INAUGURAL EVE FINOS COUNTRY IS ON UPGRADE Roosevelt To Be Inaugurated For Second Term Wednesday Washington. Jan. 19.—iU.Rl — “Rain, possibly mixed with sleet or snow,” was the weather forecast today for President Roosevelt's inauguration tomorrow. Washington, Jan. 19. — <U.R> — President Roosevelt's first new deal of reform, recovery and experiment- today is drawing to a dose in an atmosphere of confidence contrasting with the depress ion panic of March 4, 1933. Mr. Roosevelt will be inaugural ed for asecond term at noon to-1 morrow. Vice-President John N. , Garner will be sworn a few minutes earlier as both appear before a throng on the east front of the , capitol. In the three years. 10 months and 15 days of his first administra- ' tiou. Mr. Roosevelt has out-spent i any peace-time predecessor. He has been markedly successful in foreign affairs. He pronounced a death sentence for the public utility holding company system. He provided credit, lowered interest rates, fed the starving, clothed the needy. The new deal sought to codify fair industrial practices, guarantee certain rights to labor, redistribute income through taxation and federeral spending, reform the nation's banking and financial habits, and regulate power prices by setting up a government "yardstick." It began spending $1,000,000,000 a year for national defense. It raised taxes, increasing upper brackets levies on individuals and forcing corporate surplus funds into circulation by tax pressure. Vital new deal policies were nullified by the supreme court. In 1934 and 1936 Mr. Roosevelt was given two unprecedented popular mandates to carry on. Mr. Roosevelt has increased the national debts rom $22,538,660,006 to approximately $35,000,000,000. He has expanded government and promises to expand it further. Under his administration federal revenues have increased from $3,115,500.000 in his first year to $5,828.000,000. estimated, for the current fiscal year. —— nv TWO) FARM MEETINGS HELD IN COUNTY Agricultural Outlook Discussed ; Officers Are Elected Four meetings were held Monday, in which the agricultural outlook for 1937 was discussed.

PITTSBURGHIS AGAIN FLOODED DY HIGH WATER Not Likely To Equal Damage Caused Last Year, However Pittsburgh. Jan. 19.—(U.R) Flood waters from the swollen Allegheny and Mongahelia rivers spilled into Pittsburgh early today. Water covered the Duquesne Way. the street that runs the length of the downtown district along the Allegheny and culminates in the golden triangle where the Allegheny meets the Mongahela and forms the Ohio. This was the scene of the worst damage in last year's disastrous flood. The waters already had entered ■ the basements of a large department store, a theater, several bus- ! iness buildings, and many small I business concerns along Duquesne Way. But stocks and equipment ' had been moved to upper floors yesterday and gasoline pumps were disposing of the water almost as fast as it entered. Early today the river was 2.4 ' feet above flood stage of 25 feet, and the weather bureau predicted that the maximum crest would not lift the stage above 28 feet. This assured the city against any repetition of last year's flood when the stage reached a maximum ■ height of 46 feet. The flood waters covered the street only, but at the 28 foot level I were expected to climb up over the sidewalks and lap at the side of the buildings. Police stood by to evacuate residents of a residential district near the rivers, but it was believed likely that this would not be nec--1 essary. From points along the Monga- ' hela and the Allegheny, weather bureau officials received word that the flood crest had leveled off and I the rivers were now stationary. At Johnstown, scene of a frightful flood last year, the Conemaugh 1 river reached a stage slightly below flood level. At Wheeling, W. Va., the Ohio, swollen by Che Allegheny and the Mongahela. was nearing flood level but every pre--1 caution had been taken to prevent 1 damage.

J. H Armington. U. S. meteorologist at Indianapolis, expected most streams to reach their crest within the next 24 to 36 hours, however. Both the Wabn=h and W’l’ite rivers were falling north of Vincennes a.nd Shoals, respectively, permitting lowland residents who have been forced from their homes to return and begin clearing the debris. Additional families were forced to evacuate in the extreme south, however. Fifty families were moved from Villa Sites and Oakdaje, outlying sections of Evansville. because of the rampaging Ohio river. One of the most serious threats in that sector was along the main White river at Hazelton, where a stage of 29 feet wa,« perilously near the top of the banks and a rise of about two feet more was expected. The east fork of White river had reached 35.6 feet. 15.6 feet over flood stage, at Shoajs and was expected to reach its crest within the next 24 to 36 hours. The stream already was falling a few miles north. Petersburg reported White river had reached 26.9 feet, 10.9 feet over flood stare, and was expected to go one foot higher. The Wabash was stationary at 22.3 feet at Vincennes today and was falling north of there. Further risings along the Wabash to the south were assured however. At Mt.
