A Call from the Great Out-of-Doors Whether you take your pleasure In “glad” apparel or in the gifts of nature, you’ll respond to the appeal of the
Ayres news of today.
One paragraph has to do with women’s sports apparel, another with rose bushes and shrubs and, by the way, we present a few hybrid perpetual roses this week which we do not hope to have again this year. Another item has to do with a new game—“Loony.” Altogether, it is a joyful advertisement—a sort of rain's-ended-let’s-rejoice kind of bulletin. Turn to it now—Page 9

fSpwsaJ to Th» Indianapolis N-wsl ) TERRE HAUTE. Ind.. April 22. - : The Wabash river rose two feet here during the last twenty-four hours, [and at 7 a. m. today had reached 120.4 feet. It has risen an average of two feet every twenty-four hours for the last three days. It is expected that the crest will be reached here Friday night, with the probability of a stage of twentytferee feet, the highest for three
years.
The water has inundated the lowest parts of Taylorsville, a Terre Haute suburb over the river, and many families have been compelled to move. If a twenty-three foot stage is reached, the water will cover the greater part of the suburb. The levee which protects the northweatern part of the city broke last night at Maple avenue, and many bouses in Swaffordsvllle. a suburb, were flooded and the occupants compelled to move with their household
goods-
Moch wheat and oats have been deetroyed by the rise in the river, and although not much ground had been broken for corn, work in the corn
fields will be delayed.
Danger is past at wabash. Famlllee Prepare te Relent te Hemes a* River Fall*—Rail Dame*?. iSpeoal to The Indianapolis Xewsl WABASH. Ind., April 22.—With the cessation of storms yesterday, flood danger in Wabash passed, and nearly a hundred families, forced to leave their homes, are preparing to return with the first decided fall of the Wa-
bash river.
The Wabash rose slowly yesterday
morning, but late in the afternoon started falling. Reports from points east of here are that the rivers and
streams are failing gradually. The tracks of the Ft. Wayne A
Northern Indiana Traction line are under two feet of water for more than two miles, and officials of the company said it was doubtful whether service could be resumed until Sunday or Monday, as considerable ballast will have to be replaced wAhen
the water recedes.

tonight.
