 The real forest Is hardly still .ex- cept in the Indian summer ! thent there Is death in the forests and fields. and all nature is waiting for the sharp shrunken months to come with white blankets for the summers burial. There is crimson on the leaf, And on the apples check; The partridge berry and the ash Are scarlet stained and sleek; And through the evening still and

 With bright autumnal coiors brave, The sun-torch glitters to the wave, Of Indian maize.
 There's adventure in the woods ! And romance on the roads;
 No hill that lifts it's hay crest But beckons and beguiles;
 For Indian summer lights once more Her burning challenge to explore The golden wilds with fruited vines Along the roads before.

KENNETH, Mo. June 16.--Almost
sainly fighting to keep back the stead
lily rising waters of the ST. Francis
River, more than 1900 farmers, busi-
ness and professional men battled on
tonight in desperate effort to save the
remainder OF their crops and homes
from floods.
The workers were leaving nothing
unturned in their unceasing toll to
strengthen the weakened spots along a
25-mile front to the north of here after
the 150-foot break which occurred early
today, inundating more than $4,000
acres OF land and driving hundreds of
families from their homes Ample
warning was given those In the area
flooded.
AT several points near Campbell to
the north of here, the task of keeping
the river back seemed hopeless this
afternoon, with the dykes weakened by
seepage. 1t is believed by some that
the crest of the third rise, which was
expected to exceed the flood stage of
last night by foot and half, would
appear tonight or tomorrow
1t Is the opinion of the workers that
should the crest be reached tonight
nothing would keep the waters from
breaking through to flood $4,000 addi-
tional acres of land.

fshed here today as plans went under

homes.
