The State Press Association con-
yened today at 2 o'clock in the
council chamber of the City Hall. IL
is about ten years since this asso-
citation held their convention III
Shreveport. To the members OF the
association who attended that con-
yention and who have not been III
this city since then, the growth Oh
Shreveport may be to them as
revelation. The Shreveport OF today
Is filed with the progressive spirit
which is stimulating substantial and
profitable development everywhere
II is in that spirit of progressive
ness that the Caucasian would greet
the State Press Association. With
out the press there would be no
great incentive for the betterment
of conditions. It is the press which
is the herald Of progressiveness;
the press which wields an all-pow-
erful influence in accelerating the
accomplishment of upbuilding; in
the development of the varied re-
sources OF the country and in the
fostering Of prosperity.
II has been well said that the
press Is the palladium OF liberty.
but its scope is greater and more
far reaching. It is of record that the
press has not only destroyed the
ambition of politicians and has
made presidents, but it has also an
initiated the spring poet. Nothing is
impossible to the press, except, per-
haps the recognition which, in ar
individual sense, the publisher, and
especially the editor, receive only
after he shall have been called te
his heavenly reward.
To have the opportunity OF greet
ing the State Press Association is
most pleasing. Indeed the presence
OF the State press in Shreveport is
esteemed in the spirit of gather
ing Of friends, in sense as kim
dreds and kinsmen, engaged in one
Of the most honorable of the distin-
guished professions.
In this spirit Of congeniality and
Of fraternity the Caucasian bids the
association to lay aside all reserve
and restraint and be at home, in the
fullest application Of the intent and
the meaning OF the words. Indeed
-at homo" where good will and
oomradeship, the links in the chain
Of endearment may be strengthened,
prized and recalled with gratifica-
ton.
The greeting of the Caucasian, as
. representative Of the citizens OF
Shreveport is not expressed in idle
words, but is heartfelt and sincere,
and it is our fervent wish that
each and oil the members of the
association will realize their fullest
anticipation Of I most delightful So
iourn, brief rs It is to be, and that
they will be impressed with the
most joyful and lasting recollection
Of this visit to Shreveport.

The fund grew slowly for long time, but patience and perse- verance on the part of Mrs. Sterry &C., complished the purpose, and Friday evening. it was dedicated and presented to the school board by Mrs. Sterry in few we'll chosen words. Mrs. l.. E. Hale, a member of the school board, accepted the gift in behalf of the board. Miss Minnie and Miss Elizabeth Hicks were generous con. tributors to the fund. Mir.

This almost indispensable household remedy, hith- erto feared, detested and avoided be- cause of it's indescribable taste, now has no taste at all This feat has been accomplished after repeated and tedious experiments by a persistent firm of oil refiners in Buffalo, and the Etasteless castor oil is now being sup piled everywhere.
 It is announced that the remarkable feature of the process is that it neith- CT adds to, nor takes anything away but the taste The other character istics, and the value of the castor oil, remain unchanged. Adv.
