CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-The mid

Much damage has been done III

Streams in Ohio, Indiana, ILL

ice jams develop or heavy rainfall
occurs.
The situation today stood as fol-
lows:
MiSsouri-Poplar Bluff is flooded

seven feet above flood stage. Farms
in the neighborhood of Chillicothe
are partially inundated. Other rivers

Illinois-Illinois river is rising all

pass flood stage at Peoria, Boards

would be disastrous.
Indiana-Streams throughout the
state are reaching flood stage.
Hundreds of acres of farm lands are
inundated in the southern section,
schools in the extreme south being
forced to close because buses were
unable to travel over flooded high
ways.
Ohio--Several streams are out of
their banks. The flood crest is be-
