stone, ball fashion. one to another.
The same stone now lies In the yard

toss about to each other.
Today it will weigh about 300
pounds and lies near the spot where 1t

Ideas about army life that persua-

Freedom from annoyance while in

Of an enlistment is that you amt all

"You get respect for law in the

because "the Constitution says Amer

able rights"
Another boy in Illinois wishes teach

Still Rising Flooded Farmers
Have Practically Given Up.
Red Cross Sends Seed.

Moreauville, La.-With a or rise
per "a hours for the last three days
in both Bayou des CLASSES and back
water, little land is left uncovered
In that section and at Moreaville
proper on the north or unprotected
side of the bayou. From this point to
Simmesport fully 10000 acres OF cul-
tivatable lands are under water and
fully 500 families in distress. This
amount comprise fully threefourths
the population of Bayou des CLASSES.
The rural mail delivery, school trans
fer and general traffic have been
stopped.
There is still an ascending current
In the bayou and the seepage water
shows up considerably on the pro-
tected side of des CLASSES from Voor-
HES to Bordelonyille and to SHINES
port, rendering the use OF the road
almost impossible in some places. AT
Simmesport, it is reported that there
is a defect In the levees The point
were this is more noticeable is at the
junction of the des CLASSES and Atcha-
faIaya levees. The water seeps
through considerably and with con
tinued rising river and with inclement
weather great fears are being enter
tanned for break there.
With their farms under water and a
continual rise, with the river still ris-
ing, indicating a strong pressure OF
water from above, with an advanced
season, the flooded farmers have prac-
tically thrown up the sponge" and
are unable to make any further ad-
vanoes of supplies.
The Red Cross Society has literally
provided seeds and foodstuffs to the
Inundated farmers. but it is feared lit
tie Of that will be applied since SO lit
tie replanting is expected to be done.
