SURROUNDING
FARMERS MAKE
PROSPEROUS
TOWNS
Agriculture Far the Most
Important Industry
In America
ST. TAMMANY FAMOUS
IF LAND DEVELOPED
Behind Gulf Coast While
Advantages are Much
the Greater.
(By A. E. Briggs)
- Without forms somewhere therm
would be no towns anywhere. The
food St. Tammany people eat is
nearly all produced on farms out
side St. Tammany parish. Nowadays
we hear much of the advantage di
being a self-sustaining nation, that
is, a nation which produces every
thing necessary for the sustenance of
the life of its own people. But we
seldom speak of the advantages pok
sessed by a community or parish
which produces most of the food con
sumned by its population. Agricul
ture is far the most important in
dustry in America, and it should be
the most important idustry in St.
Tammany parish. There are sev
eral reasons why, if our towns are
to grow or maintain themselves in
the future, they must be surrounded
by prosperous farms.
The farmer who sells to a home
market gets more for his produce,
and the consumer who buys from a
producer at home buys more cheaply,
because the cost of production
of imported or exported goods must
be added to the cost of transporta
tion. Who pays the freight? Both
producer and consumer shares the
cost. So it is to the advantage of
townspeople to buy produce which
is raised in the near vicinity.
Turning the waste lands of St.
Tanmnany parish, these unproduc
tivt cut-over and stump lands, into
farms will greatly increase the popu
lation of the parish. The more farm
ers we can get into our surrounding
country the larger will grow the
popu ation of our towns. The mer
chants will have more customers,
new ousinesses will spring up, new
facor es, more laborers will be em
ployed, and thus our towns will
grow rapidly when we have estab
lished an agricultural community..
And with the growth of our towns
in this parish, the better places they
will be to live in. Better streets
will be demanded, better stores, bet
ter public improvements of every k
kind, lights, water, sewerage.
When we have developed agricul
ture in this parish, St. Tammany will
become famous as a health resort.
We have very great natural advant
ages. But so far as present devel
opment has gone, almost the only
advantage which we can advertise is
pure water. What a wonderful as
set is. our good water.
And the development of the farm
ing industry here will provide us
with the other *ass't which is nec
essary before we can hope to make
St. Tammany parish a health resort
which will actually draw people.
We think it is transprotation facili
ties which we need most. A farm
ing population will demand and then
the railroad can afford to give better
transportation. But probably we are
thinking how the Gulf Coast coun
try has outgrown this parish and at
tracts so many more visitors. We
know that with less natural advant
ages on the Gulf Coast than we have,
the good service provided by the
L. & N. Ry. makes a difference in
their favor. We think the N. 0.
G. N. would find it profitable now to
make their service the equal of the
Gulf Coast service, for if they would
screen their coaches, provide siffici
ent cars for the passenger traffic,
shorten their schedule, and make
equally attractive rate, the increase
in traffic would easily wipe out the
deficit they have had in previous
seasons. It would be directly to the
profit of the railway company to ad
vertise the advantages of St. Tam
many as a summer and winter re
sort. However, we are not really
dependent upon the development of
the railroad company. A boat and
jitney service can be provideed
which will be very attractive to vis
itors and would give us immense ad
vantages over the Gulf Coast. This
matter of transportation facilities is
a challenge to the towns of the par
ish for co-operation. We must im
mediately improve transportation
facilities.
But let us not overlook the heces
sity of first-class entertainment of
our visitors. We hive lots of good
water to drink and that costs the
visitor nothing. If we could adver
tise abundance of frech country pro
duce, good milk, eggs, and green
vegetables all through the summer,
that would be one of the greatest in
ducements we could offer city .people.
But the fact of the matter is they
can get better in New Orleans stores
than can be bought in any of our
town markets. It does not spec I
well for St. Tammany gardeners that
from .Tuly on to October they have
no "greens," but only peppers, okra,
pumpkins, squash, and eggplant, and
very late in the summer there is
a dearth of any kind of green vege
tables on the market. The greatest
complaint I hear from summer visit
ors is the scarcity of "green stuff" on
the market. In the city the house
wife can buy a plenty of salad plants
for the table. And the fault is not
- Our grocers. -

