RELIEF IS SEEN
At BEARDSTOWN
River Reaches Crest After
New Record.

BIZ United Press
BEARDSTOWN, H., Oct. IA
slight drop in the flood waters of
the Illinois River today gave Boards
town and the surrounding country
hope for early relief.
The river reached its crest Sunday
when it rose to a new flood record
OF 1924 feet.
With the drop today came hope
that all levees that so far have held
under the tremendous strain will
continue to do so.
Church services were held Sunday,
but the congregations were small
because of the lack of boats. Bust
ness remains at a standstill Those
stores that are open are patroniZed
only by those persons who were for
tunate enough to have boats.
Railroads today began to resume
operations and a train of Red Cross
relief workers was expected.
