THE LECTURES AT CANTRELLE's.

Exceedingly large audiences listened t.
the lectures of Rev. John Handy on Cathol
icism, at Cantrelle's Hall this week, anc
great interest was exhibited by both Catho
lies and Protestants.
A simple exposition of the tenets of the
Church and of functions clothed in mystery
to the average noncatholic, when stripped Of
all implication of being dissertations on de-
fective Professionalism or abrasions of the
tender spots in the creeds of the different
Churches, should appeal to the interest Of
everyone as an opportunity for the acquisi'
ton of information not easily obtained in
any other way.
1t also offers field that can be reached in
no other way by the Catholic Church. The
lectures are listened to by people who vol.
UNFAIRLY go there for that purpose and who
are presumably DESTROYS of enlightenment
as to the teachings of the Catholic Church,
and presumably willing to be disabused OF
any false notions they have entertained.
But the introduction of the question box
produces situation that becomes embar.
RAISING to Catholics and Protestants alike.
There are questions that cannot be satisfac.
torily answered by mortal man, and any at.
tempt to do so becomes an exhibition OF
weakness to be coddled by the agnostic and
firted as triumph by the questioner.
The meetings on the whole have been very
interesting and instructive and have beer
enjoyed by all. They should help to teach
that all churches have but one object, the
saving of souls, and that any idiosyncracies
so to speak, are the heirlooms of ancient
custom and no part of the power of redemp
ton.

THE AVENUES OF CONVICTION.

The beauty of the future Coyington viii
never be fully realized until a view is taken
of her handsome drives and avenues that
are now being graded and put in condition
to receive their coating of brick and shells.
The work is being done by F. F. blanche,
under contract awarded him by the Town
Council as the lowest bidder The avenues
are graded with an elevation of about one
foot at the center and width of sixty feet
between curbings, and as one looks down
the broad aisle of smooth earth, Imagination
pictures the magnifcence of the completed
and paved avenue.
No better provision could have been made
for the future growth Of New Covington
than the laying out of these broad avenues,

AGRICULTURE in OUR SCHOOLS.

Abita Springs, La, March 20, 1909.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
| Dear Sir-You will be interested to know that we
have formed Boys Corn Club We have received
a quantity of corn from the Baton Rouge Experiment
Station and we have planted it. The members Of the
Corn Club follows Croydon Cook, Luther
Cook, Virden Demaree, Eery Demaree George Nc
Nulty, Willie Kraft Victor Summers, Nicola Ma
range, Walter Thompson, Russell Calongne, Louis
Grelle Joseph Burk, Victor Lamousin Walter Allen,
Frank Bowers, John Cross and Ralph Abney
Yours Respectfully.
THOS. S. MILLAR, President
The above letter brings to mind the fact
that agricultural pursuits have reached the
dignity of worthy consideration in our pub
lie schools. There has been tendency of
late in the best schools throughout the United
States to devote some portion of the school
term to the study Of the farm-up-to-date
cultural methods, adaptabiIty of climate and
soil to certain crops, the means of increasing
production, quality and profit, and especially
the maintenance of soil fertility The United
States Government is collecting data to be
used in solving the problem of better social
condition among farmers, the encourage
ment OF interest in literature and taste
for books, the adoption in the home of recre-
alive pleasures and modern improvements
for comfort In fact, not only to increase
the earning capacity of the farmer but to
relieve the monotony of farm life and induct
into it some of the comforts and pleasures
Of the city, reduce the tendency of the Young
men to leave the farm and engage in city
occupations, tendency that is drawing from
agricultural pursuits some of the best young
men of the rural districts.
The Corn Club that has been organized bv
Master Thomas F. Miller, of Abita, has the
sanction of the Abita Springs public school,
and indicates the interest that is being taken
IN advanced educational methods under the
progressive management of Prof. R. A.
Smith and the Board of Directors, The
planting of this corn will urge each partici-
pant IN the contest to acquire all the knowl-
edge available to raise the largest possible
ear OF corn, which is the object to be gained.
and this competitive struggle will no doubt
eliminate in the acquisition of much useful
knowledge by the youthful planters that will
De thoroughly impressed upon them, besides
stimulating executive ability and confidence
IN their power of performance.

APPEAL FOR TEMPERANCE
Governor HanIy's Final Message to
Indiana Legislature.

Indianapolis, Jan. 81 am aware
there are some who have already cele-
brated the county option laws repeal,
but beg to remind all those who con-
template it's repeal that it is the Invest
wire In the political machinery of this
commonwealth and is charged with
enough electricity to electrocute the
party that repeats it.
In these words Governor J. Frank
Hanly, in his final message to the
legislature Of Indiana, closes his ap.
peal in behalf of temperance after
seeking to demonstrate by figures that
majority of the crime pauperism,
epilepsy and poverty are due to alco-
hol. The message, in part, says:
0 alcohol must be held responsible
for about four-ffths of the anti-sociai
propensities that make necessary the
huge paraphernalia of police systems,
criminal courts, jails, prisons and re.
formatories that constitute so serious
q blot upon present day civilization.
