Amendment to Charter
of the
ST. TAMMANY PARISH FAIR A.
SOCIATION, INC.
United States of America, State of
Louisiana, Parish of
St. Tammany.
Be it known, that on this 29th day
of December, A. D., 1919, before me,
Karl J. Kohnke, a Notary Publie
within and for the Parish of St. Tam
many, State of Louisiana, and in the
presence of the undersigned witness
es, personally came and appeared
J. H. Warner and N. H. FitzSimoas,
residents of said parish, to me per
sonally known, who declared that
the said J. H. Warner was chairman
and the said N. H. FitzSimons was
the secretary of a meeting of the
stockholders of the St. Tammany
Parish Fair Association, Inc., in Cov
ington, Louisiana, on the 15th day
of August, A. D., 1917, and that all
of the stockholders of said corpora
tion were present at said meeting, in
person or by written proxy.
And said appearers declared that
at such meeting of the stockholders
a resolution was adopted by the
unanimous vote of all the stockhold
era that Article IV of the articles of
incorporation of said corporation
should be amended, and said Article
IV was duly amended so as to read
as follows:
ARTICLE IV.
The corporate powers of this cor
poration shall be vested in and ex
ercised by a Board of Directors,
which shall consist of twenty-five
stockholders, five of whom shall con
stitute a quorum for the transaction
of business. Said Directors shall hbe
elected annually from among th3
stockholders on the second Tuesday
in January of each year, commenc
ing on the second Tuesday in Janu
ary, 1920.
Notice of such election shall be
given by written notice properly ad
dressed to each stockholder at least
fifteen (15) days before such meet
ing.
At said election, and at all othqr
meetings of the stockholders, the
voting shall be by ballot, and each
share of stock shall le entitied to
one vote by the owner in person, ?r
by written proxy.
Within one wcek of their election,
as above provided fer, the Board of
D:rectors shall elect from among
their number a president, a vice
president, a secretary, a treasurer.,
and a general manager, provided tha:
one person may hold the offices of
both secretary and general manager
and all of said officers and directors

a period of one year from the date
of their election, or until their suc
cessors are elected. But the failure

Schonberg's Pharmacy and Me
Cormack's Economy Store were rob
bed Monday night. Entrance was
gained through the rear of the pream
ises. In McCormack's store the
thieves got in through the transom.
The only thing taken, as far as is
known, was a ham valued at $6.00.
Schonberg's Pharmacy was enter
ed through the. window of a 'ba.k
storeroom. $5.00 in cash was taken
from the register. Other things
that may have been taken can not
be known without taking stock.
Schonberg's Pharmacy has been
entered several times, in each in
stance entrance being made in the
same way and things taken indicat
ing that the robbery was committed
by boys. The thief of Monday night
was evidently familiar with the ,place,
as the light left burning all nigh'
was turned off by some one familiar
with the switch location..
Mr. Schon'berg has had the win
dow protected by iron bars, so that
in future thieves will have to firs:

Some effort should be made to
catch the thieves and punish tieum
The great trouble seems to be that
if caught there is no p·laee where
juveniles can hbe taken care of and
no law under which to punish them.
The penitentiary is not the place for
them, as they would only come out
confirmed criminals. If there was
some refuge where they could be
taught and weaned from a life of
crime there would be no hesitancy in
arresting them. They could easily
be caught. But even as it is, some
thing should be done.

THE PRAYER HEARD AROUND
THE WORLD.
With "the prayer around the
world" the New Year was ushered
in. In a thousand tongues it was
spoken at Watch-Night services In
near and distant places; in the great
cities of the western wor:d no less
than in distant villages on easters
hills. It was heard by the kneeling
women in a New York pew, by the
barefoot Igorot headhunter, by Cai
nese converts with bowed heads, by
Hindu women listening reverently
with their arms folded crosswise on
their breasts, by Persian, Japanese,
Syrian, Russ, indeed, by all the peo
ple of the world.
From New York, its starting point,
the prayer has been sent around the
world by the Inter-church World
Movement of North America, a move
ment to bring about Protestant co
operation. By telegraph it has been
sent to the great denominations of
this country; by cable it has been
sent to England and the East. Thus
it has been dispatched to every mis
sion center everywhere, and from
every mission center it has gone -n
again in the language of the coun
try to every Protestant mission sta
tion near and far.
This prayer is the first ever to 13
sent around the world, the first ever
to be translated into a thousand lan
guages and spoken simultaneously
in countless places. With one voics,
though in many tongues, it calls fjr
'-the elevatiop of justice and of
brotherhood" and appeals for the
hastening of that "Kingdom where
justice, mercy and love shall rule
the hearts and hands of men."
To Mexico City and Montevideo.
the prayer was cabled for South and
Centr'Ql America; to Shanghai also,
and from there it was relayed to
Japan. the Philippines, Malaysia and
Oceanica, to Lahore, India, for dis
tribution through India and the sur
rounding countries; to Recht, Per
sia; and to Beirut, Syria, for the
Levant. To Cairo for the northern
stretches of Africa; to Bolobo for the
darkest places,of the Congo; to DI)al
ban for South Africa for the Zulu
and the Bore. To Uppasala, Sweden,
and Zurich, Switzerland, for all tas
countries of Europe. From each of 1
these mission centers it was sent out !
to the out-station everywhere, and i

, hard to turn ih a generous sum. Tha
« total amount turned in was $198.28.
a few returns yet to be made, which
will probably net us $200 in all,
This amount fell far short of the
quota given to Covington, but the
public has been called on so many
times. The campaign was a worthy
one and the money spent to extermi
nate the germ of tuberculosis is well
spent.

