POSEY COUNTY
FARMERS FLEE
FLOOD WATERS
Scores OF Families in Ohio,
Wabash River LoWIandS
Forced to Move.
CROP DAMAGE MOUNTS
Showers Forecast Tonight
Expected to Boost
Heavy Losses.

Scores Of families living IN the
Ohio and Wabash River lowlands in
Posey County today fed to higher
ground when forecasts indicated
that thousands OF acres in the re-
gion soon will be under flood waters.
Growers in the district estimated
that crop losses. already high IN
other parts OF the state that have
experienced the flood crest first. will
be greatly increased when the water
strikes this area.
Already the food has been re-
spousible for thousands OF dollars
loss to growers IN fertile Knox and
Daviess Counties. and showers fore
cast for tonight will increase these
losses. even If only to further de-
lay corn planting, now regarded as
seriously late.
II no rain falls. the water will
slowly recede and the flood will pass
into the Ohio river. leaving crop
damage as its most notable accom-
plishment.
is receding. although between %
and so farm families south Of the
CITY still are isolated by flooded
highways.
Fruit. Melon Crops Aided
The situation at Vincennes. where
there has been heavy crop damage,
especially 10 winter wheat. remained
the same today as yesterday, with
the water at about the same threat
eninC level.
Growers saw ray Of hope today
in the belief. that the fruit and
melon crops would be greatly i'm
proved
Knox County grows nearly one
fourth Of the states peaches. and
Knox and Daviess together grow a
good portion OF the states apples
and tomatoes. all among the crops
that will benefit by the rain.
For the first time in years. lum-
bermen used the swollen White
River to float logs from the timber
lands to a mill. Curious crowds
gathered to watch the performance.
Flood Threat Here Less
The hay crop will be damaged
UNNECESSARILY. both because of the
current inundation and because of
the silt that will be left by the flood
waters to stifle it. Where no silt Is
left. only the first growth of alfalfa
will be lost.
At Decker. the river was unof-
ficially reported to be at l6S feet
and II was predicted it would rise to
Is feet.
Iowland farmers still guarded
their farm machinery on high places
to which they removed it, and many
were only awaiting another con-
tributing rain 10 be forced to
abandon their homes.
The northern part of Knox Coun-
ty was reported to be considerably
damaged by erosion. but other parts
we're protected by levees.

EXPENSIVE CANDY

Ever since the national Democratic re-
gime began political philosophy has been
developing that not only invites the people,
but urges them to get their noses in the pub
lie trough on the theory that some one owes
them living. For the present it seems to
have become good policies to give the people
about five cents worth of political candy for
about ten cents in taxes. Some people are
still ignorant of the fact that they are really
paying for the candy plus about 100 percent
additional for political overhead to handle it.
AS long as they remain ignorant of the real
facts they clap their hands and cry for
more. There are signs that lot of people
are waking up. Maybe getting a slight
stomach ache from too much expensive can
dy. They are beginning to ask questions.
Trouble is ahead for some politicians.

know what is the cause of the action? Do
you really believe that the Highlanders are

think the two districts should be under one

has anything to do with the present suit? Do
you know any thing about the present status

CROOKED PATHS

A beaten path across hillside or thru
wood rarely runs straight 1t turns aside
for obstacles, makes concessions to uneven
ground and the rise and fall of the slope or
turns aside for the vantage of view or bet
ter vision of the destination. Yet it was
first made by the feet of men who were
chiefly concerned to get through directly
and quickly.
Most of the highways of life run like
wise crooked curving and twisting constant
" from the straight path Of intention. Lit
tie things block the trail and it is easier to
avoid them than to remove or surmount
them. Tempting paths of easy going are
offered on either side. Sometimes the
straight trail is lost beyond recovery; often
it is won again only after much time wasted
in wandering.
Most of us start out in confidence and
determination toward chosen goal. We hold
fast to our course so long as good intention
is fresh; we lose it when the distractions OF
the way steal our eyes from the goal ahead.
This is the most tragic wastage in the world,
whereby our high hopes go for nothing and
human strength and talent are lost to the
service of mankind Such wastage is avoid
ed by looking for guidance both backward
and forward-back to the zeal of the begin
ming and forward to the hope of the end.

We read of threat by Poo Bah Ickes to
withdraw $45,OOO,OOO of PWA funds needed
to complete the gigantic Tri-Borough bridge
which New York is building supposedly
with government aid-because of criticisms
directed at the administration by Brown Der
by Al Smith. Sounds childish. But par
allel has been experienced right here in Ken
newick. Urged by PWA officials, the city
entered into an agreement with the state to
issue bonds for street improvement, with
the understanding that it's funds would be
matched. So far every effort to obtain the
relief funds has met with failure. The job
undertaken is too great to be finished with
the money raised locally and the city has
been put to extra expense while waiting for
the relief agencies to pass the buck to some
one down the line.

LAST CHANCE

This state has reputation for passing
the "nuttiest" laws of any state in the union
with the exception of Kansas. Laws which
throttle business, which play one class
against another, which gives one group an
advantage over another. or which have a
tendency to drive industry out Of the state
cannot but react to the detriment of the
commonwealth.
The present session, acknowledged to
be the "craziest" of all, in it's Wild-eyed eff

with fool barnacles of useless bureaus, COM
missions and boards, has passed a revenue

ands of citizens who are attempting to Wrest

POWER OF SUGGESTION

This has been characterized as the age
of tolerance federation implies an open
mind, the absence Of blind bigotry, possess
ion Of the power to reason, and a willingness
to hear both sides to every question before
forming ones own conclusions. 1t follows,
therefore, that modern society, being more
tolerant of the opinions and manners of 9TH
ers, should be more open to suggestion. It
is probably fact that the great mass of
Americans was never before more subject so
to suggestion.
Everybody has heard Of the power of
suggestion and everybody has seen it dem
onstrated through the medium of political
reform advertising and slang catchphrases.
A specious slogan can win acclaim for a
creed or cause previously universally re-
jected and obviously fallacious. Than the
catch-phrase there is no more effective cam
outage for the spurious.
Suggestion plays a most important part
in business. Advertising, show windows and
show cases owe their origin and usefulness
to the power of suggestion. Contrary to a
popular impression, the merchant advertises
and displays his wares to create a desire for
possession among those who see them and it
is through suggestion that the desire is
created.
