THE FIRE DEPAR¶TMENT IS IMPORTANT.
T'icke s to Firemen's Festival are being sold by the chlidren. ,When
y 'u ,re as:ked to buy a ticket, remember that the small sum asked for It
:,wy some day go tonward the payment for the protection of your home.
\ hae b.~Le fortunate in having few fires, lately. 'But any' time the
alarm :nay be sounded, and when it is it is just as likely to be in your
w ighbo hood as any other-perhaps your own home. If enough people
buy tickets it will enable the department to do the things it is trying to
do in order to bring the department up to a state of efficiency. It will
",natle it, to not only fight fire, but to have an opportunity to conquer it.
If two thousand of our people would spend 50 cents each for this fest
val, tihe department would have one thousand dollars. JUST THINK
W\VtAT A IlELt' THAT WOULD lIE. Some people will spend much more
than that. But think of the number that will not even buy a ticket.
Ever consider it in that light? If not, suppose everybody makes up his
mind to buy a ticket or two. You'll certainly get your money's worth
if you g), and if you don't go you will have the satisfaction of knowing,
that you have helped to put the fire department on a footing that will
make it a protection to you in case of fire.

RICE-GROWING IN ST. TAMMANY.
'lhe immense manufacture and use of timber products during the war
has drawn largely upon the supply of St. Tammany parish. The anticipa
tion of this depletion, which has been oommented upon for several years,
has assumed the actuality of fact. The warning given that one of the
greatest assets of the parish would have to be replaced by industries of
some kind or the burden of financing 'the parish wotld fall heavily upon
the people in taxation must now be considered as an immediate problem.
The Covington Association of Commerce has considered this matter at
various meetings, and within limits of the means at hand has made in
vestigations with a view to making productive and profitable the immense
acreage of cutover i~nds in the parish. It was realized that while the
lands were cheap in price the cost of clearing added largely to the expense
of putting it into a state of productiveness. Two propositions have been
given special attention-rice and cane growing. Both are profitable crops
here, and plans are being worked out that may result in the permanent
establishment of these two industries.
IT MUST BE REMEMBERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT TAKES IMONEY
TO MAKEI INVESTIGATIONS, TO GATHER STATISTICS AND TO
PIUT INTO OPERATION THE MACHINERY THAT WORKS OUT PROB
LEMS OF THIS 'CHARACTER. THE WHOLE PARISH SHOULD BE
INTERESTED IN THE WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION AS THE IBIENE
FITS UNURE TO THE WHOLE PARISH. ONE BKlG, STRONG ASSOCIA
TION CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE THAN ANY 'NUMBER OF SMALL AS
SOCIATIONS WORKING SEPARATELY. IT IS THE VITAL STREINkTH
OF CO-ORDINATION AND CO-OPERATION-THE STRENJGTH OF
UNITY. CITIZENS WHO BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE MUST WORK
OUT THEIR OWN INDUSTRIAL SALVATION SHOULD BE ,MOVED BY
THIS APPEAL TO SEND IN THEIR APPLICATION FOR MEMBER
SHIP, AND'VWHEN POOSIB'LE TO IBE 'PRIESENT AT THE MEETINGS
WHICH TAKE PLACE EVERY MONDAY EVENING AT 8 O'CLOCK.
At the n~eeting of the Association last' Monday Commissioner 'Harry K.
Wilson was present and the question of rice-growing was discussed. n
the basis of statistics furnished by ,Mr. Karl Treen, the secretary, cover
ing land available and' land now in cultivation in rice, average yield, etc.,
Mr. Wilson expressed himself with great enthusiasm as to the advantages
of rice-growing here, compared with other sections now profitably engag
ed in the industry. He thought that Mr. J. J. Lewis, of Eunice, La., and
Mr. Carl Himmell, of Lake Charles, would be interested in the showing
and he would consult them. As a result it has Ibeen arranged to hold a
meeting at the courthouse in Covington, Saturday, May 17, at 11 a. m.,
under the auspices of the Association of Commerce, at which meeting it
is understood Mr. Lewis and iMr. Himmell will address the citizens on this
subject. It is hoped the meeting will be well attended and that those
especially interested will come'prepared to discuss the matter.
MRS. ANGOELE VALLETTE
PLANCHE.
Mrs. Angele Vallette Planche, who
died at her home on 25th avenue, in
Covington, Tuesday, May 6, 1919,
has been a resident of Covington for
Sixty years. While living to the ad
vanced age of 97 years, 6 months,
she retained her faculties to a re
markable degree and was an instruc
tive and interesting conversationist.
She came from an old and wealthy
family, her father, Louis Vallette,
being a well known planter and slave
owner of Plaquemine. As a girl she
was known as the belle of that place.
In 1839 she was married to Edward
Veillion, also a wealthy planter of
Plaquemine, and from that union an
only child was born, Mrs. Pauline
Lapouyade of New Orleans, now 77
years of age. Having become a.
widow, in 1851 Mrs. Veillio nmarried
Mr. Auguste Planche, an old-school
man of education and refinement.
Of this union there were born Victor
Planche, Covington; August Planche,
Bogalusa; Mrs. Jules Pechon, New
Orleans. Mrs. Auguste Planche sur
vived her husband. She also has 18
grandchildren, 30 great grandchild
ren and 7 great great grandchildren.
The Planche family came to Cov
ington because of ill 'health of one of
the children and purchased the old
Bagley mill. She enjoyed the bless
ing of passing away at this ripe old
age without the loss of a child, her
baby boy, Mr. August Planche, of
Bogalusa, being 58 years of age.
Mrs. Planche was a patriotic work
er during the present war and was
bitter in her denunciation of the
Kaiser. On October 17, 1917, she
registered and offered her services to
Uncle Sam, and up to the time of
her death was still sewing for the
unfortunate sufferers abroad.
The Josephine Hutchinson Memo
rial and the Nurses Home at the
Charity Hospital in New Orleans are
the gifts of IMrs. Planche's cousion.
George U. Bertoinnaire, who came
in a derigible from Tampa to New
Orleans, last week, in the interest of
the Victory Loan campaign, is the
great grandson of Mrs. Planche.
Mrs. Planche was laid to rest in
the Covington Cemetery, Wednesday,

OPPORTUNITY
For want of a very small
sum a man often has to sit
by and watch his opportuni
ty become the property of
some one else.
Opportunities pass those
by who do not savj. The
chance for good investment
comes to every one sooner
or later. The ready means
to seize a safe and profitable
investment is obtained by
saving. The man who has
followed the plan of the wise
virbins and is prepared can
take advantage of the oppor
tunity; the improvident man
sees the other fellow get the
profit. Frequently a man is
not offered an opportunity to
make money because he is
not thrifty. We ,believe that
every man has more than
one chance.
If you have seen your
golden opportunity slip away
because you could not meet
the emergency financially,
we believe that the thing for
you to do is to begin to save
now, and save persistently
and systematically. Oppor
tunity will come your way
again; watch for it and be
ready to greet it.
