H: MASON . . . . - dtor and Proprictow Entered at the Covington poetofee as Second-CIss Matter. EDITORIAL COMMENT BY D. H. MASON VOTE FOR THESE AMENDMENTS. The Industrial Canal has not been viewed with enthusiasm throughout the state. It has carried an expenditure of money far beyond anticipa tion, and is looked upon by many as an indiscreet investment; but it must be remembered that the millions invested in it are the millions of the people and the obligations incurred must be met by the state. It is our investment as well as an investment of the city of New Orleans, and the profit or loss in the venture will be shared by us as well as by that city. As a great port and distributing point New Orleans offers-acflities-for busi ness that brings large investments and attracts industrial ventures to the state. The advancement of the state is reflected in the city's growth and pruop'eri-ty -eve as -tnhe city's prosperity is- reflected In- that of -the state. We are interdependent and therefore should cbe interested, each in the progress of the other. After spending all this money it is discovered that the provisions under which lease rights are given leaves the lessees subject to a change in rent als at intervals in which greatly increased values may subject them to costs overburdening and not contemplated. The building of large and ex pensive plants on lands whose lease rights are thus handicapped by un certainty of cost may-hardly be expected. The constitutional amendment to be voted on November 7th relieves this situation and gives the Board of Commissioners the power to make leases for ninety-nine years. This is a necessary provision un the wisdom of the business men of- New Orleans and the state legislature. The city of New Orleans and the entire press of that city is supporting this amendment. It is said that a large eastern iron and steel company is ready to put a plant on the canal when this amendment goes into effect. In view of the situation, we believe this amendment (Act No. 73) should be voted for. * a * * at a * * * I * * Amendment No. 4 gives the right of the New Orleans Levy Board to build a sea wall or bathing beach on the lake front from West End to Spanish Fort and eventually to Seabrook. The citizens of New Orleans view this as an important improvement and it is said that-the engineers figure that the surplus over the total cost will be $1,144,411, due to the sale of reclaimed land, now under water and belonging to the state and which will be transferred to the Levy Board. No taxation is authorized in the amendment. This improvement will also be valuable in a sanitary way, as it will do away with mosquito breeding places. It is a municipal 'improvement that will be of great value to New Orleans, being self-sus taining and carrying no taxation, and the city press is urging the country not to overlook it when they vote next Tuesday. ------0--* SHALL WE GIVE UP OUR PARISH FAIR? With the aid fof the Houltons and wealthy progressive men of Hammond that thriving and well advertised town has built commodious quarters for the exhibits of the Florida Parishes Fair. Covington has viewed these efforts with admiration for the pluck and energy that has sustained them and Hammond has always had our best wishes for success. Covington has no wealthy people; no big institutions or commercial concerns that draw the attention of newspapers through advertising patronage or influence. But she has worked hard to make the St. Tammany Parish Fair a success, and in spite of all difficulties has a record in this respect that she is proud cf. The greatest ambition of St. Tammany has .been to make a creditable sgricultural display and she has worked year after year to this end, never but once having failed tp make it financially self-sustaining, when the flu epidemic made it impracticable 'to put on the fair. This year we had the b'est agricultural show of many seasons and other departments were creditable, most of them surpassing other years. The only failure -was the stock show, due to quarantine. We were somewhat surprised to notice in the Hamnond correspondence 'to The States that "St. Tammany did not do so well this year," while the attractions in Hammond would be the greatest ever staged, and St. Tammany would be invited to come intd the Florida Parishes Fair at Hammond. Anything St. Tammany can do to help Hammond make the Florida Parishes Fair a success we have no doubt she will do. St. Tammany's ex hibit at that fair this season captured a number of blue ribbons and a sweepstakes for corn, and we believe St. Tammany should exhibit at Ham mond every season; but we do not believe the farmers of St. Tammany parish will give up their parish fair to do so. It would be a foolish thing for St. Tammany, after all the years of hard work put into it, to break up our parish fair in order to exhibit at Hammond. We are always more