ROAD DRAGGING.
How the Inventor of tho King Drag
Discovered His Method.

How the Inventor of tho King Drag
Discovered His Method.
D. Ward King Of Maitland. Mo-, in
ventor of the King method of road
dragging. has theory which practice
has demonstrated ~ he rrrrc't. IT Is
that III r!uy ;,"G .-u.-- /" '',S Sh:E!o
be dragged with u light asi.s after e;tci
rain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up the road
II leaves a roadbed as smooth and per-
feet as a city street.
The discovery Of this method and the
more important discovery of MIR. King
were largely accidental Years ago ne
lived on small but well improved
farm near Maitland BE was not par
ticularly interested in the good road
movement as q national or state issue.
but the four miles Of road from his
farm to Maitland were Of great interest
to him, says the St Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The road was Of that soft, sticky
red clay that in wet weather clings to
the wagon wheels in great Jumps and
dry weather is as hard as rock and
almost as injurious to wagon tires
Passing wagons in wet weather would
dig deep ruts. and when the road dr1ed
up the ruts would remain. At best the
road was very poor. Many times when
wheat was selling at good price and
Mr. King had many bushels of 1t the
road would be so bad that he could
not haul it to the market, and when
the road finally became passable the
market would be low again.
After many experiments he con-
structed small, light drag, using two
old timbers connected with light strips,
and began to drag the road in front OF
his residence. After each rain he
would run the drag over it, and when
the sun came out and the road dried
up it was in perfect condition. When
he began to drag the road many OF his
neighbors told other neighbors that
King was crazy. Others told King
himself that he was crazy Others
who did noi say anything believed ne
was crazy But the experiments proved
that Kings method was successful,
and he extended his operations until
he was dragging all the road in front
Of his farm. His neighbors took 1t up.
and In few months the road from his
farm to Maitland was as good as any
In Missouri.
George B. Ellis, secretary Of the state
board of agriculture, beard of Mr..
Kings good roads methods and invited
him to speak lit the farmers institute
in his neighborhood. he accepted, and,
being an enthusiast on the subject, ne
made several converts. He was en-
gagged for q series Of lectures and has
turned over his farm to others and Is
devoting all of his time to preaching
the gospel Of good roads. Good roads
meetings have been held in various
parts Of Missouri and hundreds OF con-
verts have been made. After every
rain in Missouri hundreds Of farmers
drag the roads in front Of their farms,
and the number of these volunteer
road workers is increasing every week.

any efforts to use the United Spanish

political purposes, Commander-in-
Chief Charles w. Newton, of that
body, in letter received today by
j. Walter Mitchell the national his
torian, says that the Organization
cannot afford to be misrepresented
in a matter of such vital importance.
The letter grows out of reports OF
the organization of the league of vet
Grams to support one of the party
candidates. Newton says that the
fact that Il is generally known that
the organization in common with
many other prominent veteran o.
ganiza tions is absolutely non-par-
tisan, should refute any statement
made by the political managers which
is contrary to these principles.
ANY comrades who combine TO
use the organization for political
