FLOOD CONTROL
is PROBLEM OF
U. S., REED SAYS
Program Should Go For
ward Without Delay, Sen
ator Tells Conference.

BIZ United Press
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14.-Control of
the Mississippi and its tributaries
is a duty of the Government, re-
gardless of expense and without
further delay, Senator Reed of Mis-
souri, declared today in an address
before the Mississippi Valley Asso-
citation.
The flood control program un-
doubtedly would include two devel-
opments, he asserted, and construc-
ton of spillways and outlets for re-
lease of waters of the lower Missis-
sippi, and the impounding of waters
for irrigation of the North and
Northwest.
Complete development Of the pro-
gram. must be left to engineers,
Reed said, adding:
New England Needs Aid
"The work on the lower Missis-
sippi should begin at once, and in
connection with it some form of re-
lief should be given to the sufferers
of that vast section. Perhaps it
will be found necessary to rem
der aid to the afflicted who have
recently suffered by the devastating
storms Of the East.
"The entire scheme of river de-
velopment will, of course, in the end
transform these streams into great
arteries Of commerce, but again
work Of development for navigation
purposes cannot be delayed until the
entire plan has been worked out"
Davis Wants No Politics
Asserting that flood prevention,
power conservation and navigation
are inter-related and inter-depen-
dent, Reed said the possibilities for
transportation on the Mississippi
and its tributaries have not been
touched. Transportation on the
Mississippi, started during the war
under almost every conceivable diff
ficulty," was said by the senator to
have grown 1,044,69 tons in 1926.
A plea to keep the waters of the
Mississippi in its banks and out of
politics" was made by Secretary of
War Dwight F. Davis.
"The entire valley" Davis said,
must push the flood control and in
land waterway plan finally worked
out by the Congressional committees
if there is to be the slightest hope of
success"
Levees Called Backbone
The Secretary of War recognized
flood control "as a national prob
lem"
Levees must be the backbone OF
any plan for flood protection in the
Mississippi valley because more pro-
lection for the same amount of
money can be obtained by this
method than by any other, he said.
But leyees alone cannot be de-
pended upon to solve the entire
problem under the new conditions
which have arisen" he concluded.

he started his attack upon my peo-

A Novel Experience

Chas. l.. Leighton, district manager
for the Arkansas Missouri Power Com
pany, had an interesting experience
with the high waters last Friday night,
although it failed to be amusing to Mr..
Leighton. He had started north with
James Favor, local manager at POca-
hontas, and reached a bridge over a
ditch in Fourche bottoms near Poluca.
Mr. Leighton didn't see the bridge as
it was under water. As he drove on
the structure he felt the cold waters of
Fourche river trickling over his SHOES
and in few minutes the old motor
coughed supttered a few times and
quit Messrs. Leighton and Favor
closed the doors of the car, waded
to the railroad tracks, also under
water, and then picked up speed until
they got in sight of the reassuring hills
of Pocahontas. The car was still there

Cy Adams Says:

When have you visited your school!
Do you know what the children are
studying? You are paying for your
children's education. If they do not
get it, who is at fault?
Past experience shows that small
cotton crop brings more money than
a large crop.
Are all the smart people moving
to town. is the headline in a farm
journal. Maybe so. maybe not.
In 1925 Arkansas had a corn short
age Of 13,G73,O74 bushels, a hay short
age of 1,479,SO9 tons, and a pasture
shortage of 100000 acres based on the
number of livestock then in the STATE
If 25 per cent Of this years cotton
acreage is put in corn, hay, and pas
turage in 1927, there will still be
shortage of feed.

This is a remarkable statement for

is said to keep track of business con.
ditiOns throughout the country; Mr.
Babson, who in other articles has told
Of the deplorable condition Of the tex

Mr.. Babson, who has given consider

Mr.. Babson knows, or he should
know, that we are in the midst of q

this administration are under the com

the Garys and the Morgans. He knows
this and every other business man in

tell his readers that these other husi-
ness men are sick of the reign Of the
aluminium, steel and international
banking interests?
Why. doesn't he tell his readers that
as long as these men and these inter
ests hold the power they do, that the
average business man and the average
citizen have the cards all stacled
against them.
These are facts that Mr.. Babso1s
readers ought to know.

have plenty of feed to carry their stock

ed their attention to dairying, hogs
and poultry. In the bottom country
where too much cotton was raised, the
result is just the opposite. Not more
than one out of five farmers can make

landlords or banks, and many Of them

Probably modern civilization might
be criticized on the point that too much
emphasis has been placed on saving
time
vented, women complained that it
would deprive them of pleasant occu-
patton, that 1t would leave them moth
ing to do in their idle hours. They
were not so foolish as they have been
made to appear.
Invention has freed so many from
time-consuming occupations that the
constructive use of idle time is now a
real problem for millions Of people.
They are bored with the leisure they
have gained. They take up innumer-
able ill-advised philanthropies and
social uplifts, the net effects of which
are often positively harmful
Frequently Il high price is paid FOR
saving time which has no value after
it is saved. The price of a passage on
a fast ocean liner is much greater than
the fare on slower ship. If the fast
vessel saves four days in crossing thC
Atlantic the charge for each day saved
win be $50 perhaps. To men and wo
men engaged in international trade
this may be a low price to pay for
day saved, but only a few pleasure
bent travellers can justify the expen
diture.
Many methods and devices are rea
time-savers, of course, but our objec
tion to them Is that they save tim'
that was formerly agreeably occupied
far more agreeably occupied than an!
entertainment that can be devised t
take their place. A further TRACED!
lies in this that the filling of leisur
/. time with artificial entertainment /
) exceedingly expensive and beyond tb
, reach of most people. Thus we haN
