Judge W. T. Horn was here again

Sidney Stephens, Secretary,
This second call for a meeting Of

John L. Overton has recovered

very much.
The big rise last week put Big

havoc with considerable fencing in

Mrs. R. L. Stephens left a few

FLOODED NEWPORT
IS NOW DESERTED
Many Are Destitute And There Is
Much Want Among The Poor For
Clothing, Fuel And Provisions.

Newport, Feb. 1.-Newport today
faces a worse food than that which
swept over the city last August, as
the result of the levee going out
this morning. Water is now flood
ing through the streets of the busi-
ness and residential sections from
three to ten feet in depth. The on
rush of water sweeping over the
Rock Island levee has already car
ried away several houses. All
train service has stopped, and the
city is isolated except for phone
service.
Forewarned, nearly three-fourths
of the city's population had desert
ed the town, OUTGOING trains carry
ing hundreds each trip.
1t is predicted that the water
will rise at least a foot higher than
it did in the flood of last August.
Since last Saturday there has
been a constant exodus of citizens
from the city. Practically every
negro has deserted for fear of being
herded into a detention camp as
they were last year and being fore
ed to work on the levee.
The onrush of water caused city
officials to deputize a large number
Of citizens as special police. The
entire city is under close guard to
prevent looting of homes.
Many People Arc Destitute
Scores of families in too poor
condition to vacate the city when
the floods threatened, are confined
in upper stories of homes and busi-
ness houses.
While the food supply is thought
sufficient to last several days, there
is much want among the poor for
clothing, fuel and provisions.
Those of the better situated fam"
lilies who elected to remain, have
moved everything into the second
stories and have purchased boats
Every upstairs room or floor space
in the entire town is rented and a,
a premium.
At Batesville White river rose
foot higher than it did in the August
overflow. Conditions in Oil Trough
bottoms are distressing, and much
rescue work has been necessar, d,
there in order to save families ant

TEACHERAGEs IN COLORADO

Mrs. Bradford reports that six dis
tricts IN the state have provided
homes for their teachers. One of the
great obstacles that rural districts
encounter in the effort to obtain su-
perior teachers is the often serious
situation with respect to suitable
living arrangement. Washington
has done more than any other state
to provide homes for rural teachers.
A considerable percentage of the dis
tricts of that state have erected
teacherages. In the standardizing of
the schools of Colorado, the "su-
perior' school will have a teacher
age.

COLLEGE READY TO
SUPPLY LIBRARIES

Through Its Package Library Sys-
tenn 1t Can Give Much Valu-
able Information.
The question is sometimes asked,
what are package libraries?" They
are just groups of bulletins or
pamphlets on some timely or popular
subject that is of interest to people
generally. All city Libraries find that
the best brief treatment Of topic
is either in current magazines, or in
pamphlets issued by the government
or some live business concern.
The library of the State Agricul-
tural college at Fort Collins has
section for such pamphlets. When
request comes for material on a
topic, we go to our package Libraries
and select the group that best 1ts
the question. If we do not find what
we want, we go to our duplicate
room where we have arranged about
1900 pamphlets and make library
for this particular question.
If you have no library in your
town, why not ask the library OF the
State Agricultural college for help?
If you have a library, and are not
able to get all you need, ask your
librarian to write to us for an inter
library loan.
We have libraries for the farmer
the teacher, the woman in her home,
or the student.-Charlotte A. Baker,
Colorado Agricultural College, Fort
Collins, Colo.
