When Oramel Hinkley Simpson, Governor of Louisiana, wrote has offi- cial announcement: "I do hereby de- clare that a public emergency exists and an artificial break in thelevee of the Mississippi. River is hereby ordered to be created . . ." he wrote also a deatb-sentence for two Louis- iana' parishes, St. Bernard and Pia- quemines. With'an area of some 50 square miles, a population variously estimated at from 8,500 to 5,000, these two delta parishes, lying almost .at sea level between New Orleans and the Gulf, were turned in to a yellow lake by the Poydras cut. Along high- ways to New Orleans, in trucks and wagons, on horses and mules, many walking, trooped the inhabitants of the doomed district. Strange folk they are, known as-='Cajans," speaking a dialect half -French, half -Spanish. Some, small truck -farmers, peace - loving, quiet, made no protest; others, marshland trappers, illiterate, isolat- ed ,clutched solat-ed'•clutehed long rifles, cursed the "fat officials" in -the "so -great" city who had ordered their homes flooded. But all. departed, and their footprints ,were washed out by rising waters. Soon only an occasional roof top re- _mained above the muddy waste, Crawling southward at the rate of a mile an hour, the crest of the Miss- issippi flood last week spread through Arkansas and Louisiana the desola- :.'bion that last fortnight it had brought to Kentucky and Tennessee. Some 600 feet of levee at South Bend, Ark., crumbled, water rushed through' to ward 30 towns in southeastern arkan-I SAS driving 50,000 refugees before it.. Levees "went out" near Glasscock, and Vidalia, northern, Louisiana, op -I posite Natchez, leaving 8,000 square Miles of land occupied by 200,000 per -I ere sons in the path of the uncontrollable waters. THE' DAMAGE. Property damage already done by the -still-menacing river was beyond Morethan . estimation. h 6,000,000 acres were inundated, more than 800,000 were homeless and figures were being daily revised upward. A conservative estimate placed the dead at 850, but many of the thousands Bated as miss- ing were feared to have been drown- ed. Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover, in charge of the flood die - inlet, appointed •onetime (1920.124) Governor of Louisiana John Milliken Parker to head relief work in Louis- iana, traveled tirelessly up and down the river. Once his boat was fired at from the shore—probably' as a hint to keep midstream lest the wash en- danger the levee. The Red Cross quickly collected a $5,000,000 relief fund, began a drive :for $5,000,000 more. Pestilence and curtailed water supply threatened crowded refugee camps. • Governor John Martineau of Arkansas asked the Red Cross for enough smallpox and syphoid vaccine. to inoculate 25,- 000 persons. Senator Joseph T. Rob- inson of Arkansas suggested a spe- cial session of Congress to provide funds for relief work; President Cool- idge decided that the emergency would be over before Congress could assem- ble and make appropriations. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi invited" the President to visit the flooded area. The President declined, listening in- •� ataad to a report by Secretary Hoover, fivho returned to Washington. BUSINESS AS 'USUAL. From New Orleans ' cane . reports that business was as usual, that the danger to the city had been exagger- ated by a nation-wide, seneation- seeking press. Newspapers were ac- cused of having published pictures of New Orleans streets, "flooded by rain, of labeling these pictures as "Missis- eippi flood scenes." Nevertheless, citizens of New Orleans waited tense- ly as the flood crest, slow as a snail but powerful ea the sea, moved closer to their city. Fishermen came in from the Gulf of Mexico with news ,that the Gulf Stream had been darkened by the Continent's prodigious discharge of silt; that great; fishes were schooling, seaward to est-epe suffocation.

THIS GREAT TONIC CARRYING IT TOO FAR. y RENEWS STRENGTH All Men Placed Subject to Trial Period MARTIN, Minister of Agriculture Simply Because it Enriches and Builds Up the Blood In no trouble 1s delay or neglect more dangeroue than in anaemia, which means poverty of the blood. It Is very common in young girls and in Persons . who are overworkedor con- fined within doors. It makes its ap- proach in so eteallthy a manner that it is often well developed before its presence is recognized. But taken in time there Is a tonic that so enriches and purifies the blood that good health. and strength soon comes to the for- mer weak, anaemic sufferer. This tonic is Dr, Williams' Pink Pine, which for years have been the most success- ful blood -builder known, and have credit for restoring to good health thousands and thousands of people who have suffered from some of the many ailments that come through weak, watery- blood. The correction of anaemic condi- tions by Dr. Williams' pink Pills is as certain as anything can be. As proof of this Mies Margaret A.

Business -Like It is painful for a live and squirm- ing lobster to be immersed suddenly in boiling water. So decided the mem- bers of the Royal Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals, after careful consideration, in London a fortnight ago. They protested to res- taurateurs against this barbaric treatment of the inarticulate lobster; sought to discover a more humane method of killing. Last week champions of the oyster arose with claims of even greater. atrocities. Consider the oyster, said they. First, he (or she) is ripped unkindly from the shell, stuck through the flesh with a fork, dipper in a smarting pepper cocktail, partly mangled by human teeth, squeezed down a narrow canal, smothered to death in the gastric juices of the hu- man stomach. How can civilized sen- sibilities stand for this, asked the oys- ter's friends. Could a man swallow a slimy, wiggling baby toad and not feel any reaction in his stomach? Edward G. Boulenger, Director of the Aqua tum at the London Zoo, a stalwart oyster champion, called at- tention to the following evolutionary axiom: "The higher the form of life an animal has, the more keenly it suffers." War on Rats The war on rata and mice is gen- erally carried on with traps. and poisons. Ferrets and small rat -catch- ing terriers have been very effective. Nature has also provided some natural enemies among which snakes are most active. These, with the exception of the one poisonous variety in Canada, the rattlesnake, should be protected. Owls and hawks are valuable as de- stroyers of noxious rodents and the services of the owl particularly should be reconglzed. The continued destruc- tion of the natural enemies of rata, mice, and gophers is held to have been r in 1 res onsible for the 'inc ease largely p numbers of these food -destroying rodents.
