whom have not yet been seen in this
parish, will pay the entire cost OF
this drainage. They will be glad to
pay the present land owner a big
price-much more than the cost Of
draining and the clearing the land
for his well-drained and cleared
land, and besides they will assume
and pay the entire indebtedness in
Cured for the construction and COM
pletion Of the drainage system. This
may SOUND startling, but it is not
difficult to understand. The Loutsi-
ana statute permits the first pay
ment Of drainage bonds ISSUED to
pay for the drainage) to be deferr-
ed five years from the date Of their
issuance, and the remainder to be
paid serially within forty years.
Five years should be ample time
from the commencement Of the con-.
struction Of the project to complete
it, clear the land, put it in cultiva-
ton, and sell it, at a trihing cost
to the owner, and at very great
profit on his present investment and
the actual cost to him of the i'm
within five years can be established
on the land, proftably farming it,
and he can easily pay the drainage
bonds as they mature out OF the pro-
ducts from the soil.
How soon will the cut-over lands
OF st. Tammany parish be drained?
NOW is the time to begin.
Before project can be begun con-
struction costs will be at low figure
which cannot be duplicated again in
the lifetime of the present taxpayers.
However, the gains are too great to
occasion bubbles about the cost. It
is to the land owners interest TO
know this, and when he does it be
will be oVer-eager to boost project
and vote the bonds.

AOUEILLE-CEFALU.

"A beautiful NEEDING of the past
week was that Of Mr.. J. M. Aoueille
and Miss Dorothy Cefalu, both Of
Covington, which was solemnized
Tuesday afternoon at $3.50 at ST..
Peters Catholic Church, Rev. Father
John Burger officiating.
The church was artistically deco
rated with ferns and flowers. To the
strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding
March the bride entered the church
with her brother, Mr.. John Cefalu, Of
New Orleans, giving her into the
keeping Of the groom, who met her
at the foot Of the alter with his best
man, Mr.. Bernard Fontan. The bride
wore a travelling suit Of Alice blue
with hat to match and a beautiful
cprsage bouquet or orchids and lilies
OF the valley. Her only attendant
was Miss Angelo Aoueille, sister, Of
the groom, who wore suit of blue
cloth and carried a magnif1cen thou
quet of bridesmaid roses and ferns.
During the registry the Ave Marie
was beautifully rendered by the
choir.
The wedding took place from the
home of the brides sister, Mrs. Lewis
L. Morgan, where Mrs. Aouei1le has
made her home during the time she
lived here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aoueille left on the
afternoon train for New Orleans for
a short wedding trip, and on their
return will make their home with the
groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ
Aoueille. They received a number of
beautiful and costly presents.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Aoueille are
popular members Of the younger set,
Mr. Aoueille being a prosperous
young business man, and his bride
the youngest daughter of the late M
and Mrs. John B. Cefalu, Of New Or
leans, who made their home here for
number of years.
Among the out-of-town guests

water, because the subsoil cannot be
pulverized in water. The water
level must first be lowered by drain
age" Prof. l. P. Roberts, a great
farmer and a great scientist, gives
this added testimony in his "Fertili-
ty of the Land: 'Underdrains and
deep and thorough blowing not only
diminish the tendency of clay soils
to run together, but also increase
the storage capacity Of the soil, and,
since the moisture in the soil is all
ing the growing season, the more
that can be stored up without doing
injury the better"
First Cost Trifing, Profits Enormous.
j Drainage must precede all other
improvements to convert these cut
over lands into farms, because it
alone will make these lands valuable
for farming. And when these lands
are available for farming, that is,
this parish, that moment the pine
stump will be valuable to
the parish and to its pine products
manufactures and to the land own
er, for the latter can then afford to
pull the stumps and sell them. If
the owner should sell his stumps at
less than cost to pull them, still he
will have considerable profit, for
his lands will have received double
increase in value-from the clearing
and from drainage. Looking at It
form another point Of view, drain
age pays for itself and great deal
more and whatever the stump will
sell for will be clear profit in addi-
ton to other profits:
But an incredulous man will still
insist that somebody has to pay for
drainage. 1t will be the farmer who

st. Tammany is the kind specially
adapta BILE to truck and orchard farm
ing, the most profitable of all and
for which proximity to local and &C
cess to national markets is indis-
pensible.
The availability of this land for
truck an dorchard farming is the
most important part. And I think
1t can be easily shown that this sec
ton of country is naturally superior
in this respect to the most favored
portions of Florida and Texas where
some lands are selling at from $500
to $1,000 or more per acre. AS
compared with the lands of Florida
it requires much less expense to
establish and a;ntain the fertility
OF our soil, and as compared with
either Florida or Texas our market
ing connections either established or
capable of being established are
much more advantageous, because
we have an under-supplied and grow
ing local market in addition to the
best Northern markets. A market

produce truck and fruit in sufficient
quantity and quality and the mark
et;ng facilities are near at hand to
this parish.
Drainage Must Come First.
But production here requires a
prelim nary preparation and adapta-
ton Of the soil to farming. It is
obvious to everyone that the stumps
are in the way, that the land is de-
ficient in natural fertility, and that
Tor considerable periods of every
year the soil is too wet for cult;va-
ton. But it is not SO apparent that
the stumps are in the way and the
soil is poor just because there is no
adequate drainage for most of the
Land.
Everyone knows that the stumps
have sufficient value in themselves
to pay all or a very large part of the
cost of pulling them; but there is
no great inducement to get them off
the land as long as the land has little
or no value for farm ng purposes.
It is drainage which will furnish the
incentive to clear up the land, for
it is only through proper drainage
that the land can be gotten into
good state of hllage and fertility.

WILL YOU GET RIGHT

How you getting along in a money way7 Is your income when you have job, better than the average? Before answer that, you want to know what is the average?
 Nobody knows what the average Americans in- come is now. No way of finding out.
 But in 1919. according to B. M Anderson. Jr., economist of the Chase National Bank of New York, the total income of the American people $6S o00 00000o, nearly three times enough to wipe the national debt.
 That seems whale of a lot of money. But it's only $645 for every person in the country That is in 1919 bachelor who made s645 getting along the average. A man and wife, to be up the average, had to have income of $1290 If there children. $645 must be added for each child Otherwise the family's income Jagged behind the national average.
 Think back into 1s1e How did you stack up with the average?
 How difficult is it to get rich? You often der Sometimes it to impossible.
 If you want to figure out your chances of becom- ing wealthy, it's easy matter. The income tells the story.
 The latest and most complete income tax figures are for Illinois These figures show that only 13 in that they made more than 5000 year. Of course, there lot of dodgers
 The average family is supposed to have five members. That indicates that 13 out of every 40 heads families make 5000 year.
 Observe how the list is weeded out when 1t comes to large incomes shown in the following table giving number of those enjoing the larger n- comes in Illinois:
