PREMIUMS SOON
TO BE PAID
BY FAIR
The premium checks for the wia
ning exhibitors will be mailed out in
the near future. Some of the labor
ers at the fair and many of the prem
lum winners have already informeI
the fair officials that they want capi
tal stock in the Association at $1.00
per share, and' it is believed that
many more will feel so inclined. .f
they do, when they get their check,
simply return it for that much
s ock. Purchase of this stock is a
good inve:;tment. There were only
5000 shares of stock issued, and
3402 shares have been purchased,
leaving only 1598 shares for sale
Every farmer should own a few.
shares, so should every businessman.
Heretofore the money that might
have gone to paying dividends has
gone into the improvement of th,.
properly until it is worth twice what
it was when the fair was organized
with $5,000 capital stock. Yet, the
directors have not raised the price ft
the stock from $1 per share. It was
hoped that the farmers would take
up this stock. By purchase of some
stock the buyer b:'.omnws the proud
part owner of the Parish Fair As
sociation and a bos'.er and a worti

money received for this stock woulI
be spent for more land so as to In

wants to come here in November or
December to carry passengers if we
can furnish a larger field than we
now have. We need a larger grand

LAW SAYS DEAD
CATTLE MUST
BE BURNED
The state law provides that all
cattle dying of charbon must be
burned, with severe penalty for vio
lation. There is also an ordinance
of the Police Jury for enforcing the
state law in St. Tammany parisb.
The matter is of great importance
to the stock owners of the parish, as
unless this is done the disease will
spread rapidly. While the cold
weather may stop the spread of the
disease now, it is expected that next
year the disease will be worse than
we have ever had it because the law
has not in all cases been complied
with. It is said that in the future
this matter will be watched carefully
and all violations will be prosecuted.

REPUBS STAMP
JNO. M. PARKER
AS DAMAGING
ENEMY
But A Hartford Man Shows
Why State of Connecti
cut is Proud of Him.
LOUISIANA NOT
ALONE IN THIS
Says President Wilson Did
Well to Honor Him for
Help to Democrats.
(From New Orleans Item)
Ward bossed politicans have been
telling you that John Parker is a
Republican. The Republicans all
over the United States recognized
him as their most dangerous enemy.
Here's what one of them-The Hart
fore Courant-ill-naturedly wrote
about him just after President Wil
son thanked John in 1916 for his
great services to democracy in that
election:
Candidate Wilson's letter to Can
didate Parker, expressing apprecia
tion of the latter's help to the form
er in the recent campaign, is not ex
actly a model of honesty.
Mr. Parker had a right to do just
as he did, for he was a nominee
without ,party organization behind
him and he was as free to make his
choice among the candidates for the
presidency as was any other Ameri
can citizen. Mr. Parker is a Louisi
ana Democrat, and his choice fell
naturally where the choice of all
Louisiana Democrats fall - upon
President Wilson.
To Mr. Parker, President Wilson
says: "My admiration has been ex
cited by your course of action, a
course marked by principle, self-re
sect, generosity, and a high sense of
duty." All of this is because Mr
P'arker spoke and voted for Mr. Wii
son. It is a good example of self
flattery and not a very subtle one at
that. Mr. Wilson rather openly uses
Mr. Parker as the occasion to throw
a fragrant bouquet at himself ....
Following President Wilson's lead,
some Democratir editors are attempt
ing to make a sort of national hero
out of the gentleman from Louisi
ana, but it is so much the custom
of all the gentlemen from Louisiana
and in Louisiana to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, no matter whose name
it carries, that a hall of fame to in
elude all of them woald have to be
so big that it could give distinction
to none. We cannot figure out that
Mi1. Parker did any independent
thinking or independent voting. He
simply followed his inherited in
stincts.
That's what the Republican Cou
rant said of him. Not content with
calling him merely a foolish Lou
isianian, the professors of Old Guard
ism and black-guardism of the Pa
cific Coast Republicans referred to
him and his followeds as "rene
gades" and "traitors.'
The language of some of these
Republican assailers of John M.
Parker, because he merely exercised
a personal preference for Democracy,
is frankly reminiscent of some of
the equally slanderous and injurious
things Ward Bossed Democrats were
saying of him in Louisiana four
years ago. They are now repeating
their own calumnies, with the apolo
gy that they don't believe them
selves.
Not everybody in Yankeeland,
however, agreed with The Courant.
L. H. Triescherlan, for instance, who
lives at Hartford, too, had just real
what The New York World thought
of Parker, when his home paper's
comment drifted across his eye.
!So he took his pen in hand anl
wrote the following note, after
which he sent The Item all the docu
ments:
To the Editor of The World: Of
course Louisiana is proud of John M.
P'arker, but Louisiana is not alone.
Connecticut, too, is proud of him.
He came here unknown to our peo
ple save as a name. He came to
help the President and the country in
the hour of need, of actual peril, and
he came without fear of those in th?
seats of the mighty who threatened
to burn him up (it is their own
phrase) if he attempted to make the
attack.
He told the story of the Chicago
betrayal so frankly, so fearlessly, and
so modestly, that he won the hearts
as well as the heads of Connecticunt
people who heard him, and particu
larly of those thousands of Connec
ticut Progressives who had not heard
before the real story.
That siinple, straightforward, fear
less narrative was a part of the very
root ard fiber of the man himself.
Is it any wonder that Connecticut,
like Louisiana, is proud of John M.
Parker? Is it any wonder that many
of us who have learned to know him
best have learned to love him? You
do well, President Wilson does well,
to honor him,
What other Louisianian did the
Yankee Republican ever have to be
rate for electing a Democratic presi
d(lent?
Isn't that the kind -of Democrat
you want at the head of Louisiana's
government? Can the Ward Bossed
mosquito fleet fool you about it.

