There is not deficit of $I7,ooo,ooo,

surplus of more than $40, 900, when
the specific loss on free rural delivery is
taken into consideration, and the de-

IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN
+ NORTH DAKOTA HIGHWAYS
No Better Roads Can be Desired Than Those Made Of Earth Whes
They Thoroughly Hard and Dry and Frmed by Traffic

AS the great prairie state of North
Dakota has little or no material from
which to make roads but earth, the
great majority of oNr highways will
always be earth roads. The question
Of good roads in this state, therefore,
SINNERS down largely to considera-
ton Of what can be done to improve
and maintain our earth roads. Most
of the soil types in the state lend
themselves very well to the building
Of good earth roads. In the Red river
valley, for example, no better roads
can be desired than the earth roads
when they are thoroughly hard and
dry and have been smoothed and
firmed down by traffic. In this con-
dition they stand up we'll under the
heaviest traffic and wear so we'll that
but little dust is created. AS soon as
those roads get wet, on the other
hand, they disintegrate very rapidly
and cut up into deep ruts which it
takes weeks and sometimes months Of
traffic to smoother out and overcome.
For this reason our roads are deplor-
ably bad greater part of the year.
In view of these considerations it
becomes an obvious necessity to keep
the roads crowned after rain and
to smoother out the ruts after rain.
For this purpose no better implement
has been devised than the King road
drag. This drag as originally made by
Its inventor was constructed from a
log seven or eight feet long and from
10 to - inches in diameter, and care
fully split down the middle. From the
resulting two slabs drag was made
similar to the one in the figure

able timber from which to make the
drag in this locality. the figure illus
trates an equally serviceable drag
made from planks.
The drag is made from 2 by IL
plank, preferably of oak or some other
hard wood, cut in two at an angle so
that the resulting pieces are 7.6
long on one edge and &C long on
the other. The two planks are placed
as shown in the figure and are rein
forced with by 6 spiked along
their middle as shown in the figure.
Holes are bored through the center
line of the planks with 2h inch
auger and braces two feet by six inch
es long inserted as shown. These
braces may be secured firmly in their
sockets by a wedge key similar to
that used in fastening hammer or
AK on its handle. The by brace
should be mortised into the middle Of
the rear plank and near the lower
edge of the front plank. BY this
scheme the front plank is securely
braced at the point Of greatest strain.
A removable platform, not shown in
the figure, should be laid across the
braces for the operator to stand on
The platform should be made Of open
slatwork, with openings at least one
inch wide, so that dirt which may be
thrown over onto the platform will
rattle through. The share Is merely
a fiat strip of steel or iron fastened
to the front plank by counter-sunk
screws as shown in the figure. In
order to give the share more cutting
power a wedge-shaped strip may be
placed between it's lower edge and the
plank or. better STILL the share may be
taken to blacksmith shop and its
lower edge slightly curved or bent out
ward. One end of the drag chain is
wrapped around the outward brace
stroke while the other passes through
a hole in the front plank. The length
Of the chain should be made readily

adjustable for light or heavy dragging
When much dirt is to be moved
long chain is used while for light
smoothening and leveling short chain
will be found better. The point to
hitch on the chain is so chosen that
the drag follows the horses at an
angle of IS degrees with the wheel
tracks.
The position of the driver on the
platform has also a great deal to do
with the working of the drag. II he
stands close to the front the drag
will cut deep, while II he moves his
weight towards the rear but light work
is done. In this way driver by Shift
ing his weight from end TO end OF
front to back may cut down a high
place. fill in a low hole, or destroy q
crop of weeds as the case may he. 1t
will not take a man Of average intel
ligence long to learn how TO so shift
his weight and alter the L.:ch as to
secure the best results.
The drag can scarcely be used toe
much nor too often. but the best time
to use it is after every rain of sui
icient amount to cause traffic to cut
up the road. II should be used as soon
as possible and while the soil is still
moist The drag will then squeeze
the water out of the soil, leaving a
smooth layer of pudd.ed soil which
bakes hard when dry and becomes re-
markab,y retentive of moisture. Users
of the drag should not become dis
couraged if at first the road does not

1.-THE House Of a Thousand

In this day of the ten cent magazines
with its twenty or SO pages devoted to
New York theatricals, the public
throughout the country is we'll posted
on this particular subject. This one
fact is probably the cause for thegreat
increase in demands for the better class
of plays. and an attraction that is sue

successful in New York and that is now

ran for an entire season withouthaving

namely, The Hackett and Daly's in

In summing up his criticisms on the
performance the dramatic critic on the
New York "Copmercial" said: ''Alto-

:. r~. A Trip to Russia.

