this method Of addressing you.
I have lived in Shreveport for many

TO the public good, and it is with pride
that point to some of the things that l
have accomplished in nyhumble way for
the city Of Shreveport.
Believing that a pure water supply was
Of prime necessity for the city; believing
that ifsshould osSn and control this water
supply, I went to work and had surveys
made of Cross Lake and its suitability
for a water supply determined Having
found that it was the key to the water
supply of the city, then directed my
efforts toward acquiring it, and just re
Gently there was passed by the Legisla-
ture of the State an act permitting the
city to acquire it at small cost.
| was the ambition of my life to be
able to see the city own and control this
magnificent basin, filled with pure and
wholesome water, with parks or play
grounds adjacent, and with a fishing re
serve, and now just as my last term as
councilman is about to expire, find my
dream of years almost realized.
For the purpose of finishing this work
for the purpose of fully accomplishing
this good to the city, determined to be-
come candidate again and chose that
position which would enable me to fin
ish the work I had begun, and it is for
that reason | am candidate again,
/ believe that I can do this work and
give to the city one of the finest reser-
voirs for water supply enjoyed by any
city in the South When shall have
done so, l shall then retire to private
fife, feeling that have done something
however small, to repay the people fol
the confidence reposed in me.
Pledging them the best efforts O
which am capable, assuring them thai
I shall labor for their good and the up
building of our city if elected again,
solicit their support and votes in tht
looming primary. Respectfully submitted

IUsTIFIABLE HOMICIDE

In telegram from Mansfield, La, Of
recent date it is stated that the case
against Sam Peck, 16 years old, who re-
Gently killed Manuel Wainwright while
the latter was trying to elope with Peck
sister was ignored by the grand jury.
This case has created much interest, as
Wainwright was a married man, and
public sentiment was strongly in favor
of the youth This ends the matter SO
far as the law is concerned"

Importance in maturing corn and cotton.
Each of these staples must have hot
weather and where moisture IS deficient
the crop will deteriorate.
AS the rains will fall principally along
the Mississippi river it will cause COM
paratively cool weather in the northwest
but not too cool for spring wheat. In
Texas and the Carolinas the cotton will
do well, while in most parts of the corn
belt crop weather will not be good; too
dry for late corn. But the hot weather

This disturbance will bring the best

and those sections that may be FORUM
ate enough to get moisture at that time
will be much benefited where they have
growing corn or cotton or pasture grass
alfalfa or late millet, because the tenn

the places that get none of these rains
The forces of the storm will carry away

BATTLEsHIP or CONCRETE
Huge Fort, Reared on innac of
Rock Equipped for bus
iness.

Recently there nave been references in
the news dispatches to a curious fortifi-
cation which Uncle Sam is erecting on a
small island named El Fraile, as a part of
the line Of defense OF Manila bay. II was
styled a concrete battleship, which was to
be fixed upon the island. What would a
concrete battleship look like, and why
should one be erected as a part Of a per-
manent and immovable fertilization, were
natural questions.
FL Fraile Is a Spanish term which has
more than one meaning Translated it
means either the friar'' or a kind of sea
fish. Whether the origin of the name is
due to It's resemblance in appearance TO
some physical characteristic Of a friar or
10 the kind of sea fish indicated by the
word is not revealed, but the Island itself
formed an interesting problem when the
question Of terrifying it arose. 1t is merely
a pinnacle Of rock rising a few feet above
the surface Of the water.
II was az first a question how the island
could be made to serve its purpose. Ac-
cOrding to a story as to the way the idea
developed of creating on top Of the rock a
structure OF concrete somewhat resembling
a battleship IN shape and style Of arma-
ment, 1t was first planned TO enlarge the
island In order to obtain the essential space
for the big guns. This would rave cost a
good round sum-. said 10 be more than S.
OOO,OO0 and would a provided only a
modest fort after all. Then It was sug-
gested TO shave off the top. A young man
connected with the engineering corps
brought forward the stationary battle
ship" plan.

construction, In an ellipse about 800 feet

Alas. this means the fat woman must
serve instead of rule. for beauty in woman
Is A composite OF both line and feature.
Thousands of fat women are beautiful
OF face. But they lag behind In the race
for preference-because a too ponderOus
outline dashes the favor their face has
gained them.
Nov, pretty fat women can reduce tina
fat mot the good pure-lined fleshl in a

at bedtime for q month. The fat will
simply fade. No wrinkles or pouches OF

crete being forty feet in height. Within.
the Enclosure will be two steel turrets OF
the kind found in battleships. Each will
house two of the big new fou%rteen-inch
guns The use of the turrets economies
space. Besides these great guns there will
be four siX-lnch guns. The entrance 10
the fertilization, or concrete battleship,
will be by means of a sallyport. 1t Is be
lieved that the unique fertilization will be
impregnable.
The armament itself will be interesting,
as the fourteen-inch gun for the navy is a
new arm. 1t is believed that this weapon
will Withstand the wear and tear of use
much better than the twelve-inch gun,
whose life has been estimated to be not
more than eighty shots. 1t is believed that
for a permanent fertilization, a large gun,
80 built as to last much longer than this,
is a necessity. A battleship can go to a
navy yard for renewals of its armament,
while a fertilization has no such recourse
for refitting. 1t is estimated that the life
of the fo%urteen-inch gun, such as is now
being constructed, will be from 275 to 800
shots.
The gun will be fifty-three and one-half
feet long. Nine men, five feet eleven and
one-third inches long could lie on its bar
rel, II is almost exactly three feet longer
than the present twelve-inch gun, which is
fifty feet seven Ninches long.
A fort of concrete formation resting on
piles and stone has been suggested for the
entrance to Chesapeake bay. The two
capes forming the mouth of the bay are Sc
far apart that Notifications upon them
would not fulfil the purpose of commanding
the entrance. BY placing a foDt near the
channel in the entrance this difficulty car
be obviated. The fort which 1t is planned
to put here has been denominated "Tafrs
big fort at Newport News" because 1t has
been strongly advocated by President Taft
Only tentative plans for it rave been dis
cussed. II built it may be of concrete like
the one on El F'raile.-New York Tribune.
