There will be a Farm Bureau

ton on June Fl, 1922, at 10 a. y
m. for the purpose of adopting
a charter and electing perma- *
nent officers. All members of s.
the St. Tammany Farm Bureau
are requested to attend.
Yours very truly,
o. G. PRICE,
" County Agent.
Mr.. H. F. Kapp talked American
Farm Bureau to the farmers at the
meeting held at the courthouse last
Saturday. 1t was one of the most
Interesting addresses that the people
have had the pleasure of listening to
on subject that is Of vital import
ance to the farmer. Mr.. Kapp is
impressive because he is earnest and
honest in his expressions. He made
no false promises, but he proved his
points by showing what had been
accomplished in cooperation and
marketing in the various states. He
is dirt farmer himself and speaks
from practical experience, having
started on the farm at II years OF
age when farm movements were in
their infancy-when the grange ana
other farm associations failed be.
cause they had not a nationwide or
ganization, wide cooperation and
market control.
Mr.. Kapp said that Texas had
signed up for fifteen millions worth
of cotton, Arkansas three millions
and Mississippi two millions, besides
contracts signed in other states. He
said the interest of the farmers in
lands and improvements amounted
to eighty billions Of dollars, which
was more than all the banks and
railroads and steel interests put to-
gether. This immense sum was in
comprehensive to him, but it show
ed what strength was in the hands
of the farmer if he but took advant-
age of it.
Quite number of rice contracts
were signed up in st. Tammany par
:sh and the next move would be to
ign up the sweet potato farmers.
Mem mberships were taken at the varl-
Gus community meetings throughout
the parish. 1t is thought that soon
st. Tammany will be .solidly organtz-
ed and that contracts may be signed
for beans, tomatoes and tother truck.
These must be separate contracts and
not combined, and the contracts must
be large enough to ship in carload
lots. Next year will show the farm
er better prepared to take advantage
of marketing contracts.
We regret that we have not space
to go further into Mr.. kapp's ad-
dress. 1t was interesting and cover
ed Farm Bureau work thoroughly.
After the speaking a committee on
Farm Bureau organization was. ap-
pointed to prepare constitution and
bylaws. 1t will report at the meet
ing to be held in Covington June IL,
at 10 a. m. This meeting would
have been called earlier, but 1t was
desired to get notice Of the meeting
in The Farmer so that every farmer
might see it.

CHARGE LESS RENT
FOR MILL HOUSES
Manhasset Mfg. Co. Reduces
Charge For Tenements
Following Wage Cut

Lower rents are being charged by
the Manhasset Manufacturing Com
pany for all of the tenements the con-
Germ owns, a substantial reduction
having been placed in effect following
the cut in wages at the mill. The slic-
ing of the rent charge has been re-
ceived by occupants of company
houses with distinct pleasure. for TO
them il represents a reduction in the
cost Of living on one important item,
and matches, in measure, their les
sened earning capacity as governed
by their employment at the Manhasset
mill.
The company has reduced By so
cents a week the rents of the major
ity Of is tenements. which heretofore
have brought from 1925 to $500 a
week. The reduction in rents charg-
ed for the older houses. which have
low rentals anyway, amounts to rs
cents a week. It is estimated roughly
that 81 900 has been cut from the in
come Of the company tenements by
the reduction just placed in effect.

DEPUTY CHIEFS TO
BE SWORN SOON
Fire Department Troubles Are
Smoothing Out Gradually
As Result of Conferences
Look For Truck Quarters on Provi-
dence Street

The situation in the local fire de-
partment Is beginning to bear more
and more Of a resemblance to the con-
ference which has just closed at Wash
ington. When the big guns arrived in
Washington in November. they all had
very decided views on certain sub
jects which affected their individual
national interests. Here in town,
when the election last December was
over, the new council entered into
office with two opposing and very de-
cided views regarding the personnel
and management of the fire force. At
first there was slight show of arma-
ment on both sides. Then the holy
blessing of talk fell on the council and
through conference and debate and
compromise. the fire department
question began to be settled.
OF course. it may be a bit early to
say that the affairs of the department
have been tremendously settled, but
progress is reported, and the very fact
that there has been next to no public
discussion of the departments affairs
is looked tpon as healthy indication
Of progress.
The rumor that philias Cloutier and
Alphonse Dumas. who were appointed
deputy chiefs at the first meeting of
the new council. had not been sworn
into office and would not be. is said 70
have had foundation of fact. But
all this Fact has given way to another
report that they have been sworn in
by Mayor Macdonald. and the report
would be confirmed IL Archie" were
not the most elusive person in the city
of Putnam. The Patriot can never
find the mayor when he's needed. or
else there would be more definite in
formation regarding the Gloutier-Du-
mas situation.
Also, well grounded on fact. comes
the news that the council has come to
the conclusion that the situation of the
the station on Smith street is unsuita-
BILE to the uses Of the hose company.
Therefore an effort Is being made to
find suitable quarters fpr the fire
truck that is to be returned TO the
north end in Providence street. So
far such quarters have not been
found.
All of these arrangements and all
Of this progress indicates the value Of
talking thing over. That the fire de-
partment fight was to be one of the
chief excitements Of the present local
administration was freely predicted
before the present council went into
office. IL was to be war to the death
between the two factions in the city
that have so unfortunately developed
in the past two years. But calm talk
and conference and discussion have
cased over lot Of humps and the fire.
eaters and iire-fighters who wanted to
prolong the row are being gradually
eliminated and disappointed. Har-
mony is the word and ample fire pro-
lection the aim.

