RIVER LOWEST IN
YEARS; FOOD FISH
DIE IN MYRLADS

The Mississippi river is at it's low
est stage in it's history, at least as far
back as records go. Forty years OF
records kept by the signal corps and
the United States weather bureau re-
veal that the river is almost foot
lower than ever before The water is
1.25 feet below the zero" on the
water gauge Low water began early
this year. 1t is believed increased
drainage on the upper river is partly
responsible for the low stage now.
With the Mississippi river the low
est it has been in 46 years millions of
food fish are condemned to die accord
ing to fishermen and river men. The
ponds where the fish are imprisoned
are shallow and too full of vegetation
to permit seining.

force Objectionable and indecent
plays off the stages of New York

At his request, the social service

with the moral law which stands
above all man-made law.
Too many laws and too little indi-
vidual responsibility lie at the bot
tom of our national trouble. AS we
pile on law after law, national, state
and local, personal responsibility
grows weaker and weaker.
AS it stands no one knows all the
law. We each select the particular
group of laws we want to abide by
and neglect the rest The whole
system is chaotic and anarchistic.
The legislatures of the country are
largely to blame.
Underneath all this immense struc-
ture of American man-made Law lies
the moral law propounded by God
Himself. It's terse and simple rules
are craven on every human heart. No
man may fiout these and live.

It is understood that President
Coolidge does not favor "a soldiers
bonus. His opinion will be popular
in the country. The time to vote
bonus was when the war closed like
wisconsin did At that time it would
have been popular and fair. Now Tor
people in Wisconsin and Minnesota
and a few other states who voted
bonuses to pay their share toward
national bonus would mean paying
the bonus twice, and times are getting
harder and harder and while the
people would like to see the soldiers
get a bonus they wonder where the
money will come from. 1t is certain
we do not want to see the public debt
any larger than it is. McAdoo's plan
to bond the country for fifty years IS
neither generous nor statesmanlike.
It would PIT burden on millions yet
unborn. The fact is that we FOOLISH
w threw away and wasted enough
money during the war to pay three or
four bonuses and haven't anytnns
left now to pay bonus with. It's
