TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
In complying with the request of the Government, we recently
sent out a yellow circular letter, stating that those who renewed be
fore November 1, 1918, would receive the paper at the old price, in
stead of $2.00, which it now is. Some did not seem to understand,
that if renewals were not made that their paper must be stopped.
Therefore we call the attention of those who received this letter to
this fact ail ask them to please read that letter and save us the
trouble of making out separate bills.

DR. NEY IS NOW
ON THE BATTLE
FRONT WITH
WOUNDED
The following letter from Major
(Dr.) K. W. Ney, to Mr. W. L. Houl
ton, at Uneedus, will be of interest
to our readers:
Evacuation Hospital No. 14,
American Frotn.
My Dear Mr. Houlton:-I have
been in France since August. Had a
safe trip and because of the Ameri
can drive, which was then about to
begin, I broke up my unit into operat
ing teams and came right up to the
front, where I have been all the time.
1 have been through all the Ameri
can drives to date and have seen con
stant action. I have lived In tents
all the time and have had much cold
and rain. I operate for twelve hours
then rest twelve hours, then start
again. I work two operating tables
and go from one to the other. I am
very glad to say that up to the pres
ent time I have lost only one brain
case-and most of them come in with
brain oozing out under the dressings.
I have been much surprised to see
the amount of brain substance a man
can lose and then be fixed up. 1
operate on an average of thirty cases
in 12 hours.
I have moved four times in the
past month-the American drive is
going so fast we can hardly keen up
with it. Last night I had _y supper
on a box beside a battery of 6-inch
"rifles" in action ." e were shelled
but all . _h ,_:sB went wild. I pass
ed jy a German dugout that was hit
by one of our shells. I counted the
arms, legs and heads of nine Ger
mans which were caught in the
wreck, and I don't know how.many
were inside. I have gone by city
after city where there isn't a house
standing in the entire place. The
roads are in excellent condition and
the traffic is very heavy-all motor
trucks. I never thought there could
be so many in the world. The roads
are just two continuous streams of
trucks on the go all the time. If one
goes dead it is just puf on the side
of the road for repairs and the col
umn goes on.
For the past thirty days there has
not been a minute we oould not hear
or feel the jar of big guns and dur
ing the drive it is as though a
thousand were being fired every
minute, and I expect there is more
than that. At night it is like Pains
Fire Works on a gigantic scale At
first I could not sleep for the noise
but now I hardly notice it.
When we leave the hospital we
carry gas masks and wear steel nel
mets. I wear hobnail shoes large
enough so that I can wear two pair
heavy socks. I will be awfully glad
when I can get back and have a hot
bath and a nice warm bed for just
one night, and have a meal without_
beans, some fresh meat and butter
and sugar and cream for coffe-
those things which we have at home
every day and think nothing of would
be the greatest kind of a treat at the
front~
There are some American negroes
around here and it is very comical
to hear them. When a big gun goes
off they always sing, "Kaiser Bill.
count your men." I heard one say
yesterday that "he prayed the good
Lord not to never let him hear them
big guns-but here I is." I met one
negro who was very much disgusted.
He had been trying to talk with on^.
of the French-Colonials (black) and
of course could not understand him.
The American negro said, "that damn
fool nigger can't understand his own
language," thinking the only negro
language was English.
I trust this finds all of you well
and that I may soon be with you
again.
I am most sincerely,

HOT BROTH FOR "BUDDIE"
::-j
SIP
Hot broth is always w'elcomed by our men "over there," but when It is served by a "regular American woman1-,
ft Ia' doubly welcome. Photo above waus taken at a French field hospital "somewhere in France," and shows two
Y. M. C. A. canteen girls serving the convalescents. "Something to warm you up a bit, buddle," heard at the oute?
edge of a tent is sure to bring ins~tant response from the inside of the tent. The American Red Cross nurses, Sla
tion Army lassies and Y. M.C.A. canteen girls hold thzemselves in readiness for any and every kind of service.
'Buddies is glad to see them, w'hatev er their mission, for, being' Americans, it is good just to feast one's eyes om
them .
FARMERS OF ST.
TAMMANY PAR
ISH ATTENTION!
Food for the folks and feed for
the stock are going to be greater
problems in 1919 than they have
been in 1918. Prices are continuing
to advance, men are continuing to be
drafted from the farms, and the de
mands for food and feed by our allies
and our former adversaries in war
are becoming greater every day.
Everything possible must be done.
this winter as well as next spring to
increase these commodities. Follow
ing are some crops which should be
planted now-as soon as land can be
prepared-up to Dec. 1st, but the
sooner the better:
Wheat will make an abundance of
good grazing this winter for hogs,
cattle and horses in dry weather and
for chickens all the time. It is a
tonic as well as food in winter. The
egg yield will be doubled by the
wheat. Grazing is only good for the
wheat, but should be discontinued
March 1st. Fifteen to twenty bush
els of wheat may be harvested May
25th and another crop planted. This
wheat may be ground in a corn mill
into good flour. Five pecks of seed
should be planted to the acre, cost
ing $4 for seed. Plant as you would
oats.
Oats or Abruzzi rye may be plant
ed yet. Three bushels of oats or
one of rye sown to acre. It will cost
about $4 to seed an acre of either
of these. The rye makes a much
better grazing in winter and may be
ground for making rye bread next
May. Like wheat, rye withstands
severe winter better than oats. Oats
cut in the "dough" stage is excellent
feed. If hairy vetch is sown with
oats, the quality of the hay is much
improved. Vetch makes a good
growth in late .winter and early
spring, sending its sprays of vines
up on the oats. It is a legume. It
adds fertility to the soil while the
oats take it out. The oat stalks
suppot the vetch so that it does not
lay on the ground. The vetch vine
is better feed than cow pea hay.
Vetch and oats are good companion
crops--each helps the other, and
they help the soil and stock. Four
dollars worth of vetch seed will seed
the acre.
Any farmer wishing information
about where to get this seed, how to
prepare land, seeding, etc., will re
ceive a ready reply if they will write,
phone or call on

