Government Has Issued Many Bulletins to Warn People of Disaster
Mississippi River Flood Begun by Heavy Rains in Summer and Fall
of Disaster
Washington, May 11. - The greatest flood in Mississippi river history, now raging, gave the first grim warning of its approach eight months ago.
"The present flood begin late in August when heavy rains run in, raising the waters of one or two rivers in Kansas and Oklahoma," said H. C. Frankenfellow, head of the division of United States Weather Bureau, today.
"In October there was flood in the Arkansas and Neooho rivers with damage of $10,000,000 or perhaps more. Last fish, I saw mud clots on the river bank." The rains drifted eastward, over Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Cumberland, And all this was at a time of the spring when the Mississippi system should have normally been at their lowest level.
"We knew then that if the rains of the coming winter and spring were much above normal, we were going to have a big flood. But we can not forecast rains, and of course, we could calculate the volume of the present torrent.
"Late in December rains swept Tennessee and Kentucky, and the next report was that all records were broken in the Cumberland river and there was a high flood in the Tennessee, and these are the two largest tributaries of the Ohio river. Heavy rain put the Ohio in flood in January, and then the rainstorm became a severe March, very heavy tributary of the Mississippi from the Des Moines southward and eastward was in flood.
“There is no question that the present flood is the greatest that has ever covered the Mississippi,” said Mr. Frankenfield. “The flood of 1923 was the next greatest, and that of 1882 ranks third.”
Flood warnings are sent out from the United States Weather Bureau every day in the year to some part of the United States, sometimes four hours. At other times, up to three hours, Mr. Frankenfield stated. The Mississippi flood waters gather from such distant streams and have been studied so long and carefully that height and speed of the spring flood were known. It may be estimated by ballistics several weeks before it sweeps through Louisiana.

Ministry Gaining as Telling Force, States Dr. Estey
Failure Doom of Those Who Choose Disagreable Work, Opinion of Pastor
"For one to choose a work that does not delight him, is to dooom himself to failure," declared Dr. Stephen S. Estey, D, of the First Presbyterian church of Topaike, speaking in the auditorium in central Administration yesterday evening on "A Minister's Contribution to the World's Work."
According to Doctor Eatesty, to choose a vocation one should consider: First, his own natural ability and inclination, and second, his desire to serve the world's need. In considering the needs of the world he said, "These needs of the world may be divided into three classes, the material and physical needs, the mental needs, and finally the moral needs." In this way, America as a gigantic man, this man has an overfed body, a half-feed mind, and a stunted soul. As such, America is a dangerous factor in the world."
Doctor Estey denied that the ministry was declining as a vital force in the lives of the peoples of the world. He declared, "The preacher is gaining in power to touch the world's heart." He also accused the force deplecié blunt magazines and newspapers. Ministers, as a rule, are not the fools of the community or they would not be asked to address so many cosmopolitan public meetings. They are, as a rule, more widely read men than doctors or lawyers, because these professions are confined by the narrowness of their specialized field."
Speaking of the work of the minister, Doctor Estey said, "The work of the ministers is to direct the thought, engage the mind, and fix the errors" of his community.
"So long as there are great truths, preaching will survive. Every field of endeavor has presachers; men with some truth to proclaim, to get across to the hearts of their fellow men once they have made a dynamo to produce results."
In considering the prerequisites to a minister Doctor Estey declared, "the preacher must understand human emotions, hopes and aspirations."
According to Doctor Estey, the ministry is not an overcrowded field, but rather, it is calling for more workers both here and in foreign fields.
In introducing the speaker, Chancellor E. H. Lindley announced that last night's lecture would conclude the series of vocational lectures that have been given throughout the school year.

Bantford and Major Charles M. Bonetell, were the guests of honor for the two.
Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice president of the University, was the principal speaker of the evening. Doctor Burdick began his speech by telling why he was interested in soldiery, how as a more laid he watched the blue uniformed Union troops leave Boston by sea, and that he had been engaged in an atmosphere of militarism which had instilled in him the militaristic spirit. Doctor Burdick said that the word pacifist had once been a beautiful word, that it had stood for peace loving people but that the word in its modern day meaning had become to mean "those people who are oppressed" or "those people to form." "The modern day pacifist is either ignorant or a traitor to his country," Doctor Burdick said. "If the stars and stripes do not mean enough to us, such that we would lay down our life for it and what it stands if it became necessary to defend our country, even to the last detail of our civilization. Citizens of this country and are not loyal and patriots in the true sense of the word."
