A National On1igation.

The proposition to have the Govern
ment aid the States in the improve
ment of highways, as embodied in the
bills now before Congress, means only
to discharge national obligation. The
Government belongs to the people. In
its control there is a community of in.
terest involved. The necessity fol
Government aid to good roads is SO
plainly apparent that it is outside the
domain of controversy. Bad roads in
the United States cost the producing
people $1,500O00 every twenty-four
hours. This drain is fearful; it is
deadening the national life, and is o
national disgrace. Good roads develop
good people. The wagon roads are the
highways along which civilization and
development move. The rural free de.
livery in our postal service is doing
much to awaken our Congressman tc
the needs of the country roads; and
the development of the touring auto.
mobile is bringing the urban popula.
tion to better understand the highway
needs of the nation. Every interest
of our people demands good roads. and
we can only have them through great
national movement, the Government OF
the United States leading the way

Dragging the Road.

"Out there in Kansas where they
have been very successful in keeping
ordinary dirt roads in most excellent
shape by the use of common. ordinary
drag, a speaker at one of their meet
ings made the following suggestions
as to how to use the drag: "Don'i
drive too fast. Don't walk; get on
the drag and ride. Don't wait for
your neighbors to take hold; they may
be waiting for you. Don't bother about
a tongue; it is much more trouble and
expense, and is of little benefit. Don't
wait for the big grader to come and
shape up your road; all you can do first
will help to make the work of the
grader permanent Don't be particu
lar about material; with an axe and q
two-inch auger almost any kind of a
log can be made into drag; the one
/ used for several years is box-elder
Don't try to drag with one piece; use
two. One will scoop out the hollows
in the road and deepen them. Wher
two are used the one keeps the other
up; and in month or so the hollows
will have filed, and become level ant
hard like the balance of the road