CHAUTAUQUA A

MADISONVILLE
THISWEEK
Program Pleasing and Un
usually Attractive, Va
ried, Entertaining.
ST. CATHARINE
OPENS ON 12TH
Opposition To Historical
Research and Literary
.Club Criticised.
(By Staff Correspondent)
The Radcliff Chautauqua was held
in Madisonville on Oct. 3, 4 and 5,
under the direction and personal sup
ervision of Dr. R. P. Carson, of Den
ver, Colo., and was, from ail stand
points, a wonderful success. The
program in its entirety was pleasing,
and an unusually attractive one of
varied occurrence, with a definite
vicissitude at each entertainment.
The entertainers themselves are
adepts at their individual calling,
well versed in the line of profession
they follow. They were chosen,
seemingly, with the insight alone to
interest and please.
The series of lectures given sound
ed a. keynote of Americanism, and
her ideals, both political and social.
Edward Tomlinson, of Atlanta, Ga,
the brilliant young American orator
who explained America to the British
Army, topped the program on the
opening ,day and held, his audience
enthralled throughout his lectures
on "America's Political Ideals."
Dr. R. P. Carson, well known
throughout the country as a lecturer
of many and varied experiences, gave
two impressive talks the following
day, his well selected subjects being
"A Community Program," and
"American Social Ideals."
harry H'ibschman, a lawyer, of
Spokane, Wash., ahd official A. E. F.
lecturer in France, delivered two
forceful addresses on the ciosiig day
in such a virile, convincing and in
teresting style that his words occas
ioned some deep thinking in the
minds of his hearers.
The musical program was inspir
ing, amusing and interesting. The
Oakley Concert Trio, who led off the
first day with honors, are musicians
of wondrous skill and accomplish
meats. The Emerson Winters came
in for a just share of the praise with
their unique program of funny piano
logues, whistling, -bird imitations,
and, best of all, Mr. Winters' dra
niatic reading of Gene Stratton Por
ter's "The Cardinal." The Mysteri
ous Milburn concluded the seconi
day's program with novel magic en
tertainment that have the diddies
still mystified, and a flow of humor
ous witticisms that kept everybody
laughing. The last day was given
over almost entirely to the Amer.
can All-Detachment, consisting of a
squad of eight men under the com
mand of a commissioned officer, frovm
various recruiting education centers
of the government, who rendered a
short, snappy program of- drills, pop
ular songs and short speeches. All
in all, it was a grand' success-and
eager anticipation shall stand guard
'till time for the next one to roll
around. - c
St. UCatharine's Parochial School
Opened Sept. 12.
St. Catharine's Parochial School
has begun its annual session, having
opened Sept. 12th, with an enroll
ment of 68 students, and prospects
of an increased attendance in the
near future. The course of study,
mapped out for the little folks, is an
essential composite of common sense,
drawing and sight-singing; the re
quisite number of scholastic studies
and a' schedule of varied musical ac
complishments comprising the piano,
organ, mandolin and violin. The in
struction is under the efficient tutor
ship of Sisters M. Berchmans, M. Do
lores and M. Tulalie, of the order of
Perpetual Adoration.
Heard in School.
Someone has varied opposition to
the muchly discussed orginization of
an Historical Research and Literary
Society, but properly autborized, we
disagree with him. Walker, what
makes you think that such a society
does no one good? Doesn't the very
thought of Gladys' reply when re
quested to give a quotation from
Shakespeare of "From dust thou art,
to dust thou shalt return," inculcate
in your mind the sad need of this
society? Gladys, I'll bet Shakes
peare's bones rattled at that one.

NOTICE TO BOOTLEGGERS.
It has been brought to the
attention of the Fair Associa
tion management that certain
parties engaged in making and
selling liquor have stated that
they intend-to use the Fair as
a means of disposing of their
wares.
The Fair Association wishes
to warn all such parties "that
this tnrffic will not be tolerated
in or around the Fair Grounds,
and any one caught either sell
ing or offering liquor for sale
will be apprehended and turn
ed over to the United States
authorities for trial. There will
be revenue officers on the
grounds to aid in the enforce
ment of this regulation.

But a few days are left to finish
up the fair and put things in order
for visitors. As a big crowd is ex
pected, rules for parking cars will
be enforced ak follows: Oars must
be parked on left hand side of en
trance, beginning at front.
There is a fine and imprisonment
for jumping fence and trespassing.
The 17th, Monday; has been set
aside for colored, patrona' day.
Friday, the 14th, Miss Kate Gor
don will discuss anti-tuberculosis
work, and will have something to
say that will be of great interest
to every one.
The auto-race between Ford racers
promises to be hot. Both Tom
Thompson and Henry Levy seem con
fident of winning, and, barring acci
dents the race should be interesting.
The Red Cross will have two
tents, an emergency and a rest tent.
As there will be quite a 'number of
ex-service. men on the grounds, it 'is
asked that any among theta who
have unesttled claims, or who wish
information as to vocational train
ing, discharge papers, insurance or
other matters in which the Red
Cross may help, call at the tent.
They will be heartily welcomed and .
assisted if possible.
Caesar Hill, colored, announces
that he has a dog and coon that are
more chummy and will do more
tricks than any like combination that
ever traveled with a circus. Caesar
says he is sure to have them at the
fair.
The most inspiring sight of the
fair season has always been the pa
rade of school children. It is said
that the. parade this year will exceed
anything undertaken before. There
will be a hard fight for the prizes.
Those farmers who have not yet
entered their stock, poultry or pro
ducts should do so immediately. The
prizes are well worth the effort.
