ceipt Of letter from Supt. of Schools
Ernest l. Thurston, on the subject .of
vacation schools and school gardens,
which reads. in part. as follows:
Il am most heartily in favor of va
cation schools. and of school gardens
and related outdoor activities. We have
done some work in both these lines,
and I should be very glad IL that work
could be extended. / am a thorough
believer in the right use OF the public
schools to the greatest extent possible,
and i believe that such uses can be
found for them not only during the
regular school session. but during the
summer months.
II might say, also. that / am not
only interested in any gardening plan
which involves competent instruction
in the subject, but that / am a be-
lever also in elective courses, at least
in agriculture. in the regular city
schools"

5000 HOMES ARE FLOODED

Causes Creek to Overflow Into
Kansas City.

Kansas City.-Night fell or Kansas
City with many sections under water
because of the overlooking Of Turkey

estimated, were flooded and several
hundred families driven from their
homes. The water was receding, but
there was much danger from collaps-
ing buildings. Two men we're killed
when they came in contact with a
broken trolley wire, a number were in
jured slightly and numerous thrilling
rescues are reported. The total loss
is estimated at about 1900, 900. Tele-
phone service throughout the city was
demoralized and street a service was
suspended in many sections.
Turkey creek, a drainage stream,
always treacherous, was a harmless
thread of murky water when the men
and women who live in the valley
southwest of the city went to bed.
Then came rain, which continued 10
hours and so minutes, with a fall Of
6.94 inches, the biggest rainstorm ever
recorded In Kansas City.
Mill creek, a small stream flowing
through Country club, an exclusive res
idence section, also rose and carried
away outbuildings, motor cars and 9TH
vehicles. In the eastern part Of the
city Mount Washington cemetery was
inundated. The Blue river rose Is

at Franklin and marched afoot

He left Franklin in IN automobile,
delivered a short address at J%eanerette
and a mile and a half outside Of New
Iberia gave up the machine for a horse
and led a procession Of horsemen into
the town. The trip back to New Or
leans was by train, and in the five
hours ride he spoke at least a score OF
times to small crowds that gathered at
the rear Of the train at each station.
Most Of the day was spent In the
sugar bowl" the center Of the Louis
lana sugar industry, and In each ad-
dress Col. Roosevelt spoke Of what he
termed the unnecessary removal Of the
tariff on sugar. While he told again
OF what he thought of the proposed
payment to Colombia of SIS, 900 900 for
the Panama canal zone and touched
casually upon the foreign policy OF the
present administration. the most no
ticeable applause came when he dis
cussed the sugar situation.
Col. Roosevelt was enthusiastically
received at each stop. Excursion
trains brought many people to New
iberia. In commenting upon this
Mayor D~elahousaye, who introduced
the former president, said that this
was the first time an ex-president ever
had visited that section of Louisiana
and that a candidate for the presi-
dency never had come to New Iberia.
