then for getting together. Since
then We have come more fully to
realize the folly of our pettish local
antagonisms. Some of our delu-
sions are gone. We understand more
fully now that IL good is to come to
us, we must. ourselves create it.
No one town Or corner of the par
ish stands by itself. The good of
one is the good of all. It is Wea1i-
some to be >tricked by local poll
ticians whose capital in trade is
.ridicule or o:sparagement of some
other part Of the parish, and every
one Is tired of it. We know that we
have to get together and work to-
gether for the general welfare.
We must have st. Tammany
Parish Boosters Club, an organiza-
tion whose main function is propa-
ganda. II must be composed Of
hotel keepers, landlords, merchants,
bankers, landowners, and any others
who have. at heart a desire to boost
this parish tcr its actual merits.
Unfortunately propaganda has come
to mean only a pack of lies; but
this Is rot what we mean. We
think any advertisement which is
not truthful eventually does more
harm than it ever does good.
But half .he truth has never been
told about ST. Tammany parish
Most of us have some vague ideas
about the advantages of this parish
for a hea)th:'ll and delightful resi-
dence. These ideas are too vague
and indefinite to be of any value
for advertising purposes. We need
authentic records and proven cases
to back up our advertisements They

OF a Boosters Club TO get them AMI
to use them.
The objection is frequently mad:
to st. Tammany parish as health
resort that people here have only
one idea, and that is to give as little
as possible and stick the visitors
to the limit. OF course, some OF this
criticism reflects more discredit on
those who say it than on those they
condemn. Yet one seldom hears
any denial Of the charge. So the
criticism goe.; as true. Perhaps it
is partly tue. Anyway we look 1T
it, it indicates still another need for
a Boosters Club. We have to boost
for cooperation to welcome visitors,
to make them think well Of this
parish while they are here. We have

| said. "and for four months after
came to Washington never re-
mained seated in a car while ladies
were standing. But / quit it. They
don't even say Thank you"
Same old story you hear SO often.
One modification is that the rude =
ness and ingratitude of one lady
broke down the politeness of the
victim. This young man thought he
spoke truly, but he was mistaken.
Not once in ten times does a man
fail to be rewarded by a thank
you" The exception is not a suf-
ficient cause to Justify the discon-
tinuance of an act of politeness.
We do not follow that course in
other matters. II a man chances to
buy a tough beefsteak he does not
turn vegetarian. Besides occasion
ally a man is thanked so heartily
that it makes up for the time he is
slighted.
, One scorching hot day as ! came
out of the Union Station I saw A
lady carrying a very heavy suit
