fair to be one of the best uplift pict-

story itself is one that will find favor
with the public generally, on account
of the sermon it delivers through the
silent acting and vivid perturbation Of
the players, made possible by the care

WORST DANGER IS

Confidence That Crisis Has Beep
Reached in Flooded Drainage Dis.
trict is Felt by Land Owners,
APPEAL FOR GOVERNMENT AID
isS That Engineers Cut Hole in Low
er End pike to Leave Water Out
When Mississippi Recedes.

Confidence that the worst damage is
over as a result of the break in the
prury drainage district dixie is the
feeling today of score of Rock Is
land farmers who own property in
the section covered by water and in
the two districts below.
That the high mark has been reach
ed was the belief today. Anxiety was
felt for the Copperas creek or Union
drainage district yesterday. Some an
prehensiOn was also expressed re-
pressed regarding the ability of the
dikes Of the New Boston or Bay Is
land district. but today confidence that
the wafer would recede without fur
Their damage was expressed.
As ii stands now the loss is only
pctential Farmers believe that should
they be able to drain the water from
the inundated district they could get
into the fields soon enough to plant
and secure good crops in the fall.
Property owners in the district held
a meeting at the Muscatine cour,
house yesterday, at which time thew
decided to appeal to the federal gov
ernment for aid. They desire to open
the dixie at its lower end to let the
water out when the river starts re-
ceding. As it is now the water on
the interior Of the bikes is as high as
the river stage.
Make Application fer Aid.
4 committee Of the farmers called
on Major c. NJ Hoffman. in charge of
the improvement of the upper Mis-
sssippi river, in Rock Island yester-
day. Formal application in writing
was made to the government The
farmers expect, however, to employ
private labor TO cut the hole in the
dixie should they receive no reply in
a short time They are DESTROYS of
getting the water out Of the district
just as soon as they can, as at the
earliest they will barely have time
TO get their planting done TO assure
good crops in the fall.
In some places in the district water
covers the land from s to u feet,
while in other places there is only
from three to four feet. Fortunate
ly for most Of the people who live
in the district their homes are stu
ated on high points and damage to
their furniture will not be as great
as was at first thought
