CLUbWOMEN' :
A|D|SSECURED
FOR LEVEE BILL
Four National Bodies Also En-
listed in Fight for Flood Pro-
lection on Mississippi.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 1S-Modern wom-
an, the Fifth Estate" has been en-
listed in another of the country's
great problems. The clubwomen Of
Eastern Arkansas are going to help
the Mississippi River Levee Associa-
ton secure a completed system of
levees from Cairo to the Gulf of Mex
leo.
Their assistance was secured when
John A. Fox, secretary manager of
the Mississippi River Levee Associa-
ton, spoke to the Forest City Dis
trict OF the Arkansas Federation, as
sembled at Osceola. Mr.. Fox found
the Arkansas women keenly alive to
the seriousness of the work he leads.
Ready to lend their powerful support
to any project for the betteTment Of
State and nation, the Arkansas wom-
en- quickly offered their help.
Grain Dealers Enlisted.
The action taken at Osceola was
but one OF the four favorable devel
opments as regards the levee bill. At
New Orleans the National Grain
Dealers, at the suggestion Of the
Philadelphia, Pa, delegation, adopt
ed resolutions favoring the Ransdell
Humphreys bill, which provides for a
$50, 100000 appropriation to complete
the levee system. The American So
ciety Of Engineers devoted several
hours to the discussion of the sub
ject, and the Mississippi River Levee
Association also received word that
the American Bankers in convention
Go,
tional control of the flood problem.
Secretary Manager Fox attended
the two meetings at New Orleans and
spoke in enthusiastic terms of the
progress the fight for levees is max
ing:
Encouraged by Prospects.
I'VE are meeting with success
everywhere in this valley and l am
more than encouraged by the re-
Spouse that is being given us from
every part of the United States" he
said in discussing his trip. The OPP
portunity afforded me to address the
grain men enabled me to lay clearly
and concisely before them the prob
lem of the 100000 people who live in
the alluvial valley. I showed them
that we are called upon to bear the
entire expense of conducting to the
sea the flood water of 81 States. Gov
ernor J. Y. Saunders, of Louisiana,
preceded me and gave a splendid ad-
dress on the flood question"
Speaking of the grain convention,
Mr. Fox said:
ut means a great deal for Pennsyl-
vanians to take up this fight for us,
/ was agreeably surprised when the
Philadelphia delegation, comprising
some Of the biggest grain men in
the country, offered to introduce our
resolution. 1t was also gratifying to
find that the people of New Orleans
generally are as much in favor of the
levee proposition as those citizens of
the delta above. The Newlands ad-
vocates have but little foothold in
this section of the country"

GERM NOTE EXCERPTS

Here are extracts from tho
deadly germ" letters written TO
several wealthy Chicago women
and supposed to have been sent to
prominent Georeians as we'll;

chology, he has framed his letters Sc
that they are well calculated 10
arouse fear and horror.
The fears of the three prominent
women who received the letters were
allayed wheE an investigation took
place julius RosenWald, who is the
we'll known Jewish philanthropist,
declared that he subjected the letter
received by his wife to a thorough OK
animation, in the course of which an
expert bacteriologist was called in.
There was revealed however only
strip of gelatin, which held the fold
ed sheets of the letter together
1t was found the sheets were so
arranged that when they We're pulled
apart, greenish-gray powder would
fly on the clothes or into the face of
the person opening the letter. This
powdery substance, analysed, proved
to be the harmless mold that proba
bly, gathered on the top of spoiled
fruit or jam.
Letters Are Identical.
The letter sent TO Mrs. Rosenwald
was a duplicate of those received by
Mrs. steele and Mrs. Butler, leading
detectives to believe that the plan of
the blacllmailer never varies except
az to the amount demanded. Each of
the letters declared the mere opening
OF the envelope liberated 100000
deadly germs which would cause a
high fever within nine days, They
asked that the money be placed in
certain spot and said the serum
would be dispatched at once.
The letter was wOrded as by a man
who knew his ground, declaring,
among other things:
by opening this letter you
have liberated about 100000

Clippings from the Audubon
Republican regarding the death
of Miss Olive Gardner.
At the coroners inquest held at
Boone Saturday morning, Miles
Gardner told bis story. He said
they were going from their home to
attend the football game at Ames
and were travelling at speed of about
90 miles an hour. They had lighted
their lamps some two miles back,
but as it was yet dusk, about six
o'clock, their lights did not shine out
as we'll as in the dark. They were
travelling along down a slight hill
at the bottom of which was a con-
crete bridge. The bridge vas fin
ished but the approaches were not
in, leaving a gap between the road
and the floor of the bridge A
barrier had been built across the
roadway "a feet from the gap. A
roadway quite we'll defined from
much use lead down to the side Of
the usual roadway and across the
low place below the bridge.
According to his story, Mr.. Gard
ner did not see the barrier until
they we're almost upon it, when he
put on the foot brake but did not
have time to put on,the emergency.
The car shot forward into the gap
striking the wall of the bridge
throwing the occupants out Of the
car. Miss Gardner was thrown
from the front seat upon the end of
the bridge, striking her head on
the corner and crushing her fore
head. Her body hung upon the
end wall until she was dragged
from the bridge. In both spots
pools of blood we're left showing
that she lived a short time. Miles
wa 8 knocked senseless, but he re-
gained consciousness in a few min
utes. His forehead has bad cash
but he doesn't know what caused
it. Reuben Musson had many
bruises and scratches, but he was
the least injured Of the three.
Reuben Musson said he saw the
2x6 across the road before Miles
did and cried out, but it vas too
late. A few moments after the
accident Reuben said eight or ten
persons were at the scene with
water TO aid the injured. He thot
Miss Gardner breathed probably
five minutes, but she did not utter
a sound and died before anything
Ecould be done for her Her re-
mains were taken to a nearby house
whe rs il remained until it was
taken to the undertaking parlors'
Saturday morning.
Olive Elizabeth Gardner was
born in Audubon county, Sept. %,
1883 and died October 81, 1918 at
the age of 80 years. She grew to
womanhood in this vicinity where
she wes held in high esteem by all.
She graduated from the Audubon
high school in 1905 and later took
