such citizens as Robert c. ogden, Al- bert Shaw, Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst Tallcott Williams, Carroll D. Wright. etc. The fundamental principle and purpose of the organization Is to make the experience of all available for the instruction of each. This principle Is applicable alike to individuals. corpor- ations, churches, societies, States, na- tions. The information at the disposal of the institute is of especial value to municipal officers, to those who are trying to solve municipal problems. It has human experience on file and well comes inquiry from any source. The American Civic association Philadelphia, furnishes information and answers to inquiries on any phase or civic improvement.
 Then there Is the League of Amer ican Municipalities, with headquarters at Des Moines Iowa, of which the mu- nicipality of Charleston is a member. A monthly bulletin is issued and dis tributed to the aldermen, officials and heads of departments of membership cities. At the annual convention ques- tions affecting the methods and admin istration of every department of city government are discussed by men who are best fitted to speak by reason of their high attachments and experiences in municipal affairs.
 The National Municipal league, with headquarters in Philadelphia, holds an nually a conference for good city gov ernment. The publications of this or ganization are very instructive, and useful to any individual or corporation interested in the best solution of the city problem. Among the contributors are men of national prominence Any one interested can find in the Columbia public library three volumes contain ing the proceedings of three of the conferences. The publications of this league have become standard works of reference to those interested in the great question confronting American municipalities.
 These are the most important or- ganizations. A complete list, alone, of all the improvement associations whose membership is national would take up the greater part of column. They embrace in their scope whatever conduces to the improvement of man individually and collectively, mentally, morally. physically. indoors and out. and include general, technical and spe- cial class organizations.

wet weather. He began to investi
ate and experiment on his owl
groad. He became convinced tina
country road should be oval, hard
and smooth; and that its worst
enemy was standing water, which
If allowed to stand, softens the earth
and makes mud holes and chuck
holes. In his experim enting he
made drag of the stock of an old
wooden pump and an old oak post
held parallel to each other by three
pieces of board. This drag was
given a slant of about forty-fve de-
grees in the direction required to
force the earth it gathered from the
side of the road into the centre,
There had been soaking rain and
the earth was in a plastic condition.
The drag leveled down the wheel
ruts and pushed the surplus dirt
into the centre of the road. The
result was revelation. More rain
came but, as he remarks, lit ran off
like water from ducks back. !"
This experiment was followed up.
Every time it rained he was out with
his drag, and the result was that the
road kept constantly improving in
condition. He finally learned that
there are three elements required to
make perfect earth road, and that
the lack of any one of them is fatal
to the result.
ITO be perfect an earth road must
be at one and the same time oval,
hard and smooth. All of these in
dispensables are acquired by the use
OF the split-log drag in any soil that
I have ever come in contract with.
Observation taught me that two
weeks of rain would not put this
bit OF road in bad condition at
time when the highway at either
end of it was impossible for wagon
This drag method obviates the
necessity of blowing loosens the
earth, so it absorbs water. The drag,
which Mr.. King advocates, consists
OF two halves of split log nine feet
long. ten or twelve inches thick. set
on edge thirty inches apart, both fiat
sides to the front, strong oak bars
binding the two pieces. This is
operated at an angle Of As degrees,
so that the soft mud and loose dirt
is forced into the centre of the road,
giving the road an oval shape. This
sheds the water. There is no place
in which the water can stand ana
make chuck holes. The drag hould
be used after every rain. Il Is re-
commended that in working a clay
or gumby road iron be used on the
lower edge of the drag. 1t IS a
simple device, has worked we'll
where tried, and is recommended to
the farmers of Stevens county. BY
following this method the farmers
will reduce the cost Of keeping roads
in repair and will furnish a good
road in all seasons Of the year,
which he does not now enjoy.
