VOL. 47 No. 49 PARISH FAIR IS EVEN BETTER IN SOME RESPECTS THAN BEFORE School Parade and Poultry Show Win High Com- ment As Best Ever FRIEDLANDER ORANGE EXHIBIT MVIany Departments Exceed Last Year, But Stock Show Fails The School Exhibit. The sebool exhibit at the Parish Fair this year was superior over alt other exhibits of past years. There was a very lively interest displayed in all competitive work, and most of the teachers were on hand when the judges were looking over the work. The booths were beautifully and. artiaticaizy arranged, and the entire hall had a festive appearance. Visitors Swarmed into the build- ing the four days of the fair and fav- ,orable comments were heard on all Sides. The Covington High School cap- tured the cup for the most artistic ,cotn; Madisonville a cup for the best school with over four teachers; 'l'alisheek a cup for the three-room schools; Abita Springs for the best v isiting school in the parade. Cov- ington High also won the athletic cup, and Mrs. V. Z. Young's room won tire cup given by School League for best appearance in parade. Cov- ialgon High and Slidell High carried almost equal honors in ribbons, the first named being a little in the lead. "Jandeville had a splendid exhibit, but worked at rather a disadvantage, having to put in as a Junior and High t;chool. Madisonville, Folsom, Cen- tral, Pearl River, Audubon and Sun ill made a -splendid showing and shared in the ribbons. It is to be regretted that no one- room or two-roam schools exhibited, as we had a lovely silver cup for each in the competitive work. St. Scholastica's, St. Catharine, of Madisonville, Our Lady of the Lake, Mandevjille, all had booths with their usual excellent work dnd captured silver cups and ribbons. We want to thank all teachers and pupils and supporters and helpers in the work on School Day. To say that it was a success, is speaking mildly, and it is all due to the won- derful spirit shown. MRS. J. C. BURNS, Chairman Educational Dept. We publis below part of the awards at the fair. The others have not yet been completed and will be puo- .Jished next week. In many respects the fair was bet- ter than last year. There was more system, there were no disturbances of any kind, and while there was some disappointment in not having the hal oan and aeroplane stunts, it was unavoidable and in no way at- tributable to the fair management. The midway still offered opportunity for a lively time. Mrs. C. S. Engle refused to take any commission for her work "and besides gave each of the deaf mutes of Chinchuba a doll, and let it be noticed that the boys were just as anxious to get the dolls as the girls were and had a good tinme with them. There were 55 dolls. Mr. Gibbs gave each of the mutes three free rides and Mr. Troy gave each a toy balloon. The dismal disappointment was the stock department. Had It not been for a few kind foliks who want- ed to help things along, there would have been nothing, and these exhib- ftors are deserving of the hearty thanks of all. Ticks are given the lblame for this failure. Cattle o: value could not be safey brought into a tick infested district. 'lhe p~oultry show was a credit- and would have been to any fair in the state. It was the finest poultry show we have ever had. We have published pictures of some of the winners, whose names will he found in 11e list of awards. Others that we tried to get failed because of the darkness in the interior and the fact that chickens could not be kept stil long enough for the exposures. We also give a view of Mr. Fried* lander's display of oranges suited to the climate of and grown-in St. Tarn- many par sh. Mr. Friedlander is doing wonderful work in this indus- try. It is said that he can hardly tupply the trees in demand. - The agricultural display was good in quality, but was not as large as last year. This is said to be due to not having a farm agent to get out among the farmers and encouragt them to grow for exhibition. Both President Warner and Secre- tary Mlnckler worked hard for suc- cess, and at least financially put things through. With proper co- operation, the fair would have beemi the biggest on record in ever'y way. The educational department and the women's department, as well as the women- whfo fed the hungry, drc de'vrving of credit. The band was fine and the dane mug wa greatly enjoyed. Mr. Beavers bad some beautiful Studebaker Six's on exhibition the second day. They did not reach here I for the opening and were therefore not mentioned last week. Mr. Beavers won two of the aut'a races and Mr. Henry Levy two. Tit ( for tat. The grandest thing of the fair, i SLIDELL MAKES GOOD SHOWING SCHOOL WORK AT THE FAIR Fine in School Parade and 'Wins Seventeen Ribbons in School Exhibits LYCEUM WILL BE HELD NOV. FIRST Miss Long Wins McDaniel Prize; Personal and Local Mention (By Staff Correspondent) The school children attended the Fair in Covington again this year, making a better showing than ever before. Our booth was well stocked with material that showed excellent talent and earnest effort of the pupils. Seventeen blue ribbons and unnumbered red and white ones were awarded. Slidell High School competed with St. Paul's College in a basket ai1l game,, the score being 58 to 2 in favor of Slidell. A basket ball court is nearing cnm- pletion on the grounds next to the Community House. The boys are very enthusiastic about getting it completed.

