planned for about a week from now,
February 21 and 22. There will be
a series of meetings held at different
places. Some of the *best agricul

vital and appropriate, especially f)r
this year, this season of the year, and
for St. Tammany parish.
The program will be carried to the
farmers in different sections of the
parish for their convenience in at
tending. Now, will the farmers fail
to come, or coming to town will they
stand on the corner or let any ordi
nary business prevent their coming
into the meeting on time? It is
hoped they will come early and finish
trading ;before the meeting, or fail

business until after these most im

JOHN WILLY IS
SHOT BY
NEGRO
John Willy was shot in the right
arm by a negro named Jule Johnor..,
cariy Saturday morning, near Oh
v;i. Complaint was made to Mr.
Willy by the father of Johnson that
.Jule was beating the family up and
creating a disturbance generally in
tl'e house. Willy got his gun and
in company with his son, who carried
a Winchester, went to the Johnson
house to investigate the trouble.
Just as he approached the door Jule
Johnson opened it slightly and fired
coming out on the porch. The
charge of No. 4 shot entered between
the wrist and the elbow and shat
tered the 'bone. Young Willy, see
ing that has father was shot, fired at
Johnsen and thought he had hit hinm,
as the negro slipped to his hands
and knees and then jumped up and
ran. Willy then turned to assist his
father. In the meantime Johnson
disappeared and has not been cap
t:t red.
Mr. Willy's wounds were dressed
by Dr. Bulloch, who had him sent to
the hospital in New Orleans, realiz
ing that the wound was a serious
one. Th,'re the arm was amputated
above the bow, it being too shatter
er to save..
Dr. Bullock said that when he took
Mr. Willy's coat off the shot, which
had passed through the arm and into
the sleeve, rattled out on the fio-.
If Mr. Willy had not thrown his arm:
in front for !protection he would have
received the charge in his body and
undoubtedly been ,killed.
Mr. Willy has been one of the
best deputies on Sheriff Brewster's
force. He is a man of de:ermina
tion and bravery and could be de
pended upon. He had atrestea\Jule
Johnson on a former occasion, when
it was believed that Johnson had kill
ed a negro woman found dead in her
room. .Subsequently Johnson left
here and was picked u.p in another
n'ace and drafted into the army.
He was considered to be a dangerous
rchracter. 'but said by some to be
half witted. Officers are watcbin'
for him and it is expected that he
may be captured at any time.

BAPTISTS SAY
EXPECT BIG
RESULTS
The Baptist Bible Institute cam
paign for $200,000 has been tnor
oughly organized throughout the
state and everywhere fine work is
*being done in its prosecution. The
campaign opened last Sunday in
more than six hundred Baptist
churches in Louisiana and it is fully
expected that the appeal of this In
stitute will be made to the more than
80,000 white Baptists during the
next month. In many of the asso
ciations of the state some of the
strongest laymen are taking an active.
part in presenting the campaig.r in
the rural and village churches.
These laymen go out in teams of
two or more spetking in the church
es *and assisting, in the individual
canvass of the membership. Not a
low note or a discouraging word has
come from any section of the state.
In many of the local districts the
apportionments made from the office
have been increased and it is prac
tically assured that the $200,000 will
be raised before March 9th. One oZ
the leading denominational workers
speaking about the organization in
his territory said: "If the whole
state could be thoroughly organized
and 'the interest of this Institute
could be :presented to all of our con
stituency, we would raise more than
a half million dollars in the State of
Louisiana alone. " Dr. I. J. Van
Ness, corresponding secretary of tle
Baptist Sunday School Board, Nash
ville, Tenn., writes. "That is a great
campaign that you are putting on iun
Louisiana in the interest of the Bap
tist Bible Institute of New Orlean..
If you put it over, and of coures you
will, it will be the most far reaching
If you put it over, and of coures you
will, it will be the most far reaching
effort in our history for a genera
tion." This is the view that the big
denomiantional men take of the cam
paign in this state for the Bible In
stitute of New Orleans. Tihe succe~s
of this campaign in Louicians will
challenge the whoel South and I an
ticipate the other states will take up
the raising of their quota and of one
half million dollars fo,: end owmeit
within the next year.
Good news comes regarding the
beginning of the campaign in this
section of the state and local manas
ers are greatly encouraved. n, doubt.
Every church covered by this paper
is to be visited by a special speaker
and a comple*e canvass of the entire
Baptist constituency is to be made.
There are many people of other chris
tian faith who are recognizing the
merits of this institution and will
make contributions to the $200.000
campaign.

