FLAMES DESTROY
PELz FARMHOUSE
House owned by Mrs. Peavey,
Landmark, Burned To
Ground Tuesday

Fire of unknown origin destroy
ed the Ben Pelz home, owned by
Mrs. Mary Peavey, west of Red
wood Falls Tuesday afternoon,
burning the landmark completely
with most of the household goods
and threatening the barn and 9TH
er outbuildings nearby.
Only a piano, radio and a few
other articles of furniture were
saved from the flames by the fire
men who were called at about 2:45
p. m.
Mrs. Pelz was hanging out
clothes in the yard with her two
small children near her when she
saw fire and smoke squirting from
the roof. She rushed the children
into the car and drove to the Ed
Wells farm nearby where she tele-
phoned the department and then
drove to a field near the Kohler
farm where her. husband was
picking corn to inform him.
When the department arrived,
the house was too far gone to
save with the small supply Of
water and chemicals on hand, but
members remained until the ruins
were only shoulder to protect
other farm buildings in case the
high wind changed.
The flames evidently started in
the kitchen unseen by Mrs. Pelz
who was working in washroom
in a wing of the building.
Household goods, and, it is be-
lieved, the house were protected
by insurance but none of the fam
ily's clothing or the winters sup
ply of potatoes and canned fruits
and vegetables were saved.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 7 O.N.SO.
Northern and eastern Ohio today
were swept by the worst flood
since the disastrous deluge Of
1918, with the property loss run
ming into millions Of dollars.
Thus far the flood toll included
one man dead at wellington,
struck by lightning, and two chill
dren reported missing at Berlin.
Rivers and their tributaries shot
out of their banks in a score of
northeastern counties as the rain
fall reached as high as 81 inches
during the last IL hours.
Thousands Homeless
Literally thousands Of families
were driven from their homes,
seeking refuge wherever they
could, when whole towns were
covered with water from the rag
ing, rampant streams.
At Massillon, south Of here,
grave fear was felt for the safety
of other thousands as the exces-
Sive rainfall taxed the stability of
a 30-year-old reservoir. A warning
was broadcast to be prepared for
q break in the dam If its burden
increases.
Rushing, Snarling flood waters
inundated the entire town Of Kill
buck as Killbuck Greek leaped be-
yond its banks, spreading deStruc-

Patients were removed from
Smith Hospital at Millersburg,

South of here all highways link

closed to automobile traffic ex-

In places as much as eight feet
of water hid all traces Of the con-

Phone Lines Down
Highway department main
tenance men worked frantically
to protect weakened bridges and
open roads where possible, but
with the waters rising in most
localities they worked against in
superable odds.
Lightning struck barns near
Millersburg, but firemen were
helpless to answer alarms be-
cause of impassability of flooded
roads.
Telephone and telegraph lines
fell before the storm in so many
sections it was impossible to even
estimate the approximate loss Of
lives and property until COM

restored.

BY EARL GOODWIN

It would appear that the New
Deals spending spree Is over.
President Roosevelt today issued
an Executive Order which puts
seven of the Government lending
agencies in something of a strait
jacket as far as administrative ex-
penSeS are concerned.
Also the President indicated at
his press conference that sooner
or later the entire emergency set
up would be required to obtain
approved of the Budget Director
for administrative expenses, with
the traditional curtailment.
The Presidents action is taken
to mean that the heads of the
emergency agencies must recognize
that there is a budget to balance.
and that they must aid in this
balancing as we'll as heads of the
regular Government agencies.
Agencies Affected
The seven agencies affected by
the Presidents executive order
today are the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, Home Owners Loan
Corporation, Federal Savings and
Loan System, Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation, Fed
eral Housing Corporation, Farm
Credit Administration. and the
Federal Farm Mortgage Corpora.

These are the agencies for the
lending of Federal moneys and
the extension of credit which do
not come under the budget and
accounting act of 1921. Now,
however, to all intents and pur-
poses, they are required to obtain
the approval of the budget bu-
reau, just as are other Govern
ment agencies.
Furthermore, these agencies are
not to incur. from and after Sep
TENDER Is of this year, any obi
cations for administrative ex.
penses not approved by the