It was even better than last year. Abita won the cup for thb best appearance of any visiting school, and the third grade (Mrs. V. Z. Young, Covington, teacher) won the cup for the best grade work. While St. Scholastics. was not com- peting, it was given special mention for fine appearance. Chinchuba, as usual, helped to brighten tile parade. The parade this year marched a'round the athletic field at the fair grounds and was dismissed by grade as it made the circle, making a very pretty picture and an orderly dis- missal. The ball game Saturday between St. Paul's College and Covington re- sulted in a 4-4 tie, the game being called after the tenth -inning. Sunday, Madisonville beat Coving- ton in a hard-fought game by a score of 1 to 0.

Did the flu force you to do some unwelcome bunk fatigue, and leave your pumps in a rotten condition? Did you slice your index finger off while carving spuds for the Royal Chef while on K. P. -detail? Did you inhale some of the German gas, swear that you only, puff and never inhale again? If any of these things happened to you while wear- ing the old O. D. and doing twelve to twenty-four hours a day for thirty per and chow and you find that since going back to the old job that you sort of have to dodge the boss to hold on, or if he has caught you at it and let you go and you now find that it you are lucky enough to get a job that you can't hold it; why you are the chap that your Uncle Sam Ts cooking for. Do you know that if you were wounded or disabled to such an ex- tent that you can't carry on in the old job that you are entitled to Com- pensation and Vocational Training? Did you ever hear of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance or the Federal Board for Vocational Rlehabilitatibn? Well, these are the two mighty big Governmental Bureaus which have been combined and are now known as the U. S. Veterans' Bureau. they- are working night and day to find chaps like you that had a little hard luck while in the service and to give you what your Country has provided for you. When you go meet the squad, be sure to take your discharge and any other papers you may have with you. Colonel C. R. Forbes, Director of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, has in- structed all his fourteen district managers throughout the United States to put on an intensive clean- up drive which will last about three months, in order to comb the country for fellows just like you, men, who have a disability as a result of their service in the World War who do not know that they are entitled to aid. Colonel Dallas B. Smith, the new manager of District No. 6, with head-s quarters at the New Hibernia Bank Building, New Orleans, has organiz- ed three clean-up squads which have been at work siftce the 20th of Aug. One squad is working in Alabama, one in Louisiana; and one in Mis- sissippi. There is an advance man who goes ahead of the squad about one week and who will advertise the coming of the squad through the pfess, by posters, hand bills, Ameri- can Legion Posts, churches, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, postmasters, Red Cross Chapters and every available medium in order to get the good word to all the boys that may have a claim against their Uncle Sammie. So, if (Continued on page 2i Class B Division 1-Mae Etta Galender, Ramsay. Division 2-Beryl Dutsch, Coving- ton. Division' 3-Albertine Branton, Madisonville. Division 4-Eucharist Doby, Man- deville.

