We learn this week that the peo-
pie of Loreauville aud the Fausse
Point section who have twice vo-
ted against q special tax to drain
that beautiful section, arc today
realizing their error and seem
anxious to again take up this mat
ter With the people OF this town
and the Pointe Claire and Cotesu
Home sections. They realize that
a canal made Of Coulss Pointe
Claire connecting the lake and the
Teche and q small system Of L.
wees and draining machines,
would reclaim every acre Of that
fine section and would insure good,
safe crops every year. That this
plan 10 feasible. 10 admitted and
advocated by all those who know
the topography of that
section. We have the lands in
this country, the only thing We
need 10 good drainage and protec-
ton against overfows. and it is
claimed that both are possible in
this Pointe Claire section, at q
comparatively small cost. within
the easy means of the people if
they only come together and agree
to 20 to work.

B oil Weevil Campaign.

The boil weevil is in this parish
and this season has destroyed
nearly half of the cotton crop. We
may reasonably expect that the
weevil here will do what it did
elsewhere. remain three or more
years and ruin all crops which will
not be planted and cultivated un-
der conditions favorable to tho
and unfsvorsble to the weevil.
We have the advantage of other
sections and the experience of the
scientists who have made q spe.
cisl study of the weevil, it's nature.
habits etc., which give US . chance.
under present conditions. to raise
cotton With better advantage than
those sections. some years ago,
who were attacked by tho pest and
plant knew nothing about it.
To-day. il We follow the instruc-
tons. burn the stalks early, pillow
our lands in tho fall, get early ma.
turing seeds and with scientific
cultivation, q good and safe crop
can be made before tho appear.
ance of the insect pest.
But, to do this. the farmers
must DO educated to this, those
who are interested, in every COM
munity must organize and make it
q duty to hold meetings in every
section Of tho parish, and tho
roughly inform those Of our
planters who do not keep posted
on such matters how to proceed in
order to continue to cultivate cot.
ton successfully in weevil infested
sections.
We would like to have our pso.
pie to take an interest in this eli
important matter and to discuss
it, organize at once, aud visit the
cotton sections before tho planters
leave the farms for tho sugar
grinding. The stalks must be
burned as carly as possible, and
this the planters should do before
the grinding season 40 most of
them will have to remsin on the
sugar plantations until late in Do.
oember or January.
The time to organize and 20 to
work is right now. Some of the
neighboring towns have already
organized and are holding meet.
ings with the farmers which are
sure to bring good, and satisfac-
tory result.

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

What shall it matter, when toll is done,
The worry and care that we know today
What if the race be lost won,
When life runs such little way?
Vanity, hate and the greed of men,
Why not cast them aside and live
The simple creed the heart knows when
The first sweet blooms their lessons give?
What shall it matter. the fume and fret,
The striving and all that the world may dole
What of the spoil that the hands may get,
Can it turn to white backened soul!
Better, l say, the rags and tatters.
And a mind that holds not doubts nor fears,
Than tinsel and gold that ruins, skaters
And masks that cover the binding tears.
Better a life of simple pleasures
Far from the sins that stain, deface--
The soul must leave both fame and treasures
When clay returns to the earth's embrace.
Better, l say. than the spoil that skaters,
Better by far if the way you've trod
Has been the way of rags and tatters,
If they bring to the heart the maker-God!

uaty of the appearance of the Blessed Virgin to

If these questions only trouble but do not move
you to adhesion, how do you account for the copious
flow of water where water was never known to APP
pear? Since these waters, having no therapeutic
or medicinal value began to flow, their touch has
given sight to the blind, speech to the dumb and
hearing to the deaf. How do you explain all this
If it does not come from the hands of God, by
change in the laws of nature, then it is greater
miracle than the apparitions themseles. If you
permit your common sense little fair play, you
will not bedisturbed by the scotng, jeering calum
MES and lies heaped upon it all by men of motor
iously loose lives and of no faith, will you be
disturbed by the shrug of the shoulder of the free
and easy Catholic who approaches the Sacraments
once in ten years. And now let us listen to Our
Divine Lord. Dives is in hell and: Lifting up his
eyes when he was in torments he saw Abraham afar
off and Lazarus in his bosom: 4. And he
said: then, father, beseech thee that thou would
send him to my fathers house, For ] have five
brothers: that he may them lest they also
come into this place of torment:
"And Abraham said to him: they have Moses
and the prophets; let them hear them But Dives
said No, father Abraham; but if one went to
them from the dead they will do penance. And
Abraham said to him: if they hear not Moses and
the prophets, neither will they believe if rise
again from the dead"
Human nature does not change. As it was in
the days of Our Blessed Lord so is it now. Won
ders are accomplished and miracles wrought
at the threshold but the seed of these miracles
falls on barren soil and no harvest is reaped in the
autumn. HUBERT LARKIN.

MY SHADOW.


have little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I
see.
He is very, very like from the heels UP to the
head
And see him jump before me when I-jump into
my bed
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes
to grow
Not at all like proper children. which is always
very slow
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an indian
rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets SO little that there's none
of him at all.
He hasn't got notion of how children ought to
And can only make fool of me in every sort of
way.
He stays so close beside me- he's coward you can
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow
sticks to me.
One morning, very early before the sun was up.
l rose and found the shining dew on every butter
cup,
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepyhead
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep
in bed.
