For Good DIRT Roads.

A remarkable article and a series OF
remarkable illustration appear in the
Technical World Magazine for Octo-
ber on the making Of good dirt roads
by use of the King Drag. The story
is written by Mr.. D. Ward King him
self, who has become famous as the
inventor of the splitlog drag and the
system of dragging by his method.
Mr.. King has nothing to sell and is
purely and simply good-roads mis-
sionary, who has made a great dis
covery and wants everybody to benefit
by it. He works with the public road
com mission and with farmers
associations all over the United States
explaining his methods, which have
adopted as widely as advertised. The
success secured by the adoption OF
this method has been extraordinary,
and roads imperious to water can be
made on practically. any soil. The
pittures with which Mr.. King illus
trated his article prove that he has
accomplished things which have been
considered by other road makers
almost If not quite impossible. The
article is one OF the most complete
and best expositions of Mr.. King s
work which has appeared and will be
read with deep interest by every one
who is at all concerned with the i'm
prOvement of American roads.

Was There Ever Such u Drama?

Lieut.. Peary is about to meet the
greatest Disappointment OF his life.
His jubiliant message came promptly
by wireless, telling that he had found
the North Pole and placed there the
stars and stripes. Homeward he is
making bis way, filed with the ex-
ultation that musb come with his re-
lization that he has at last succeeded
after three failures. Ever since the
time when he stood at the north
ermost extremity of the earth, though
out his laborous journey back to
civilization, Lieut.. Peary, we can
imagine, has been happy in the
thought that he is the first human
being to put his feet upon the North
Pole.
What was his astonishment, his
chargin, to find upon coming nearer
to his native home, that another had
preceded him; that even before he be-
gan his dash to the pole, another had
reached the coveted spot.
No finer drama in tragedy-or shall
we say comedy was ever enacted
with the whole world as stage and
audience than this return of the sec
Ond explorer to find the North Pole,
in utter ignorance OF the fact that the
distinction he had believed for months
to belong to him, is the property of
another. If bitter thoughts now and
again cross the mind of this disap-
pointed man, they will be made more
bitter, prehaps, by the fact that DR..
Cook learned what he knows of the
artic region from Peary himself. 1t
were as If world famed actor we're
cheated of his greatest triumph by an
understudy.
So far as this generation is concern
ed and, probably history as we'll, Lieu.
Peary's achievement will lose nothing
by the fact of which he was ignorant,
that rival was first at the pole.
Peary's exploit was none the less
marvellous, 1t required not wit less
of ingenuity or courage or endurance,
because it chanceo some one else was
first to preform the feat. His own
| path lay unbroken before him.
The United States was proud when
it was heralded to the world that a
Yankee had found the North Pole.
| Now we will be doubly proud that 1t
is known that the two Americans
| were both first to reach the point
hitherto inaccessible to the undaunt-
ed of the whole world. Falls

Bee Inspector Syverud

Parker New Eva:-State Bee Inspec-
tor L. A. Syverud Of Canton, and his
assistant, A. K. DeJong of Parker,
have recently been busy inspecting
the bees and hives in this section.
The new law makes it the duty of the
inspector to inspect the bees and at
the owners expense when three bee
keepers of neighborhood request
him to inspect. 1t is also the duty of
beekeepers to have their hives in con-
venient places for the inspector to
inspect them. II the inspector has
reason to believe the bees are diseased
by foul brood he may cause them and
the hives and combs to be destroyed.
The law carries a penalty of not less
than s25 for anyone selling or giving
away diseased bees, ETC., and double
that amount of penalty for anyone re-
sisting or disobeying the inspector.
