REPORTS OF SHERIFF
AND TREASURER
List of Bills Approved and
Other Proceedings of
the Meeting.
Spanish influenza has become epi
demic throughout the United States,
and we are experiencing the same in
convenience that followed its advent
in Europe. In some sections it has
proven quite fatal, while in others
it has been of a comparatively mild
form.
It has hindered the mobilization of
troops and has slowed up the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive. Schools, thea
tres, churches, barrooms and public
places have been closed and the gath
ering of crowds prohibited. But this
conditions is not expected to continue
long.
St. Tammanyparish has also come
in for its share of affliction. Siidell
has suffered quite serious inconveni
ence but the mortality thus far is
said to be very small. The principal
suffering is from inconvenience in
business. Five of the six tele
phone girls have been stricken and
the service has been very difficult.
The remaining operator has continu
ed steadily at work.
Covington, Slidell, Mandeville,
Madisonville, and other towns have
taken the precaution of obeying the
order of the State Board of Health,
closing schools, churches, shows, etc.,
while care has been taken to instruct
those of the rural districts in the,
methods of preventing spread of the
disease.
In Covington, the mayor, members
of the board of health, superintend
ent and principal of schools, and
the Community Council of Defense,
talked to the pupils of the public
schools before dismissing them, giv
ing instructions as' to what woulf be
required of them. It was especially
impressed upon them that they were
not to go into the streets unless on
necessary business, but were to re
main at home as much as possible.
Every precaution has been taken
to create a feeling of public safety.
Officers have been stationed at the
'post office and only a few are allow
ed to enter the building at a time.
Formerly the office was crowded to
suffocation during distribution of
mail. The move-on ordinance is
also being enforced so that crowds
may not gather on the streets.
No one should expectorate on the
sidewalk. Anry one doing so is apt
to be arrested.
It is reported that Slidell has 300
cases and Bogalusa 1500. If this is
true, Covington is very lucky with
its 22 cases.
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, Spanish influenza has be
come epidemic throughout the coun!
try, and under crowded conditions is
rapidly spreading and in some sec
tions attended by large mortality;
and,
Whereas, it is advised by the State
Board of Health that measures be
taken in all localities to keep the
disease in control and prevent its
spreading, it being directed that
churches, schools, theatres, picture
shows, and all public places where
there are large congregations of peo
ple should be closed and that people
should be prevented from gathering
in crowds.
Therefore, while Covington has
but a few cases of the disease at
present, in view of the fact that the
prevention of the disease becomes
absolutely a war measure and of
great necessity, considering the ship
building interests of the Government
in St. Tammany parish, it is deemeJ
advisable, in conformity with the
opinion of the Board of Health of
Covington and resident physicians of
the Medical Society, to issue this my
proclamation, That all schools, Prot
estant and Catholic Churches, and
picture shows be closed until further
notice, and that crowds be prohibited
from gathering in the streets or in
public buildings, and more especially
during the arrival and distribution
of mail at the post office.
And it is further advised that
children be kept at home and off
the streets as much as possible, and
that in case of colds or other symp
toms that might occur in grip or in
fluenza a physician be immediately
summoned.
Given under my hand and official
seal of offlice this 9th day of October.

SHERIFF BREWS
TER SERIOUSLY
ILL AT HOME
Sheriff T. E. Brewster has been
quite ill at his residence on Nine
teenth Avenue, in Covington. His
condition was so serious at one time
that fear was expressed as to his re
covery. Later ht1 was said to have
improved considerably and there was
a brighter atmosphere around the
home where so many of his friends
kept in constant communication wjbh
the family.
Drs. Gautreaux, Bulloch and Bou
quoi have been in attendance. Se
curing the services of a skilled nurse
has been difficult, by reason of so
many being called to duty during the
influenza, but this need is now sup
plied.
Mr. Brewster was anxious to see
his son, John Brewster, who is sta
tioned at the military camp in New
Orleans, but orders had to be obtain
ed from tWashington before a fur
lough could be obtained. He is now
at home. Mr. Brewster's brother,
Dr. L. A. Brewster, of New Orleans,
is also with him.
Lines of automobiles in front of
the residence testified to the solici
tation of his friends, and while the
doctors would allow no one in the
room, the large front gallery was oc
cupied by groups who silently wait
ed for better news. It is believed
to-day (Friday) that Mr. Brewster's
rugged constitution and determina
tion will carry him through safely.
Acute Bright's disease, with com
plicated heart trouble, is the cause
of his illness.
CURB MARKET PRICES SHOULD
CONFORM TI) THE PIOCES
SCHEDULED ON BOARD.
There has been some complaint
that the prices at the curb market
are not uniform and in accordance
with instructions of the management.
This is a matter of importance to
patrons of the market, which of
course means that it is of import
ance to the farmers also. If a regu
lar board schedule is maintained the
patrons of the market know, before
they start from home just what the
things they want will cost and can
arrange their expenditures for the
day in accordance with their eco
nomic plans. In this way patrons
of the market are held together and
farmers know just what they may
expect to receive for produce.
If prices are not right, then a coun
cil should be held and the prices
fixed so that a reasonable profit may
be made. Patrons certainly should
not object to this. It is a protection
to them as well as to the farmer.
both, at the discrition of the Court.
Provided, that in imposing a jail
sentence, the Court may, if it sees
fit, condemn the convicted person to
work upon the public streets of the
tofwn.
Section 4. Be it further ordained,
etc., that this ordinance shall take
effect from and after its passage.
Adopted Oct. 10, 1918.