THERE WILL BE
NO EXTENSION
OF TIME FOR
INCOME TAX
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
That there will 'be no general ex
tension of time beyond March 15 for
'he filing of returns, and for the pay
ment of Income and Excess Protits
taxes due on that date, is the decision
of Daniel C. Roper, Commissione, of
Internal Revenue. The announce
ment was made today - by Collector
r Y. Fauntleroy, immediately fol
lowing the approval ,by the Senate
and House of the report of the con
ferees on the new Revenue Bill.
"It is necessary to get, the initial
tax payments in 'by March 15th,"
c:ays Commissioner Roper. "No
other course is possible. Some few
months ago the Treasury issued cer
:ificates of indebtedness 'to an amount
approximating $800,000,000, matur
ing March 15th.. The first payment
of the Income and Excess Profitl
Taxes for 1918 was planned for that
date, to meet this huge obligation.
"The American people have provelI
that there is no emergency too great
to be met asfd solved 'by co-operation.
This 'present situation is another
emergency which can be overcome by
co-operative effort. The Bureau ex
tends its every force toward this end,
and I am relying upon the people to
meet the situation wholeheartedly.
"The Internal Revenue Bureau
must carry out the program prescrib
ed in the new law, which requires
all returns for 1918 to 'be filled out
on or before March 15, 1919, and
requires quarterly payment or the
entire amount to be made on or be
fore that date.
"Every taxpayer who can possiibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March
15th. The quarterly payment meth
od is intended for taxpayers whose
financing of the tax at one time
would tend to upset local financial
conditions.
"The approval of the report of the
conferees by the Senate and House
of Representatives 'brings the new
Revenue Bill to the point where it
may 'be assumed to 'be law. The In
ternal Revenue Bureau has been
making preparations to collect the
taxes which it 'provides, and is now
putting all of its efforts into aiding
the taxpayers to fulfill the obliga
tions imposed.
"The Bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force of several thous
ands of deputies and agents to assist
taxpayers. These officers will be sta
tioned at convenient points where
they' may be consulted without
charge. Taxpayers should take the
initiative and get in touch With these
revenue men for any needed advice
and assistance in preparing returns.
"The forms for the tax returns are
being !printed and all forms will be
in the hands of collectors between
February 15 and March 1."

UNION LABOR MAN AND
WELL KNOWN ATHLETE
SAMUEL J. ALLISON.
No doubt the readers of The St.
Tammany Farmer read with interest
and satisfaction of the recent suc
cess of the Madisonville de:egation
of ship workers who went to Phila
delphia and Washington to place be
fore the Emergency k'leet Corpora
tion and officials in Washington the
facts that warranced a continuance
of the shipbuilding for the Govern
ment at the Jahncke Ship Yards.
They presented such a clear case of
ettfficiency in this yard as to not only
secure a completion of the contracts
but to win the highest commendation
for the workmen. This delegation
was lieadetl by Samuel J. Allison.
Who is Samuel J. Allison?
With all the names of men who
have done things during the war
men who have sprung suddenly into
public light and men who have al
ways been publicly known-Mr. Alli
son may not -come quickly to the
minds of our home people, Ibut he
is well known in sporting circlep.
St. Tammany parish has a claim 6n
him. Mandevillians should know
him. Boys who attended the Catho
lic College of the Brothers in 1882
will remember him with delightful
reference to his work as an athlete.
Later he became a professional ball
player and helped the Detroits to
win the pennant in 1887. 'He was a
great base runner as well as a record
long distance runner. And to cap
his great achievements in athletics,
he is one of our greatest long dis
tance swimmers. He is in the twen
iv mile rlann
tance swimmers. He is in the twen
ty mile class.
But 'Mr. Allison's accomplishments
are not limited to sports. He is a
genuine worker, wherever you put
him, and his work ,usually brings
results. He is genial and whole
souled and a friend who can be
counted on. And also Mr. Allison is
a fourth degree Knights of Colum
bus and is a hustler in his lodge
work, as he is elsewhere.
Therefore we are glad to learn that
Mr. Allison, although he was born in
Orange, Texas, has come 'back to our
parish, where his college days were
spent and where he breathed tnce
ozone that built up the strong body
and deep lungs that made him 1
great athlete and gave him the sunny
disposition that ties him to his
friends and his friends to him.

