seaworthiness.
Temporarily the Mollie Lee is ruti

and fortyr minutes.

Eighth Grade Domestic Art
Class Gives a Novel
• Style Show.
TALK BY MISS
RUTH BURNS
Each Charming Lassie Has
the Stag, to Herself
In the Climax.
(By Mrs. Chas. H. Sheflield)
The stage of the Covington High
School was the Tenter of attraction
Mondayafternoon, May 16th, the at
traction being a style show given by
the Eighth Grade Domestic Art De
partment students under the super
vision of their efticient teacher, M:ss
Ruth Burns. Miss Burns gave an
interesting talk on the classes' sew
ing and spoke of the progress mada
by the girls and of how upon enter
ing some of the girls really did not
know upon which finger the thimble
belonged.
To the strains of a march the four
teen students of the class marched
upon the stage and went through
the figures of a class drill clad in
cooking aprons and caps-'twas a
lovely and refreshing sight. They
treated us to a catchy cooking song.
When they made their next ap
pearance they had donned their pic
turesque bungalow aprons and look
ed the part of complacent little
housewives.
Their next and truly imposing ap
pearance' and the climax of the style
show was when they entered as ani
mated models. Each charming lassie
had the stage to herself for a while,
The music was softly played and the
audience sat in admiration as each
model made her appearance robed in
an organdy dress, her own creation,
with all of the' frills and furbelows
dear to the feminine heart and so
appealing to\the masculine one. It
was a. panora.mnl of youth, beauty,
charm and color that passed before
the- audience-there- was lavender,
rose pink, peach, tea rose, pea green,
canary yellow, flesh, and dainty
white. Each model was admired
and applauded in turn and when the
complete class of fourteen appeared
the auditorium echoed and re-echoed
with applause for the girls, their
teacher and for the dainty and up
to-the-minute in style and dresses.

Mr. and Mrs. E. I. GAeenia.v were
guests of Mr. and sMrs. iElrer l:
Lyon this week. We had tne pleas
pre of calling on them and were s.ur.
prised to find them in the house.
Not that it is unusual to find people
in houses, but because in th:s case
we expected to find both -familiies:in
the "Duplex Publicity Car,". describ
ed as having "all the comforts .of
home" and the added attraction (W
being away fronm home at the same
time at the rare of :fifty miles" an
hour. Mrs. Greenlaw took us thiru
the Duplex Pullman, showed us tre
kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, the
water supply, the electric lights. the
reading room and. office and all the
appointments ,that have made the
"Home on Wheels" one of the won
ders of the traveling -pubilec and a
cur:osity to e` miian who had n6t
read uj on th DutpleX Truck or has
never heard M Greenlaw.tell asout
it. But wve're `seen 'so much in the
papers about thtis home on wheels
and its competition, with the Pull
man that we feel~ i-`f the other
papers had the secf : on- us. So
we'll drop it aYl say a few words
about the inventor, Mr. E. R. Green

it, only he just had toes ll Dupiex..
We think Mr. Green law is much
thb more wonderful of the'. twb.
CONSOLIDATION
OF COVINGTON
MADISONVILLE
ONE BANK
!Consolidation of These Two
Banks Makes a Bigger
"Big Bank."
$1,400,000.00 NOW
THE FIGURES USED
Covington Bank and Trust
Company Will Enlarge
Its Directorate.
The officers, directors and stock
holders of the Mads.onville Bank
and the Covington i:ank & Trust
Company have agreed to consolidate
the two banks. Tih. consolidation
of these banks will mBake a larger,
stronger and more useful bank for
both communit'es and for the entire
parish of St. Tammany. For the
town of Madisonville and vicinity
the advantag'e bvill come from the
large resources of "St. Tammany's
,Big Blank," and while the Covington
Bank- & Trust Co.ppany already oc
cupied a commanding position in the
banking field, the merging of the
two institutions Nill give it even a
more commanding position. With
capital and surplus of $175,000.00
and resources of something like
$1,400,000.00, this will be by far the
!largest and strongest bank in all the
Florida Parishes, outside of Batoi
Rouge. It is also acknowledged to
be one of the largest and strongest
country banks In the State of Lou
•siana.
The management, of the consoli
dated banks will be the same as here
tofore, excepting that the domicile
will be at COvington, where the main
office is, and the Madisonville office
will be Sun as a branch, with Mr. W.
J. Herrmann in charge, affording to
the patrons of that officee the same
facilities that- ale enjoyed ,by. the
patrons ofthe main office. The Cov
ington Bank & Trust- Company will
enlarge its directorate and place 'six
stockholders of the Madisonville
Bank on the board.
. Thus does. St. Tammany parish
take another step forward in the
financial and business world.
COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOIT GRAD
UATION EXERCISES.
As we go to press the graduation
exercises of the Covington Highl
School are in progress. FolloWing

