lola, Kan, Sept 7.-Several farmers
who own land along the Neosho river in

and one-half feet in height, and about
The farmers who helped in the work
were NJ. P. Jacoby, Grant Billbe and
H. E. Lawrence. The levee is not high
enough, however, and it is the purpose
this fall after the most of the farm
work is over to raise the levee already
constructed at least two feet, and make
such other improvements in it as are
possible. The leVee constructed on the
old Jones farm curbs the river in such
a way as to be of great benefit to the
other farms which lie adjacent to it.
hence the willingness of the other farm
ers to help with the work.
It is not claimed for the levee that 1t
will stop the highest foods, but 1t is
claimed for it that when the river is on
one of it's ordinary rampages, the levee
will prevent an overflow, and It is only
when it gets on an unprecedented ram
page that the levee is OF no avail. Hence
the farmers who are building it feel that
the work is worth while. Tt is not more
than once in twenty years that the river
gets out of all bounds.
