Or Carts April Fool.

1T was away out in the Indian
try, On the Missouri river" said Dad.
dy. a. he helped the two little tots
into bed, "a town where many bad
things happen, and where DOGGY men
live. But among all these bogey men
there lived a righteous man, who had
a name which was so hard to pro.
nounce, that everybody called him
Carl, because that was an easy name.
Carl was an honest man and never
did anything wrong II he thought he
would be caught at it. He worked
hard and became very strong, In fact
he became one of the strongest men
in the big town where he lived, but
didn't have much sense He grew and
grew, till he weighed over 200 pounds.
One day lie was elected to Office and
his friends very foolishly talked to him
SO much about his being such a big
man that he got to feeling that he was
an awful big man. Then he thought
he could do many things in the city.
and one election day which came on
April Fool he left his home and went
down in the very wicked part of town
to tell the bad men how they should
vote. .-' ..-
Now it happened that there was a
bold bad man by the name of Reilly,
who used to fight at school, and when
the big boys picked OF him he just had
to fight his way out. Like lots of
other bad boys his name was Frank,
and for a long time worked for a Mr..
Woodruff in the town. Well, one day
lit was April Fool election day-Carl
went oven to this bad part of town to-
tell the men how to vote, and to stop
bold, bad men like Frank from voting
more than they ought to. Well, Frank:
went in where the men were voting as
hard as thcy could and was just watch.

good start. and when Frank got loose
Carl was going so fast he couldn't
catch him, SO had to let It 60. Carl
never came back and now his friends
say it was a grave mistake for Carl to
leave his own community where there
was so much good to be done and go
down into the wicked part of town
where he could do nothing but get
licked.
Anyhow Carl has two ore spots.
one on his face and one in his heart.
His face is sore because naughty
Frank hit it, and his heart is sore be-
cause his friends were so hard hit
in the election. Now, you must always
remember: that there is a moral to this
story, and that is If you want to keep
out of trouble and not have the DOGGY
man get you, you must always keep

the flat areas OF that region. The Ohio
and Indiana disasters are in tho nature
Of deluges following remarkably heavy
rains ontinuer for many hours. Ow-
Ing to the d%enudation OF the country
the soil cannot retain the tremendous
volumes Of water that fall and the
rivers quickly overflow their banks.
This is a direct result of ~deforestation,
and in the comparatively crowded sec.
tons Of the most recently stricken
states 1t Is a perhaps inevitable incl.
dent of development. Nevertheless,
the experiences throughout Ohio and
Indiana prove that insufficient atten.
ton has been paid to the matter OF
safety against unusual rainfall. In
some cases reservoirs have burst I'M
der the suddenly increased pressureu.
In other instances the foundations Of
dams have been undermined by the
securing floods. At Dayton the Miami
river has OverfloWed its banks, burst
ing lcvees and sending a suddenly re.
leased torrent vore the low lying parts
of the city.
But even where there has been no
actual breaking of walls Or dams inun.
dation has followed the tremendous
railfall of the past few days, accom-.
panying the series Of storms that have
swept from the southwest diagonally
across the country. In many places
rivers have left their courses and
flooded wide areas at considerable lev.
els above the usual high water mark.
The truth is that the channels for the
drainage Of the country in these thick.
ly populated sections are inadequate
in emergencies, possibly because they
have been filled up with detritus and
neglected, inasmuch as they are no
longer 'navigablc' and therefore sub.
jeCt to appropriations Tor dredging.
With the increase Of population III q
watershed the streams become choked
and their capacity to discharge flood
waters is materially lesscned by rear
son of long continued insanitary modes
of sewage disposal and other encroach-
mcnts upon them as a part of the nat.
ural drainage system Of the country.

THE OHIO VALLEY FLOODS.

Washington Star: 1t is impossible
TO read the reports that come from the
flood.stricken sections Of Ohio and In
diana without feeling the utter help
lessness of man in the face Of the un-
restrained elements. At Omaha the
other day, too, where wind caused
swift and widespread destruction,
there was no human power to sta,
the devastation. At Dayton, at Peru
and at other, places in the flood-swept
states all man can do IS TO wait until
the waters have subsidized and then
aid the survivors. At this moment it
is futile to try to count the total cost
Of these ~visitations of wind and water.
Probably not for many days will the
death toll be known with anw degree
Of accuracy, for the floods lrave carr-
ed people away long distances from
their homes and in the decentralization
that follows such a disaster there IS
no assurance of complete accounting
for everybody. .
The Ohio and Indiana disasters, fol-
lowing so close upon the destructive
storms in Nebraska, give the country a
profound shock. Ordinarily n of
these visitations would suffice to mark
the year as one of heavy loss, but the
floods Of Ohio and Indiana, taking
their toll of life in thousands, u
the Nebraska catastrphe to pale into
comparative insisntacance.
Doubtless these two series of phe-
nomena are generally related in that
they are manifestations Of q seriously
disturbed condition. The storms west

Farm Registration Law.

There appears to be a great deal of
interest over the state in the law
which was passed by the last session
of the legislature regarding the regis
tration of the farm lame. There also
seems to be an impression that the sec
rotary Of state Is the party to whom
application for registration should be
made, but this, is not a fact. The law
provides that the register Of deeds
in each county is;made the registra-
ton office. There is a fee OF 81 charg-
ed for the registration and the wner
of the farm is furnished with a certifi.
cate. If it is ever desired to cancel the
registration it is done in the same
manner, by application to the county
register of deeds and a fee Of so cents
is charged for the cancellation. No
two farms in the anne county will be
allowed to have the same name. When
making application for the registra.
