The Banners Correspondents.

Well. "Jacko" has come back to us.
having gotten in several good news re-
ports during the past month. We felt
all along that she was only resting up
and was too friendly inclined not to
| hang on with us.
And Gray Mule" is back on the job
to enliven the columns of the Banner
with his dry humOr and good news
paragraphs.
Freckles' has come into the big
= family" apparently to stick. She
sends in Il good report every week.
Pat" stays on and on. always
ready to help out and ever on the
alert for good news paragraphs. We
haven't more faithful correspondent
unless it is Good Eye"-on the job
these past five years and still going
strong. They are the kind we like.
And Alt gets i'll a report nearly
every week. just as if we couldn't pub
fish Il newSy paper without her help
and maybe we couldn't.
And there are others on the steady"
| list who we do not think of at the
momentum what has become Of our
good correspondent at Atkins? Why
can't our young lady friend at Haugh-
ton put that friendly burg back on the
map? Aren't there any more Dixie
DoinSs?" Where is little Blue Eyes
spending the summer? Has Bright
| Eyes entirely forgotten us? And has

in the world; so that now it is no
more liable to overflow than the river
front. Everything needed now is cheap
labor. in order to throw, i'll a few
years. 10000 bales of cotton OH the
market from this reclaimed land. just
il few more improvements of the same
sort, which we could point out, would
give Bossier a solid cotton plantation

producing Il bale and il half to the

"The contemplated Improvement
might cost the land s. per acre. but
would render it entirely free from
every danger of overflow. Let the
river be Strengthened, let every outlet
from it i'll Bossier lie closed, and let a
large front levee be built-and the
thing is done. All this must seem vain
speculation, but should the influx. of
Chinese labOrerS be as great as appre-
hended. the thing could be effected in
a few years.
Those who have an interest in
these lands now see the great good
that has been effected. and, therefore.
it is hoped that, at least, they will
close Willow Chute this winter, which

 Soon after daybreak 400 men sta toned at the airdrome were reused from their sleep to prepare for the landing. Lookouts took position in towers and wireless operators prepar- cd to pick up messages from the air ship. The sun rose bright but soon afterward was obscured by clouds There was no wind and those on watch were confident that the dirigi- ble would arrive on time.
 Shouts from those on the field greeted the first sight of the long gray body low on the horizon As the R-54 approached the field she dropped from q height of 5000 feet to 2.000 feet. The men who were to aid the airship in landing were ordered 10 their posi- tion and waited silently as the ship circled the field. dropping lower and lower.
 When Maj G. H Scott. her com mander, had manuevered the airship into position for the landing the wa ter ballast was released to steady her and rope was thrown from the bow The rope was grasped by eager hands and the giant ship moved across the field to the shed where the delicate operation of berthing her was quickly completed without acci. dent
