TEMPORARY GOOD ROADS.
The "DragginE' system Has Many
Points in It's Favor and Ger
tainly Is Worth Trying.

Even the most ardent advocate. Of
road dragging can claim only that it is
an excellent makeshift. It's chief ex-
ponent, Mr. D. W. King, of Maitland,
Mo, has written at length on the how
and why's of this system, and his arti-
Gle, "The What Next of the Good Roads
Problem?" has been published in a
bulletin by the Missouri board of agri-
culture. The matter is receiving con-
siderable attention throughout the state,
and many smooth hard stretches OF
road testify to the efficiency of this
system as a substitute for the perma-
nent stone road. The stone road re-
quires attention. Let no one think that
a pike once made takes care of itself.
The writer knows of several miles OF
excellent macadamized and graveled
roads in St Louis county, which, un-
der the pressure of excessive heavy
hauling during the freeze-and-thaw Pc
Rod this spring, became cut through SO
disastrously as to require considerable
expense in repairs. 1t is fair to say
that in this case the drainage, while
good, was not perfect. Whether SIM
liar expenditure of time and energy de-
voted to grading and smoothing our
common dirt roads at exactly the crit
ical moment will justify the claims of
the adherents of this system Is ques-
ton easily disposed Of, as the equipment
is inexpensive. An eight-foot eight
inch log split in two, the pieces fastened
together with the fiat sides to the front,
is ALL We are not apt to be troubled
with muddy roads for awhile, but the
results secured by smoothing the roads
after each spring rain are so satisfactory
as to warrant trial of the split log drag
AS Missouri man said recently: "You
cannot talk long enough or hard enough
to man to make him believe what it
will do. The only way for him to COM
prehend it is to build drag and use It. y

EONORS WERE EVEN.
Although the Attorney Ran Some
what of a Risk In Retaliating
on the Judge.

John R. Eldridge, well known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
to argue case before a justice of the peace
in one of the small towns near Rochester.
1t happened that Mr.. Eldridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties,
had been opposed to each other in several
contests and were far from being on the best
personal terms. Each, to use slang express
sion, "had it in for the other" The justice
scored the first point, says the New York
Herald.
In field near the court room donkey
was feeding. Just as Mr.. Eldridge was in
the midst of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with a resonant
bray.
Just minute. Mr. Eldridge, just min
ute said the justice blandly. Il cannot
hear two at once"
The attorney was hard hit, but be said
nothing and waited his turn. 1t came when
the justice was explaining point of law to
the jury. Again the bray of the donkey re-
sounded through the court room. Mr. Ell
bridge placed his hand at his ear
Would you mind repeating that, your
honor?" he said in his midest tones. There
was such an echo that could not under
stand
Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con-
tempt of court. but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even,

REASSURING.
She Expected to He in the Same elk"
Herself and Could Therefore
Sympathtze.

A middle-aged man and HIS wife decided to
take trip to Washington, and as it was the
beginning of the season, they both invested
in some new clothes for the journey. Their
grown-up children made fun of their new"
appearance, but it was not until they were
safely settled in their seats and opened their
bags that they discovered the joke that had
been played upon them, relates the New
York Times.
One of their offspring had filled both
satchels with rice, and on taking out what
they needed, the tiny grains were scattered
broadcast.
OF course there was at once an amused
smile on every ones face, and the mother
felt herself getting redder than she had ever
been in her life before, and was made no
more comfortable when fat German woman
opposite leaned over and said quite audiby:
"Ach-never mind, I'm a vidder woman
now, but this time next week III be in the
same fix myself"

Still Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. l2th.-Many re.
markable cures have been reported from all
over the country, but there is one right here
in Franksvllle which is certainly worth pub
fishing, and which has not as yet been gwen
to the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been
a sick woman for quite a long time and could
not find anything to give her any help. She
suffered all the painful symptoms of what
ls generally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives OF many women
one long burden of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Markison ohanced one day to hear
of new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
that was said to be a splendid medicine for
women's weakness. She determined to try
some and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mrs. Markison says
Il can and do praise Dodd's'Kidney Pills
as remedy for female weakness. They are
the best medicine have ever known, and
have done me great deal of good"

tensile strength of the five-eighths-inch
rope is very much greater than the ten

this advantage, that it gives and takes
the expansion and contraction of heat

cause it has no corners.

have three of this kind, and speak
whereof l know. One has been filled,
this is the thirteenth winter, and an
other one has been filled for nine win
tiers. Anyone can build one of this sort
who can handle level and saw, or use
a hammer and nails, and good thing
about them is that they can be set any
where and made to conform to the size
of the barn, if you want to put them
inside.
The picture shows clearly how the
silo is built. The foundation is below
frost, made of stones laid in cement
mortar On this is placed stills Of two
by six or two by eight. Matched pine
siding is stood up and braced by two
by eight or two by ten-inch scantling,
placed as shown. The corners are put
in on a bevel to avoid the square cor
ner, and also to allow of braces to
strengthen the silo.
A second thickness Of siding should
be put on to break joints. Do not use
paper between the boards, as it will rot
out have a silo built of single boards
of six-inch matched pine. The lumber
was as dry as l could get it, and put to-
gether as tight as possible, but found
after the first year that those boards
would shrink apart little, and that
many places would never get tight
again. That is the danger of the single
board silo, and also the danger of the
poorly constructed round silo.

silo is going to give the satisfaction
that some think, am not SO sure. In

1t may be inclined to rot out in some

One thing is certain, if you build a
round silo, you must build a good deal
better one than if you build a square
one.
For hoops, flve-eighths-inch wire rope
is very satisfactory. 1t can be bought

These Figures Don't Lie.

A Kansas farmer undertook to inves-
tigate the rise in the land value of his
neighborhood, which had followed the
building of unusually good roads. He
received replies from 40 farmers and the
average amount Of the increase was
$6.4S per acre. Under the present con-
ditions of most country roads, it costs q
farmer living ten miles from the mar
ket about $3.50 to haul SIS worth OF

cent. of the total value of the grain.

On the last day for the com Pile
ton OF tickets for the ensuing city
election there was decided
change in the complexion OF the
various tickets. The law enforce
ment people, who are supposed to
stand for everything that is good
and holy, held a conference with
representatives OF the Citizens'
ticket for tonr long and weary
hours Monday afternoon. for the
purpose OF efiecting compromise
and placing one ticket in the field
IL possible. The representatives
OF the two factions. however, were
unable to agree, and the result
was that the vacancy committees
OF the two tickets harmonized
where they could and let 1t go at
that. Some OF the candidates on
the law enforcement ticket posi-
lively refused to Withdraw under
any circumstances. and are ap-
parently willing to experience the
sensation of an overwhelming de-
feat. The TRIBUNE will support
the Citizens ticket from stem to
stern, without fear or favor, but
