In a letter to Mrs. J. C. Burns,
Mrs. Lydia \\'W~atiffe lolmosa W ites:
"May I congratulate you on your
great organization for St. Taminany
parish? Please get two more socid,
ties quickly, and then your appor
tionment being 42 will have fultiiled
your quota, and if you could man
age to get three more, you eould be
the first to go over the top."
The fact is, Mrs. Burns states, we
now have fifty. So we mu-t be first
over the top, now.

The Teutons have not shown the

Many of the fruits and vegetables of.

not. Her sons did not compose the

SCHOOL BOARD.
(Continued from page 1)
repairs necessary. We feel that r
time should be lost in taking up .t
work so that the repairs may b
started and completed during the
summer vacation.
Dear Mr. Lyon:-We have ih'i
day completed the details of the
general plan which we found it nee
essary to prepare from the measure
ments taken at this building last
week, and have compiled the cost of
putting this building in a good ser
viceable condition which we estl
mate in the vicinity of $6804.28.
In the main the work to be done
is as follows:
DANCING
At the St. Tammany Parish Fair
Grounds EVERY SUNDAY start
ing SUNDAY, MAY 5th.
Something doing from 2 p. m. to
12 p. m.
Dancing, Ball Games, Music, More
Dancing, Horse Races.
Restaurant and Refreshments will
be on the grounds.
Ragan Bros. BIGISIX PIECE OR
CHESTRA every Sunday.
Good Dancing Floor.--just as slick
as glass.
Horse Racing will be confined to
St. Tammany stock and owners.
All brick work to be repaired by
pointing up and relaying where
iund necessary.
All corners to be reinforced with
steel and concrete -so as to provide
against further settlement.
Remove toilets and lavatories from
the two toilet rooms, pave over the
floor openings so as to make service
able store rooms out of them.
Build two new toilets on a level
with that of the firts floor on either
side of the brick wall of the audi
torium, rear wing, and install there
in the present toilets, new urinals
and lavatories and connect the same
up with the present septic system
and putting the said system in per
feet order.
Cutting two new doors to lead to
said toilet rooms from the two oun
side lobbies at the auditorium, and
paving this floor.
Jacking up the present lintel
which is down, bricking the sameL
removing present lintels over arch
ed openings, corbelling up under
ends of the same and resetting.
Repair all cementing on the out
side of the building.
Reglazing wherever required.
Making necessary carpentry and
mill repairs.
Making necessary repairs to roof
and metal work.
Repairing end corridor windows,
flashing the same with the metal,
making same water tight and re
painting or revarnishing the same
where streaked or damaged.
Take down all loose plaster in
he building, replace same and re
point where plaster is cracked but
where solid.
Overhaul heating system and fur
nish and put on Hoffman automatic
air valves and make system tight
and put same in working order.
Furnish and install required new
radiation for the new toilet rooms.
We believe, as we stated before,
the above work will cost in the vi
cinity of $6804.23, and if done
should put this building in very good
condition.
Undoubtedly, as you appreciate it.
something should Ibe done to pre
serve the building against further
damage and it would be well that
specfieations be gotten out and the
plans prepared detailing this work
and bids asked for thereon as soon
as possible and contracts let so that
materials which may be required can
be on hand so that as soon as vaca
tion is reached the work may be
begun and finished without loss of
time during vacation.
As soon as you decide on the
course you wish to adopt herein we
shall be very glad to complete the
working drawings and specifications
and submit them to contractors for
their estimate.
Materials are constantly on the in
crease in price and it might be well
to delay action with a view of sav
ing what you can in the price of the
work to be done.
Yours very truly,
NOLAN & TORIRE.

$2019.51
As many of these schools do not
have special ,bank accounts, I have
placed the above amount in the ac
counts as indicated. I shall, how
ever, with your permission, see that
this money is spent for the 'proper
schools.
As you were unable to allow any
thing in your 'budget for school sup
plies, and as the Lacombe school had
,bills for wood and supplies, I have
paid from the general fund the sut,
of $5 to Mr. Ira Todd for wood.
and 5.75 to Dinkina Bros. for school
supplies. These amounts should be
deducted from School Land money.
I have placed the $67.49 for the
Sand Hill school in a separate ac
count and will keep it on interest for
that school. There was $345.56
that did not belong to any particular
school and has therefore been placed
in the general fund.
I would recommend that the
money received for the Ridge school
be used for painting the building
and that a committee be authoriz:ed
to advertise for bids on this work
at once.
I desire to report that I have se
cured the services of Mr. Jos. Bru
not, of Baton Rouge, to represent
the school board in certain school
land matters as directed ,by you at
your last meeting.
The suit against the New Orleans
and Northeasern 'Railroad Company.
decided upon some months ago to
secure the payment of taxes on about
half of the bridge across Lake Pon
chartrain has never been brought. I
feel that you should consult some
attorney with a view of etgering suit
to secure the ninth ward special tax
on this part of the railroad line.
As you probably know, an effort is
to be made at the coming meeting
of the General Assembly to secure
more funds for schools. I feel that
we should announce to ll the condi
tion of our :finances, which we know
to be such that if we do not receive
help we will be able to have only
four months of school from the gen
eral fund. I feel that we should ap
peal to our police jury to help us
in keeping the schools open, if the
Legislature falls to help.
We 'will surely have about half
of our schools closed and a shortage
of 25 teachers unless we can in
crease the salaries not less than ten
dollars each. No teacher should re
ceive less than $40 and that for a
third grade certflcate. Every line
of business requires more money
than last year.
For several months the average
attendance at Peace Grove school
W'as far below that average required
for two teachers. After giving the
patrons repeated warning of what
must come, I was obliged to remove
one teacher. This condition comes
every year and if the interest in
school matters does not improve I
shall recommend that we give these
people only one teacher. They do
not appear to care whether they have
one or two teachers and will not
have a child attend school if it does
not want to even if it would prevent
the loss of a teacher by so doing.
In closing, I beg to express my
thanks for your co-operation and
trust that it will not be withheld
from your Superintendent-whoever
he may be.
Respectfully submitted.

THRIF WILL WIN THE WAR.
President Wilson said, "I suppose not many fortunate by-products can come
out of the war, but if the country can learn something about saving out of the
war, it will be worth the cost of it in money and resources."
That thrift idea you've had in mind to practice in the dim and distant f~
ture-it's just the thing for thrift day. Start something-get .action--that's
what thrift day is for.
War times have made every day a thrift day in America. Open an account

impossible to distinguish betweed the singer's liv
