SPLENDID CATTLE EXHIBIT
The Gulf Coast Fair viii Have a
Wonderful Exhibit Of Cattle Rails
ed In the Piney Woods.

The Gulf Coast Fair was a revela-
ton last year as to what can be &C
complisAed in the way of better live
stock in the Piney Woods and the
showing this year will be even more
wonderful for there will be cattle
bred and reared in Mississippi
where there is no lime in the soil
and will convince every one that
there Is no limit to what can be done.
Among those already entered is
the Fernwood Herd from the Enochs
Farms in Liberty County. Mississippi.
They are Herefords and as fine types
of white faced cattle as can be found
anywhere.
The Shorthorns so far entered are
the Blantrye Herd at Meridian, Miss,
which last year held it's own with
the famous Lsspedeza Herd or Ten
nessee
There is today in Mississippi and
Alabama some of the best bred cat
tie in the United States and the Gulf
Coast Fair has adopted policy of
limiting competition to the Gulf Coast
States believing that this is the best
way OF encouraging better livestock
in the South.

SCHOOL DAY AT
GULF COAST FAIR
AN EVENT THAT EVERY SCHOOL
CHILD SHOULD ATTEND IF
POSSIBLE.
Thousands Of Them Last Year Re-
eeived More Practical Education
and Amusement In a Day Than
at Any Other Time In Their
Life.

One of the day Of days at the Gulf
Coast Fair is School Day, Friday,
November Bird, at which time every
one who goes to school or teaches
school in Alabama, Mississippi or
Florida is admitted for ten cents,
which with the low railway fares and
special trains makes it possible for
every one in this section to spend one
day at the Fair, without great ex-
pense.
The special feature of this day will
be the aviation features with Miss
Katherine Stinson, the little Missis-
sippi girl, looping the loop, doing the
dip of death and flying up-side-down.
There will also be special daylight
fireworks which will be something
never seen by thousands of people
ana which will appeal to the patriot
ism of the boys and girls attending.
Then there will be a parade of the
Boy Scouts and Doll parade which is
something especially for the wee tots.
At night there will be a magnificen$
exhibition of fireworks, prepared es-
pecially for the Gulf Coast Fair by
the Newton Fireworks of Chicago.
Taking the day as q whole, 1t is
doubtful If more could be put into one
day than has been provided for the
boys and girls of the Gulf Coast
Country.

.BASCULE DESIGN
is PLANNED FOR
DRAW OF BRIDGE
East Washington Avenue
Structure Will Be Of Mod
ern Lift Type.
OBVIATES TROUBLE
IN SHIFTING SANDS
Grand Street Crossing Will
Be Ready Before Work
Starts on Other.

Instead of the present style of
swinging bridge on a central pier, the
proposed new East Washington ave-
nue. bridge will have one draw open
ing of the bascuIe lift type operated
from the west pier Of the bridge. This
design has been decided on so that
nos more trouble may be experienced
from the shifting quicksands and mud
that have disturbed the foundations
of the central pier of the present
bridge and caused it to be unsafe for
trolley car travel.
The new bridge will be designed for
trolley car travel of the heavier type
of street cars, which were not in use
when the present bridge was built,
In fact, 1t was not thought that street
car traffic would go that way at all,
when the bridge was built, more than
8 o. years ago.
Designs and plans of both the East
Washington avenue and the Grand
street bridge may be seen at the city
engineers office in city hall. A public
hearing for the approval of the plans
for both bridges will be held in the
common council chamber of the city
hall at $3.50 on the afternoon of Jan.
10. The arrangements were ordered
by Maj. George B. Pillsbury, Corps of
Engineers, U. s. A. The latter. how
lever, has been transferred to a, new
post and his successor will conduct
the hearing.
The East Washington avenue bridge
will occupy substantially the site of
the present bridge bug will be about
10 feet wider. It will have only one
draw opening with a bascule lift. The
east fender of the new bridge draw
will be on~ the same 1inesas the east
fender of the present west draw OPEN
ing. The west fender will be- about
o feet west of the present west fender
of this opening. The new draw will
have a 20 foot horizontal clearance
between Tenders, as compared with
so feet in the present bridge.
The proposed bridge at Grand street
will have a draw span with a. 70-foot
clearance between tenders, measured
at right angles to the channel line.
The draw will be centrally located
with respect to the channel, which is
straight in this locality. The draw
will be a. doub1e-leaf bascule lift.
This bridge will not be destined for
street car traffic. Work will begin
as soon as the plans are approved and
the contracts awarded. The new
Stratford avenue bridge and the
Grand street bridge will be completed
before work is started on the proposed
East Washington avenue bridge.
No street widening is contemplated
at the approaches to the East. Wash
ington avenue bridge, which will cost
$4,000.
Bonds of 100000 were voted for
the Grand street bridge and the streets
and sidewalk committee of the Ncom-
mon council is asking for $4,000 ad-
dftona1 for land damages for widen
ing on the Grand street side of the
bridge. The span will cross the Pc
quonnock, the eastern approach to be
at Arctic street.

Comrades: another year of severe
fighting has elapsed. Wherever a, su-
perior number of enemies has stormed
our lines they have failed before your
loyalty and bravery. Wherever I
have sent you into battle you have
gained glorious victory. Thankful,
we remember today, above all, our
brethren who joyfulIy gave their blood
in order to gain security for our be-
loved at home and imperishable glory
for the fabherland. What they have
begun we shall accomplish with Gods
gracious help.
I'm irnpotent madness enemies from
the west and east. from the north and
south, still seek to deprive US Of all
that makes life worth living. They
long ago buried the hope to conquer
US in b honest4 lighting. On the weight
of their masses: on the starvation of
our entire people, on the influence of
their campaign of ca1umination, which
is as Inischievous as it is malicious,
they believe they can still reckon.
Their plans Will not succeed.
Before the spirit of determination
which imperturbably unites the army
and those at home their hopes will be
miserab1y disappointed. With a will
to discharge the duty to the father
land to the last breath and determine
ton to secure victory, we enter the

of the fatherland and for Germany's
