Spaulding 21,378 A SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE OF HOME TRADE BOOSTING One of the finest and most success ful examples of home trade boosting is presented by those Texas newspa per publishers who have succeeded in putting across the "Made In Texas" dinner that is to be given in connec tion with the convention of the Na tional Editorial Association which is to be held in New York City this month. The newspapers, of course, were not alone in this example of boosting. The Merchants' Associa tion helped. But in every case of home trade boosting the merchants and the newspapers must co-operate and do where success is attained. These Texas publishers have done for their state that every newspaper publisher should do for his immediate community. No doubt there exists among the above mentioned publish ers a friendly regarding their re spective home towns. They would boost the commercial advantages of their own communities within the state in the same fashion that they are bosting the advantages of their state within the nation. It is such enterprise as this which brings prosperity to publishers and to merchants in their territory. It is a case of each working with the other for the benefit of all concerned. If you want your advertising to in crease, your community and yourself to prosper, boost and keep ererlasting ing at it.—American Press.

Yesterday noon the river gauge showed 27 feet, while today it read 27.5 feet, just 2.4 feet lower than the great flood of the spring, when a maximum of 29.9 feet was reached. In this flood there is without a doubt much more water coming down the stream thain in the spring flood as this time there is no ice to back the flood up, as in the early flood. Never in the history of the Red River valley nor in the traditions of the Indians, had there been such a flood in the Red River during the sum mer months. Oldtimers say they never saw anything like it, as usual ly during the month of July the wa ter is quite low. This gives some idea of the vast amount of water that has fallen in the valley and in the lake regions drained by the stream. Those visiting the lakes say that those bodies of water are about a foot higher than usual. Damage Increases in Cities Not only is the increase in the wa ter head 'adding to the damage al ready done, but the overflowed ground will be under water for some time, and the park grasses will be practical ly ruined where the water is stand ing. There is a heavy sediment of a redish color where the water stands quiet for a time, and this can be es pecially seen on the paved streets in the vicinity of St. John's hospital. Again St. John's hospital has be gun to suffer, although a strenuous effort is being made to limit the dam age as much as possible. The fire engine, which was put on the job Sun day to keep the water out of the base ment of the institution, has been con tinuously at work and has until to day succeeded in keeping the water pumped out so that it cannot back up through the tunnel that carries the steam pipes from the heating plant to the hospital, and the new nurses' home.
