There were 10 deaths in Sharon,

Estimates are that 10000 persons
are marooned in Dayton's flooded
district, where $1,000 homes have
been submerged. Rescue stations
are providing for 5000 homeless.
The property damage in the city is
figured at 100000.
Alarmists reports were frequent
during the day. In most cases these
were quickly contradicted. Rumors
that the Grand reservoir near st.
Mary's, o., had broken proved un-
founded Similar reports about the
Lewiston reservoir, likewise, were
found to be untrue. Threatened
breaks in both were repaired and re-

Contagion has broken out among the

Fires in Dayton's flooded district
subsided yesterday but broke out
again last night.
Sight-seers are not permitted In

and left stranded below the town.
Flood conditions along the Ohio
are growing worse. Lowlands in
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, are mum

Heath Springs, keeps a store and

These eggs were bought in from the

The worst condition found near
the center of the food was in the
work-house where 60 prisoners
have not had drop of water or a
bite of food since Tuesday. The men
revolted Tuesday night and de-
manded their liberty and a chance
to fight for their lives. Since then
the work-house has ben a mad
house, according to Superintendent
Johnson. The prisoners repeatedly
fought with Johnson and threatened
to Kill both him and his family.
Johnson asked that detachment
of the National Guard be assigned
to help him handle them. He de-
clared that the men would have to
be shot if they escaped from their
cells.

Unless swelled by death list in

From other points than Dayton
the death list grew rapidly yester-
day and last night.
There was far heavier loss of life

than was thought One estimate
placed the number OF dead at more
than 600.

Are You Keeping School Chill
dren Home on Excuses?

Longer school terms for country
children are one of the South's most
urgent needs, as the Progressive
Farmer insists, but there is some
thing that should come first, and
that is more regular attendance. OF
what avail are more school daj $
when the children don't attend on
the days that there is schooling Of
fered them:
In the cities and larger towns the
authorities enforce attendance, but
if you viii examine the registers of
a few country schools, you will be
appalled, to find how small is the
average attendance, how trivial the
excuses which keep the pupils at
home.
Even if the children are eager to
60, the parents keep them out on
any little pretext. Monday, Mary
is needle. to help with the washing,
and Johnny is too little to go alone.
Tuesday. it is too cold; Wednesday,
it looks like rain and Thursday is
too late in the week to start. The
next week is hog-killine. never
yet understood why hog-killing
should keep children from school,
but it does. If the children are
promoted, they are kept home be-
cause sending them means buying
new reading book, and if they
aren't promoted, the teacher,is no
good" so at home they stay.