than Lleased to see Hammond advertised and we have nothing but the very best of whishes for her success, but we are first in duty bound to look after the interests of St. Tammany. As a part of the Florida Parishes Fair our identity would 'be lost. The Florida Parishes Fair is always better known as the Hammond Fair. The date lines in the papers are 'flam mond." Everything in the fair is, incidehtal to Hammond. The finalt e sult would be indifference in St. Tammany parish and exhibits that would - -be no crhdit to us, btecause our farmers cannot go to Hammond I-n large an mbers. A few people from the towns might go, but not the farmers with their families as they come to Covington. We understand that some who have been influ ntial in keeping the fair going in St. Tammany have expressed a willingness to have Hammond,1 take it over. They are tired of giving their time to it. There is no doubt that a few people have worked hard to make 'the fair a success. It is their privilege to retire if they feel that the burden is too great. We have these changes constantly in associations and in business, but that does not signify that the associations or the -business must be discontinued. t We believe that any community'that has the ability to accomplish some thing under the guidance of one man has the ability to accomplish it under -thie guidance of another. If when one general fell the war was over, t It wouldn't be very hard to end wars. Where big financial interests control t things, the elimination of these interests may be fatal; but when it be comes merely a matter of loss of leadership or individual effort, a com munity would be in a-sad predicament if it could not survive the-loss, and t ;this does not mean that there should be any less appreciation and grati- a OFFICE CAT TRADE MARK BY JUNIUS COPYRIGHT 1921, BY EDGAR ALLAN M00S All the education in the world can't prevent a man making a fool of himself if he is determined to do so. There has been a great deal of agitation for the past few years anent a new motto for the coin of the realm. Personally, we have lean ings toward "Abide With Me." It's a good thing that most of the auto drivers on the roads are decent. The few who are not make trouble enough. A Matter of Diet. He: A thin clock has at last been placed on the market. She: How do they make clocks thin? He: The same way that they make people thin, but putting less inside of -them. Trouble With Wives. An eastern editor says that a man out West got himself into trouble by marrying two wives; A western edi tor replied 'by assuring his conteml porary that a good many men in that section have done the same by marry ing one. A northern editor reports that a number of his acquaintances found trouble by merely promising to mar ry, without going any further. A southern editor says that a friend of his was ibothered enough by simply being found in company with an other man's wife. "The toast was drank in silence," wrote the teacher on the blackboard. "James, correct that sentence," she said. James went to the board and scrawled, "The toast was ate in silence." About the worst penalty that could be put onto some birds would be to make them an honest living.

That's tire one thing you want to remember as you pick up the pen and look for the dotted line. Two French girls wanted to achieve modish slenderness and laced so tight that the undertaker soon had a job. This is another argument against the return of the stays that so many women so gladly discarded this last summer. Respect grandpa's memory forget his methods.

LEGION REPORTS SUCCESS AT -FAIR WITH CONCESSIONS. Clears About $75 And Relieved Fair Association of Running the Concessions. Robt. H. Burns Post of the Ameri can Legion reports a successful at tempt at running the dancing, candy and cigar concessions at the recent Parish Fair, and went over the top with a net profit of about $75.00. Every member of the Post was welt pleased with the results and were content in being able to assist the Fair Association in taking over some of the responsibility of operating these concessions. Buddies from all over the parish were generous in spending money with the loaal post concessions, all of which helped to make the affair a success. We hope that every buddy in the parish will join hands with the local post this coming year to help make this one of the largest and most ac tive in the state. "Join us, Buddy, we need your help." The Ladies' Auxiliary have hearty thanks and appreciation of the Post for the manner in which they work ed to make the affair a success. Somehow it brought back the days of 1917, when work, work, work for the soldiers was the 'vogue, and it seemed that every one was just as willing at the recent fair. We sin cerely thank you, ladies. 0. J. HEBERT, B. P. FONTAN, BRYAN D. BURNS, Committee. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD OCTOBER 27.
