A horse-drawn wagon dumps a large cube of soil into the Mississippi River.  The cube is labeled "One cubic mile of the richest top soil in the world." On top of the soil is a top-hatted and bearded man with a shovel, labeled "Old Man Carelessness."  A sign on the left shows the soil is on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. Also on the left are a group of men representing the U.S. Flood Commission, witnessing the dumping while another top-hatted and bearded old man is trying to get the group's attention by jumping up and down and pointing to the dump truck.
