churches in the city are giving their
help toward feeding the unfortunate flood victims and all received typoid serum this morning in an effort to out down sickness among their numbers. Monon train number 6 Is scheduled to arrive at Greeneastle at approximately 2:27 p. m., and an emergency tiuin, made up mostly of box cars was reported to have left the flood district at 11 o’clock this morning, However, it is believed that th2 towns south of Greeneastle will absorb most of the passengers on that train. Nineteen people were brought to Greeneastle on Monon train number 4 which arrived here at 6 p. m. Monday, and several more came on the early morning train. Most of these people, however, went on to further destinations, Greeneastle being natural clearing house for those desiring to go to Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and other localities to the east and west of the Monon route. Fraternity and sorority houses on the DePauw campus are doing their part toward relieving the housing situation in the city and the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity has also lent its club rooms as a temporai-y home for refugees.
The American Legion post workers at Fillmore, had splendid success in their campaign to secure supplies for relief sufferers. They used the telephone over all of their area, and the materials and articles they requested came In with gratifying promptness.
RUSSELLVILLE HELPING Frank Gardner, trustee of Russell township, brought word that the people of Russellville, especially the church organizations, had made provisions to care for seventy refugees.
