A New Jersey man has been sent to Jail for stealing a loaf of bread, but think of all the advertising he is ga­ ting out of it Football rules have been changed again, but up to date no Btep has been taken to equip the rooters with Maxim silencers.

Memphis, Tenn.--Thirty persons have been drowned, 30,000 persons are homeless, 2,000 square miles of country are inundated and there has been a financial loss of $10,000,000 as a result of the tvfro weeks' flood In the Mississippi valley. The flood crest, rapidly going south, is leaving behind it a wake of desola­ tion which will cost planters millions 5f dollars and leave thousands home­ less. For fifty miles below Memphis the last owners and renters are still desperately working to hold back the rushing river, but with scant success. From six to ten feet of water floods the fertile St. Francis basin, the source of one-tenth of the entire cot­ ton crop of the world. It will be days before this water will have run off, and days before the riv«f will have lowered to a sufficient depth to allow the planters to rebuild their levees. Interruption of the mail service is the latest problem which confronts both the residents of the valley and the government officials. FYom the Ohio river to the Rocky Mountains, as showing the greatest scope of this rec­ ord flood, the mail service is being carried on through emergency chan­ nels, and in many districts no mail has been received since Tuesday last. J. M. Mastin, superintendent at Omaha, reports the same conditions with Ice gorges in the northwest tribu­ taries, the Loup, Platte and Elkhorn rivers. Short end trains and substitute mail trains are making short connections throughout the valley. In some places pouches of mail are being carried across open places In the trackage by cable from one short end train to an­ other. Postmaster General Hitchcock has Issued instructions to every railway mail superintendent in the valley to use every efTort to keep the mails moving and avoid so far as possible congestion at any junction or big handling point, so that they can be moved quickly when regular traffic is resumed. Cairo, 111.--The Cairo levees were given a severe test With the river standing at 54 feet, the highest stage reached, a severe windstorm set in and dashed the waters with great force against the levee embankments. Heavy rolls were driven with a mighty roar against the stone Wall, striking with great force as to throw the water high In the air. All levees stood the severe strain and when inspected later were found to be substantial and in­ tact. Vandals have been looting houses in the flooded drainage district and Sheriff Fraser has put on a force of deputies with motor boats and skiffs to patrol the territory with instruc­ tions to shoot when neoessary. A number of boats have arrived from the flooded district In Missouri loaded down with refugees and stock which were landed at the hills near Wickliffe, Ky. The boats report much stock still in the district herded on Mount Mounds, which are gradually being submerged and also many peo­ ple living in the attics of their homes. Word from Hickman, Ky., is to the effect that 1,000 refugees reached that place, making 2,500 there all told. Columbus, Ky., reports 800 in that town.

Los Angeles, Cal.--The only man who ever flew across" the American continent, Calbralth Perry Rodgers, was killed hero when his biplane fell 250 feet into the breakers at Long Beach. Rodgers fell from his seat In the machine and his body shot downward ahead of the biplane, striking in the shallow surf. His neck was broken, and he died Instantly. With several thousand peoplo watching him, he ascended for an ex­ hibition flight, taking off at the edge of the beach.

An instant after Rodgers struck the shallow water the machine crashed Into the surf and was reduced to a mass of splintered wreckage and tan­ gled wire, so that the exact cause of the accident may never be known, al­ though it is believed that one of the wire guys broke as he was rising In the air.
