Great Loss of Life and Property
In Flood That Inundafes Many Ohio Towns

sucked up in the darkness and an
other chapter was added to the tragic
doubt that now exists as the num-
Der who died in this disaster.
Even the relatives of the supposed
dead are uncertain as to their fate.
The story OF what really happened
during a night and a day in Dayton,
the wonderful city that was built
around a single industry. is being
told by the exhausted rescuers and
the Frustrated victims as they are
brought into the place OF safety.
Each fragment Of the story is a
tragedy III itself.
Here is the story Of George H..
Schaefer, a rescuer who went out
into the flood with a skiff and saved
a woman and baby:
"A house that had been torn from
its foundation came floating up be-
hind u.s. said Schaefer. THE wo-
man was frightened told her
there was no danger
Suddenly. she stood up and jump
ed over with her baby in her arms.
She went straight down and never
came up again.
Then there was the horror that
Bill Riley a salesman for the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, saw
himself.
II saw very old woman standing
at the window of a house waiting for
rescue" said Riley. 1--WE rowed up
to her. Suddenly the house parted
and the woman was engulfed. II was
the last we saw OF her"
Then there was the man who,
nearly rescued. had stepped into the
skiff and then walked back into his
home which a short time later foated
away with him.
And the story of the colored moth
er who was being rowed to safety
with her two babies when the skiff
struck tree and the little craft cap
sized so that the babies we're drown
ed and the mother was rescued BY
Robert Burnham. the owner of the
skiff. only to die before she reached
the hospital.
John Scott. assembled telegraph
pole and guided across the cable to
places of safety. men. women and
children, rescued from flooded
houses. Scott had guided a dozen
persons across the swaying bridges
OF wire when the explosion that
started the fire occurred, and the
shock knocked Scott from the pole
and ne fell into tree
THE last saw of him he was try
ing to get into the window OF an
abandoned house by way of one OF
the branches of the tree" said Frank
Stevens. fellow-employe of Scott.
"The house was in the path of the
fire."

GETTING GRAY? USE SAGE TEA TO

gray hair disappears; after another
application or two it is restored to its

SAYS Land viii Go Up

DIR Eldredge, of Grand Junction. has
the following to say about present
land values:
There never was a time in the his
tory of this valley when real estate
was SO valuable as 1t Is now under
the present prices. for there Is GER
tainity of its rapid increase within a
very short time. This is not the time
to sell, but to buy, and buy literally.
as prices are just as sure to go up
as time is to go on. The pendulum
always swings past the center. and
fluctuations in market prices always
go to extremes. Summer follows win
ter, morning succeeds night and the
rainbow illuminates the shower-thfs
law of nature permeates all things
terrestrial and is as infalible In COM
mercialism as elsewhere"
We have waded through-yes.
through for we are at the end-a long
season OF depression, and are just as
sure to emerge upon very prosperous
one as It is that we have endured the
other.
Do not sell unless you have to
hold on in some way: but hold on.
as 1t will soon be your privilege to
set the price, and get It. too.
! have taken a great deal Of pains
and spent considerable time and
money in a series OF Investigations,
