HUNDREDS PERISH IN COLORADO FLOOD Cloudburst Sends Two Rivers Surging Over Banks at Pueblo. Pueblo, Colo. — Several hundred dead, 5000 homeless and a property loss of $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 re- suited from a disastrous flood which submerged the city of Pueblo folow- ing a cloudburst on the upper reaches of the Arkansas and Fountain rivers. The storm was scarcely felt in Pueblo, but a short time after it broke water was running in the streets and | fragile frame buildings crumpled and went down in the flood. Hundreds saved themselves by clinging to wreck- age until carried by the current to places of safety. The flood swept into the city proper about 10 o'clock in the evening. Police and guards drove the crowds back from the main bridges where they had taken refuge. In half an hour water was pouring cver the top of the rail- ings of bridges and the main business section was inundated. Street cars stopped, electric lights went off. in the darkness could be heard the roar of the onrushing waters and the crash of falling buildings. A rain was falling to add tc the discomfiture. Here and there with the flashes of light ning spectators could see small houses floating. Over in the railroad yards passenger coaches and other car equip ment lay overturned. And out of the night came the cries of stricken wo- men and chiidren appealing for help. Warnings Not Heeded. The great loss of life was directly traceable to failure of the people to | obey warnings issued. Before 10 o'clock |} it was learned the Arkansas and Foun- tain rivers were bearing a great flood toward the city A general warning was issued, but only a few of the fam- ilies in the danger zone could be in- duced to leave their homes. They be- lieved they would escape by going to | second floors or the roof. This was When the flood came | escape was cut off and they went to death when the fragile buildings were swept away It was virtually impossible to esti- mate accurately the number of dead Scores of dead were discovered in wrecked buildings, where their recov- ery was impossible because of the mass of mud and debris. The force of the flood carried en- tire buildings down the stream and it was believed many of the dead were carried far down the river and may never be recovered ; DOlsease Added to Fiood Horrors. their doom Approximately 100 bodies have been | recovered, according to figures avail able at the headquarters of the Red Cross medical relief in the courthouse The entire city was under martial law. One hundred and fifty troops were patroling the city with orders that all persons were to be kept out of the restricted district and to shoot if necessary Five hundred persons were in tem- porary hospitals as a direct result of | the flood, ording to J. L. Moore- head, secretary cf the governor. Cases of typhoid, pneumonia, diph- theria and one or two cases of in- sanity have been found COLORAUU T1UWNS FLOODED Many Homes Are Swept Away and Hundreds of Cattle Drowned. Denver, Colo.—From all over that }| part of Colorado lying east of the Rocky mountains messages have come telling of the terrible havoc wrought by floods following cloudbursts last Friday afternoon and night. At Frederick, Colo, three feet of water in the main street was reported; at Greeley, Fort Collins and Loveland all wires were down and the towns are without electric power as the result of the flooding of the power plant at Loveland. Between Denver and Boul- der a large area of farm land was inundated and the damage was esti- mated at $106,000 Houses were swept away at Lafay ette and hundreds of head of live stock were drowned when Coal creek went over its banks. From all over the stricken area came reports of homes washed away, people by the hundreds fleeing to high lands, thousands of head of livestock frowned and millions of dollars dam- ige done to crops and property. Sonin-Law of Senator Convicted. Fergus Falls, Minn —Anders Gustaf Nelson, son-in-law of Senator Kaoute Nelson, charged with shooting to death Joseph Middleton, a farmband, ip March, 1920, was found guilty of man- slatighter in the first degree by a jury. The defense probably will appeal.

ADVICE ON PLANTING TREES Bulletin issued by the American For- estry Association Will Be Found to Be of Value. The American Forestry association Washington, has issued a bulletin en- Utled, “The Tree—The Memorial That Lives,” written by Charles Pack, president of the assoclation, in which are set forth instructions as to the se- lection of the best kinds of trees, how to secure them, prepare them, plant and care for them, and he adds a pro- gram for the ceremony of planting. This bulletin may be had for the ask- ing. And, says Mr. Pack: “This matter of the planting and the care of trees can be readily promoted by anyone. There are a few funda- How to Set Out Tree, mental principles underlying the vari- | ous simple operations. But the entire affair is mostly a matter of the exer- cise of common sense. Fortunately, the majority of us can lay claim to a fair share of this quality, There are certain conditions which are met and known requirements of tree-growth that are satisfied. By a little attention to the features of tree-planting and care, anyone may make a success of tree-planting operations and, further- more, may care intelligently for trees after they have been planted.” GOOD MOTTO FOR ANY TOWN Excellent Spirit Shown In the Slogan “Get It Done,” Recently Adopted by Kansas City. The “get-it-done” campaign ts pro- ducing an important by-product. It is speeding up business In Kansas City. The phrase sticks and makes ap impression, Employee as well as employer is affected by it more or less unconsciously. Little business matters are being at- tended to today that before were being put off till tomorrow. Loose ends around the store or office or factory that were allowed to accumulate are now being cleaned up. In a thousand places the effect of the advertising of these three words is showing Itself, If the thing keeps on, Kansas City will get a reputation not merely for getting things done for the municipal- ity, but for putting a new sort of en- ergy in its ordinary business affairs, “Get it done !"—Kansas City Star. Improving Rural Housing. The country life problem as a whole cannot make consistent headway in humanizing and socializing farm life, so long as the work elements of farm- ing smother the farm home. That farm people get accustomed to the proximity of ever-present occupational things and processes, means only that hardening invades the precincts of the farm mind and soul as It invades the farm house. A rural housing social conscience will probably at no distant day transfigure living on the farm and give rural America an alr of architec- tural grace and land-art beauty.— Department of Agriculture Bulletin. Walnut Has Many Advantages. Walnut is a good along highways, because it grows its branches high, which lets In the sun and allows the rapid drying out of the road. It ts immune to fungous dis- eases, and, with the exception of one or two caterpillars, insects will leave It alone. On account of its pecullar taste horses and other animals will not nib- ble these trees; so, taking ft all around, the walnut seems to be our best tree for replanting. Advice for Tree Prunes. Any branch which must be taken from a tree should be cut as close as possible to the trunk, and In the case of large branches make the cut first about two feet from the trunk, to take care of the splitting of the bark and then make the final cut. Paint all cuts with a suitable preservative. A very good one is pure white lead, raw lin- geed oll] and lampblack, mixed stiff enough so it will not run.
