ment of state volunteers.
There are no longer any militia

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


u. Ward King of Maitland, Mo-, in
vcntOr of the King method of road
dragging, has n theory which practice
has demonstrated to he correct 1t is
that all clay and gumbo roads should
he dragged with a light drag after each
rain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up the road
1t leaves n roadbcd as smooth and per
feet as a city street.
The discovery of this method and tn"
more important discovery of Mr. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on small but we'll improved
farm near Maitland. He was not par
ticularly interested in the good road
movement as a 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 luVpS and
dry weather is as hard as n rock and
almost as injurious to wagon tires.
Passing wagons in wet weather would
dig deep rutS, and when the road dried
up the rutS would remain. At best the
road was very poor. Many times when
wheat was selling at Il good price and
Mr.. King had many bushels of it 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
structcd a 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 1t 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 not say anything believed he
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 it 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, heard of Mr..
Kings good roads methods and invited
him to speak at the farmers institute
in his neighborhood. He accepted and,
being an enthusiast on the subject, he
made several converts. He was en-
gagged for n 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.

Odorless and Dustless Roads.

Consul r. H. Norton, writing to the
state department from ChemnitZ, Ger
many, says that Il Saxon firm has in
which has been tried on the macadam-
lied streets of Leipzig and other places
with much success The material is
thus described:
1t is mixture of the heavier resid-
ual oils obtained In the distillation of
bons The method Of mixing apparent
ly involves certain degree of chem
ical combination, in which phenol and
similar constituents play role. The
manufactured material is prepared for
use by heating in iron CaldronS, idcn-
tical with those used for asphalt, to
temperatures ranging from 212 to 24S
degrees f. 600 to 100 c.. 1t Is then
sprayed evenly over the surface of
roadway with a special form of ap-
paratus and under such high pressure
that the fluid mass penetrates to Ger
tain distance into the upper layer of
dust or dirt The result Is the forma-
tion of compact lustrous black coat
ing which meets the demands of heavy
traffic and Is not diSintegrated INTO
dust particles. A marked advantage OF
the new process over the methods hith-
and based upon the use of ordinary
tar Is the total absence of Odor after

with the JOY of living, yet frank to
