Fair Weather ProbIabs

Boston, Oct. 11.-Promise of fair weather for tomorrow's fifth game be- tween the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants in the worlds series was held out tonight by Official Fore caster Smith. Showers during the day and early evening made the out look for tomorrow's game dismal. but when the weather man had looked over late telegraphic reports on weath- CT conditions, he said that while rain was headed east it might be delayed until Saturday night or Sunday. He predicted fair weather for tomorrow.
 In spite of & fine drfzzle of rain, which fell this afternoon, the crowds which watched the progress of today's game by the bulletin board reports were almost as great as those which have been out for the previous games of the series. Boston's victory was cheered tumultuousIy, Smoky Joe Wood coming in for especial applause.
 Boston baseball enthusiasts hope that Wood, who has won both his games away from home, may yet pitch against the New York team at Fen way park. Should tomorrow's game be postponed. it was thought probable that Manager Stahl would send Wood back at the Giants on Monday.

Beaumont Enterprise. Oct. 26, 1912.

most satisfactory weekly luncheon
yet given by the Chamber of Com

at the Crosby house. Dr. George B.

rade an address on Town Build

short talks. w. B. Scott, vice presi-

rived Just before the luncheon closed
and he also made an interesting talk
Other guests at the luncheon were

of lafayette. and F. O. Broussard
member of the police jury of Lafay-
cite parish. F. M. Law, cashier of
the First National Bank, acted as
toastmaster.
The Esthetic City.
Prefacing his talk with funny stor-
les about the use of the words aca-
demic and equivocal, DR.. Norton said ::
"Town building is an academic prob.
lem for Beaumont. 1t is not one we
have to solve because it is really well
on its way Man made the city, but
God made the country and in the de.
velopment of city there are many
| things a man may introduce which
| will relatively affect the growth OF
| the city. I was walking in one OF
our streets recently and I noticed
on one side four fine residences all
alike and in the rear of each were
four smaller buildings, servants
quarters or garages, exactly similar
On the opposite side of the street
were forr other residences and serv.
ants quarters of the same design. Ma
ture never does that which will weary
the eve. A variety of colors and lines
and indirect curves is what nature
prefers

I'm the development OF things from
the beginning we are told many
strange and curious stories. One old
tradition says that man in his first
stage grew on trees like nut. Wher
he was ripe the wind shook hin
down and if the wind were strong he
never returned. II it were a ligh'

or if it became cold found an open

ground and made that his home.
THE word town" originally mean
a house. We have the conception
today that it means a number o
buildings. It is reproach to tn
American people that all the peOpl
Of town have such sameness. W.

TAX AMENDMENT
Country Review.

Country Review.
AS a matter of fact, this tax scheme
will relieve the burden upon men of
moderate means in the cities and
towns and upon farmers and country
men generally. The poor man, in
city or country, who opposes these
amendments is opposing his own best
interests and is voting to continue
the inequitable system under which
the rich man has always shifted a
very large part of his burden upon
the shoulders of the poor man. It is
high time that the man of moderate
means should cease to be the mere
pack-horse of the wealthy interests
and the most severe reflection upon
the intelligence of the humber class
es would be expressed by themselves
should they deliberately vote against
these amendments.
