4 flood Of letters to ohio Congressman NOW will
prevent another flood Of waters in years to come

This is the. time for all good men to come
to the aid of Ohio.
Ohio needs government aid in improving the
rivers in such manner to prevent recurrence
of the recent disastrous floods. Congress ought
to appropriate money for this purpose, but Con-
gress will not make any such appropriations
: unless the people of the state demand it.
Right now the members Of Congress are
busy with other matters. Except in isolated
instances, they do not understand the tremen-
dous damage wrought by the high waters. and
they never will understand unless the people
of the state, through personal letters. impress
them with the Importance Of this question.
There is little doubt that the members of the
Ohio delegation in Congress have the best in
terests of the state at heart, but unless it is
made plain to them that the people out here
look upon this food question as being of
greater import than any other question, they
are apt to let up in the endeavor they are max
ing to obtain government action.
In few weeks the great Ohio food will be
only memory to all except those who suffered
from its ravages. Other questions will arise
to occupy the public mind, and other issues will
