CLINTON PEOPLE WERE IN
FLOODED AREA.
Wein this.rpart of the countryhave
complained somewhat this season
about excessive: rains but we have
little to complain of in comparison
P I
with the inhabitants .of the States
along the Mississippi River and its
tributaries, where thousands have
been rendered homeless, millions of
dollars worth of property has been
destroyed and the whole business of
the country' has-been interfered with,
and the means of living swept away
by floods, caused by the overflow of
these rivets.:
Mrs. Harrison, 'wife of Rev. L. C.
Harrison of Clinton; who spent some
months this spring at the home of
her parents at Van Buren, Ark., told

said she was not in the,worat of it by
any means,' .;Van Buren` being com-
paratively high. The town, however,
had a number of refugees from the
flooded area, which the Red Cross
took charge df, finding many ready to
assist in caring for them: In one ease
two families ,.who were driven from
their homes by the flood came to 'a
friend in Van Buren, who took them
in and did as well as possible fer
thein;' although the house was small
enough for the original' family. The
Red Cross becoming aware of the sit-
uation procured a flat for the two
refugee families, who wished to re-
main together. Food,.bedding, furni-
ture, clothing for the family and ali
necessities were .provided. Shortly
after getting settled in their new
home a little new member came to one
Of the families but so busy had

on arrival had everything necessary

Yoix Know," remarked Mrs, Harri-
son, "the Southern, people are noted
for their hospitality, and no one whose
need was known was allowed to suf-
fer," •
The loss- to the farmers and gar.
deters was very great' in all the
flooded area, even -though the floods
in sense places•were not so severe as
in others, For instance in the Van
Buren district a great many straw-
berries are grown and they were just
ripening' when the flood came, This
crop was an entire Loss, ofcourse, in
addition to other crops. Mrs. Ho -
Neon remarked that it is said if the
State of'Arkansi s had a wall built
.around it the inhabitants. could 'grow
everything.necesary for subsistance
within its own borders, so that its
products are of a varied: nature, Most
of the Cattle on the o area oiled' •e

driven off to higher lands and, thus
saved.
Vbs. Bert Sloman,' a Clinton boy,
son of Mr. Jacob Slonian, who is with
a Chautauqua company which touring
the Southern States early in the sea-
son, saw a good deal of the flood and
ite results. Some of the towns in
Which. the Chautauqua was billed
were under flood and had to be mar-
ked off. During the height of the
flood Mr. Sloman sent home several
letters and newspaper 'clippings re-
lating to.it. At onelace where they
y
were crossing the Mississippi, near
the mouth he said the river was 21
feet, 2 inches above normal. The
tri crews
train ews at the several o
l?
nts were
never sure until nttl tAeY reported and re-
ceived orders whether they would be
able to make their run or not.
Writing from New Iberia, La., he
asks: "Did you ever hear of a city of
10,000 being built in three days, even
to electric lights, water, etc?" Then.
he goes on to describe the work of.
the Red Cross, which set up a refuge
eerily to house 10,000 people in, eight
peopleto a tent, each. tent having
board (icier, four rooms and, electric
lighted, sixteen tents forming a block,
divided by gravel streets, .About
eighteen' hundred men and 130 trucks
were employed doing the work. Wells
had to be drilled to ,get drinking wat-'
"er for, while the people were fleeing
from the rising water, it is impossible
to sustain life without it.
t"We had sixty real, live, honest-to-
goodness
onest togoodness Texas cowboys ride into
town today," he. wrote, "They came on
the train: but have their: horses, .All`.
cattle, horses and mules have to be
out of this country by tomorrow night
and a number of ranchers in Texas
offered to care for them and to send
then to drive then: over." These cat-
tle were branded b efore being, taken..
away 'so that they could be identified f f
later, IVlr, Sloman found thette cow.,
boys an interesting sight. They work-
ed until the rising water made fur:
ther work impossible. •
While in New; . Iberia the .Chaut-
auqua gave its proceeds to the local
lied Cross Chapter. Before the
Chautauqua left the town was under
water and girls and boys were walk-
ing' about town in bathing suits, the
water' being waist deep in some-plao-
es. Children and young people were
enjoying themselves swimming about
the streets and motor boats were
common. In some of the towns laws
had to -be passed forbidding' people
speeding their motor boats up and
down the streets,, as they stirred bp
waves which washed into _the houses
causing damage.
A Government`boat went out one
day travelling through the -inundated
area, sailing over towns, villages and

HURON' WELL'REPRESENTED
AT GUELPH'
Tuesday was Huron's day at the
Experimental Farin at Guelph, when
a large number went down, about
fifty going from about here, Messrs.
Paterson and Greer of :the Depart-
ment office each took a car load. A
veryinteresting and instructive time was spent and Mr. Paterson said
some of those. attending had little
idea
of the extent and impotence of
the Provincial Institution, at ,Guelph
and the -visit was a revelation to
them. ' The visitors were shown about
and very. hospitably .entertained by
the 0. A. C. staff and assistants,
Mrs. Paterson thinks it would be S.
well worth anybody's time to take it
day off and take it run -down to the
Farm: Agriculturalists, horticultur-
ists and stock raisers would • all obs
tainmac t cl information and find littler
of interest by. a visit to the Farm. t
