THE HARM DOME BY FLOODS

Every return Of spring weather
brings the news OF damage by. floods
along the nations great rivers. The
attitude Of Congress ana the public
is like the oft repeated story OF the
man whose roof leaked. He did not
mend it when it rained, because It
was too wet to work on it, and when
it didn't rain, the roof was all right.
The public seems to think that the
floods are an injury only to the COM
Tnunities directly affected. But as
several of the recent Mississippi river
freshets have each caused damage
estimated at $50, 100000 or more,
this destruction is a tax on the whole
country 1t affects national pros
perity much more than evils that at
tract greater attention.
Scientists say that the people Of
1000 years ago were much more eff
fcient in handling their rivers. Flood
damage was a great problem even in
those days. 1t is said that the de-
structive risings of the Tiber were
one of the principal causes of the
decline and fall of the Roman empire
In Egypt the control of the Nile
reached a point of skill scarcely att
tempted in this country.
The ancient people turned these
flood tigers into friends of man They
handled the surplus water scientihcal-
ly. so as to enrich the land.
Engineers say that much Of the
levee building along the Mississippi
has been worse than useless. The
people OF one district build bikes that
may save themselves for time, but
are destructive to those a little farth-
err down the stream. The scientific
thing to do, apparently, would be to
allow the water to spread out in GER
tain basins.
If the owners of land did not want
this done, it is asserted that it would
pay the United States to buy the
land. After period of 20 to 80
years, the river, by flowing more reg
ularIy, could be made to deepen it's
channel. The land of the basins
where the flood waters were stored,
would be so enriched that the gov
eminent could sell it and make
money on the whole transaction

Goodbye, Old Mister Trouble.
(By Lokalady).

Goodbye, old Mister Trouble
We're more than glad to have you go.
For you've brought us care and worry
And all the Ills that flesh can know.
Goodbye, and may you never prosper
No matter how nor where you go.
Your visitation marks your victims
With wild-eyed want and ghostly woe.
When Joy comes smiling round our
pathway,
And hope springs high to lift tac
You, Old Man Trouble, sneak and
To strike death knell to their abode.
Goodbye, Old Mister Trouble,
And may your going lift the load
or care-wrecked life, grown old and
shriveled,
