THE ROAD DRAG.
Some Suggestions as to its Use to OBJ
tain the Best Results.

The season for road dragging is
now approaching; in fact considerable
dragging has already been done where
conditions have admitted. While
the King drag is becoming we'll
known in this vicinity, there are
many points about it whcih are not SO
thoroughly known as they should be
for obtaining satisfactory results.
The Missouri State Board of Agri
culture some time ago prepared a
pamphlet giving instructions on this
subject, some of the points taken up
being as follows:
1st. The length of the chain,
which is regulated by slipping it
backward or forward through the hole
in ditch end of drag. The length of
the chain regulates the hold taken on
the ea1th. To make the chain longer
is equivalent to putting weight on
the drag. If your drag is too heavy
shorten the chain.
I'd. The position of the snatch
hook, which attaches the doubletrees.
To move much dirt or cut small
weeds hitch the hook close to the
ditch end of the drag and stand as
nearly on the end of the front slab
as is safe. Drive very slowly when
thus hitched. This one hitch seems
tc be the hardest to learn. The
others suggest themselves.
Sd Position of the driver on the
drag. To move dirt see above. In
a soft spot stand on rear slab. On a
hard spot stand on front slap and
drive slowly. If the drag clogs with
straw, weeds, sod or mud, step to a
point as far as you can get from ditch
end of the drag. To drop dirt in
low place step quickly from ditch end
to other extreme. To fill low place
or mud hole nicely is the severest test
of skill with drag. 1 suspect you
will become thoroughly disguised
when you first make the effort, but
remember 1T will not be the fault Of
the drag if you fail.
4th. Presence or absence and
sharpness or dizziness of the steel.
The steel may project half an inch be-
low the wood at the ditch end of the
steel, but should come up flush with
the wood at other end of the steel.
After clay or gumbo road has been
dragged four or FIVE years the soil be
comes so tough and putty like that
one must study it closely to know
what to do Somestimes use sharp
steel edge (bored in both sides of
steel so that 1 can turn it upside
down and use same bolt holes. and
sometimes the plain wood. This can
be learned only by experience and you
have several years in which to study
the problem.
1t will be understood, of course by
every reader, that experience counts
for just as much in educating men to
properly drag roads as in any other
line There are some men who
naturally become more expert in
certain kinds of work than others, but
to do good road dragging requires an
artist, just as much as it does in
many other lines of work. 1t is a
job that is not nearly so simple as
might be supposed.

CHAFF FOR THE PRESIDENT.
In Song Sung at Amateur Perform
ance In a Washington Theater.


ance In a Washington Theater.
When President Taft and Mrs. Taft
went to the Belasco theater at Wash
ington the other night to witness the
production of an amateur society show
given for charity they saw a play
which was a musical comedy entitled
"About Thebes.' The book was writ
ten by Mrs. A. @. Barney, who man.
aged the affair. Many society people
were present. Mr.. Taft was the sub
ject of a good deal Of funmaking on
the part of a dozen pretty girls, par
Elephants in the comedy, who stretched
out their arms in supplication to the
president and sang a song, part OF
which went as follows:
Can't we call you Bill now that you're
president?
Can't we call you Bill now any more?
AS we see you riding by with your head
held up so high
Can't we greet you as in days OF yore!
Can't we stroke your hand and say, 'Hel-
To- BilI?''
Will you turn us down and pass us DER?
Are you really quite intent on the Mis-
ter President?"
Tell us, can't we call you Bill now any
more?
The verses Of the song were sung by
Mrs. Joseph M. Stoddard of Washing
ton, who wrote it, and the pretty girls
who asked Mr.. Taft to let them call
him "BilI' were helped out in the
chorus by the entire company, which
was assembled on the stage at the
time
