WHY cows STOOD IN WATER
Artistic Limitations Responsible for

In north Of England town there
was d shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright. although he was
always depending on charity, says Al
Priddy IN his book, Through the
Mil" relates the Youths Companion.
He painted landscapes. and my aunt,
when benevolently inclined. would
hire him to decorate our walls with
rural scenes. highly colored in glaring
tints. az if nature had turned color
blind. There were COWS in every
scene. and Aunt Mile noticed that all
the cows were up to their knees in
water. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.
"Jorvev" she remarked to the old
man. "why do you always put the COWS
in the water?"
ITS this way, Mrs Brindin," the old
artist responded. "You see, mann, I
never learned to paint hoofs.'

Then, apropos of music and igno-

"A certain governor" he said, was
being lunched at a seaside town. Dur
Ing the repast the local band played
on the beach outside the hotel. The
drum was In charge of blacksmith,
and he beat it so resonantly that at
last this message was sent out:

The bandmaster was puzzled by
this message for moment; then his
face frightened in a smile, and he
said:

Baton Rouge.-A project TO bui]d

southwest Louisiana with water from

the Red and Sabine rivers-a project
to cost $4,000, 000-was laid before

Mr.. Bradford came before the COM

but merely OF the franchise of the
company and the investment, such as
machinery, equipment, etc. He agreed
that the company should pay the
state for the water it secured from
Louisiana streams.
The proposed canal would be 275 TO
300 feet in width and twenty-five feet
IN depth, 1t would leave the Red
river opposite Natchtoches and swing
inland to the border OF the highlands,
and then parallel the Red river down
to point near Alexandria. 1t would
then swing south, still hugging the
edge of the high prairie into st. Ian.

drop south into Bayou Teche and the
main canal would swing west across

branch would cut south into the val.
ley of the Mermenteau, and the main
stem would continue on west to a
point north of Lake Charles, and then
turn south, emptying into the inter
coastal canal
Mr.. Bradford exhibited to the com
mission map of the surveys of the
proposed route, showing that the plans
are entirely complete.
I'VE will have gravity flow all the
way" Mr. Bradford said.
"a million acres of land of doubtful
value would be made fertile and pro-

enable us to generate hydro-electriC

10000 horse power at points. This
permits establishment of rice mills

cheapest in the world. The trolley
line and the steel barge line on the
canal would open up a new field Of
