The waters rose quicker titan 1 at any time in the last several years. One example of how fast and high the waters advanced can be seen at the creek just south of the Decatur, country club. Westerday afternoon, golfers were playing on the course, and the creek was within its natural banks. This morning, the fields on both sides of the road are flooded. The St. Marys and Wabash rivers are out. of their banks, and several roads in the south pait of the county, are almost iinpa.-sable because of water today as a result of the heavy down-pour, many of the principal streets of that city being completely under water. The low lands near Geneva along the Wabash river are completely under water and the flood waters had extended across several roads. Cooler weather on the forecast for today and tonight is expected to stop the rain and cause the waters to recede. o Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Selking of Root township, were shoppers here today. CORNS Instant Relief Dr. Scholl’s Zino-pads stop all pain quicker than any other known method. Takes but a minute to quiet the worst com. Healing starts at once. When the com is gone it never comes back. If new shoes make the spot “touchy” again, a Zino-pad stops it instantly. That’s because Zino-pads remove the cause—pressing and rubbing of shoes. Dr. Scholl's Zino-pads arc medicated, antiseptic, protective. At all druggist a and shoe dealer's—3sc. Dr Scholl's Zino-pads Put one on—the pain is gone!