ITEMS OF INTEREST AT JAHNCKE
SHIPYARDS IN MADISONVILLE
Items of interest to the shipbuilders and public in general will be
published in this column each week, and those who have interesting
news and local notes can forward same to the Editorial Department
Jahncke Shipbuilding Corporation, and they will be handled by them.
Notes should be in so as to be mailed every Wednesday, otherwise they
will be held over until the next week. E. F. CADDIN,
Editor-In-Chief.
Hospital Notes.
The week just closed has seen far
too many accidents in the yard, too
many based on former experience and
from the description given by the in
jured men, many of these accidents
are avoidable. While we are glad
to state that we have had to deal
with no seriously crippling injuries
lately, we have had many disabling
and very painful wounds to contend
with.
When a work of this kind is just
begnning, as was the case a year or
more ago, it is expected that many
men will hurt themselves' or their
fellow workmen until all have be
come more or less skilled, but when
these same men have had more train
ing, then we look for an improve
ment in the handling of tools and
other instruments of this trade and
consequently a diminution in the
number of injuires.
At most of the large ship build
ing plants a "Safety First Commit
tee" has been organized among the
men and steps have been taken to
prevent accidents and the results ob
tained have been most satisfactory.
It goes without saying that the
ntelligent and thrifty workman does
not relish the thought of losir g al
week's pay due to an injury both
painful and crippling for the time.
Employers' Liability Insurance
commonly carried by all large con
cerns does not under the laws of
this State pay a man for his first
week of injury except in such cases
where the injury causes a total loss
of time foc and exceeding six con
secutive weeks, and this indemnity
in no case exceeds a certain sum per
week which is far lower than t.he
average wages now being made.
It is possible that the above in
formation is not generally known by
our men and it is here stated for the
purpose of attracting their attention
to the proposed campaign against
avoldalble accidents.
Sometimes it happens that the new
man among a gang or crew is re
sponsible for the accident happening,
in other words he is not yet skillful
epough with his tools, and in such
instances it would be well for the
leadman or foreman to keep an eye
on the newcomer and coach and ad
vise him until he Ibecomes accustom
ed to his work and his gang, fq
every crew has its peculiarities and
the best intentions in the world are
sometimes useless until a man has
worked himself into the crew's ways
of doing things.
It is sincerely believed that many
of our valuable men will in the
future escape these painful "little
accidents" and not be forced to lose
good time if a little more thought
and care is given to the risky parts
of the job.
Nuptials.
Mr. Joseph E. Cuney, of Abbeville,
La., and Miss Sadie Chatellier, *,f
Madisonville, La., were united in the
holy bonds of wedlock at Covingtoif,
La., Feb. 11, 1919, Father John of
the Catholic Church officiating.
Miss Alice Brewster, the lovely
daughter %of Sheriff T. E. Brewster,
acted as 'bridesmaid, and the genial
Moses Chatellier, the bride's brother.
acted as (best man.
The bride was dressed in a travel
ing suit of oxford grey, which was
exquisite in design and harmonions
ly blended with the sweet personali
ty of the ,bride.
The bride and groom will spend
their honeymoon at Abbeville, the
home of the groom's mother.
'Mr. Cuney is a valued employee
of the Jahncke Shipbuilding Co., and
very highly thought of 'by his asso
ciates. 'Ihe bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Chatellier, who.
have been life-long residents of Madi
sonville.
We extend hearty congratulaticos.
and wish the bride and groom "bon
voyage" through life.
Madisonville has been enjoying
the beautiful spring-like weather
which has appeared earlier than was
mxpected, but it will be joyously wel
!omed as it will doubtless work mar
vels in a change of thought and ac
tion. The mental and social depres
sion which characterized the winter
season should disappear, and the last
weeks of winter and the bealiful
spring weeks yet to come, we feel
confident, will find our lovely town
more joyous than it was during the
period of the war. Most of the
young men that answered their coun
try's call are being demdbilized, and
are rapidly returning home. Their
presence always gives zest to all
social events and makes the giving
of larger parties more successful.
This week Misses Irene DeGruy,
Vira Gainter and Inez Gainier were
the guests of honor at one of the
lbvliest supper parties of the season,
when Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Lopez en
tertained at their home, preparatory
to the departure of their daughter
and two nieces to New Orleans. The
evening was one of Ipleasure and ffll
ed with many surprises in the way
of art and mirth.
Miss Kathleen Aby rendered sev
eral songs in such a capable voice
that she fairly captivated her listen
ers. Mr. John Davis, with his ex
cellent voice and affecting manners,
carried his audience back to "The
Good Old Days." Mr. Frank DeGruy
and Mr. J. J. Broders, two of Madi
sonville's most popular young men,
gave a. form of entertainment that
would please the most' fastidious.
Mr. DeGruy and Mr. Broders were
the last number on the program but
they easily demonstrated that as en
tertainers they were par-excellence
anti they contributed largely to mak
ing the function the success that it
was. Those present were Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. ,Lopez, Misses Irene De
