NOW THAT Cuero has decided to re-
sume the Turkey Trot and has set the
■date for Nov. 10-11-12 and 13 let’s give
them the glad hand and help make it
a success. It is not strictly a Cuero
affair, it covers all this section of
Texas and it presents an unsurpassed
opportunity to advertise this portion
of the state. Petty sectional differences
only serve to minimise tbe participants
while co-operation always enlarges the
Held of usefullireis and scope,of oppor-
tunity. Let’s make “.Turkey Trot”
mean closer bond of friendship and
stronger spirit of co-operation for all
southwest Texas.
THE RAIN yesterday and last night
was not very copious In this imme-
diate vicinity but the weatherman
showed his good intentions. Hocbheim
«nd sections west of here fared bettor
and we are sure appreciated the favors
shown. We await our turn with pa-
tience.
IT MIGHT pay you to read care-
fully the article on the powerful new
plane carrier appearing in another
part of the paper. This launching
marks the first step in the method of
fhrfare .namely from the air. The ac-
-count is as interesting as a novel, and
the tremendous possibilities of the
ship are awe inspiring.
POWERFUL NEW PUNE
CURRIER IS LAUNCHED
CAMDEN, N. J., April 8—The Sara-
toga, the world’s greatest and swiftest
airplane carrier ,was launched at the
New York Ship Building Corporation
yard at 1:18 p .m. Tuesday.
As the newest addition to the Amer
lean navy started to gracefully slide
into the Delaware River, the mother of
warship, Mrs. Curtis D. Wilbur, wife
of the secretary’ of the navy gave the
great ship her name.
Built to contain the mightiest pro-
pelling engine that ever went into a
ship, the U. S. S. Saratoga took to the
water here today as t)ie first of Uncle
Sam’s fleet of fast, hard-hitting air-
plane carriers. The launching marks
a tremendous stride forward in the art
of naval- construction .although tl%e
serviceability of the Saratoga as a
floating hangar aqd launching field for
airplanes still is to be proved.
The huge, queer-looking craft will
carry 180,000 horsepower to give her
the 33 to 34 knot speed she needs. Her
dynamos would furnish all the electri-
city needed by a city of nearly 1,000,-
000 population for light, heat, cooking,
street cars and nearly every other pur-
pose; her mighty steam turbines are
stronger than the combined steam pow-
er of all the ships In the navy just a
few decades ago: her vast flying dock
is long enough and broad enough to
hold two old-time battleships set end
to end.
And yet the ship is just a monster
experiment with the newest form of
auxiliary naval power .air power. Her
future is written in interrogation
points'; so far as naval experts at home
I
or abroad arc concerned; It depends missions of destruction,

of her stacks, a cramped navigating
bridge ,and stumpy mast to rear her
wireless aerials aloft. She will look,
w’hen completed .like a monster sea-
going barge with a misplaced deckload
and all the symmetry and beauty of
line that would have marked her as
a cruiser will be lacking.
But in the 32 heavy bombers and 40
combat and other types of aircraft de-
signed to clear the air from the decks
of the big craft ,the Saratoga will
carry a potential destructive force far
greater than would have been the
power of her guns. She will
enough explosives in reserve to re-
equip the air ships after they have
dropped charges that would wreck a
city. She will carry enough gasoline
and to keep all the motor cars of a big
town in operation for a week, and she
'will have every appliance that naval
(ingenuity has yet devised to assist the
planes when they set out on their grim
