AIL PLANS FOR HUGE
DRAINAGE PROJECT MADE
"The Shepherd of the Hills," Har
old Bell Wright's novel dramatized,
will be the attraction at the new
Grand Theater, tonight, and the first
dramatic offering yet staged there.
In making a play of his famous
novel, Mr. Wright, with the assistance
jf Elsberry W. Reynolds, has retain
ed all the dramatic moments of the
story and enlarged upon the charac
ter of "Preachin' Bill," making a
character of him that will be long
remembered by theater-goers. Nat
urally the love between "Sammy
Lane" and "Young Matt" is the pivot
upon which the play revolves. Messrs.
Gaskill and MacVitty, the producers.
have "mounted" the play in a sump
tuous manner and given it a cast that
is unique in the matter of types.
The seat sale for "The Shepherd of
the Hills" has been large.
No use to squirm and wince and
try to wear out your rheumatism. It
will wear you out instead. Apply
some Sloan's Liniment Need not rub
it in just let it penetrate all
through the affected , parts, relieve
the soreness and draw the pain. You
get the ease at once and feel so much
better you" want to go right out and
tell other sufferers about Sloan's. Get
a "bottle of Sloan's Liniment lor 25
cents of any druggist and have it in
the house against Colds, Sore and
Swollen Joints, Lumbago, Sciatica
and like ailments. Your money back
if not satisfied, but it does give al
most instant relief. Buy a bottle to

0,000 Acrei of Rich Alluvial Lands

ton on February 13 five huge pumps.
the largest in the world, will begin
the colossal task of draining 40,000
acres of land partly In New Orleans
and which will reclaim and make
ready for habitation and farming
delta alluvial soil as rich as the val
ley of the Nile, This gigantic work
of conservation, backed by the State
of Louisiana itself, is part of the vast
scheme of systematic reclamation of
alluvial lands which, put tinder way a
few years ago, will eventually bring
into us 10,000,000 acres of land now
idle and waiting for its ages of ac
cumulated richness to be put into
service for the benefit of mankind.
Holland drained 40,000 acres of her
soil after seventy-five years and with
an expenditure of $3,200,000. This
so-called "drainage district? of Lou
isiana, with an equal number of acres,
will be drained in three days after the
pumps are started and after a year
of construction. The cost will be
$234,000. Land which heretofore has
been normally valued will be worth
$3,000 an acre1 and, as a matter of
comfort in human living and health,
the mosquito will perish as the waters
fall. .
This Titanic job, as that at Pana
ma, is the work of one man. Aptly
his name is Hero. Some years ago
George A. Hero, a wealthy citizen of
New Orleans, conceived the vision and
placed his name and reputation
against the task. . Laughed at as a
dreamer, derided by Skeptics as, ' a
rainbow-chaser, he persisted in spite
of all drawbacks, discouragement and
defeats, until today, his task com
pleted, his State- has asked no less a
person than the President of the
United States to flash the electric
spark which will set in motion a new
economic destiny for Louisiana. Fin
ancially, the task was a simple one,
and from an engineering standpoint
the obstacles were few. The land
owners of Orleans, ; Jefferson and
Plaquemine Parishes, embraced in
the drainage district, voluntarily sub
mitted to a drainage tax of 75 cents
per acre per year for forty years.
State bonds were issued,1 with intel
ligent laws so framed as to make the
land stand securely behind the bonds,
the issue was floated and the work
commenced early in 1914. In less than
one year by the simple process of
drawing off the water, the $8,000,000
valuation of the district will have

poor, then my food would not digest,
I bloated and was very weak and ner

any relief. I was so bad I could not
work for months at a time. I tried ,
too many remedies to name, but with- j

tried it, and soon noticed an improve

my stomach trouble is completely
cured. I am a well man, enjoying
perfect health and have gained ' in
