BY request and in cooperation
with some of the local authorities,
the Courier rcfrained from Civ
ing all the facts in connection
with the water situation last week
with the result that all the city
dailieS and nearby exchanges
carried largely exaggerated re
ports on the same subject, imme-
diately following our issue. The
truth that Capt Wilson, of the
Adjtumt office was here, with n
number of tents for relief pur-
poses, was pretty generally known
TO all parties interested.
What today's rain will do a.
the high water situation is a mat
ter OF mere speculation at this
time. The crest of the present
rise is expected here tomorrow or
Saturday, with about 49.5 at
Cairo. If rains have been gen
eral, more water may be looked
for; but no safe prediction can be
expected before tomorrow. The
rain water in West Hickman is
getting TO be serious, with no re
lief in sight. A few more inches
will put it in a number of
houses.
Sen. w. A. Frost and others are

the necessary tinted pasteboard
no small amount of which is ear
ried safely in the inside pocket OF

well as interstate passes would
be a good measure.
John X. Seay, living five miles

w boys down to the Mexican border to
protect the rights of his citizens, American
women are not forgetting their patriotism,
though the suddenness of the blow leaves
them doubly lonely.
II you walk into the Emergency Aid Head
quarters at 1928 Walnut street any day you

with llmousines and women with down-at-

had lost everything the world holds dear.
and women who work because they have
nothing else to do at home.
There are all types In the big, old.fash-

Aid work all day and until $3.50 at night.
Here you see n slender dark girl of the
debutante type Her brand-new wedding
ring shines she moves her hands to adj
just the bandage-rolling machine. She said
the solemn 81 take this man" several days
ago while the boys at Mount Gretna stood
around in dress uniform and cheered the
happy couple with all their might. Today
she works silently and sadly, although there