Dear old Tennessee is the place I
long to Ibe; that's where they drink
water out of the gourd, sweeten their
coffee with sorghum, and tell tie
time of day by the sun.
I think it is the greatest state in
the Union. They have lemonade
springs and rock candy mountairs,
raise their tobacco and make their
own whisky. In the hills of Ten
nessee the people come as near being
wild as any place I ever saw. An
old moonshiner down there in the
hills has got his house built on the
line of three different states. His
parlor is in Tennessee, his dining
room in Georgia, and his kitchen in
North Carolina. It takes three
sheriffs to arrest him. He can eat
in Georgia, wash his feet in North
Carolina and talk to a man in Tenn
essee, all at the same time.
If you are a stranger in those hills
you are as welcome as the Japanese
in California. They shoot you first
an# ask your business afterwards.
All the men carry hardware. They
use it to cut buttonholes. The
ladies play the fiddle on horseback.
When the government catches one
moonshiner, the moonshiners k1ll
five revenue officers.
Just as the old saying goes, "hap
piness often hides in unexpected
places." You'll be following a wind
ing path by a hillside when you will
see an old cow bell and a tin can
estting on a stump. Well, if you
don't know what to do "you haint
got no business in them parts."
For the benefit of those who have
never been shod, I will reveal the
password: Just drop a dollar in the
can, ring the 'bell, walk away about
a hundred yards, then come back to
the stump. You will find that the
dollar has disappeared, but the cai.
will be filled with what is called
moonshine whisky, but the strangest
part of it all is you will not see
anyone.

Mrs. E. Strain to J. I. McGehee
best police protection in the world.
When one is born there is a police
man at the cradle. When one dies
there is a policeman at the grave.
In this country you can't find one
of them. If you should find one
when you wanted him it would be
something like this: Here, officer,
hurry up, there is a man in the sa
loon acros sthe street trying to kill
everybody and breaking up all the
furniture. How big is he? He is
bigger than you. It's off my beat.
I understand that a law will be
passed in New Orleans that will com
pel all citizens to wear rubber shoes
so they will not wake the policemen.
A boy stood on the burning deck,
His head was in a whirl,
His eyes and mouth were filled with
His arms were filled with girls.
Woman's hair, beautiful hair;
What words of praise I'd utter:
But, oh, how sick it makes you feel
To find it in the butter.
Young onions oft remind us
As we sit with tilted nose,
That the guy just behind us
Ate at least a dozen rows.
The warm days go, the fall comes In,
We start to sneeze and cough;
The coal man now puts on a grin,
The ice man takes his off.
NOTE-The above verses remind
us of empty freight cars-nothing in
them.
Never kick a man when he is down
for you can never tell what he may
do when he gets up.
Many a man gives a soft answer
because he knows he had better.
Some people haven't as much heart
as a doughnut.
There are two things we shouldn't
worry about-things we can help and
things we can't help.
It's 'better to remain silent and
keep them in doubt, rather than say
something and let them be sure.
A cheerful loser is one that ao
cepts his losses with a smile. But
the last census showed that no such
person existed.
Deeds speak louder than words
in the real estate business.
Where there's a will there are a
lot of disappointed relatives.
If it wasn't for flattery what would
they put on tombstones?
I'm going to ask your father for
your hand to-night. Don't you wish
me luck Yes, I hope he'll have on
his slippers.
There will be a lot of unhappy
people when I get married. How
many are you going to marry.
What did your mother say when
you told her we were engaged. She
said I should have seen her first, but
I told her I preferred you.
I don't think your salary will be
enough to support me. I'm glad you
have come to that conclusion s3
early.
Don't you think a girl should
marry an economical man? I sup
pose so, but it's awful to be engagel
to one.
Would you marry me for my
money? Not if I could get it an
other way.
Am I the only girls you ever kiss
ed? Yes, what can I do you you?
Go out and get some experience and
come back to me.
