Cairo, Ill.,, April News that the
Big Four levee in the drainage district
north of Cairo had gone out shortly
after 6 O'Clock caused great anxiety
over the fate of the levees which pro
tect the city proper when the crest of
the Ohio river flood reaches the city
The opening of the Big Four EN-
bankment is about Is feet wide and
the drainage district will fill to a depth
of fl ON 10 to 20 feet The drainage
district comprises about 1000 acres, in
which are located many big manufac-
turing, mail order and lumber distrib-
uting plants. The territory was flood.
ed last year with a loss of about
$7,00000O. The loss by the present
flood, it is said, will not exceed $1,000
600.
At the time of the former flood Flu
ture City, with a negro population of
15v,0 was inundated. Many houses
there have been unoccupied since that
time, and those who continued to live
in the district had ample warning. 1t
required "a hours for the flood waters
to fill the district last year through a
break 300 feet wide, and it is estimated
that the district will not fill up fol-
more than two days if the present
break is not widened.
Big Four Traffic Halted.
The break will stop traffic on the
Big Four railroad, as the Big Foul
tracks run along the top of the levee.
The time when the flood crest will
reach Cairo has not been definitely de
termined. The river gage showed ;

JAPANESE FESTIVAL

One of the pleasant occasions OF
the season was the japanese Festi
val at .he Opera House. The even
ing's entertainment was given by
DR.. aud Mrs. F H. Riley, assisted by
local talent, for the benefit of the
Christian church.
One of the leading features was
the stage decorations. Some time
ago the Doctor gave a similar affair
at Mansfield for the benefit of the
band, and having the decorations
on hand he brought them to Hart
vile for the benefit of the church.
However he was out some money
and a whole lot of work putting on
the entertainment here.
All the participators in the pro-
gram acquitted themselves admir-
ably and everyone went home feel
ing they had spent a pleasant even
ing.
The church fund was enriched
about $35 and the members feel very
grateful to DR.. Riley and those who
assisted him. Hartville Republican

FARMERS INSTITUTE

Notwithstanding the rainy condi-
ton of the weather, large number
gathered at the Mansfield opera
house Monday evening to attend the
farmers institute.
The first speaker of the evening
was A. J. Mcdowell of Springfield,
dairy agent of the Frisco lines, who
delivered an interesting and instruc-
tive lecture, dwelling largely on soil
fertility and the means whereby soil
lacking in either nitrogen, phosphate
or phosphoric acid-mig ht be treat
ed so as to overcome these deficien-
cies in order that it might produce
the crops it should produce.
Prof. T.E.Quisenberry, director of
the state poultry experiment station
of Mountain Grove, gave lecture
on Successful Farm Poultry, illus
trated by numerous views. His ad-
dress was entertaining and full of
good suggestions to all poultry rails
ers. Mr.. Quisenberry also announ-
ced that to the boy and to the girl
in the Mansfield schools who would
write the best essays along this line
he would send a setting of pure-bred
eggs.
Prof. W.Faurot, who was to lee
ture on The Care of Orchards. y
was unable to be present, having
been called to Arkansas. The pro-
fessor has been with the state ex-
pertinent station, but we understand
he will henceforth be connected
with the development department of
the Frisco.
The Frisco plans to enlarge its
scope of work along these lines, and
much more good will daubtless be
accomplished.
Such meetings cannot help but
have a beneficial effect upon the
communities in which they are held.

Mansfield, composed of Prof. j. A..
Hylton of the Mansfield High
School, DR.. J. A. Fuson as medical
examiner, and N. j. Craig OF the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, will
start the Mansfield boys from in
front of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank promptly at 8 a. m.
Upon their arrival at Hartville
the boys must at once register at
DR.. Riley's Hartville office, where
the prizes will be awarded the win
ners as follows:
First, $3.50 in cash by DR. Riley;
second, 81 so in cash by Bert Ellis
of the Wright County Bank; third,a
years subscription by the Hartville
Democrat.
Ed Archer, landlord of the Young
Hotel, will banquet the Mansfield
contestants at noon free of charge.
Now, boys, get busy. Study the
road between Man field and Hart
vile and see whether "keepin' in
the middle of the road" or "hikin'
across felds' will win. 1t will al
so be noticed whether or not the
mixers beat the mail hack, also
which schools representative makes
the best time. There will be no
Judging in the like, as TRUSTEES will
be posted between Mansfield and
Hartville. Any further information
may be obtained from DR.. Riley at
the Mansfield dental parlors.
This promises to be quite an in
teressing affair and much enthusi-
asm will doubtless be aroused.
Aside from the banquets and the
prizes, the spirit of friendly rivalry
alone should prove a sufficient in
ducement.
Here's hoping the best hikers in
both schools will do their hikingest
