A PALM BEACH COCOANUT.

A Palm Beach cocoanut on exhi-
bition at the st. Tammany Parish
Pair was presented to The St. Tam
many Farmer by Mr.. Lancaster
Prague, of Covington, who received
it from his sister, Mrs. William Cow
ington Williams, OF New Orleans. It
originally came from Legion head
quarters, Palm Beach Post No. IL,
West Palm Beach, Fla, and was ad-
dressed to Hanford McNider, Ma
tional Commander American Legion,
Grunewald Hotel, New Orleans, and
was ON exhibition during the con-
vention.
When we received the cocoanut
and heard the gurgle inside as we
shook it up, our first thought was OF
Jack Sheehan, and we wondered why
it was that revenue officers should
have doubted. But when we recall
ed the fact that it had passed thru
the hands of a Legion commander
at the Grunewald-then we knew 1t
was nothing more than a token OF
the wonderful industry and develop
ment of the good people of Florida.
We shall keep 1t on our desk ana
shake it once In while-and think
Of Jack Sheehan.

MIR. DOMERGU.E SAYS KEEP THE
FAIR GOING.

Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
l noticed the editorial in your last
issue of The Farmer, headed "Shall
We Give Up Uur Parish Fair?"
This, l believe, would be regretted.
1t, is true as you have stated that the
burden of management has fallen on
a possible few, which is, of course,
unfair, and I do not blame them for
wanting to get out of harness. But,
there is plenty of good material in
the parish that I feel would be will
ing to give their time and energy
to the management Of the fair.
sincerely hope that the good peo-
pie of St. Tammany parish will con-
tinue the fair as surely it has proven
a success in many ways. We now
have permanent buildings and plenty
of grounds and / believe that We
should utilize it so it would be en-
joyed all thru the year by the people
of the parish by having at different
times social gatherings. 1t could be
used as tourists camp, also.
OF course, Hammond has great
fair and they have spent a great deal
of money in doing what they did.
/ believe that we should help them
all we possibly can, but do not be-
slieve that we ought to give up our
fair. The showing St. Tammany
made at Hammond was very credit
able and I heard quite good many
nice remarks about the booth of St.
Tammany parish. If there Is any
thing I can do to help keep the St.
Tammany arish Fair going, I am at
your command.
With personal regards, I remain,
Yours very truly,
E. J. DoMERGUE.

Coyington, La, Nov. 13, 1922.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
Referring to the demonstration In
making cane syrup by G. F. Walton,
Jr., by the use of the Invertase Pro-
cess, wish to state that two days
are required for the completion Of
the demonstration since semi-syrup
must be prepared, say on the after
noon of the first day and allowed to
stand overnight with invertase, then
be finished to final density on the
second day.
The interested parties should let
me have their name and address SO
they will be notified just what day
the demonstration will start and at
what place or mill. They should be
present on the first day, and if they
cannot attend the second day the
samples of finished products can be
passed to them later. All that will
be done the second day will be to
cook the semi-syrup with the inver-
tase in it to the final density. One
can of syrup made from the mill USED
in the usual way and a can of the
invertase syrup is taken to Washing
ton for further studies.
Those attending the demonstration
will have ample time to talk to Mr..
Walton about the central syrup
plant owned and operated by the
Texas Farm Bureau Cane Growers
| Association at Lufkin, Texas, as well
| as go into all details as to how tC
use the invertase in making syrup
in our small mills.
If you want to attend this dem.
onstration please let me have your
name and address. All syrup max.
ers should attend.
Yours very truly,
O. G. PRICE,
County Agent.

Of 16 to 4.
The first game proved to the crowd
of spectators that it doesn't take
Drawn to play the game, for the
His were much lighter in weight,

and deserve the honors of the day.
Much to the surprise of the G. G.

the second game, the first half OF

Clark and Caserta as stars.

masses OF water below. Heralded by
the laundering roar Of thousand
breakers combined. the dreaded icial
wave was upon us at last. OF all the
horrors of this dreadful time. this
seemed the worst. Chained to the
spot, helpless to escape. with all the
preparations made which human skill
could suggest, we could but watch: ss..e
monster wave approach without the
sustaining help of action. That the
ship could ride through the masses Of
water about to overwhelm as seemed
impossible. We could only grip the
lifeline and walt the coming catas-
trophe.
With crash our gallant ship was
overwhelmed and buried deep beneath
a semi-solid mass of sand and water
For a breathless eternity we were
submerged: then. grooming in every
timber, the stanch old Wateree strug-
gled again to the surface, with her
gasping crew still clinging TO the life
lines-sume few seriously wounded
bruised, and battered; none killed;
not even one missing. A miracle 1t
seemed to US then. and as I look back
through the years ii seems doubly
miraculous now.
Undoubtedly our safety was due TO
the design Of the ship which permit
ted the water to run off the deck
about as II would from raft or fioa.-
ing plank.

THE ship was swept on rapidly for
