Student Campaign for Flood Relief to Begin Monday
Telegram to S. A. Queen
Tells of Urgent Need

The following telegram from William M. Baxter, Jr., region secretary (2001) gives the account of Stuart A. Queen of the department of sociology illustrates the need of help and verifies the accounts of the gravel situation in the flooded area.

Kansas City and Emporia papers of past few days give correct impression except that need is apparently somewhat unclear set related. William M. Baxter, Jr."
Short extracts from some of the newspapers of the state carrying stories of the flood show the conditions as they now exist. From Emporia comes the words "A frantic battle in Neoah Valley in the Neoah valley in Woodson and Allen counties was made today by business man in Neoah Falls." Another Emporia article reads: "Pestilence and hunger threatened tonight to follow in the wake of the destructive floods which have awaken villagers in Algiers and Cottonwood river valleys in eastern Kansas."
Kansas Loss Near $2,500,000
The loss to Kansas is estimated at
$2,500,000. Coffey county suffered
the heaviest with 1 1-2 million

Posters Will Be Displayed
Posters will be printed and displayed on display boards in buildings on the campus. These will contain excerpts from newspapers describing conditions in the flooded areas, and will give appeals for aid from the university.
