St. Tammany Farmer D. . Mason, Editor . . . . . . p .wPI T. LACK OF .T'I INTION TO IMPORTANT MA'TTERS. W\e shall have to pitlid guilty to the same disinclination to criticism taat is the -ause of much of the failure to get results from undertakings for public beneit, and sometimes in private ventures. This fear of some thing that may work injury to some individual, even though the criticism may be deserved, is due largely to incomplete analysis of the principles goverliiig success ia ny undertaking. Efficiency is the password to suc cess. Anything that stands in the way of this 'should be removed, and its existence can only be determined by an effort to find it. St Tammany parish has just made an exhibit at the National Farm and Stock Show in New Orleans. It should have been an advertisement of the resources of the parish. It has turned out to be an advertisement of our slipshod way of doing business, in the case of those who have been interested enough to inquire regarding it. Otherwise no one may know, because there is no indication that it was an exhibit from any particular place. We are told that it has been dumped down in disorder and with out display and the judges had no notice that there was anything there in competition, .Ithough one of them stated to Captain Millar that one mel len would have won first prize, another second prize, and that the pota toes would probably have won first prize. We do not know who is responsible for the fiasco. We only know that some one is responsible and that the matter should be sifted. Another matter that needs attention is the potato kiln that was pre sented to us by Mr. Sullivan of the Great Southern Lumber Company. This was welcomed as a splendid opportunity of demonstrating the value of conservation to the people of this parish; to show the money profit of pursuing business methods in the handling of the potato crop. It is ly ing idle, without a potato in it. Yet there are some who say they have potatoes to put in it, but don't know how to take advantage of the storage offered. It was advertised in The Farmer that a certain week had been set aside for the purpose of filling it. If people cannot get into it who have potatoes ready, they have either failed to take the proper steps or there has been failure to provide the opportunity. We do not know which, but we suggest that the matter should be taken up and the fault should be corrected before it is too late to get any benefit from it. Somebady is responsible. The Covington Grocery & Grain Company is ready to buy five hundred bushels of sweet potatoes and to pay cash for same, and also to make ad vancements on a considerable amount of sweet potatoes if they are Ibrought in for storage. In fact, this company has shown remarkable in terest in the carrying out of any plan for advancing the interest of the parish, agricultural or otherwise. We have a number of 'people in the Association of Commerce who have likewise worked hard for the accom plishment of things beneficial. But nothing can be accomplished unless efticiency i+; behind the undertakings. FORl A WEAK STOMACH.

NEW LIST OF 50 ' MEN TO MAKE SEVENTEEN REQUIRED (Continued from page 1) ,Washington, Nov. 14.-The five classes into which 9,000,000 men registered for military duty-and those who are registered hereafter are divided, and the order in which they will be called for service was announced officially today in the pro vost marshal's questionaire which every registered man must fill out and file. The order shows some change from the tentative draft pub lished some time ago. Contrary to some published re ports, it does not exempt married men as a class, but does place mar ried men with wives and children far down the list of liables. In fact, the questionaire indicates that only men of the first class will be called to the colors except in the gravest emergency. The five official classifications of registrants follow: Class 1. (a) Single man without depend ent relatives. (b) Married man with or without children, or father of motherless children who has habitually failed to support his family. (c) Married man dependent on wife for support. (d) Married man, with or without children, or father of motherle-s children; man not usefully engaged. family supported by income inde pendent of his labor. (e) Unskilled industrial laborer. --Registrant by or in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made. -Registrant who fai:s to sub.:n questionaire and in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made. -All registrants not included in any other division in this schedule. Class 2. (a) Married man with children or father of motherless children, where such wife or children or such moth erless children are not mainly de pendent upon his labor for support for the reason that there are rea sonably certain sources of adequate support (including earnings or pon sible earnings from the labor of the wife), available, and that the re moval of the registrant will not de prive such dependents of support.

If a cogviction follows the indictment of the ac cused, then a further and additional reward of $50.00 will be paid the informer. T. E. BREWSTER, Sheriff of St. Tammany Parish. COTTON REPORT FOR ST. T.ALI MANY PARISH. Amite, La., Nov. 13, 191 7. St. Tammany Farmer, Covington. There were 262 bales of cotton ginned in St. Tammany parish from the crop of 1917 prior to October 18, 1917, as compared with 143 bales g:nned to October 18, 1916. J. A. VINNING, Special Agent. THE COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. The following report of the Cov ington High School has been made 'by State High School Inspector C. A. Ives: Covington High School. A general description of the build aig and equipment at this place wil: be found on page 10 of the Novem ber, 1916, issue of the Educationa: Bulletin. Since that report was written considerable improvement has 'been made in the Covingto"i High School, as will be noted below: $2400 is. being spe t in filling in, leveling and beautifying the school grounds; $400 was spent recently for laboratory apparatus; and a new department of domestic economy has 'been installed. These are the most important improvemnts noted here. Besides these, a number of smaller but important changes have taken place. Physical training for boys and girls is given this year the boys in one group in charge of the principals, the girls in ano:her in charge of the lady teachers. This feature of the work is very attrac tive to all the pupils; they like the exercise and the exercise is doing good, both from a physical and from a disciplinary standpoint. Another attractive feature is the school gar den, which was started this session. The school organization, discipline, and charcter of classroom work are all commendable features. The fac ulty is capable and industrious and consists of twelve teachers-four in the high school department and eight in the grades-Seventy-eight pupils are enrolled in high school grades and 319 in the lower grades. We were very favorably impressed wita the thoroughness exhibited by the principal in the matter of 'keeping a business-like office with full and ac curate records of all the work done by each pupil and records of all financial and other important mat ters connected with the school.

Men--Money--Munitions As related to success or failure in America's contribution to the war upon Prussian autocracy, has, in some measure at least, caused the paramount im portance of an adequate food supply to be overlooked. Napoleon is credited with the remark that "an army fights upon its stomach." The needs and demands of the present situation call not so much for price reg ulations as an enormous increase in the production of foodstuffs.
