Dexter Residents
Figure In Floods

Mrs. Martha Morris, Dexter City
and son, Howard Morris, Columbus,
were one step ahead of the floods,
which have been ravaging the states
west of the Mississippi, last week
when they were called to Ottumwa,
Iowa, by the sudden death of Harold
Morris, formerly of Caldwell. \
Mrs Morris stated that it was un-
believable the damage which the
floods had already done and during
most of the time, they were driving
under adverse conditions.
Another son, Chauncey Morris,
formerly of Dexter City and now re-
siding in Mississippi, was unable to
attend funeral services, due to being
isolated by the flood.

A bill placing quail on the game

conservation department to spend
revenue from hunting and fishing
licenses to propagate quails. Statis-

quails were fast disappearing as

ST. PAT NOTE. 1t would be queer
sight to see the sons of Erin parade
with orchids in their apels instead of
shamrocks. Nevertheless, they could
do it and still be good Irishmen. Our
botany editor has turned up the curl
Gus fact that there is a variety of
orchid called O'Brieniannm.
Incidentally, botanists have long
battled over the shamrock with true
Hibernian spirit. One camp claims
that wood d-sorIel is the real shamrock;
another claims white clover is the
plant that the good saint consecrated.
A tip-off is that Dubliners wear the
clover themselves and ship the wood
sorrel to London for St. Patrick's
Day consumption!
