ROAST TURKEY
AND PARISH
UPLIFT
WORK
Trip of Progressive Citizens
To Uneedus Pays In
Fine Results.
HOULTONS ENTERTAIN
PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE
As Result of Conference Fe
lix Bachemin Is Made
Farm Demonstrator
In spite of the bad weather pro
gressive citizens and members of the
Executive Board of the St. Tammany
Parish Progressive League made the
trip by auto to the Houlton farm at
Uneedus, last Saturday. It took
some nerve to make the trip, but
the work they accomolished was
a full reward. Also a close view of
the wonderful accomplishment of the
Houltons in the production of the
Uneedus Farms. Stock and products
stood out as a beckoning hand to
the man woh wants to farm and un
derstands his business. Also there
was the dinner. 'Everything on the
table produced on the farm-and a
30-pound turkey roasted brown.
Who wouldn't take a chance with
such a dinner as was served.
There were present at the meet
ing: Chas. and Wm. Houlton, Fritz
Salmen, John Poitevent, Theo. Den
dinger, Sr., E. J. Domergue, A. J.
Johnsocn, E. G. Davis, T. D. Cush
ing of the Great Southern 'Lumber
Company, at Bogalusa, W. E. Mor
riss and C. A. Everitt.
While there was some discussion
of the resources and opportunities
of the parish, the principal business
of the meeting was the selection of a
farm demonstrator for St. Tammany
parish who would be of benefit and
bring results. It was desired to get
the very best man who could be se
cured. Felix Bachemin, Jr., was se
lected. The salary paid.him will be
the same as he was getting in Web
ster parish, $3000. Of this amount
the police jury will pay $1800, just
what it has been paying for a farm
demonstrator. The remainder o:
the salary will be paid by the Pro
gressive League.
Dr. Perkins of the State Depart
ment of Extension Work has con
sented to release Mr. Bachemin, and
it is learned that Mr. Bachemin has
decided to accept the position.
Mr. Bachemin has made quite a
reputation, having been very succe3s
~1l in his work, and is in demand.
We are fortunate in getting him.
The Houltons are much interested
in the effort of the League to bring
St. Tammany to the front. It is
hoped that the ultimate result of the
League's work will be the settling
up of the cut-over lands of St. Tam
many parish.

tavor of the proposed Greater Agri
cultural College, according to the
large number of letters received by I
L. L. Squirea, secretary of the asno- t
ciation, from pastors of churches
from all sections of the state.
The following expressions are tak

"I am heartily in sympathy rwith

no one could expect a college to do
proper work-expected of it in 'its

COVINGTON IS
TO HAVE AN
AEROPLANE
STATION
It Is Claimed That the Situ
ation Is Ideal For
This Purpose.
CURTISS COMPANY
FAVOR THE PLAN
Site For Operating Planes
Will Probably Be At
Fair Grounds.
The Curtiss Company have in view
the establishment of a flying station
in Covington. At the recent fair an
aeroplane demonstration was given
under great disadvantages, because
there was not suitable ground for
making landings and starting flights.
This was due to the fact that the
ground was fenced in and adjoining
ground not prepared for this pur
pose. The situation is fine and there
is plenty of room by takiag in ad
joining land.
The Association of Commerce is
now forming plans to have the Cur
tiss Conrpany establish a station here
and will provide the ground needed
for it. It is understood that the
plan has been favorably received.
Airplanes are rapidly coming into
commercial use and will soon be used
largely in business and pleasure.
An important part of the equipment
of a company of this kind will be its
stations, having the same relation
as the depot has to the railroad.
A station here now means that we
will soon be using the air for freight
and passenger service. No road bed
to keep up nor right of way to ob
tain. Just p l a i n sailing.' This
sounds funny, but it is fast coming.

NOTICE TO THE PUBIdC.
In view of the fact that reports
have been circulated that the sale of
soft drinks would carry a very heavy
license, in some instances stated as
high as $500, which would be pro
hibitive to the small business man,
and in the further consideration that
such rumors are hurtful, unfounded
and malicious, the following infor
mation is deemed necessary:
All licenses will be in conformity
with the State law and could not
be otherwise. The town council is
just *as solicitious of the town's af
fairs as any citizen can. be. It is
just as appreciative of the fact that
n'o burdens should be placed upon
any business nor any strictures in
flicted that can be avoided. In moat
instances it is probabe that the
license will not exceed $10. It will
depend upon the amount of business
that is done.
The office of the town secretary is
open from 9 a. m. till 4 p. m. He
will gladly furnish you information
on such matters if you will call on
him. It will save you from misun
derstandings and the effect of
malicious reports.
Respectfully,
TOWN OOUNCIL OF COVINGTON,
'L. A. PERREAND,
Secretary.

resumed his position with the rall

looked forward to many happy year;
of wedded life, when suddenly the
cold hand of death came and all the
beautiful dreams were destroyed and
the sweet girl-wife awoke to the facd
that:

Alone with her sorrow and tears,
That never again would her mate's

NEWS FROM THE
OFFICE OF THE
GOOD ROADS
COMMISSION
Bids Received For Dressing
And Graveling The
Talisheek Road.
VILLERE GETS
CONTRACT $47,986.50
The Bids on Bogue Chitto
Swamp Bridge and
Other Matters.
Bids were received by the Good
Roads Commission last Saturday on
the Covington-Talisheek road for
dressing up and graveling this road,
which were opened at noon, and are
as follows:
Myers Construction Co., Hatties
burg, Miss., $95,490.50.
A. P. Boh & Co., New Orleans, L.a.,
$72,289.90.
Harry L. Villere, New Orleans,
La., $47,986.38.
These bide were submitted to
cover the shaping up, grading, bridge
building, culverts, placing the gravel
on the road and doing all the work
necessary to complete the road for
travel, with the parish furnishing the
gravel at the railroad sidings.
A. P. Boh submitted a bid propos
ing to furnish all the gravel and do
all the work necessary to complete
the road for $131,001.50. The two.
highest bids were rejected and the
bid of Mr. Villere was retained and
taken under advisement with the
view of investigating the feasibility
of awarding the contract to him.
This investigation will be reported
upon this Saturday (to-day) at whi:h
time the contract will be awarded or
rejected, depending on the findings
of the investigation.
It is estimated that at the present
prices of material and freight rates
that the material for this road would
cost approximately $30,000. This
would figure an average of about
$5700 per mile for the road, includ
ing everything.
Bids on the bridges In Bogue
Chitto swamp were received Friday
and presented to the Commission on
Saturday of last week, and were re
jected. The bids were rejected to
permit of a change in the plans and
specifications which will anticipate
new timber for both bridges and per
mit the old bridge on Black bayou
to remain in place as petitioned by
the citizens of that community. BidA
will be received for this work by the
Commission on Saturday, Feb. 7.
All the bridges and culverts on the
Range Line load have been complet
ed, but due to the rainy weather
very little progress has been made
in the way of grading.
Work on the Turnpike road has
been practically at a standstill and
the contractors have filed applica
tion for a sixty day extension on
their time, on the ground that there
is being so much rain that they can
not do anything on the road in the
way of grading.
