VICTORY LOAN1
WILL BE PUT
THROUGH
While the Victory Loan Campaign
will be more extended than such cam
paigns have usually been in' this par
ish, this is not due to any lack of
sentiment in support of the luan, : t
because many people who are desir
ous of buying as much as they can
were not prepared to say just what
they could take at the time. Many
are still paying on their last bonds
and have not yet decided just what
they can do now. Those who have
bought as a matter of: investment
have taken larger amounts even than
before, while those who "are buying
in patriotic support of the Govern
ment and have put' all the money
they could spare into previous loans
will not invest so much as before.
It may be cons. ered certain, how
ever, that this pirish will raise its
quota without depending so largely
upon the banks as was considlered
probable. Aside from patriotic duty,
the loan is a good investment, as tt
pays 4 3-4 per cent interest.
Committees have been pretty well
organized and both men and women
are working hard for a successful
campaign.

"It is true that we are aiming to

HIDEN TREASURE.
A man with a gold-finding appa
ratus has succeeded in arousing in
terest of a group of people who are
digging for hidden treasure at the,
roots of an old cedar tree on Florida
s'treet. We wonder if this will pay
as well as working for $2.50 a day.
MILK.THAT CAN
STAND THE
* TEST
Food experts of the United States
Government give milk a very iin
L portant place in the diet, attribut
ing to it qualities difficult to be
found in substitUtes. It is nature's
sstandard food, and except in cases of
idiosyncrasy is always beneficial, per
forming functions that decrease ten
dency to arterial hardening andueck
oning youth to remain with you.
On the other hand, it is admitted
that milk may become one of the
most dangerous of foods, if contami
nated by improper.handling or un
sanitary surroundings. In fact, may -
.become a regular incubator of dis
'ease germs.
Recognizing both these facts, Mr.
Felix Bachemin, proprietor of the
Military Road Dairy Farm, has de
cided to meet a public demand by
placing his milk on sale at the store
of Gus Burant, on New Hampshire
street, Covington, under such sani
tary conditions as to win the appro
bation of the most fastidious. Milk
from the Miltary Road Dairy Farm
has won a reputation that makes its
standard hard to reach. Close study
of the value of stock foods, the main
tenance of healthy stock and the pro
duction of a high percentage of cream
or butter fat has resulted in his
ability to place on the market milk
that every lover of pure, rich milk
wim be delighted with. It will be
put up in sanitary bottles of sizes to
suit the customer and will be served
fresh from the cleanest of refriger
ators, either to be drank at the store
or taken home for family use.

MORE INTEREST
IN REED CASE.
New interest has been awakened in
the Edna Reed murder by the order
of Judge Carter to have the overalls 1
said to belong to Reed and found in
the car, which are stained either with
blood or paint, givgn an expert ex- I
amination by Dr. Coats, dean of the
chemistry department of L. S. U.
Dr. Coats, in response to a request,
has agreed to make an analysis of
these stains, and by order of Court
Dr. IBulloch sent the overalls to Bat
on Rouge for this purpose, Sheriff
Brewster detailing Deputy Quatre
vaux to this duty. Instead of $500 f
asked by the New Orleans chemist, 1
the work will cost the parish but
$100. This is a big saving in the t
expense of- the case.

The Clean-Up movement has. be
come one of national importance and
's observed in all municipalities.

Clean-Up days valuable and effective.
It is therefore ordered that teems

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. D H. VINET,
Editpr-In-Chief.
IMr. J. E. Brogan, detailed by the
U. S. Emergency Fleet Corporation
as inspector at the Jahncke shipyard,
has been with us for ten months. and
while his duties htve been very oner
ous at times, thete has never been
once when he could no stop a while
to exchange pleasantries wits his
co-workers. From time to time he
has been associated in his services to
the government here with such men
as ,Mesars..'Bell, Clark, Moore, Capt.
Carlson, and last but not least, with
Messrs. Williams and Pump, and they
all unite in pronouncing him a faith
ful and conscientious officer. In fact
his qualities of heart and mind are
admired and praised by all classes
in the shipyard. This war has
brought many strangers to Madison
ville, but none will be missed more
'than ;Mrs Brogan when duty calls
him elsewhere.
S,Mr. P. T. Burke, Southern District
Fire Marshal for the U. S. Emerg
ency Fleet Corporation, visited the
Jahncke yard on the 21st. He was
conducted through the yard by (Mr.
Louis Stockfleth, Plant Guard Mar
shal, where he found all fire appli
ances in excellent condition. Mr.
Burke has a large territory to cover,
extendfing from Wilmington, N. C.,
on the Atlantic Coast, to Mobile and
Pensacola, on the Gulf Coast, and
then to Morgan City. Mr. Burke
praises this yard in the. highest terms
and says its efficiency is recognized
and that there is every reason to
believe the future will justify his
judgment.
The readers of The Farmer doubt
less know that IMadisonville is on the
map of Louisiana in box-car letters.
She stands preeminently in a class
her own, from an industrial and eco
nomic standpoint, because of her
adaptibility to modern progress and
the aptitude of her citizens to cope
with emergandces. I need not go
into details, suffice it to say that she
has won her place in the sun. There
have been many contributing factors
to bring this about, and.while I think
of it, wish to say Mr,, Theo. Den
dinger, with his hustling boy, worked
overtime to bring about this happy
consummation. 'Mr. 'Dendinger, Sr.,
for over forty years, has been a mer
chant here, and during all this time
has worked unselfishly and with civic
pride unsurpassed, in upbuilding this
historic town. Mr. Dendingpr has
retired from active +bhUin.sssaffairs,
having turned over the same to his
sons, John, George~ .dt Theo. Den
dinger, Jr.
Mr. Dendinger, Sr,, * president of
the IMadisonville' B#lk, one of the
most substantial financial instiu
tions in the state. In addition to
operating the dMadisonville Saw &
Planing Mill, which iurnishes high
grade lumber for domestic purposes
and a very large quantity for export
trade, they conduct the Madisonville
Exchange (for thirsty people) and a
large general merchandise store.
Mr. Dendinger is certainly a philan
thropist in the truest sense of the
word-many are the beneficiaries of
his 'kindness of heart and benevo
lence of spirit.
Being a large real estate owner
himself, he has always assisted the
poor man to provide a home for his
family at the lowest possible coat,
and as a result there are more of the
sturdy Emiddlh classes who own their
own homes here than amy town in
the state of its size.
This article is not intended to ad
vertse Mr. Dendinger, because I be
lieve he is averse to publicity in any
manner, bud it is absolutely im
possible to write Madisonville with
out Dendinger-one is synonomous
of the other-it would be like writ
ing Romeo with Juliet left not.
THE TOWN ELECTION.
At an election held in the town of
Madisonville, Tuesday, April 22,
Mayor Octave J. Oulliber, with the
same aldermen who served the pre
ceding year, were elected without
opposition. This administration serv
ed throughout the period of the war
and they. can always feel-proud of
their services to the people of the
town and the best evidence that the
people appreciate their services and
are proud of them is found in the
fact of their unanimous election.
