4. s. RELIEVES RUSS
SITUATION MAY CLEAR

WASHINGTON, May lb.-There
were intimations today that admins
tration officials expected early de-
vclopments In Genoa or perhaps lat
or at The Hague which might clarity
the Russian situation sufficiently to
permit American participation In
some international project desigUod
to restore Russia TO productivity.
On what Information that feeling
might be based was not indicated.
II was evident. however, that the
exchange OF cabled notes with the
Genoa conference group yesterday
was regarded as having moved mat
ters at least step forward so far
as Russia Is concerned.
The only authorized statement
| going beyond the terms OF Secretary
| Hughes note declining the invitation
| to The Hague, was that obtained
! during the day at tho white House,
| that the note did not close the door
to future conversations on the sub
| iect. In tho light OF that statement
Mr.. Hughes assertion In tho note
to Genoa of the willingness of the
| United states government "to give
serious attention 10 any proposals
issuing from the Genoa conference
or any later conference" took OF
added significance.
Note Not Ampllficd.
There was no ampliflcat ton Of the
statement In tho note that the Rus

Big Rains and Floods.

Another very hard rain fell here
Tuesday-the fourth big one within ten
days, so we were told by one more OBJ
servant All streams have been bank
full and the most of them flooded. A
number Of the smaller bridges on the
public roads have been washed away.
Rodcau is said to be higher than for
years past. and the old half-mile bridge
across the stream near Bellevue is
floating and has been for some days.
Willow Chute and Red Chute bot
toms and the scope of country lying to
the south are partially flooded. and the
first of the week water was reported
rushing across the gravel road leading
from Bossier City to Red Chute. badly
washing ii in places. The gravel road
leading south from Bossier City to
Ninock was reported flooded for a
three-mile stretch. and impossible. The
roads Of the parish where crossing
alluvial soil are, as a rule, constructed
of considerable heighth, but the big
rains of March got them," sure.
Red River continues to rise and res
idents Of the river bottom have been
warned to protect their property. The
swollen condition of the stream has
halted the revetment. work under way
of construction by the st. Louis South
Western Railway Company four miles
to the south Of Benton (bank protec-
ton work to prevent further caving on
the South Riverside front) and por-
ton of the work has been washed
away-large pilings washed out and
big wire cables snapped in two.
The weather locally has for some
days been fair. 1t is hoped that the
crest of the big rise in Red River may
pass within day or so and that the
probability of an overflow this season
may pass with it.

Little One Passes Away.

On Tuesday afternoon, March p,
1922. at four O'clock, a gloom was cast
over the entire Linton community -
when the spirit Of little Leila Mae
Jones took it's fight to that better
home above. She was seriously III for
Il short time before her death, but bore
her suffering with patience.
The remains were laid at rest the
morning following the little ones
death. interment being in the Pilkin-
ton Cemetery.
Little Leila Mae was four years and
two months old, and Is survived by her
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. J. e. Jones, one
brother and three sisters. Her passing
has left vacancy in their midst that
never can be filled.
Dear ones, your friends deeply SYM
rathize with you in your loss, but your
sweet little one has merely been re-
moved from this life Of toll and strife
to live life Of eternal joy and peace,
and she is now with the angels. Bask-
ing in Heavens sunshine, on the golden
stairs, we can fancy her reckoning us
to come and share that eternal joy.
Weep not, and dry away your tears,
and SO live that when the time comes
for us to follow in her footsteps we
may hear the glad sommon, Well
done, good and faithful servant, enter
in Gods holy name"
We hope to meet little Leila Mae
some sweet day where we win never
more say goodbye, but have everlast-
ing JOY forever and ever.
II cannot say, and will not say that she
Is dead. W
She is just away.
With CHEEKY smile and wave Of the
hand,
She has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be since she Is there. ;"
