CLAIMS BEST ROAD
Edeington Township Has Ideal
S Mile Stretch OF
Highway.
MADE so By KING DRAG
Pressure of Farm Work Has Sup
pressed Enthusiasm in Toe Many
other Communities.

Edgington township has license to
lay claim to the best smile section of
dirt road in Rock Island county.
Through the encouragement of the
highway commissioners and the enter
prise of those living along the way the
straight level highway between Taylor
Ridge and Edgington postoffice has
been regularly worked this season
with the King drag, and the result is
beautiful to behold. Rock Islands as
phalt streets are not finer than this
road. Other parts of the same town
ship have shown equal enterprise, and
it may be said that Edginton is head
quarters in Rock Island county for the
King drag.
Elsewhere in the county it has too
frequently happened that the farmers
who started out this spring with good
intentions and correct methods have
allowed their enthusiasm to wane as
the pressure of farm work grew and
now the highways are neglected. The
traveller must keep his vehicle in the
deep ruts worn by the wheels and
meeting or passing tries the worth of

the occupants. Doubtless when har-
vest is over members of the various
good roads associations will be more
disposed TO live up to the pledges they
made in the spring.
Drag I'm New York.
The King road drag has been sue
cessfully used in New York, and the

and significant terms in telling of it's
work:
The whole secret of using the King
drag is TO use it when the roads are
wet. The longer the road is dragged
after each rainy period, the harder and
more durable will be the crust or shell
that forms as the road dries and pro-
tects it from damage. To keep this
shell intact, it is necessary to drag the
road after every rain.
las we don't wish to plant gardens
in our roadbeds. we should follow in
road-makinc. Mr.. King reasoned,
course precisely the reverse of that
which is best adapted TO garden-mak-
ing. As the aim of the cultivator is
to form kind of wash basin of his
soil, to induce it to catch and hold as
much moisture aslpossible the aim of
the roadbuilder should be to upset the
wash basin. to get the water to run
away as quickly as possible after MAX
ing the slightest impression. What
was poor farming practice would there
fore be good roadmaking practice. If
the road could be smoothed and round

Decatur Herald: Swain. the Rock

ting during the three games just play
ed here. Out of so times at bat he got
a total of nine hits, which is an aver
age of .G92. OF the nine hits two were
home runs and one a three-bagger. 1t
was certainly the greatest exhibition
of batting ever seen on the local
grounds for series of games.

Islanders Unable to Hit DavenpOrts
SOuthpaw Johnnie.


SOuthpaw Johnnie.
Davenport's Southpaw Johnnie was
too much for the Islanders yesterday,
and the swatfest that they have been
making of the games recently came to
an end. The heavy hitters were unable
10 do anything with Baker, and he got
away with his game with a score of
to 0. Cook made the circuit in the
eighth, but Flaherty would not give it
to him.
Scott pitched for the Islanders, and
worked in steady manner, not giving
a pass. and of the nine hits credited to
the Davenporters only four of them
went to the outfield The game was
full of scratch hits. the Islanders get
ting some too, and a glance at the
score shows how much work the out
folders had.
Count In Sixth.
In the sixth inning the Davenporters
made their score. Crockett got on by
beating out short one that went down
by second base. Burg sacrificed. and
Crockett went to third on Curtis out.
Harrod put the ball into the left field
and the score was made
Bennett came near getting one in
the first inning. He started out by
putting one down to Wanner that took
a bad bound and went over the base
mans head. He stole second and tried
to reach the plate on a single by Crock
EFT TO right. Swain. however, had his
eye on the plate and cut off the run.
In the eighth Cook got on by field
er's choice. In trying to catch Wilson
at first Crockett let the ball go through
him over toward the bleacher fence
Cook made the circuit and slid onto
the plate, but was called out The
