DIRT ROADS.
DIRT ROADS.
Row They Are Kept In Good cond'
ton In Sections Of Missouri.

There are three tools that are being
used in Missouri In keeping the dirt
roads In good condition, the grader,
the drag and the harrow, writes a cor
respondent of the Farmers Voice. The
grader, costing from 5000 to $500. Is
used In rolling up the roads. This Is
done, or, at least. should be DONE IN
the spring OF the year. II the roads
are graded in the fall they get
terribly cut up by the travel after
the rains in the late fall and some
times become almost impossible. 10
say the least, they arc miseraoly
rough. When graded in the spring the
roads get bad enough In the winter
and spring, and 1t Is only OF late
years that farmers have learned the
use Of the drag and harrow in putting
them In good condition again.
The road drag is easily constructed
by means OF two timbers OF split logs
from eight to ten feet In length and
about the size of heavy fence posts
They may be fastened together win
oak cross pieces or by round spokes
extending from the holes in one piece
to those In the other. Good chains
can be fastened to the pieces to whicn
the double tree can be attached. u
the drag is extra heavy, two teams
MY be used by hitching one at each
cad When dragging the road one
team should be kept little ahead OF
the other, so as to pull the dirt toward
the middle of the road. 1t is good
idea to have a sharp cutting blade oil
STEEL on the underside OF the front
tfmber II this extends about half an
inch below the edge Of the timber and
slants forward 1t will help wonder
fully in cutting of the rough points In
the road.
The drag, though simple, Is great
invention. It is "a power for levelins
the roads in winter just after dry
freeze or in the early spring when the
roads begin to dry. BY running the
drag over the road, ruts and horse
tracks will be easily filled. II they
contain water, it will run out ant
away, then the roads will soon be II
coed condition.
The common field harrow, while no
50 good as the drag, is being used ire
ouently for leveling roads. Best re
suits are obtained by using the harrow
v hen the roads are rough, but dry. i
acts as a leveler, but not as a grader
by raking of the clods and bumps
Iulverizing them and filling the de
rressions.
The neighbors in a community, will
the use of the drag and harrow, have
no trouble keeping the roads abou
their farms in very good condition
during most of the year. OF cours'
there are times in rainy seasons whel
the roads must be let alone.

LILLEY MAKES STATEMENT
Says Committee Offered to Compro-
mise Submarine Boat Affair.

Waterbury, Conn, June 3.-Con.
gresham George l.. Lilley, whose res
olution and charges In connection
with the so-called submarine boat
scandal resulted last week in a severe
scoring of the congressman by the
Boutell investigating committee, has
given out a statement on the subject
Incorporated in the statement is let
ter which declares that two weeks
before the report of the committee de-
nouncing Mr. Lilley was made Mr.
Boutell expressed admiration for Lii
ley and endeavored to effect an agree
ment whereby the matter under in
vestigation by the committee might
be compromised The letter in which
this allegation is made is signed "E
w. Reisinger, NJ. D." and was ad-
dressed to Mrs. Lilley after the doctor
had called upon Mr.. Boutell to ex-
plain that Congressman Lilley's ply
steal condition necessitated his leav-
ing the city. The letter adds that
when the proposition of a compromise e
was carried to Mr.. Lilley by DR.. f. w.
that he would rather die than with
draw the charges which he knew
were honest and square. In conclud-
ing his statement Congressman Lilley
says:
"A suggestion that a member of the
house had been annoyed by importuni.
ties of the Electric Boat company can
not rightfully be construed as a charge
against the member. request that
the committee ascertain by impartial
investigation whether improper prac.
tices on the part of the Electric Boat
company had influenced congressional
action is not, in my Judgment, a
charge against members of the house.
I believed and still believe that the
Electric Boat company has received
exces sive profit in the sale of sub
marine boats to the United States gov
ernment"

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value, a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because it's COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup OF Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Uniformed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine ne-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co.. only, and for sale
by oil leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
