Washingtow, D. C., Nov. 29.-4oast
bulletin gate forecasts of disturb
ance to cross the continent Nor. 2i I
to Lec. I, warm wave ot. 26 to 30, t
cool wave Now. 2W to tDec. 3. Warmer i
than usual is expected as this dis
turbants approaches and * cold
wave sWill immediatelf follow, thus
breaking 'i' the long warns spell
and carrying frost far down toward
the gulf coast of West Indies seas.
We have gioen warnings of the
severe winter storms this disturb
ance would inaugurate and about
the time this bulletin is published
we expect many parts of the world
to be in the grip of storms that will
be above the average intensity.
These storms manifest their force
or intensity through what are
termed weather features, called
heat, cold, wind, rain, snow, sleet,t
thunder, lightning, the high, the
low, the tornado, the hurricane,
frosts, freezes, etc., and when any
I of the weather features are extreme
the force or tension of the storm is
the cause. Intensity of above de
scrioed storm will increase as it
progresses eastward.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about Dec. 3, cross Pa-1
a cific slope by close of 4, great cen
I tral valleys 5 to 7, eastern sections
8. Warm wave will cross Pacific
5 slope about Dec. 3, great central
valleys 5, eastern sections 7. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
Dec. 6, great central valleys 8, east
ern sections 10.
This storm will be preceded by a
cold wave and temperatures lower
than usual and will inaugurate a
high temperature wave that will os
cillate up and down, but continually
rising higher and higher, till about
Dec. 17 to 20, when very warm
weather is expected. Not much rain
or snow is expected, while the tem
peratures are thus rising from
about Dec. 3 to 18.
Most precipitation usually comes
a few days before the cold waves
come in and as cold waves are ex
pected to reach meridian 90 not far
from Dec. 3 and 23, most precipita
tion is expected about or a few days
before these dates.
But the most interesting feature
of this storm last described will be
its severe or dangerous or destruc
tive force. It will be one of the
most severe storms of the winter,
and our readers should not hesitate
to prepare for it. We are not yet
able to closely locate the most se
vere features of these storms. Of
course some parts of the continent
will have mild and beautiful Indian
summer while these fierce storms
are raging in other sections. But
we would select Briti.,h ,Columbia,
the country adjacent to the St. Law
rence and northeastern sections and
the vicinity of Panama as three
centers of large sections in which
the coming storms will be most se
vere. Draw straight lines from these
three localities so a to connect the
three and not far from these lines
the most radical weather events of
the winter are expected to occur.
We selected Omaha, Neb., as the
center of a large section in which
least precipitation would occur in
the fall and winter. Dry weather-as
expected in that section might be
detrimental to winter wheat, but it
might also indicate good crop
weather for next summer.
The speculators have tried to
make it appear that the crops of
South America were ruined by the
floods and drouths, but Foster's
forecasts have held their ground
and South America's crops will at
least be a fair average. We are of
opinion that grain and cotton have
not yet touched bottom prices.

went bp the General Asemibli.
On Tuesday evening Wov. ;, and
Wednesday, Nov. 26, there was. a
gathering of Anti-Saloon t.eague
representatives in the City Hall at
Alexandria for the purpose of final
ly passing upon the character of
legislation to be sought by prohibi
tionists at the next session of the
General Assembly of Louisiana.
I The meeting is reported to have
been very well attended, and a suc
cess in accomplishing the work for
which it assembled. The general
Ifeatures of four very important
bills were endorsed, and the meas
ures ordered completed for intro
duction when the Legislature meets
in May of next year.
,One of these bills was an anti
shipping bill prohibiting the ship
ment of liquors from points within
or without the State to dry sections.
Another was a measure prohibit
ing the sale of all malt liquors of
whatever per cent of alcohol where
prohibition obtains.
rAnother requires the druggist to
give a bond of $2,000 as a guarantee
of faithful observance in selling for
medicinal and scientific purposes.
Those present at the meeting
l agreed to offer no opposition to a
bill requiring police juries to order
elections on the liquor question,,
provided that it stipulated a petition
of not less than 45 per cent of all
qualified electors within the subdi
vision seeking the election.
The question of having a bill in
troduced for a general Statewide
election either by the State as a
whole or by congressional districts,
was left to the wisdom of the leg
islative committee.
Cross Lake Land.
Now that the city has announced
its readiness to acquire the Cross
Lake- land, as is provided by the
legislative act of 1910, there should
be no unnecessary delay in reach
ing the long sought end. The ac
quisition of Cross Lake is to be held
as a reservoir of wholesome water
for the use of the 1 citizens of
Shreveport. Water in this instanec
should supersede every claim of the
State to the mineral rights. The
value of this lake as a reservoir of
wholesome water is greater than all
the minerals which in time could be
developed, from which the State
would in a comparative sense re
ceive little money, probably not ex
ceeding $50,000, but this is an indi
rect condition which should not be
permitted to stand in the way of the
acquirement by the city of the
11.000 acres which are embraced in
this tract.
Great Advocate of Total Abstinence.
Dodson Times: Hon. Josephus
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, in
an address at a Sunday school rally
in the District of Columbia, made
the appended statement before
thousands of Sunday school chil
dren of Washington:
"I advise all young men to follow
the course set a few days ago by our
great Secretary of State. Secretary
Bryan has 'refused to eat meat from
the king's table and the wine that
was offered.' When he gave that
notable banquet to the diplomats of
the several countries represented in
the United States, he had the cour
age of his convictions and did not
serve wine to those men who had
been accustomed to having wine
with their dinners. When, in ex
planation of his action, he told the
statesmen there assembled why he
had refrained, they stood up and
applauded him. They were proud
to be 4nde4ed a wiaeless dinner by
h bad %oaowed the de.

THANKSGIVING
At this season of the year when we are all supposed to give
thanks, we ponder upon the blessihgs for which we should be most
thankful. The greatest blessing that we enjoy is the friendship
and patronage of a host of the best people on earth. Without this
favor from these loyal friends our plant of over one hundred thou
sand square feet of floor space, with the most costly anid up-to
date machines, which represent the work of a lifetime, would he
next to worthless. It is superfluous to say that we are grateful
for their friendship and patronage. We seriously and conscien
tiously try to express our appreciation by giving them the very
best goods that it is possible to produce and by selling to theni at
a price that is as low as is consistent with high quality, and by
treating them 4airly in every way.
