NO. 3G plattemoutb Mr O 1 S F Br SI 1 Heavy Rains Menace Flooded Areas in State Storms of Sunday in Southeastern Nebraska Cause Fear of More High Waters. From Monday's Da!ly Heavy rains that swept over the entire southeastern part of Nebraska Sunday have added to the danger that is threatening the sections or Nemaha and Richardson counties and parts of northern Kansas and west- rn Iowa. The small creeks and rivers that have been flooding since Friday, receded some by Saturday night but were again at flood state late Sunday. The rain, while heavy in this part of Cass county did not materially damage beyond the fact that the ex trt me wet weather has checked the faim work a great deal. Meanwhile damage estimates be gan to be made. From Falls City came a report that Richardson coun ty's loss was around one hundred thousand dollars, in crops, bridges and highways. Crop and road damage was simi lar in Nemaha county. Losses of similar kind occured in spots in Kan sas and in a half dozen in Missouri, indicating that total loss might run close to a half minion dollars. Making Rail Repairs. The highway west of the river was impassable Sunday night between Falls City. Neb., and Leavenworth, Kan., though travel was possible elsewhere. Trains on the Missouri Pacific were proceeding slowly on their own rails, after temporary re pairs at Auburn , where washouts had occurred Saturday, a passenger locomotive plunging into a creek. The Burlington expected to have temporary repairs made by early Monday on its Omaha-Kansas City line, washed out in places near Nap ier, Mo., opposite Falls City, and further down. Th Sunday Etonrt covered once more the areas already beseiged by the waters of the Missouri river tributaries. Water ran curb deep in Falls City frm the rain Sunday evening, which began about 6 p. m. The Nemaha river nearby was three-fourths of a mile wide and out of its banks for eight miles, though it had dropped two feet. Other streams were still out of their banks. Fear Further Inundations. Crop loss in Richardson county was set at 25 thousand dollars in an unofficial estimate Sunday, with bridge loss 60 thousand and highway damage 15 thousand. Much corn in the flood area is to be abandoned, nearly half of the acreage being reported lost in Ne maha county. Streams near Maryville, Mo., were still rising slowly Sunday, it was re ported, when the new storm broke. Fear for further inundations of farm lands was felt there and elsewhere in northwest Missouri. The body of Cecil Vader, 16, drowned at Falls City Saturday, has not been reeoered, and is believed to have been swept into the Mis souri river. MANY ATTEND THE PARMELE From Monday's ra!lv Last evening the Parmele theatre presented the first of their sound pic tures.

Davis Says Alumni Must Help Educate Declares Graduates Charged With Aiding Students Urges Keep Abreast of the Times. "Responsibility of the Alumnus" was the theme stressed by Searl S. Davis, '09, Plattsmouth, speaker of the day at the annual alumni lunch eon at the agricultural college Sat urday afternoon. "The alumni are charged," said the speaker, "with the education of the students of the future. In order to best discharge this responsibility they must keep abreast of the times. They should not consider wealth or recognition by the public as the mark of success but rather the conscious ness of having done their best. "It is not the students but the faculty who make the college." con tinued Mr. Davis. "The college is made by those particular members of the faculty who inspire the students to become courageous, law abiding and upright." Mr. Davis went on to say that it should not be necessary for students to be compelled to obey laws since they ought to be of the type to obey them voluntarily, otherwise they will have no chance for success in life. Prefacing his speech, the alumnus recounted a few of the activities of the class of '09 and read a list of the members who had attained prom inent positions in life. He told how the fountain presented by the class to its alma mater was constructed of stones brought back by participants in a senior 6kip day picnic at Mil ford. Mr. Davis praised the work of many of the tactulty mentioning among others, Dr. F. M. Fling, Chancellor Burnett, then a dean, Professor Fossler, and the late Mrs. Raymond, who though not a member of the faculty, was prominent in uni versity work. The gathering, limited to 350 by inclement weather, responded very readily to the Nebraska songs that were suggested. The tables in the luncheon room were enhanced by bouquets of mingled iris and peon ies. A maroon strip lettered in gold streched the length of the table re served for the honor class of '09 whose members bad favors in the same color combination.