A close second in the boys was Master (Continued on pkge-4) JENKINS-PELAR FOUND GUILTY GET 15 YEARS District Court was in session all, last week until Tuesday of this. Judge Carter presided and District Attorney Brook prosecuted. The Jenkins-Pelar murder case at- tracted great interest, the first trial having resulted in a mistrial. A jury was secured after several panels were exhausted: The jury as accepted consisted of Jos. J. Levy, James M. Levy, Steve Josza, Albert Bechac, Eugene L. Martin, Harvey Rousseau, Will Yates, J, Hlitchinson, L. C: Can- ton, Will Weinsbach, Edmund A. Barlow and Arthur E. Wilson. In the mistrial, the case of Jenk- ins and Pelar were tried separately. rhis time they were tried jointly, as conspirators. Both took the stand in their defense. The defense attorneys were Judge T. M. Burns and Fred. J. Heintz. Mr. LeWis :L. Morgan was employed to assist in the prosecution. It is the first time in the history of St. Tammany parish, it is said, where a former mistrial had occurred, that the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Wherever there was pub- lic comment the jury was commend- ed for its decision. When the defendants were sent- enced later, Judge Carter told there they had been convicted after a fair and impartial trial. He said' that in the years to come while they were serving, their sentence he hoped they would learn to be better men. He -told- Pekir---that--he--considered -him only a boy, the cause of the crime; that only the providence of God had prevented him (Pelar) from killing the poor old woman; that he was lucky to escape with his life, and that they could be tried again on th- charge of lying in wait, etc. Judge Carter told him he might shorten his term by good behavior. Both were sentenced to not less than 15 nor more than 20 years in penitentiary for manslaughter. Other cases tried and decisions were as follows: Criminal Proceedings State vs. Willie Lee.

One to a man of high character and standing, sign- ed "K. K. K." and one to a teacher in the colored school not signed at all, but having skull and cross bones, a red label taken from a bottle o: poison being pasted on the bottom. Bothlretters threaten death or bodily violence. These letters have been turned over to proper government officials and a search will be made for the writer. The.-lffalty is quite severe. It could not be thought for a minute that anything of that kind abuld be permitted to go unpunished. While one of the letters is signed "K. K. K." it Is readily understood that such crude and bungling' work could not be attributed to that order. It is thought the author of these let- ters will -soon be in hand.

Mr. Illy was a native of New Orleans. He was buried In the Covington Cemetery, Rev. Father John Burger of St. Peter's Catholic Church offi- ciating. Mr. Illy was well known and high- ly respected. He came to Coving- ton In January, 1900, where he rep- resented .the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad -Company as sta- tion agent from that time until be- retired in March, 1919. Mr. Illy was fond of his home and found much pleasure and needed ex- ercise in his garden, which he tended carefully.` He was also fond of motoring, and he and Mrs. Illy were frequently seen in their car, especial- ly after the gravel roads made driv- ing pleasant. After Mr. Illy became troubled with high -blood -pressure, he still continued to work In his garden, although he was advised that the weakened condition of his heart made such work risky. He said he experienced ne incopvenlence or trouble from it. -Mr. Illy probably did not realize his weakness until stricken. Mr. Illy's death'was a shock to his many friends, who found it hard t" realize the great change -that may come In a few days. - Mr. Illy Is survived by his widow; his mother, Mrs. Caroline Illy; two sisters, Mrs. J. Snyder, of New Or- leans, and Mrs. Francis Durnayn, of Amite City, La. Howard Huddleston. -Judgment in favor of plaintiff In sum of $200.00. Bertha T.

PARISH FAIR ISEVEN BETTER INSOME RESPECTSTHAN BEFORE

School Parade and PoultryShow Win High Com-

ment As Best Ever

FRIEDLANDERORANGE EXHIBIT

MVIany Departments ExceedLast Year, But Stock

Show Fails

The School Exhibit.The sebool exhibit at the Parish

Fair this year was superior over alt

other exhibits of past years. There

was a very lively interest displayed

in all competitive work, and most ofthe teachers were on hand when thejudges were looking over the work.

