DESTROYED BY FLOOD
njured-Estimated TWO Million
Dollars Damages

Columbus, Ohio.-Four dead, scores
injured and more than two million dol
lars worth of property damaged, is
the toll of floods in central Ohio. Hun
dreds of acres of land are under wa
ter and vast acres imperiled by weak
levees and embankments.
In several places in Ohio, the dis
astrous flood of March, 1918, was ex-
ceeded. At Lima more than two hun
dred homes were submerged. Mayor
Miles Standish issued proclamation
stating that while the property dam
age there would exceed five hundred
thousand dollars no outside aid in re-
lief would be asked.
A large portion of Kenton was sub
merged and Foraker, near Kenton,
suffered considerable damage Sew.
eral houses were washed away, and it
is feared number lost their lives.

HERRICK FOR RURAL. CREDITS
THE FORMER AMBASSADOR TO
FRANCE URGES cO-OPERA-
TION OF FARMERS
Contrasts Conditions Here And Abroad
And Says Comparison Is Not
Complimentary

Hot Springs, Va-Myron T. Her
rick, former ambassador to France,
urged establishment of independent CO.
operative organizations of farmers.
He asserted that not one of the sue
cessful cooperative system in oper-
alton in this country or Europe owed
existence to Intervention of the gov
ernment, and that agricultural prog
ress was not keeping pace with the
expansion of industry and population.
A cooperative system to be success
full, according to Mr.. Herrick, musf
be built up by the farmers themselves
without outside assistance of any sort.
"Europe's problem was to remove
troubles which actually existed" said
Mr. Herrick; "ours is to prevent them
from occurring. Agricultural prog
ress here is not keeping pace with the
expansion of industry and the growth
of population. Unless its progress be
accelerated, the shortcoming of agri-
culture amidst the rapid advance of
all things else will sooner or later
be detrimental to the country's well
fare.
"Organized selling and purchasing
power is best attained through coop
GRAFTON. Cooperative organization of
farmers was so remarkably successful
from its start over fifty years ago in
Germany that bankers, merchants,
statesmen and students soon acknowl-
edged its wonderful benefits. Coop
GRAFTON means mutual benefits. Coop
GRAFTON means mutual self-help. 1t
spurns charity and subsidy, state aid,
special privilege and class legislation.
1t rests entirely upon itself, gives full
play to individualism.
"a rural cooperative bank is exact
ly what its name signifies and some
thing more, because it takes the place
to some extent of the country store. 1t
devotes it's resources exclusively to
the agricultural good of it's immediate
neighborhood.
"The real cooperative bank works
for the individual good through the
common good of its members. The
main use of the funds is to buy farm
tail to members at lower price or on
better terms than they could obtain
for themselves if each were standing
alone.
Government aid is the rock against
which the rural credits movement has
been dashed. Particularly is this the
case with land credits. The bills
which have received the most atten- \
tion in congress provide for state aid,
tax exemptions and special privilege
to such pronounced degree that if
any of them become law it would
set farmers apart as class by them
selves to be pampered and spoon-fed
at public expense and as conse-
quence it would bring down upon
them the enmity of all other classes"

The Putnam county chamber of
commerce met with the Palatka board
of trade on Monday night for the pur-
pose of bringing about the consolida-
tion of the two bodies, arrangements
for which were completed some weeks
ago and mentioned at the time in this
paper.
1t is sufficient to say that the meet
ing was largely attended by members
of both organizations, if either hav-
ing the advantage of number it being
the chamber of commerce. Harmony
was so blamed thick at this meeting
that it could be cut with a lawn now
er. Everybody was in good humor
and all seemed to be filled to the neck
with enthusiasm for Palatka.
The business of the meeting was
simply to pass the proposed amend
ment to the boards constitution, and
this was done without resort to drugs,
or mineral water. The meeting also
nominated a new set of officers for
the consolidated body, as follows:
For president, B. E. Jarrett; for
first vice president, Warner T. Hamm;
for second vice president, Maurice
Cochrane, J. H. Millican and R. E.
L. Mann; for treasurer, w. A. Wal
ton and Howard Gardner; for board
of governors (six to be elected), c. E.
Rowton, ]. H. Yelverton, Walter Nc

wich, Perry Ross and Fred Cochrane
The election will be on the second
Monday in August.
