! What could be more suggestive

The name which WAS given 1t in
memory Of tho beautiful Indian maid

alluring and enchant ng spots in
Louisiana, situated in the heart OF
the "Ozone Belt" bordered by the
clear, sparkling water of the Abita
River, where Mature speaks most
eloquently of Cod" Here, too, is a
bubbltng spring, which fame is world
wide, having been handed down
from the Choctaw Indians. Abita,
in fact, is rated in the government
reports as the health!est spot in the
United States. This, indeed, with its
many other virtues should make 1t
the most widely sought resort in the
South. Commercially it is favorably

not seek this beautiful climate.

not seek this beautiful climate.
The possibilities Of the soil are
great. for since the decline Of the
lumber industry, attention has been
directed to the tillage of the SOL.
Such industries as truck farming, in
all its phases, both for home con-
sumption, shipping and canning;
figs, grapes, cattle and sheep raising.
The social and educational inter-
ests go hand in hand. Now why
should Abita not rank foremost, both
soc ally and educationally. when she
has such intelligent and intellectual
men and women at the head of her
Affairs: who exert their most untir-
Ing efforts for the betterment of the
future. Still greater than this. the
eyes Of the future will turn to Ab.ta
when the present generation succeeds
their worthy sires. Then, and then
only. will people realize that the
work Of the past has not been n
vain. To whom shall they turn?
To the teachers who have watched
and guided their eager young minds
through trying and difficult problems,
aided ever by the hearty co-opera-
ton OF the parents, and the earnest
efforts Of the children themselves.
Abita can boast of one of the best
and well equipped buildings IN the
parish.
One can readily see that the worthy

Good Roads are Collliinq.

Not a single member of the pol CO
jury voted against the proposition to
cal! an election to vote a tax for
building good roads throughout 1t.
Tammany parish at its meeting .ast
Is that this action is not the result
of hurried review of the advantage
es to be gained thereby, but is back
ed by discussion of the question
pro and con for the past two months.
Those who at first were undetermin-
ell as to the adv stability of the pro-
jec: became convinced that it was
the best thing to do, and the result
IS that when the election fs called II
will have been done after mature
consideration an Investigation.
The proposition is backed by the
best cit zens In st. Tammany parish
from all quarters of the parish.
There is no doubt about the election
carrying.
Among the most ardent workers
for good roads are Mr.. E. ]. Do
mergue, Jr., and Mr.. r. A. Salmen,
of 81 ldell. The st. Tammany Farm
er has been advocating good roads
for q long time, with view to hav-
ing a tax voted for that purpose
and bonded, so that the roads could
be built by contract all over the
parish. Mr.. E. ]. .Domergue Jr., has
spent considerable time gathering
valuable information and putting 1t
in shape for convenient use. Many
Of those who have been advocates Of
voting the tax attended the meeting
of the police jury last Monday and
urged the importance Of calling an
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1914-03-21

election for that purpose. Among
them were +. A. Salmen, Theodore
Dend.nger, Theodore Dendinger, Jr.,
Warren Thomas, Walter Parker, G.
NJ. Liddle, w. p. Cause, O. r. Bar
Finger. Before appearing before the
board, Mr.. Harvey E. Ellis was chos-
en- spokesman, and during his talk
to the members he proposed resolu-
tions which were adopted without q
dissenting voice. -
The follow ng members were ap-
pointed on the committee, with Her
man Schultz, president Of the police
jury, chairman, and E. D. eKentzel,
secretary of the police jury, secre-
tary. There will be q meeting Of
this committee at the courthouse
Monday next.
Mr.. Ell 8 stated that he was not
positive as to the power of the police
jury to call an election without Pc
tt:on from the people, but that he
would look into the question and re-
port his decision. Mr.. Ellis made
quite an impressive talk in h appeal
for good roads and a tax for this
purpose. It is proposed that the
police jury maintain ts present tax
Of two mills for the upkeep Of the
roads and for bridge building, and
that a special tax Of two and one
half mills be voted for the bu lding
of good roads throughout the parish
by contract, this tax to run for twen-
ty-five or thirty years and be bonded,
SO as to make the funds available
for general road building throughout
tho parish, instead of by piecemeal.

ALCOHOLIC DRINKS
MAKE LIFE SHORT
Insurance Heads Hear Re-

Firms.
TBY LEASED W!RE.1

NEW YORK, Dec 1O.-That the use
of alcoholic beverages shortens life
in this country was reported as sta
tistical fact to the eighth annual con-
vention of the association of life in
surance presidents here this morning.
Figures on the subject were presented
by Arthur Hunter, actuary in connec-
ton with the findings of mortality
investigation of forty-three companies
into the life of two million life insur-
ance policy holders, covering period
of twenty-five years.
Among the men who admitted that
they had taken alcohol occasionally
to excess in the past" said MI Hunt
er, but whose habits were considered
satisfactory when they were insured.
there were 2S9 deaths, while there
would have been only 100 had this
group been free of insured lives in
general. The extra mortality was.
therefore over SO per cent, which was
equivalent to reduction in the aver
age life Of these men of over four
years"

MELP0LOER TAKES
SHOT At CHARITY

That one out of twenty-five people
in Richmond are now receiving char
liable assistance was the statement
made by the secretary of the Central
Charitabl bureau in an address before
Earlham students at chapel exercises
this morning.
He said that more people are being
assisted by charity in Richmond now
than any other city in the state. Rich
mond's only rival for this questionable
distinction, he said, was city where
one out of every forty-seven people
were being aided He did not mention
the name of the city.
Richmond has a population of $4,000
so, according to Mr.. Melpolder's state
ment, 1000 of it's inhabitants are now
receiving charitable aid.
Mr. Melpolder emphasized the i'm
portance of social work and he said
the charitable relief system now es-
tablished in Richmond was the only
practical method for conducting such
work He said it was an educative
movement which would make chronic
dependents self-supporting.
