Wednesday morning and we had to
take care Of It. This week we are
prepared for everything a flood.

IN Is inch squirt pipe was gurgling
full. Back water flooded the school
house grounds, and created q beauti-
full cascade between Tom Collins and
Mr.. Norton, while over on the Linn
corner where the 10 inch pipe was
gasping for breath, = small flood was
beating fiercely against the rock foun-
dation, Of the Linn home. DR.. Lew