by Governor Parker.
Mr. Thomas graduates from the
high school class.
When you look at the oar you see
it just as it is; but when you look
at Mr. Greenlaw you see him just
as he aint. You'd never think he
was a humorist to look at him and
you would never think he was any
thilg el e if you l'stened. to him and
you wouldn't believe a word he said
unless'he was talking Duplex. You
might inmag'ne he was a woma:n
tamer if Mrs. Greenlaw's back was
turned oraa woman hater if you could
separate his crisp irony from the ten
derness of his eyes. BtSt the fact is
hlie is neither. He's just a plain
Mark Twain humorist out selling
Duplex trucks to people who imagine
that tinimes are hard and money
scarce. We.don't envy him for his
job, but we do envy him for the
money he' is making out of it. And
by the waSy we have a sneaking
notfon that Mrs. Greenlaw invented
the car. Any how, the inside of it.
Mr. Greenlaw has many friends in
th's section, as he was at one time
extensively engaged in the manufac
ture of lumber near here and in
Washington and Tang'pahoa par
ishes. He has had some experiences
in that business-We mean of a hu
man interest nature-that. would
make interesting -reading, ,but you
can't get anything out of him how
but "Duplex,"

OF INTEREST
TO PUBLIC
Covington, La., May 18, 1921.
The Covington Cemetery Associa
tion assumed full control and began
work on the grave yard May 9th.
The membership drive enrolled
236 members. You who are inter
ested in the clean-up and drainage
of our cemetery will readily see that
th.s amount in dollars will not go
far in carrying out the improvements
that Mr. L. M. Bourgeois has under
taken. We expect soon to have a
splendid concrete entrance on Main
street, a pagola and tool house over
the well, the walks and driveways
cleaned, drained and hgard-surfaced.
Therefore, we are going to call on
the owners of plots and graves to
come forward, as soon as possible.
just as you do for "All Saints Day,"
and clean your plots, or make ar
rangements with Mr. Bourgeois to
have it' done, .. that he can make a
survey and draw a 'plan of the entire
cemetery and number the graves, etc.
It is his plan to build up the low
-pl~ces in the graveyard- with soil,.
lay the plots' off straight, and he.
heeds your presence to talk the mat-'
ter over, and your assistance, in at
least cleaning the ground owned by
you.' So let us get together and be
fore the real hot weather comes go
over and lend our help to this big
task that the association has under
taken.
And while we are putting this
earnest plea for co-operation we
want to announce that a big evening
festival, with 'entertainment for the
children, and amusements for, the
elders, and a dance at night will be
given June 10thfor- the benefit of
our cemetery "work. Moie Will be
published about it next' week.

could not be completed in the limit
ed time but the work will be con
tinued Tuesday, May 24, at Slidell,
and at Covingto.i at a date not yet

Those who have prescriptions for
eye drops should use them three days
before Tuesday, when they should
go before Dr. Whitmire for further
examination. Arrangement will be
made for the fitting up of a room to
be used as an operating room where
those children Vwho are unable to go
to New 'Orleans may be operated on
