GOOD ROAD DRAGGERS.
ORGANIZATION for Improving Highways
at StnrVron. M.

At SturRPpn. va.
There was loD1 ruaaa crusade
secently started at Sturgeon, Mo.
which Is deserving Of wBrmost praise
f the head Is n farmer. George W
3atterton, who has been on enthu-
last on the subject for the past forty
years and who four years ago decided
i was time TO practice some OF the
principles he had been preaching and
get a good example for his neighborg.
Accordingly he made a drag Of oak
lumber. and TO the edge OF the front
piece he bolted blade of steel, made
by the local blacksmith, which acted
as light scraper to throw the dirt
collected In front of the drag to the
center OF the road. When he Visited
Sturgeon, three miles distant, he at
.aehed this drag TO the rear OF his
wagon or buggy and drf gged TIE roads
both coming and going In this way
e consumed very little more time IN
making the trip to and from town
and In the course OF year mad made
a road which he and the residents
a lHim 10 be superior
to rock roads eleven months In the
he Il 10 time does II be-
come so muddy as TO impair seriously
It's usefulness in hauling heavy loads
over It when 1t is at its worst.
II Is as smooth and hard rs q boule-
ward today, though there were heavy
rpins recently for two days at stur-
geon and IN It's vicinity. Mr.. Batter
ton is so afflicted with rheumatism
ae can hardly walk still he has made
three miles Of country boulevard
practically with his own efforts In
four years.
With this inspiring example as an
incentive the business men OF Sturg-
con and the farmers OF the country
got together a few days ago and or
ganized a brotherhood OF good road
draggers, all agreeing to follow the
example of attaching a drag to the
vehicles In which they drive about
on ordinary business. Several auto
mobists promised to hitch the drag
tleir motor cars. Bankers, farm
ers, doctors, gardeners. lawyers, mer-
chants and hucksters propose to CO.
operate end devote I emselves for
one year In making and maintaining
GOOD roads, no matter what else may
hapDen. Dragging Is the best, simp-
lest and least expensive method to
obtain good roads. There Is nothing
which will add so much TO the pros
perity and general advancement OF
the communities as good roads," as
serts one enthusiast sounding the
keynote of the brotherhood. This
should be an example for other com
munities to follow. What has been
done can be done, and the best has
neyer yet been attained In any phase
OF life. The Missouri enthusiasts
have started great work They de-
serve not only praise, but that iInt-
tation which is the sincerest form Of
flattery.