Deny Petition of Munroe and

Station
Peter A. Gardner and Charles l.. Tor.

The opening Of the eity's campaign
against gasoline filling stations. stu

cision Of the common council. NJ the
meeting Tuesday night, to deny the
petition Of Munroe & Brown, School
street. to continue operating gas
filling station by which an automobile
stops at the curb to receive its supply
Of gasoline.
Mr.. Brown OF the petitioning firm
was present at the meeting. and was
represented by Attorney Eric IL. John
son, who voiced arguments favoring
the granting of the permit. The pc
tition was denied on the grounds Of
safety to the public. i being felt by
the highway committee Of the eoun-
ell, that School street, not being a
wide street, anyway, source of dan
ger was created when cars stopped at
the curb to receive a supply of gaso-
line, and if by eliminating the filing
station this danger can be asserted,
then the thing for the council to do
was to deny the petition. which Incl
dentally has been before the old and
he new council for several months.

the matter until some action lust had

HYDE SMITH UNHURT
In AUTO ACCIDENT
Car Skids Backward Down Oak
Street and Hits Stone
Wall
Fortunately Machine Does Not Plunge
10 Feet Into School Yard

With his automobile resting preear-
iously at 50 degree angle on
stone wall on Oak street. at the rear
of the Israel Putnam school. Hyde
Smith, proprietor of the Bradley The
atre, yesterday Thursday noon re-
allied not only the sensations attend
ant upon an automobile skidding
backward down a steep hill, but felt
the thrill of facing unknown dangers,
perhaps death, that might have result
ed had his machine not come to rest
on the stone wall and plunged over to
the ground distance of about 10
feet Very fortunately Mr.. Smith es-
capped unhurt, but his car was extens-
lively damaged. but not so much as one
might expect, considering the eireum
stances.
Mr.. Smith was on his way home to
lunch and had driven almost to the
top of the Oak street hill, when his
car started to skid on the thick coating
Of ice that had not been melted by the
moderate weather of late Vigorous
application of the brakes had no eff
feet, as the tires were without chains
As the car went down hill it gathered
speed. and to say that Mr. Smith was
unnerved by what was happening TO
his car and himself. would be putting
it mildly. The machine was travelling
too fast for him TO leap out
Close by the stone wall at the rear
Of the schoolhouse. Mr. Smith spun
the steering wheel in an endeavor to
bring the wheels in contact with
bare strip Of ground In flash the
car had turned at right angles TO the
roadway, and hit the stone wall broad
side The two wheels on that side
went over the wall, and it looked for
a moment as if the machine would go
entirely over and drop 10 feet TO the
ground Sections of underparts of
the machine, however. became caught
in jutting stones on the wall and stop
ped the car when il was about half
way over the wall.
Mr. Smith was so stunned that he
was unable TO move, Tor things not
only happened quickly, but ended
abruptly. In few seconds. however,
he had opened door Of the coupe
ard Jumped to the ground, unframed.
Men from a. Robitaiileis garage
lacked the car up and in short time
had il back ON the road.

PAY POLICE FOR
ALL EXTRA TIME

Pay for Putnam police officers for
overtime and extra services, will prob
ably be a reality in the not far dis
tant future. Prosecuting Attorney
John F. Carpenter appeared before
the city council at the meeting Tues
day night and recommended the
changing of the present city ordinance
es concerning the police, so that the
city will be enabled TO compensate Of
ficerS for the hours of extra service
they are called upon TO render from
time to time. The business for such
a course is recognized by most Of the
aldermen, and it is anticipated that
the ordinances viii be altered by vote
Of the council at future meeting.

PUBLIC MAY USE
HIGH SCHOOL GYM

Because the Putnam school COM
mittee has received so many requests
for use Of the high school gymnasium
by organizations not connected with
the schools, the board has thrashed"
the matter out, and has decided TO
permit general use Of the gym, under
certain conditions. These are that
the person or organization obtaining
permission to use the gym will pay
for light and janitor service; that no
admissions will be charged, and that
there shall be in attendance super
visor approved by Supt. Of Schools
Ernest c. Witham. Sanction Of use
Of the gym also depends on whether
such approval will interfere with reg
ular school activities.