IBIJACKWELL NEW8.
The long dry spell seemed to have
been broken with a goodly number
of our citizens, tho the downpour
was not so copious as of yore. It
has -been said of old that when a com
munity failed to pay the preacher
that it was generally dry.
We have another thought, name
ly: that wet stuff and preachers are
very much like the H. C. of L., and
sometimes the quality is not u. to
the standard.
All patrons and children of the
Folsom Graded School regret that
Prof. Leo Smiley has resigned as
principal. His administration has
been the most satisfactory so far of
any teacher yet employed here. Mr.
Smiley goes to Arkansas to accept a

are one of the most useful set of peo
ple in the land. We hope that they
may be sufficiently compensated soon.

THE T.-P. COMES
COMES OUT
BOLDLY FOR
WINNER
Gives In Editorial Strong
Reasons Why Parker
Should be Elected.
ALWAYS WORKED
FOR CITY AND STATE
Known Nationally And In
Louisiana as a Worker
for Public Good.
During the campaign now drawing
to an end, The Times-Picayune hay
watched with close attention and
growing concern the issues raised,
the lines drawn, and the records re
vealed.
It has reached the deliberate and
settled conclusion that the best in
terest of New Orleans and of Louisi
ana as a whole will be served by the
nomination of John M. Parker as the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
And it urges upon those citizens of
this commonwealth who wish to see
in city and state an administration
that !s forceful, fearless and efficient,
that they bend their best efforts to
make John M. Parker successful in
the primaries on January 20.
Louisiana needs above all else at
) this time, the quality of civic leader
ship which can rise above the claims
of faction, deal diligently and alertly
with the crying business needs of
is nearly all state activities, and devote
n. itself to the public's interest without
fear or favor. John M. Parker, by
his record, by his utterances, by the
le lines drawn and the facts proven, is
1n shown, The Times-Picayune believes.
to be the candidate better qualified
r' to furnish that leadership.
8 For a time that reaches beyond
51 the personal experience of the young
er generation of voters, John M.
e Parker has been a public figure, in
Louisiana. He has been a public
figure because, in season and out, he
has been rendering public service
and always a tthe call of some worthy
element seeking the help of a strong
man with a sound heart and a good
head, willing to spend himself for
his fellows.
He is known in every parish, and
he knows every parish.
He has fought the battles of high
water on the river front from Eng
lish Turn to Lake Providence. He
e has argued the cause of levees to the
voters of the Louisiana hills and in
Committee rooms of Congress.
He helped organize the cotton
1 growers of the western parishes to
help stem the advance ot the Ibol!
weevil. He helped preach the cause
of diversified farming and modern
agriculture from the Mississippi line
to the Sabine river.
He worked with the rice growers
of the South and the cane growers
of the "sugar bowl" for intercostal
canals, better drainage, better roads,
fairer legislation.
He has found room in a busy life
to give his time without fees, with
out recompense in place or title, for
the public good, in greater measure,
than any other living Louisianian.
He has done this becaues he was
John M. Parker, and because there
dwelt within him that equality of
sympathy for his fellowmen that is
an index to the single-mindedness
and the high devotion that will mark,
we know, his career as governor.
These years of free giving of time
and energy, thought and action, have
been years of learning and of growth. b
There is not today in Louisiana an
other man who is' better qualified to
sense the sincerity in any plea for
legislation, to find the truth in any
problem of execution, that may co~e
before the chief executive.
He knows the city, as a business
man, a taxpayer, a householder, a
parent. He knows the cunntry as a is
planter, a stock-raiser, a farmer, a
campaigner for roads and schools r
and better living conditions. He has tl
worked with the poor and with the
rich. He has ploughed as well as G
planted, sown as well as reapeid.
And men, by him, are judged on their
worth as men, and not by what they
have or what they were.
He knows Louisians as no other
Louisianian knows her. And he is
known, in Louisiana and cut of Zoe:- tb
isiana; better than any other citizen. at
John M. Parker rings sound and in
true to every test.
His record of service, done is nis
guarantee of service to be rendered.
And fortunate will Louisiana be to
have as governor for four years, withb
the high opportunities of that office.
the man who has served Louisiana se
so generously, so intelligently, so
courageously, so unselfishly, and so
long, in private station.
John M. Parker should be nomi
nated.
