Where the Engineer Comes In.

Where the Engineer Comes In.
 In the engineering problem of drain age, according to the report, there are
 usually three principles involved First, provision for the disposal of the
 water from the surrounding water shed or more elevated land; second,
 taking care of the surplus precipita- tion upon the drained land, or run off as it is technically called; third, protection against backwater or over flow from neighboring rivers in times of flood, to which may be added a pumping station to dispose of the run off when the waters of the neighbor
 ing river are so high that they will not take the run off from the district.
 The drainage districts in southeast Missouri and southern Louisiana em- body all of these principles, the com mittee reports, and may be taken as typical of the difficulties and accom- plishments of the drainage problem.
 The Little river district, !n south east Missouri is the most important drainage project now in operation in this country. It embraces 560, ,000 acres of swamp lands, has an area of 1,136 square miles, is 90 miles long, from four to thirty miles wide, and covers a large part of seven counties in southeast Missouri. The cost of construction will be about $5,000,000 and the work is now nearing compile -.0n. When completed there will be more than seven hundred miles of ditches and levees in this district
 Treating Wet Lands of Louisiana.
 In Louisiana, the committee con tinues, tine matter Of drainage is usual i ly simplified by the absence of high | surrounding water sheds. since the al l luvial plains have regular contour. | The lack of much slope to the sea, so | that the drainage may not be one of | gravity, is made up by the numerous i bays, bayous, and rivers which offer | easily accessible outlets for the run | off
 The district to be drained has al | ways to be protected entirely by en- circling levees, for the many streams | in Louisiana have a fashion of wan dGring all over the surface Of the sur rounding country. In addition to a 1 comprehensive system of canals and | lateral ditches there is always pump ing plant to take care of the run off | which is led into a reservoir and then fall canal Even in comparatively flat land, the drainage ditches soon dis pose of the surplus water. By natural seepage and capillary attraction the water in wet land presses steadily to- wards the ditch, and the level of the ground water is lowered accordingly 1
 How Three Insects Have Retarded
 Country Growth.
 The National Chamber committee stated some time ago, "It is curious and significant fact that the life his tory of the south, social and economic, is bound up in the story and conquest of three insignificant and malignant insects, the Texas cattle or fever tick, the cotton boil weevil, and the malaria bearing mosquito" The committee treated of the cattle tick and the cot ton boil weevil in previous reports; the present linking up of the mosquito with the 75,O00,O00 acres of swamp land, which it is said may be reclaimed for agricultural purposes is the con clusOn of the series.

Keep 1our Name Before 7be PubHC.
By 5REEN.

Don't suffer from ego. You may think that everybody in town knows where you are located and what you have to offer. Don't make this grievous mistake.
 The public IS tickle. The public is forgetfuI. It needs to be continually reminded where you are and what you are doing. If you don't let it know through the columns of a newspaper 1t soon will transfer its trade.
 Don't think your busi- ness so we'll estab- lished" it doesn't need advertising. New York's biggest bank seeks ad- vertising. It probably is as well established" as most enterprises.

By RREEN.

If business IS a bit poor don't cry that the country Is going to the bowwows. Things will come out all right. When business life is at a low ebb newspaper advertising will help sus- tain it. When the 6nan- cial and business de- pression was at its height a Pacific coast merchant spent $I00,000 in a newspaper ad. campaign. The results more than IuStllled ms optimism.
 The Wall street maxim Is. Buy when everybody is selling; sell when everybody IS buy ing. If one wants to buy or sell anything he consults the newspapers.
The Cordova daily times., 1916-11-17
AdUertUing Surely PayS.
By BREEN.

The biggest business enterprises in this coun- try were built upon ad- vertising. None will deny that. Newspaper advertising is the most potent of all. The money that Is spent annually in the newspapers of the United State: IS eno,- nous.
 Enormous as it IS, the return IS tenfold. And yet one occasionally will find some self sufficient business man who will declare he doesn't need advertising.
 Every man in every business needs advertis- ing. Some need 1t more than others. It is non- sense to say that a cer- tain article sells itself.

He was gone.
Fear,


David went back to his dress-stuffs
by day and his law books by night
with a heavy heart. The days dragged
by as slowly as they pass the beds of
the sick, feverlshly hot, inexplicably
hostile; till at last he welcomed the
necessity of a journey to replenish
his stock of goods. Colonel Posey
had once more postponed his return
to Corydon and had asked David to
buy whatever was needed to carry
on the business. His supplies were
to be ferried across the river from
Louisville to GAINESVILLE; and setting
off at dawn n morning, he strobe all
day long through the silent woods.
The SUI was going down when he left
the road, painted to the top of the
Silver hills and flung himself down on
the ground. Away to the south
stretched the broad and majestic cur
rent of the Ohio till it passed out of
sight among the blue hills of Ken
lucky; below him, in the frightening
shadows Of the evening, rose the slen-
der columns of smoke from the cabin
chimneys of GAINESVILLE, a cluster of
a dozen or so log farmhouses. Be-
yond, across the rushing waters Of

toward the shack to see that they
were in readiness for the homeward
journey in the morning, he heard his
name called by a girls voice.
He wheeled and saw Lydia Gran
mer. The girl broke into a laugh at
the expression of utter surprise.
"You here, Lydia?" he cried in
amazement. "Did you come here from
Corydon? Where's your father?"
"Why, yes, we've been here for
weeks. Fathers gone to see some
friends at Fort Steuben tonight, but
he'll be back soon."
So this was where Cranmer had
gone, after that night in the smithy
at Corydon. David saw in a flash
that upon himself alone must depend
Cranmer's capture. Hiding his ex-
element, he pretended to listen to
Lydia with eager pleasure.
She ran on in naive delight at see
ing David once more. They were liv-
ing in the cabin nearest the inn, she
said; and she begged David to come
and talk with her till her father re-
turned. 1t was late when they heard
Cranmer's voice lifted in a roaring
ballad and distinguished his portly
form moving uncertainty down the
path that led to the cabin.
David felt himself grow hot with
repugnance as the man drew nearer.
He had not seen him since that night
when he had watched the three con
spirators in the smithy.
Cranmer's heavy steps drew near
err; he started in surprise when he
came on the two figures in the dark
ness and there was q note of relief
in his laughter when he heard David
speak.
why, it's young Laurence! Sweet
hearting out here in the dark, you
rogues? Well, when your mother
was your age, Lydia! .

