WHY NEW ORLEANS

its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark It as
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi-
cation of Great Work.
Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
in 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap
mreoaching session.
New Orleans and
are contesting for
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance s0 great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term
“World's Fair,” such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed.
ucational movement. Its success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula
tion who can its
advantages, t turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost in raliroad and Pullman
fares, are the m important factors
Considering these matters, New
Orleans’ claims being the “Logi
cal Point” for this Panama Exposi
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following

Going in for a catalpa grove next
gpring? These trees will grow into
telephone poles and fence posts in
about fifteen years, An acre of ground
will produce from 3,000 to 4,000 fence
posts and such posts are now worth
about 18 cents each. In fifteen years
they will probably bring twice as
much, as timber is becoming more
scarce every year. One year old trees
are the best to plant. Be sure they
are all healthy and come not too far

After they get a good start cut them
back nearly to the ground. Don't be
afraid to cut, as they will be all the
