the whole town in a number of ways.
The people gave money: for the cause
Sreadily, and I am now publishing
Sthe amount received on this kitchen,
who from, and just how the amount
Sreceived was spent. I ask that any

CO-OPERATIVE
SPIRIT IN NEW
CONTRACT
The town of Covington and the
St. Tammany Tee & Manufacturing
:Cdmpany have just signed up a new
five-year contract. While: this may
have a very simple sound, it means
much to the people of Covington as
well as to the lighting company.
During the war public utility com
panies all.over the United States had
a hard time of it. High cost of
labor and material fixed a price on
profitable service that miade the pub
lic dollar look like fifty cents. Then
came the thrift campaign and the
"save-the-penny" slogan that made
lights go out early and brought shoe
leather into competition with street
railways. The tublic could econo
mize, but some of the public utilties
ihad reached the bottom of economy
and- there, was a loud cry for assist
ance from the Government.
The St. Tammany Ice & Manufac
turing Company held a franchise
from Covington and under its con
tract could not raise the rates to the
town. - On the other hand, it did not
raise its rates.to the general public
.because it had mapped out recon
structiNe pains for a service that
-would place Covington in the front
ranks of the up-to-date towns of the
state. But to accomplish this object
required the installation of new ma
chinery and equipment at a cost that
was almost prohibitive in view of the
returns for service, unless the field
could be extended.: In the face of
this came the question of the ex
tension of the franchise with the
town. It is right here that diplomacy
and consistent co-operation between
the town hnd company worked out
a plan that will conserve public in
terests and at the same time enable'
the company to develop a profitable
service.
-The committee appointed by the
town council to work out this prob
lem is to be commended for its en
ergy, for its broad and liberal policy
and for the'thoroughness with which
it entered into all the details asso
ciated with a contract of this kini.
It ;was composed of C. E. Schonber,;,
chairman; Chas. H. Sheffield, A. R.
Smith. Its investigations included a
compilation of statistics realtive to
franchises in various towns of the
state and a personal visit to Ham
mond."' All facts in the case were
traced and sifted out in their bear
ings upon the cost, conditions and
field here, and in working out their
adaptation to Covington, Mr. Fred
erick and Mr. Planche laid all the
cards face up on the.taible and played
the game fair and squarely. The re
sult is a contrait that will give the
public electricity at from 16 t6 25
per cent cheaper than under the old
franchise, with a decreased, minimum
rate for business places and the can
celing of the moon-light schedule.
Mr. C. E. Schonberg, chairman of
the committee, 13 especially entitled
to credit and thanks for the time
and hard work he 'has devoted to ac
complishing these results, and the
public will no doubt appreciate the
liberality and fairness with which Mr.
Frederick and Mr. Planche met the
suggestions of the -committee. It is
also worthy of comment to note that
the;St. Tammany Ice & Manufactur
ing Company is widening its field by
taking in the towns of MandevillQ,
Madisonvill eand Aibita Springs, and
that by improvement in its equip
ment and extension of its service
will soon be in a position to make
the use of electricity profitable in
the domestic service of the house
hold as well as for power for the
manufacturer. It has so many uses,
from running the sewing machine to
cooking the dinner, that cost of pro
duction is the only thing that stands
between it and general use.
The town council has accom.plisha
ed many things for Covnigton nroti
visible to the uninformed.- On a!
much redtuced revenue, it is clear-,
ing away old debts, meeting current
expenses and keeping the town .mor
ally clean as far as possible. The
mayor has impartially enforced the
Law in his court aand is using _what
*FARMERS FAIL
GET AGENTS
BACK
It was hoped that the Police Jury
would see its way clear to continu
ing the work of the farm and club
agents at its 'meeting last Tuesday,
Sbut the only members who voted for
it were Theo. Dendinger, Jr., Emile
Burkenstock ani H-. N. Fendlason.
Mr. Hpwze, chairman, did not vote
but he stated he was in favor of it
and would try to get a recoisidera
tion of the vote at the afternoon
session, but nothing came of it.
Dr. Wilkinson, Agent for the
Southern District of the State, made
a very strong plea fo -:the worY.
Miss Flavia Gleason, district home
demonstration agent, plead earnestly
for it and afterwards wept tears
of disappointment. Mrs. J. C. Burns
in addressing the members stated
that she represented 97 women vot
ers who were all anxious for the
work to continue. Mrs. J. D. Mc
Lain, of Folsom, and Mrs. Franii
Dutsch, of Waldheim, came with pe
titions and requests for keeping up
the work. Mr. U. G. Neuhauser, of
Slidell, spoke earnestly in support of
the work. Mr. Galloway and a large
number from the second ward were
strong supporters, and there were
many outside who could not get into
the Police Jury room 'iho listened
anxiously in the hope that the tide
would turn and that favorabl'e action
would finally be taken.
Postmaster Seiler announced that
Judge Clarter had offered to adjourn
court to another room so the court
room could .be used to'admit all to a
hearing of the proceedings, but no
action was taken on this suggestion.
The club and farm agents, Mrs. Davis
and Mr. Bachemin, both spoke, and
Mr. Blachemin stated that if his work
was not satisfactory he would re
sign, but asked: that- the work be
not discontinued.
Mr. Dendinger said that he thought
money enough could be raised by
subscription to carry, the work on
until July 1, when some arrange
ment might be made to continue it.
It was thought '.hat the School Board
should pay fqr 'the club work. Mr.
Dendinger said he would give $50.00
and then Mr. Davis, of the Seventh
Ward, said he would give $25.00.
It was finally cecided .by those in
terested to carry cut the plan of pub
lic subscription. This list has been
started and will be found on this

CONVENTION OF
FEDERATED
WOMEN'S
CLUBS
Business Is Completed and
Covington Praised
By Delegates.
MAYOR BADON
MAKESA HIT
Community House Comes In
For Its Share of Favor
able Comment.
(By Anna Morrell Smith)
Th'e Sixth District Convention of
the Federation of Woman's Clubs of
Louisiana was a large success.
From the time the delegates en
tered into the beautifully decorated
Community House and were so cor
dially welcomed to our community
by Mayor Baadoi and to our clubs
by Mrs. Sheffield, up to the end of
the program by the serving of a de
lightful luncheon by Air two home
clubs, the sessions were instructive,
uplifting and really marvelous in the
presentation of the work accomplish
ed and .the work planned for the
coming year.'
The president of the Sixth Distrjct,
Mrs. A. G. Reed, of Baton Rouge,
conducted the,meeting in a most able
and easy manner. Mrs. A. F. Storm,
state president of the Federation, and
Mrs. W. M. LamD, state chairman of
industrial and social work, were both
with us. They both spoke on Wed
nesday night, and to those whom the
inclement weather kept at home, we
say that they missed a treat in not
hearing these two very interesting
women.
The music(l numbers were ibeauti
fil. Covingtonihas much to be proud
of in the possession of considerable
talent in that art. In Mrs. Unglesby
and Mrs. Menetre we have two
splendid accompanyists, While the
vocalists, Mrs. R. A. McCormack Mr.
Donald Dunn, Miss Laurance Steven
son, Mrs. Warren Smith and Mrs. C.
M. Poole displayed their accomplish
ments and talents to a great ad
vantage.
In the literary line, our district
chairman on thrift, Mrs. J. C. Burns,
covered herself with glory.
There were many reports from the
clubs in the district which showed
the diversified fields of endeavor
which all of our club women have
gone into and wherein they have fbeen
successful. It would take much
more space than can be allotted to
the subject in this paper to comment
upon the entire program. Suffice it
to say that there was not a moment
which dragged and not a number on
the program but left with the listen
ers some point of information and
inspiration.
juI 'uL UIIIULLCe yii arrautemetLuma,
headed by Mrs. E. R. Moses, started
the. ball rolling in the right diree
tion; Mr. John'Haller and Mrs. H.
H. Smith gave it a good push on
ward when they so beautifully dec
orated our meeting'place; our Mayor
added impetus to this ball of success
when he, in his big-hearted and frank
manner, presented the key of the city
to the ladies;- Mrs. Sheffield pushed it
on as spokesman for the clubs; and
so it kept on and on with each speak
er and each number until at the end
the convention was pronounced a
grand success by all, home folk and
visitors alike.
The following resolutions were'
adopted unanimously At the final ses
sion:
Be it resolved, That the officers
and members of the Sixth 'District
wish to express their appreciation
and thanks to the Mayor of Cov
ington for his generous welcome to
the city and for the key to city dur
ng our stay; and to Mrs. Sheffield for
the key to the hearts of the people,
and also for the privilege of meeting'
in this beautiful Community 'House.
cBe it ,further resolved, That we
extend our hearty thanks to the Wo
mren's Progressive Union and& School
Improvement League for the many.
courtesies and personal kidnesses
shown us, and especially to those 1
members who conveyed us to and i
from the depot and to from the ses
sions of this convention; and to Mrs.
E. R. Moses and her committee who
have looked after our comforta and
pleasures in every way, all the way
through.
Be it further resolved, That this
convention do extend our thanks t'
the committee on entertainment for
the nicely arranged program, and we
assure those who rendered the
splendid musical selections that they
afforded much pleasure to those
present.
,Be it further resolved, That we t
desire to thank our state president,
Mrs. Storm, for her presence among
us, for the valuable suggestions and(
helpful talks which she made during
this convention, and we assure her I
each one of us will return to our E
homes much benefitted.
Be it further resolved, That the ]
Sixth District Convention of the L.
F. W. C. has obtained much good
from the talks given at our meeting
by Mrs. T.Lmb, Mr. Forbes and Mr. -
Bacot, and to the officers and mem- I
bers for their untiring efforts in our
3ehalf.
Be it further resolved, That the
