Paying the Penalty

ture herself is concerned, the fact Is
too apparent that the suffering people
are just paying terrible penalty for
their disregard Of natures laws.
Nature provided the safeguards TO
protect her children from the ravages
of floods. She prodigally covered the
hills and the mountains with trees.
and she selected and established the
natural reservoirs and impounding
points for the rapidly moving water.
Nature so arranged her scheme that
all her children had TO do to be safe,
80 far as actual life Is concerned, was
to follow her plans. obey her laws,
and respect her regulations.
The trees of the hills and the low
lands and all those natural. normal
restraints, were placed In the wisesr
and best places and manner. Nothing
was forgotten.
Man steps in and wastes these COW
erings of the hills. The trees are cut
down and wasted Every natural pro-
lection Is wiped out. The natural res
ervoirs that nature placed here ana
, there were laughed at and put away.
Man sought to demonstrate how much
better he could fix the scheme.
The awful floods are simply one H.
lustration Of the penalty he must pay
for his determined work at fraud. Ma
ture Is exacting a terrible penalty.
The hills, denuded of their forests,
and the lowlands. bare OF vegetable
protection against q rush of water are
pointing accusing but sorrowful dng-
ers at the suffering people today.

these natural projections and safe

will be safe from similar dangers. The

But these foods should be the com.
Polling warning to get on better terms