No doubt of it, everyone who has

to pay visit and see for themselves
the pomp and splendor Of its upper

its "under dogs" but to those who

lied when the ''For Her Sake" COM
pany appears here on Friday, Nov. 18th.
"For Her Sake" is one Of the most re-
alistic Of present day Russian melo-
dramas. For the past three years this
play has been one of the best thrillers
inMthe melo-d1 1amatic houses of the
cities Of the east, and this is the first
time the piece has ventured:: west of the
Mississippi there is no doubt Of it's
cordial reception. All special scenery
is carried and the play is interpreted

Chorals viii Entertain.

The Singing School, q farce III two
acts, will be presented by the members
Of the Choral Club in Bittman's Hall on
Friday evening, November 25th.
The entertainment will be both in the
nature of q representation and repro
duction Of the singing schools of "The
good old times" and a ''take-off" on
the same. Each act Is Interpreted
with dramatic acting as well as songs.
It,combines the harmonious with the
'ludicrous and in it is mingled, the imag-
inative with the real. While it ls ex-
'tremely humorous, it also arouses the
emotions and touches the finer instincts
of the human heart. To hear and see
it, will surely make the old feel twenty
years younger, and will make the young
.yearn for the return of the "Good old
days 81 the Fathers"
The timely advice Of Mrs. Amanda
Squeeze will alone. be worth the price
of admission. "a pretty girls face"
says she, may be her fortune but a
homely girls face is her chaperone.
Professor P. Percival Pippen is q
master in his art. He leads not by
mere mechanical motions. but with
every rhythmic beat, his very soul
keeps time. Like Creotore, as the
charm comes upon him, music seems to
flow from every fiber of his being and
he seems to rise as if on ethereal
wings, and watt his pupils and his
hearers onward and upward to the
heights.
Squire Grumps will be there too to
thrill his hearers with his matchless
eloqYence. At times he charms his
audience as be rises to the dignity of
the finest oratory. At will he sways
his hearers to laughter or to tears by
the magnetism of his personality, or
again by the roll and swell of his voice,
his listeners stand in awe before the
power of his eloquence.
1t is impossible to describe all of the
characters here. Suffice it to say that
there are nineteen IN all, and as many
brilliant costumes. Among the char
acters may be mentioned, Mr.. JUSTIN
Style, the village twins, Miss Ina and
IRA Kidd, and last but not least, Miss
Vera Swift and Miss Elviry Ketchum,
"Primey Donners'' whom it will surely
be rare treat and privilege to hear.

Mrs. ]. M. Libby. 4t
Ny Sincere Friend: On Wednesday,
October the 26th, 4 lady came aboard
the U. s. S. North Dakota; with her
came four large packing cases. About
hour after her arrival the en-
tire ships company was called to
quarters and marched ait in double file
on the starboard side q the quarter
deck. and there halted u, front Of the
above mentioned lady and the cases.
The latter were opened rp. and each
bluejacket craned his neck in order to
get glimpse Of what they contained.
Just as soon as one was opened the
lady began to serve esch one of us
with handy sewing kit. OF course we
were all pleased with receiving these
and triea hard to show eur appreciation,
but words cannot describe our Joy
when we opened them; up and saw
their contents. I believe that if a
group of women congregated at one
certain house to form afsewing circle
and then seen the outfit given US sailors
free of charge, they would from envy
disown knowing US. Well, that's not
all. In each one of these neatly sewed
bags we all found a letter addressed to
''North Dakota Sailor Boy" from some
kind mother living in the state after
which this ship was named. These
letters were from mothers mostly who
had sons and wished US Just as much
happiness in the future as if we were
one of their family. The one that
had the.honor to get, was from you,
who according to your letter you have
no boy which you can call your own.
You are right about mothers worry
ing about the safety of their son when
he is hundreds of miles to sea. know
this from experience as my mother and
father always write me asking about
my health and wish me the best of
everything. So after reading your
letter thought would answer it tc
show you my appreciation in receiving
the sewing kit also IN your best wishes
to US sailors.
The accident on board was the cause
of three men being killed and clever
injured, but the injured, are gradually
getting well.
Will close now, sending you many
thanks for. your kind note and promis,
to send you some, sow tpostals. froh
