dreds of families from their homes
and these have takea refuge in the

‘‘Tho high water has practically ren
dered homeless every resident from
Mesquite ari>,Eartham south to White
Spur, N. M. All along the road In
the sand hill3 families can be seen
camping with no shelter. The heat
of tho sun in the hills Is intollerable.
Many alfalfa fields are ruined, and
many Mexican families are not only
homeless, but are living on short ra