USES HER soul
STORY IN SUIT
Elderly Husband Of Young Bride
Sues For AnnuIment of
Marriage.
BLISS FOR SIX WEEKS
Wealthy Herman 7. Asehe Declares
Wife's Novelette, Proves She
Married Him Only for His
Money-"Man of Mystery"

New York,-A novelette, confess
sion" entitled Justice" alleged to
have been written by nineteen-year-
old Mrs. Asia Asche, an esthetic
dancer, is the basis of a suit for annul-
ment of marriage which has just been
filed here by her husband, Herman 7.
Asche, a wealthy importer, forty years
old. The couples marriage bliss last
ed just six weeks-the reward of nine
years patient waiting on Asche's part,
for he fell in love with Asia when she
was a child Of nine years.
Now Asche charges that Asta's heart
loyal love for a young artist. 1t was
to the latter-so far the IMAM of mys-
terry" in the strange case-that the
novelette, confession Of the beautiful
young bride was penned. In it she
reveals, according to her husbands
affidavit, that her marriage to him was
merely a plot to get his money and
that she had been his wife only in
name, so that she might return to the
young artist as she had left him.
Marital Joys Soon Ended.
On the day of the proposed we'd
ding the husband-to-be went to the
home of Asta's grandmother in Brook
Ign. The dancer had promised to be
there, but Asche says he found she had
away. He learned from the grand
mother that Asia twas too nervous"
and not being able to stand the strain
of the wedding ceremony, had gone
to New Haven. The elderly lover mo-
tored to New Haven, found Asia, but
was told she wanted a week to find
her mind" When she found her mind
she decided to become Mrs. Asche.
The pair honeymooned in the South
for a couple of weeks and then re-
turned to the magnificent apartment
on Riverside drive which Asche had
provided for his bride. An affidavit

HOW PEN MAY HELP FORGER
H~abitually Used, It Is Said to Become
Imbued With the Spirit Of
Signature.

"Did 1t ever occur to you" said a
treasury official, "that a forger has
half his work done when he can get
hold Of the identical pen with which
the wner Of the signature habitually
writes? A great many men, company
directors and the like, use the same
pen for their names only, for a year or
two without change.
"a pen that has been used by a
mar In writing his name hundreds of
times, and never used for anything
else, will almost write the name of
itself. 1t gets imbued with the spirit
of the signature. In the hands of a
fairly good forger 1t will preserve the
characteristics Of the original. The
reason for this Is that the point Of the
pen has been ground down In a pc
culiar way, from being used always by
the same hand and for the same combi-
nation Of letters. 1t would splutter
IL held ut a wrong angle or forced on
lines against its will. 1t almost guides
the sensitive hand Of the forger when
he attempts to write the name"

Wheeler Had the Last Word.

It was an intensely cold morning
and the city train was packed. A
crusty old gentleman with his back to
the engine preferred the window
down for ventilation" whilst a wheezy
individual facing the window persisted
in pulling it UP again, as he hated
these beastly east Winds"
Although it was cold, words became
very hot.
81 can't stand this stuffy herring
box!" chortled the crusty man, tug
ging the strap and letting the window
drop for the fourth time.
"Nor | these Siberian blasts that only
convicts could stand" rejoined the
wheezer. Don't you know it's an old
adage that when the wind is in the
east it's neither fit for me nor your"
"Ha, ha !" laughed the crusty man,
appealing to the passengers to laugh
also. Here's a man that does not know
the old proverb. Why, sir, the last
words are man nor beast.'"
"Well, there's no difference in what
| said," chuckled the wheezer, as the
passengers roared in chorus.

Loves Paradise Was short-Lived.


by Mrs. Asche's lady's maid described
how happy the newlyweds were.
But loves paradise was short-lived.
One day Asia left her husband a little
farewell" note and departed for New
Haven.
The novelette, Justice" was written
after Mrs. Asche returned to New
York and went to live in an apartment
in Brooklyn. In the story, Asia, call
ing herself "Olivia Standish," de-
scribes her own appearance and char
acter so perfectly that Asche declares
he recognized her at once. AS they
had lived together in real life only six
weeks, SO had "Olivia Standish" lived
with her rich husband, Herman
Kruger" only six weeks.
Heroine "Played for High Stakes"
The heroine Is described as a girl
not only beautiful, but more than
that" Although fully aware of the
power Of her beauty wei all men, she
retained an unsullied body because she
realized that with that as an asset she
could play for higher stakes" II get
what l want-money," she says. "He
(the elderly husband) gets in return
youth and woman. 1t seems quite fair
to me-" But she couldn't stand the
bargain over six weeks.
Both of the principals are well-con-
nected. Mrs. Asche's father, Andrew
Conner, is a noted sculptor. The Asche
family is m Of the most prominent In
Scandinavia. Asche's father was for
merly postmaster general of Norway
and his brother is at present chief
Justice of Norway.
