An American Egypt Drought

Little Egypt Is . district in southern Illinois. Little
Egypt Is as dry and as scorched as the Sahara III
Asia A correspondent Of one OF the great news gath
erng agencies tells the story: 1T is an emergency
period for southern Illinois. Observers have called
this the worst water famine in so years. Crops have
been in danger and cities have turned to raticning
what little water remains in their reservoirs. The
unusually warm weather Of normally frigid months,
together with lack OF snow and rainfall has dried up
streams and wells throughout Little Egypt making il
necessary for many communities to prospect for new
sources Of supply. AS In semi-arid reaches Of the
west many farmers have been forced TO lead their
stock many miles to water. IN more than 90 commu-
mites, ranging from important county seats down, the
water supply can last only a few months more"
Over in North Carolina forest fires ragged in the
mountain districts until light rains brought the fires
under control. There are hundreds OF jobless In the
mountains Of North Carolina as well as In the indus
trial centers. There are droughts in many places IN
the Midwest. There are hungry people in many
places. Away down here In Texas San Antonio bask-
ed Sunday In the warmest day OF the year. In North
west Texas rivers and creeks and lakes were out Of
their banks. A hot gulf wind at E%dinburg, in Hidalgo
county. raised the temperature IN the Rio Grande
Valley to 80 during the day. Farmers already are
unable TO harvest cabbage as their fields have been
flooded for the last two weeks by incessant rains.
A breezy norther Sunday. hit North Texas coun-
ties including the black land regions and cold rains
gave the spring flowers an ICY shower bath. Oklaho-
ma was more fortunate than some sections. Vir-
tua1y every section OF the commonwealth received
~relef from a winter drought by soaking rains which
began Saturday night and continued until Sunday
night.
Sen. Joseph Taylor Robinson Of Arkansas and Sen.
William z. Borah Of Idaho. aided by their democratic
and republican progressive followers. have made It
possible for s2oOoo0Oo to'be placed at the disposal Of
farmers who need food for their families as well as
feed for their livestock. This is a prediction: Borah
and Robinson. two American statesmen OF the period.
will live In history when many Of the mighty OF to-
day are forgotten. In the hearts Of many millions Of
american men and women their deeds will be kept
green and their interest In the cause Of suffering hui
mainly will ever be remembered.

Prosperity follows depression. Rain follows the
drought. Many valuable lessons will be taught the
American people by the Affections which have fallen
upon them In sections In the recent past. Perhaps
many OF them needed valuable lessons. Nature has
her own program. She sent the greatest snowfall Of