FOURTH IIBERTY BOND DRIVE.
To the Bond Buyers and Solicitors In
the 4th Liberty Loan Campaign:
I wish to make my final report of
the results of the campaign, giving
totals as per wards, It will be
noticed that the figures of some of
the country wards are lower than in
my last report, which gave an esti
mate, but the grand total is larger.
This increase is caused by the final
figures of the Ninth Ward (Slidell),
which came in strong on the "home
stretch."
Report by Wards.
Ward One ........ 9',00)3 00
Ward Two ..... 3,5.0
Ward Three ......... 102,100.00
Ward Four ........., 18,300.00
Ward Five .......... 3,9(00.00
Ward Six ........... 22,700.00
Ward Seven ......... 7,150.00
Ward Eight ......... 5.000.00
Ward Nine .......... 120,000.00
Ward Ten .......... 5,400.00
Total ............. $.; 0.500.09
Allotment ....... . $259,50.00
I had hoped to be in position to
publish the names of the subs ribers
to this bond issue, but the demorali
zation caused 'by the int'uenza epl
demic made this impracticable. Then
too, I think our people have gotten
to the point where they do their
utmhost in these drives, not because
they are seeking appoarances, baut be
cause they know V t:, be their duty
to the country.
I wish to thank the several thous
and people of St. Tammany parish
who invested in bonds for their libe.r
ality and readiness to lend their
money to Uncle Sam, and the many
solicitors in each ward for their
patriotism in giving s) freely of their
'time to this splendid work. At the
same time, I want to remind them
that this will not ba the last Liberty
Loan Drive. While it now looks a`
if we might have an early termina
tion of the war, the Fourth Liberty
Loan money has already been spent
by the Nation, practically, and there
is going to be need for much more
before we welcome our last hero
home.
Respectafully,

Chairman Fourth Liberty loan
Committee.

CAMPAIGN FOR
UNITED WAR
WORK IS NOW
UNDER WAY
Blaney Introduces a Novel
Feature In Singing and
Whistling.
CAPT PEQUEGNAT
MAKES GGOD TALK
Captain and Few Guests En
tertained at Dinner at
Gabe's Tavern.
The meeting last Sunday in the
interest of the United War Work
campaign was in many ways unique,
especially in the singing of the songs
popular with the soldiers at the
front. Everybody was made to sing,
and more than that, to whistle them.
Mr. D. V. Blaney, the Y. M. C. A.
worker, was a wonder, when t came
to whooping things up. If you don't
believe it, ask J. D. Grant of 8idell.
The writer sat next to him and will
guarantee that he is both a singer
and a whistler of quality-and let me
say also, a patriot through and
through.
The meeting was presided over by
Chairman E. J. Domergue, who in
troduced Capt. A. J. Pequegnat, of
the Canadian regiment that waded
through blood to get at the Hun.
He was wounded by bayonet thrust
and is on furlough. The captain
made the best talk relative to mat
ters at the front that has been made
in Covington, and he carried his
audience enthusiastically with him
as he described why the Canadians
took no prisoners. Kamarade meant
nothing to them after the boche had
betrayed them a few times with bay
onet thrusts in the back. The Cap
tain also made a strong plea for the
United 'War Work, telling of the
wonderful things accomplished by
the huts.
* Oliver J. Hebert, writing to C. E.
Schonberg, of Covington, also speaks
in the highest terms of the aecom
plishments of the Y. M. C. A., IC. of
C. and other societies for the sol
diers.
By the way, Mr. Blaney has been
called to France and will depart
soon.
The Drive In St. Tammany.
Mr. Domergue is getting along
finely in preparation for the eam
paign, which begins Monday. He
has pretty well outlined the work
and got his committees appointed.
Among recent appointments are the
following.:
Parish Treasurer, Dr. A. G. Maylie.
Committee for the Third Ward:
H. A. Mackie, chairman; J. Monroe
Simmons, John ,Haller, Adrian D.
Schwartz, Jas. Connaughton, Miss
Kate Eastman.
There are some who believe that
the peace negotiations will deerease
the need of the work of the United
Societies. This is not true. Even
more money will be needed than be-.
fore, because the work will be in
creased. Our boys will be abroad
for several years yet a'd will be
more in the camps than before and
will have more time away from ser
vice, when they will come directly in
need of the aid of these societies.
So while our allotment is less than
$15,000, it is expected that double
that amount will be raised.
All ministers are asked to speak
on welfare work among the soldiers,
Sunday, November 11. No doubt
they will make an appeal for the
money that is to mean so mueh to
the hundreds of soldiers ftrom St.
Tammany prish.
Chairman Domergue entertained
Capt. Pequegnat and a few guets at
dinner at Gabe's Tavern jats before
the meeting.