CONSERVATION
ORGANIZATION
STARTED
State Forester R. D. Forbes, of
the Conservation Commission, held a
meeting in Covington to organize a
Florida Parishes Association to pre
vent woods fires, preserve standlug
timber, protect farms and ranges,
an' ddo other things in the interest
of conservation.
Interested citizens from various
parts of the parish were .present andi
quite a number spoke on the subject,
the general sentiment being that the
matter was important and should be
taken up in a way to bring results.
The meeting was opened by Harvey
E. Ellis, who explained the object
of the meeting and introduced Mr.
Forbes.
The following letter from Mr.
Johnson, of Bogalusa, who took an
active part in the meeting, will ex
plain what was done:
Bogalusa, La., Oct. 7, 1918.
At Covington on the above date
a very. important meeting of repre
sentatives from nearly all the Florida
Parishes was held in the courthouse
to consider ways and means looking
towaFd the peRection of an organiza
tion of the citizens of the piney
woods section, especially of the Flori
da Parishes, to co-operate with the
Department of Conservation in the
state with the object in view of con
trolling as much as practicable the
usual annual forest fires.
This meeting was called by the
Department of Conservation througa
R. D. Forbes, State Forester.
The meeting was informal and en
thusiastic. Everv one present seem
ed very much impressed with the
untold damage caused by permitting
the destructive fires to .run at will
and Indiscriminately and converting
into ashes, not only a great deal of
useful timber, fences, houses, barns
and bridges, but destroying each year
ev(erything which nature has grown
and nature intended to decay and go
back to Mother Earth in order to
keep our soils renovated and fertile
as well. It seemed to be recognizel
at this meeting tliat a great goon
can come to our country through
forward-looking, co-ordinatinv, ef
fective, systematic and businesslike
effort in order to as much as possible
and practicable give nature a chance
to do for us that which we are un
able to do fo rourselves, to-wit: Re
storeour run down soils, by sup
plying the much need humus, there
'by giving us more nutritious grasses
and herbs and growing more wood
and trees.
At this meeting temporary organi
zation was perfected and H. B. Pru
den, of Covington, was elected tern
porary chairman and J. K. Johnson,
of Bogalusa, temporary secretary.
A committee of two was appointed
from each of the following named
parishes, St. Tammany, Washington,
Tangipahoa, Livingston an.d St. Hel
ena, and this committee will meet
in Covington on Saturday, October
12th, in order to provide ways and
means and make suggestions for
permanent organization.
It was thought that this is a work
that all good citizens will like to
I co-operate in and the local press
throughout the district is especially
Invited and requested .to gie0 it as
I much publicity as possible.

The above is the picture of Max

GERMANY BEING
DRIVENTO, OWN
TERRITORY
Throughout the week the allied
forces have been adavncing steadily
and Germany is being driven back
into her own territory. As she re
treats the torch is tbeipg applied and
she is destroying everything she can.
The evening papers ahve the fol
lowing telegram:
Amsterdam, Oct. llth.-Emperor
William has summoned the sover
eigns of all the German federal states
to Berlin for a conference before an
swering President Wilson's note, aso
cording to a Cologne dispatch. Such
a conference in unique in the his
tory of Germany;
German's answer to , President
President Wilson's questions are
awaited with great anxiety in Ger
many, acording to a Copenhagen dis
patch. Mr. Wilosn's" reply to the
German peace proposals was pub
lished in the newspapers of Berlin
Wednesday evening. The oficial
North German Gazette says:
Says Step Will Be Continued.
"'We have reason to believe that
the peace, step which has been com
menced will be continued."
Deep feeling was aroused in Ber
lin Oct. 7' when a runeor spread that
President Wilson had rejedted the
German offer.
In other cities reports were circu
lated that an armistice had been
agreed upon. The "good news" was
posted immediately in public places,
advices say, and the crowds could not
conceal their joy.

IGerman newspapers reeived here
reveal a number of long articles ap
parently intended to preplre the
public for a further development of
the peace movement and eontaining
favorable reference to President Wil

from some friend familiar with
Europe, for example, Heinry Morgen

A LETTER FROM
THE FRONT BY
MANDEVILLE
SOLDIER
'We are in receipt of the following
letter from a Mandeville boy, now in
active service with the American Ex
peditionary Forces in France, dated
September 6, 1918:
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
To my many friends who read The
Farmer, I'm glad of this opportunity
to greet you.
Good old Mandeville-by-the-Lake,
carry on, my heart is with you! In
the summer and autumn of 191k,
when we had nothing to worry over,
spending our mornings sleeping and
fishing on the lake-and it it; after
noons in swimming in the best bat
ing surf in the world, and arguing
over the war, which was to last six
months, whom of us even dreamed in
four years our country would have
been in war 18 months, and would
be gathering all its tremendous man
power and money-power to end this
same little six months war? t
Naturally, when my thoughts "'g
roaming" I remember those boys,
fellow members of the Cosmogolltaa
'Base Ball Team (how true the name
would now be!), and the knowledge
that-each is in Uncle Sam's big team,
all volunteers, some commissioned,
causes me to be prouder than ever
to have had a team of such clean-eat,
manly fellows, as Brown, Magruder.
Payne, Smith, L. Shiell, Mickel, W.
Shiell, Fassman, Cusachs, and yeors
truly (leaving off the bouquet), and
I know that each will have a high
batting average against "Old saiser
Bill."
Some day-when wq've won this
lwad .it again ecagegate in old
"Mandy by-the4ake" and 7ab be
we'll toss a few more Spldinga's
'round-it'i a proitise. In the mean
while wb are going to carry on for
"peace on earth, meod will to'. a:
mankind."
Over. here we realise the import
ance of what the "folks back, home"
are doing, and want you to realise
that every Liberty Bond or W. 8, 8.
