FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
THE NEXT DISTURBANCE
Will Cross the Continent April Fl to "a,
and Will Bring Low Temperatures
Than UsuaI-Rains Will Increase i'll
Sections and Drouth in Others.

copyrighted 1911 by w. 7. Foster,)
Washington, April I5.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent IS to I0 warm wave II to
Is, cool wave y to 2I. This disturbance
is expected to bring severe storms, a
wave of unusually high temperatures, to
inaugurate a downward trend of tenn
peratures with increasing rainfall in the
rain districts and increasing drouth III
the drouth districts, See bulletin of
March Is for drouth and rainfall dis
tricts and also see April monthly chart
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about April 20, cross Pa
cifc slope by close of FL, great central
valleys p to "a, eastern sections 60.
Warm wave will cross the Pacific slope
about Ajril 20, great central valleys p,
eastern sections "a. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about April 23, great
central valleys 25, eastern sections p.
Temperatures of this disturbance will
average lower than usual. The cool
wave will carry frost further south than
usual and will go near the frost line in
northeastern sections not far from 20.
Rains will increase in raj nsections and
drouth increase in sections heretofore
designated A great rise ntemperature
and a decrease in rainfall generally will
follow the cool wave of the above de-
scribed disturbance.
Because of the high temperatures that
will come in during the last week of
April the week centering on April %
will be a good time to plant and sow in
northern latitudes. Within $50 miles of
a line drawn from Dodge City, Kan
sas, to Biddeford, Maine, | advise farm
ers to plant and SOW for dry May. In
the spring wheat sections the wheat
should be drilled for a dry June
1t is a good rule that will win oftener
than it will lose, for farmers to hold an
abundance of grain and other feed till
they have some assurance Of what the
new crops will be- Don't forget that the
crop and market news is largely the pro-
duct of interested parties and is often
unreliable Never has Misrepresentation
been so great as within the last six
months

CORNER STONE SERVICE
The First Christian Church Established
in Shreveport by Rev. c. l. Jones.

As programmed, appropriate exer-
cises will be held today in the laying of
the corner stone of the Christian church,
which is in course Of construction at the
corner of Hope and Snow streets.
This church, as planned, is to be a
magnificent ediice and will be a credit
not only to the congregation but to the
city as we'll.
This edifce is, as it were, a record of
steady progress beginning several years
ago when Rev c. L. Jones came to
Shreveport a stranger, and after gath
ering a few of the members of his
church held services for months in a
small room.
Under his steady and we may say
neyer-let-go purpose the membership
from a few has increased to hundreds,
and from the small room it was ad-
Vanced to the church building at the cor
ner of Lawrence and Oakland streets,
which was sold, and from there the CON
gregation was moved into the Taber-
nacle on the site upon which the new
structure is being erected.
At this time and until the new church
building is completed, worship is held in
the city hall
What eventful changes have occurred
in the history of this Christian church
from the day it was first established i'll
Shreveport.
For years the record is a series of
self-sacrifce, of patience and fortitude,
and of a determination to succeed which
finally has been crowned with the most
satisfactory results.
During all these years Mr.. Jones has
never faltered, but has been led by his
love for the Master and the hope which
triumphas at last over many difficulties
when fortified with intelligent efforts.
1t is not only as minister, a servant
of God, that Mr. Jones should be con-
sidered, but he is entitled to the esteem
of all good citizens irrespective of creed.
As a pastor he has ministered untir-
ingly to those who have been and are
always in need of help, not only in
scriptural sense but in comfort and Sub
stantia1 material aid.
He is rightly numbered with the best
of citizens. He is an honor to his
church and a credit to this community.
Indeed, he is a man who is dutiful and
helpful and whose influence for good is
beyond measurement by the ordinary
standard.
This is a glorious day for him. This
laying of the corner stone of the new
church is an inspiration for greater eff
forts, and if his life be spared, and it is
hoped he will leave many years in this
city, he will continue to impress his
influence and his good work on this
community.

TWO PARISHES HOLD LIQUOR
ELECTIONS.

New Orleans States: During the past
week the police juries of two parishes,
Vermilion and Caddo, have passed or
dinances calling for new elections on the
question of the licensed saloon. That
in Vermilion is to be held on May 23.
Caddo will vote June I. The results will
be awaited with a great deal of inter
est, for the will tend to show whether
the recession of the prohibition wave
continues.
The election in Vernilion will be the
third held The people voted out the
saloon quite unexpectedly about the time
when the whole South was threatened
with submergence. Last year a new
election was ordered. The vets counted
confidently on success; but somewhere
they slipped cog, and when the vote
was counted they found themselves in
minority. They maintain, however,
that since then conversions i'll favor of
the licensed saloon under strict regula-
tions have grown steadily in number and
that the result will be decisive.
The whole State will watch what is
sure to be a spectacular fight in Caddo,
in which the second largest city in the
State is located The saloon issue was
Iprecipitated in Shreveport in the win
ter of I9o7-I9o8 by the lawlessness and
arrogance of the saloon interests, who
felt themselves too powerful to be dis
lodged. Owing to the threatened loss of
$IIo,ooo a year in revenue, and the fear
of business disturbances, the city cast a
majority of 800 against prohibition. But
the rest of the parish was already dry,
and it rolled up vote sufficient to over
come by Is the urban margin.
| The. law went into effect on January
I, 1000. Since then there has been con-
slant discussion as to its effect The
prohibitionists have maintained that
crime has been cut down and the gen
eral prosperity of the city increased. The
antis have held to the contrary and have
urged that, in spite of the remorseless
pursuit and punishment of violators of
the ordinance, intemperance has not
been suppressed.

IT'S worth another determined effort.
He seems to be better fixed now than
he ever was. He's living at the AS

all that sort of thing. He must have

"He certainly appears to be pros

sible enough in business matters. He
wouldn't be where he is today If he
weren't. But when it comes to the
woman question he's as blind as a
bat. What right had a man of his
age to go and marry a woman 20
years his junior? OF course she only
married him for his money. Every
body knows that except he. People
laugh at him behind his back. Instead
of enjoying a quiet, peaceful home in
the declining years of his life, he is
compelled to keep open house and en-
terrain people who are personally OBJ
noxious to him, simply because that
sort of life pleases his young wife"
who was she, anyway, before their
marriage?" interrupted Annie.
"Oh a nobody he replied She
was very attractive looking, dressed
well and was clever enough to get in
Productions to good people. She man
aged to make herself popular in the
smart set and she needed money to
carry out her social ambitions. Dad
caught him in her net, that's ALL"
Annie listened with interest she

this woman who treated her with such
contempt was herself something Of an

The best time to catch him would
be in the evening" replied Howard.

Howard shook his head.

should find him in. He's out every
night somewhere. Tonight there's an.

house. He'll probably be there. l
think I'll wait till tomorrow night.
I'm nearly sure to catch him at home
then"
Annie rose and began to remove the
dishes from the table Howard non
chalantly lighted another cigarette
and, leaving the table, took up the
evening newspaper. Sitting down
comfortably in a rocker by the win
dow, he blew cloud of blue smoke
up in the air and said:

night to the Astruria and strike Bob
Underwood for that So OO0."
