THE SPLIT LOO DRAG.
Illinois People Waking up to the
Fact that II Helps the Roads.


Nation, H.. March S-The
rsplit log' drag, which is claimed
by some to be the best solution OF
the good.rOads problem in this
section of Illinois. is now getting
a practical aud thorough test.
j. p. Ashbrook, wealthy farm
er, living northeast Of here, has
been working at odd times with
his split log on n piece of road
near his home. aud the results OBJ
tanned demonstrate that this meth
cd is the practical one for the
building Of good roads.
The split-lOg arrangement. whie h
is a simple continuance, is said to
have been originated by a Nilsson
rian named King. When King first
commenced dragging the roads his
ueighbors concluded that be was
harmlessly insane and offered no
serious objections to bis amusing
himself in this peculiar manner, A
year served to show that he was
right and what was q bad piece of
road was changed into one that
could be trotted over at the worst
season of the year.
Mr.. Ashbrook heard of Kings
experience and resolved to try it
for himself. Last summer be pick.
ed out the worst piece Of road in
his neighborhood, and right
after every rain he went out and
pulled his split-log drag over it.
The road is now in good coalition;
in fact, it is about the only strip
of road in this section, with the
exception of the paved streets in
the cities, where a team can pull a
load.
BY his experiment Mr.. AshbroOk
has opened the eyes Of the farmers
in his vicinity, and in the next
year many will follow his example.
The public highways in Coles
County are so bad in the winter
that they very seriously handicap
many lines of business.

The Republicans of the Eighth
Congressional District held a meet

preparatory TO the campaign.
The meeting was held in the hall
of House Of Representatives A
committee room would have suf-
feed to hold crowd that attended
during the afternoon. There were
scarcely twenty-five Out-of-towr :
men present, and most of the visi'
tors were officeholders.
At night some 900 town people
turned out to hear the speaking.
The drawing card was Attorney
General Hadley. who devoted a
goodly share Of his speech to the
subject of law enforcement.

The Ship Subsidy Bill passed by
the Senate is a proposal to have the
government assist the merchant
marine, by paying to the owners
of vessels a sum sufficient to make
good the difference in cost Of con-
struction and operation between
American built-aud-operated ships
and those of foreign nations. I'm
der existing circumstances the
United States pays out between 2
and hundred million dollars to
foreign shipping concerns for the
reason that American ships are
more expensive to build and op.
crate. More generous wages are
paid to shipbuilders and to officers
and crews of America. Judged
from the commercial standpoint the
question of ship subsidies is one
of expediency.
