at n meeting of the parish superln-

several of the small rural schools into

A meeting of the superintendent
was held Dec. II, 1907. at which the
subject of road Improvement was ear
ncstly discussed The result Of the
discussion was the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution, says the Good Roads
Magazine:
"RccOgnizlng the Improvement of
our schools depends upon tho building

further recognizing that 1t Is the func-

sense OF this conference that those
who are directly responsible for the
management of our schools should give
more serious attention to the problem
of road building. and In accordance with
this belief we recommend that the sub

odorIe,s and puDtIoss Roada.

Consul Il. II. Norton. writing to the
state department from ChemnitS, Ger
many, says that Saxon firm has IN
troduced a road binding composition
which has been tried on the macadam-
lied streets OF leipzig and other places
with much success. The material Is
thus described:
1t Is a mixture Of the heavier resid-
ual oils obtained In the distillatlon OF
coal tar with high boiling hydrocar-
bons. The method OF mixing apparent
~ involves certain degree of chem
ical combination, in which phenol and
similar constituents play a role. The
manufactured material Is prepared for
use by heating In iron caldrons, idcn-
teal with those used for asphalt, to
temperatures ranging from 212 to 24S
degrees II. 900 to 120 o.. 1t Is then
sprayed evenly over the surface OF n
roadway with a special form OF APP
paratus and under such high pressure
that the fuId mass penetrates to GER
tain distance into the upper layer OF
dust or dirt. The result Is the formn-
ton Of a compact lustrous black coat
ing which meets the demands of heavy
traffic and is not disintegratcd into
dust particles. A marked advantage OF
the new process over the methods hith-
erto employed for the same purpose
and based upon the use of ordinary
tar Is the total absence of odor after
the application.

this. being made OF three loads of rub

half loads of gravel at cost per mile
OF $1,120. There Is not one farmer
that kicks on account Of the cost of
these roads. The kick is on tho other
side or because We do not have more
of them.
The north part of our township
(south Of Rockford) is very sandy, and
doubt II the road drag would do
any good there. Here the soil is DIFF
rcrcnt, and the drag works NIL right.

use OF the road drag, as think 1t
fine thing, but where stone and gravel
are plentiful say use them and make

ROAD DRAGGING.
How the inventor Of tho King Drag
Discovered His Method.

How the Inventor of tho King Drag
Discovered His Method.
ID. Ward King of Maitland, Mo-. In
yentor of the King method of rond
dragging. hns theory which practice
has demonstrated TO be correct. 1t is
that all clay and gumbo roads should
be Dragged with light drag after each
raln or wet SPELL The drag smooths
down tho rough places and nlls up the
ruts When the sun dries up the road
Il leaves a roadbed as smooth and per
feet as city street.
The discovery of this method and the
more important discovery of Mr.. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on n small but well improved
farm near Maitland. He was not par
ticularly interested In the good ROAD
movement as n national or state issue.
but tho 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 10
the wagon wheels In great Jumps and
dry weather Is as hard az rock and
almost as Injurious to wagon tires.
Passing wagons In wet weather would
dig deep ruttI. and when the road dried
nm the ruts would remain. AT best the
road was vsso poor. Many times when
wheat WAS selling at good price and
AfE. King had many bushels OF 1t the
road would be SO bad that lie could
not haul 1t to the market and when
the road finally became passable the
~ lou
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 II, and when
tho 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 ncighbors 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 1t up,
and In few months tbo ROAD from hls
farm to Maitland was as good as any
In Missouri
George Is. 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 neIgllborhood. He accepted, and,
being an enthusiast on tho subject, he
made several converts. He was en-
gagged for 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.

road workers Is increasing every week