The booths were beautifully and.artiaticaizy arranged, and the entirehall had a festive appearance.

Visitors Swarmed into the build-ing the four days of the fair and fav-,orable comments were heard on allSides.

The Covington High School cap-tured the cup for the most artistic,cotn; Madisonville a cup for thebest school with over four teachers;'l'alisheek a cup for the three-roomschools; Abita Springs for the bestv isiting school in the parade. Cov-ington High also won the athleticcup, and Mrs. V. Z. Young's roomwon tire cup given by School Leaguefor best appearance in parade. Cov-ialgon High and Slidell High carriedalmost equal honors in ribbons, thefirst named being a little in the lead."Jandeville had a splendid exhibit,but worked at rather a disadvantage,having to put in as a Junior and Hight;chool. Madisonville, Folsom, Cen-tral, Pearl River, Audubon and Sun

ill made a -splendid showing andshared in the ribbons.

It is to be regretted that no one-room or two-roam schools exhibited,as we had a lovely silver cup for eachin the competitive work.

St. Scholastica's, St. Catharine, ofMadisonville, Our Lady of the Lake,Mandevjille, all had booths with theirusual excellent work dnd capturedsilver cups and ribbons.

We want to thank all teachers andpupils and supporters and helpers inthe work on School Day. To saythat it was a success, is speakingmildly, and it is all due to the won-derful spirit shown.

MRS. J. C. BURNS,Chairman Educational Dept.

We publis below part of the awardsat the fair. The others have notyet been completed and will be puo-

.Jished next week.In many respects the fair was bet-

ter than last year. There was moresystem, there were no disturbancesof any kind, and while there wassome disappointment in not havingthe hal oan and aeroplane stunts, itwas unavoidable and in no way at-tributable to the fair management.The midway still offered opportunityfor a lively time.

Mrs. C. S. Engle refused to takeany commission for her work "andbesides gave each of the deaf mutesof Chinchuba a doll, and let it benoticed that the boys were just asanxious to get the dolls as the girlswere and had a good tinme with them.There were 55 dolls. Mr. Gibbsgave each of the mutes three freerides and Mr. Troy gave each a toyballoon.

The dismal disappointment wasthe stock department. Had It notbeen for a few kind foliks who want-ed to help things along, there wouldhave been nothing, and these exhib-ftors are deserving of the heartythanks of all. Ticks are given thelblame for this failure. Cattle o:value could not be safey brought intoa tick infested district.

'lhe p~oultry show was a credit-and would have been to any fair inthe state. It was the finest poultryshow we have ever had. We havepublished pictures of some of thewinners, whose names will he foundin 11e list of awards. Others thatwe tried to get failed because of thedarkness in the interior and the factthat chickens could not be kept stillong enough for the exposures.

We also give a view of Mr. Fried*lander's display of oranges suited tothe climate of and grown-in St. Tarn-many par sh. Mr. Friedlander isdoing wonderful work in this indus-try. It is said that he can hardlytupply the trees in demand. -

The agricultural display was goodin quality, but was not as large aslast year. This is said to be due tonot having a farm agent to get outamong the farmers and encouragtthem to grow for exhibition.

Both President Warner and Secre-tary Mlnckler worked hard for suc-cess, and at least financially putthings through. With proper co-operation, the fair would have beemithe biggest on record in ever'y way.

The educational department andthe women's department, as well asthe women- whfo fed the hungry, drcde'vrving of credit.

The band was fine and the danemug wa greatly enjoyed.

Mr. Beavers bad some beautifulStudebaker Six's on exhibition thesecond day. They did not reach here Ifor the opening and were thereforenot mentioned last week.

Mr. Beavers won two of the aut'araces and Mr. Henry Levy two. Tit (for tat.

These letters have beenturned over to proper governmentofficials and a search will be madefor the writer. The.-lffalty is quitesevere.
