment of the game laws, so
that a thieving deer hasn't much more
right to your growing crops than a
thieving man; 60 aided in securing
favorable legislation, both State and
National, which has been of inestim-
able value to farmers during the de-
fiation period.
All members of subordinate Oranges
are entitled to attend the Pomona
meeting, and are urged to do so.
Changers from other counties and
States, who are in the county, will be
warmly welcomed. w. G. Frisbie, Sec
rotary.

THE DOOR SLAMS
ON HAPPINESS
POOR BLOOD MAKES

COME THE "BLUESs

Once the vigor of red blood be.
comes Slapped of it's strength, the door
to happiness is literally slammed.
WEAKNESS of body follows and it IN
failingly engenders depressed
thoughts. To be reserved and cheer
less becomes a habit. After a time
there is an almost filmy dimness in
the expression of the eyes and a pal
lor to the skin. Days seem dull and
dark and difficult. A sense of insult
ferable gloom %pervades the spirit.
Then it is that Guides Pepto-Man-
gan is the great help. 1t is a red
blood builder. 1t puts red into the
blood-increases the number of cor
puscles which makes blood rich and
red. When the blood is restored to
its natural healthy state, the sensa-
tion of w%ell-being returns. Instead of
shutting along carelessly, there is the
firm and springy step. the bright lus-
terful eyes, the clear complexion,
identified with the strength and vigor
of good health. The druggist has

and tablet form. Advertisement.

Men belong to the type they associ-

A beautiful day is the smile OF the

Some men have no bad habits and
not much else.

Convince three per cent OF the peo-
pie that a public measure is right and
it becomes a law, but the three per

He who has health has hope, and
he who has hope has everything,
which is just as true today, as when
sung by the Arabian prophet years
ago.
Did you ever go by your native
town on a fast train and fail to get a
view of it because of a cloud of steam
from the engine or a box car on a
siding?
Do you belong to the growing army
of believers in low shoes all winter?
When wooden stockings aren't quite
