HOW TO USE A DRAG.
Some Points ON Improving a High
way by the King Method.

some Points ON Improving a High
way by the King Method.
An Illinois highway commission has
issued a bulletin on the split log, or
King drag, which contains these in
structons for its manipulation:
Make a light drag, which is hauled
over the road at an angle so that q
small amount Of earth is pushed to the
center of the road.
Drive the team at a walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk along
side.
Begin at one side of the road or
wheel track, returning up the opposite
SIDE
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the mud
Is in such condition as to stick to the
drag.
Do not drag dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea-
sons of the year. If road is dragged
Immediately before cold spell it will
freeze in a smooth condition.
The width of travelled way to be
maintained by the drag should be from
eighteen to twenty feet. First drag a
little more than the width of single
wheel track. then gradually increase
until the desired width is observed.
Always drag little earth toward the
center of the road until it is raised
from ten to twelve inches above the
edges of the Travelled way.
The amount of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very consider
ably controlled by the driver, accord
ingly as he stands near the cutting
end or away from it.
When the roads are first dragged
after very muddy spell the wagons
should drive, IL possible, to one side
until the roadway has chance to
freeze or partially dry out.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated applications.
Remember that constant attention is
necessary to maintain an earth road in
Its best condition

TREES AT ROADSlDES.
Valuable In Prolonging the Life of
the Road.

Valuable In Prolongins the Life of
the Road.
Now that the work of road construc-
ton is in full progress it seems proper
time to consider what to do with the
roadside, says Good Roads Magazine.
The advantages Of setting out trees
along the highway, the planting Of
shrubbery and flowers and the elimina-
ton of features which do not tend to
make attractive have been frequently
awelt upon in these columns.
In some Of the states the question is
looked upon as much part of the
system as the roadbed itself, and laws
have been passed providing for plant
ing trees and cutting noxious weeds,
while in others the subject does not
appear to have been given the consider
alton it deserves.
Many farmers believe that nothing
but grass should be allowed to grow
along the roadside. The reason for this
Is no doubt due partly to the fact Of
their conservatism in following in the
footsteps of their ancestors, and this
prevents them from looking at the
subject in any other light than that it
Is the proper thing to do to make a
clean sweep of everything In the shape
Of trees and shrubbery
Among their arguments are that the
trees cause drifting during the winter

season and their shade produces a
dampness in summer which is undesir-
able. The building of macadam roads
has materially changed conditions.
Trees do make moisture, and that is
what is wanted to preserve and pro-
long the life Of the stone road.
The highways Of France are noted
for the beautiful trees along their sides
and the French road builders recognize
their value in affording shade and mois-

CHINOOX'S "FAIR' PROGRAM.

The program of Chinook's great fair,
the first to be held in Chouteau county,

1t is announced by the fair manage

fure, the latter being considered an es-
sential element in maintenance.
Fruit trees and walnut or other nut
bearing trees can be made to yield a
profitable income as well as to furnish
shade and add beauty to the landscape.
Flowers in the yard close to the road
side are always attractive. How to
beautify the roadside is certainly
matter that cannot be given too careful
consideration.

ERA OF BIG THINGS.
Skill and Talent Command Greater
Rewards Than Ever in
Worlds History.

In these days the surgeon who is
master of his science receives fees
which would havo startled the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee of
$4,000 is not uncommon for an op.
Grafton which can be performed in
comparatively little time. Of course,
$4,000 is not the maximum fee
There are cases, it is stated, in
which as much as $4,000 has been
paid. When life is hanging by a
thread the question of fees is i'm.
material. The average man will give
all that he has, if required, to get a
new lease of life through the sur
geon's skill. A famous throat spe-
cialist was once summoned from
London to treat the father of the
present kaiser. He remained only a
few days after making diagnosis.
He rendered no bill, but it is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half years
earnings of the specialist, who had a
very large income from his profes.
sion. Even the literary man receives
large fees for his work. Mr.. John
Morley, it has been stated, was paid
$4,000 to write the Life of Glad
stcale." Certainly, great skill and
talent never commanded greater re-
wards than they do now. 1t is an era

6nally made sergeant. He had faith

years in many parts of the city, and
the marks against him were few and

been found equal to all emergencies.

he had been most successful. Every

exercise Of the most tact and judgment

That Policeman Barney Flynn is stlll
PatroIman Flynn is due entirely to
himself. others are patrolmen be-
cause they cannot be sergeants or lieu

choice. He is probably the only man
on 9TH foorce" who, having been pro-
NOTED, has made special and earnest
plea to be "ray-dooced to tn franks,
as he himself put it. In this he IS
unique, but in many other respects he
is typical Of a certain class OF police
men of whom the inhabitants of a city
hear little. He is resourceful and hon.
est; If he were not it is probable more
would be heard of him in the news

the spectacular that gets in the lime
light of publicity, and faithfulness,
perseverance and honesty are not often
spectacular, so we hear more of things
we admire less; and, hearing more of
them, we gain the idea that they are
the predom1nating features of modern
life.
True, Policeman Flynn may be more
resourceful than some of his brother
officers, ana he may have more of
hard-headed common sense, but he is
no more conscientious than the great
majority of them. Like them he has
many faults, not the least of which is
a desire to have as easy and comfort
able a life as possible, but he acts al
ways according to his best judgment,
and he defends his acts with rare
philosophy when they are assailed.
For instance, it might be charged
against him that he has made fewer
arrests than any other man of his
length of service, and this would carry
weight in quarters where policeman's
usefulness is judged solely by the
number of prisoners he brings in.
But there are men of experience who
will insist that this is not true gauge
of merit, and Policeman Flynn is one
of them. He does not like to make ar
rests; he does not deem it necessary
in instances where others do.

WHY OHIO is PROUD.

Not much is heard of Ohio as a
corn state, but only seven out of the
other Al beat it in the size of the crop.
The average population of the, coun-
ties of Ohio is about $4,000, but of the
SO only 20 or q exceed that limit.
There are more men fit for mill
tary duty in Ohio than fought at Muk-
den, in the Japanese and Russian
armies combined.
If the people of Ohio stood side by
side, with outstretched arms, touching
finger tips, the line would reach from
Boston to San Francisco, with large
margin left.
The first settlements in Ohio were
made in the southeastern part OF the
state, but now that section is less pop
ulous than almost any other. 1t con-
tains no great city.
No precious metals have ever been
mined in Ohio, but the value of the
coal and iron dug out of the Ohio hills
every year exceeds that of the gold
of Colorado or California.
Only one Illinois which is
Younger than Ohio is more populous.
Illinois is much larger in area. No
state later in date of settlement has
more inhabitants in proportion to its
size

''I'll not go home" once retorted a
young man who had received good adj

AS the policeman is an exceedingly

come down hard, the argument ended
there, and the young man moved on.

his own-except when they are his

ways, has given him various valuable
suggestions when he stood in need of
