RESENTS FLEE
TR1-STATE AREA
ME FLOODS
Oklahoma City, Okla., April
18 (U.R) Refugees streamed
out of eastern Oklahoma, south
ern Missouri and northern Ark
ansas today as more rain tell on
the tri-state area where millions
of acres of farmland already are
Inundated by rampaging rivers.
At leapt seven persons were
dead, all q them in Oklahoma
A three-quarter inch rainfall
yesterday added to the flood
swollen rivers in Oklahoma.
The greatest destruction was
caused by the Grand, Arkansas
and North Canadian rivers in
Oklahoma. In the Missouri
Ozarks and northern Arkansas,
Kesp en '

yoisr garden
Br'er Hare, he sat down half
way. Br'cr Tortoise, he kept.go
ing till he crossed the finish line
and showed the world how
to be a winner.
Undo Sam is asking Victory
Gardeners to keep going until
the finish, He is asking it very
seriously. President Roosevelt
himself has issued the call. The
National Victory Garden Insti
tute has warned that a shortage
of garden foods threatens, re
gardless of the situation in
Europe.
They know food prospects
are not so favorable. Farm la
bor is thin. Transport is strain
ed. In key sections of the coun
try, weather has been bad. The
backlog of canned foods is
limited. Prices and blue-point
values tell the story.
But Uncle Sam' peoph
fear most that the Br'cr Hares
will now sit down."Look at the
wonderful war news," they'll
say. "It's all over but the shout
ing!" Then some Br'er Tor
toises may sit down, too.
Desperately they're trying
to make things happen the
other way around. All those
Victory Gardeners who have
stuck with fork and hoe must
keep going. Those who have
given up must turn to Victory
Gardens again. The need is fot
"all possible." Home-growing
and home-canning are as essen
tial to victory as was the bridge
at Rcmagen.
The President and the oth
ers know the problem will Van
ish if only the people realize
despite good military news
that the food situation is still
critical.
Essentially, Uncle Sam is
urging Victory Gardeners to
show the stuff winners are made
of. And that's a compliment.
For what do winners do? They
go the full route! They come
in strong at (he finish!

INNER 10 NAME
If Jackson county Is the first
of the' "Big Ten" in Oregon to
reach Its "E" bond quota in the
coming seventh war loan drive,
the county will be given the
honor of sponsoring the launch
ing of a Kaiser ship according
to a wire received by George
Frey, drive chairman, from the
state committee. The Big Ten is
made up of 10 counties assigned
an "E" quota of more than a
million dollars for the drive.
Frey stated this morning that
while the drive doesn't officially
open until May 14, all "E" bonds
sold during April, May and June
will count. More stress than ever
is being placed on the sale of
the "E" bonds and the county's
quota of this type is much larger
than for any previous drive, the
chairman said, being half of the
total quota of $2,087,000.
"In order to meet this large
quota, county sales must average
more than $340,000 a month,''
Mr. Frey pointed out this morn
ing and he urged the cooperation
of every citizen in the task of
carrying on the drive.
The chairman said that assist
ing him in the drive would be
T. E. Daniels, who would handle
sales in rural districts; W. A
Gates, Grange sales; A. S. Rosen
baum, local solicitation; L. T.
Nygaard, T. E. Hornecker and
Henry Zacherisen, mills; Arthur
Adler, Herb Grey, Moore Hamil
ton and Lee Ryan, publicity.
