"Ain't 1t The Truth?'

The editor of a newspaper is often
accus d of leaving out certain items of
news purely because of dislike of the
person to be mentioned, or from preju-
dice or another cause. This is all hosh.
The editor has something like mil
lion different things to think of in
connection with the issue of one paper,
and it is not surprising if he misses an
item occasionally, or sometimes for
gets one which has been called to his
attention. Nine times out of ten people
you ask for news items will tell you
they can't think of any. But in most
cases they expect the editor to think of
them all, and criticise him If he fails in
single item. The best way is to give
the editor credit for what he does find
and mention or some things he finds and
doesn't mention. -Breathitt county

They Are Becoming Important Owing
to Increase of Automobile Traffic.
Until recently the location of high
ways has been governed more by
grade than by alignment. For obvious
reasons horse drawn vehicles demand
ed easy grades. but were little affected
/ by sharp curves. Consequently roads
were so laid out as to meet this re-
quirement. being made to wind around
hills and follow tortuous water
courses with little attempt to provide
curves of long radii. The result is a
highway system which. except in level
country, is composed of crooked roads.

ORIGIN OF THE SPLIT LOG.
Novel Manner In Which Farmer De.
vised Scheme For Dragging Roads.

A few years ago a Missouri farmer
many n farmer has been before and
since that time. with the condition Of
the highway between his farm and the
neighboring village. He studied the
situation and one day devised a rude
continuance to smooth the rough places
and round up the surface from the
ditch to the center so as to drain of
the water.
1t was a simple affair, made of log
split into two equal parts, few braces
between them, and chain by which
the horses hauled the drag with him
upon It, He tried it after rain when
the road was soft. and it worked so
we'll that its fame and the fame Of the
improved road spread through the
neighborhood and thence far and wide.
That was the modest beginning, and
now the split log drag. which any
farmer or road commissioner can make
in few hours. is revolutioniZing the
methods of maintaining dirt roads
methods which have always been noto-
riOusly expensive and ineffective. The
drag was not patented, and its in
ventor, with nothing to sell and only
as a good roads enthusiast, has toured
the country telling gatherings Of farm
ers. road commissioners and local Off.
Gals the marvellous results both in i'm.
mediate Improvement and in the SUBJ
sequent cheapness of maintenance ac.
complished in the middle west, where
the drag is now in general use. In
deed. in one state. Iowa. its use on all
country roads is now required by leg
islative enactment.
The great value of good roads to the
agricultural interests of the country
is appreciated everywhere. A compar-
atively small mileage of the roads can
be surfaced with crushed stone or
gravel and in the cheap and effective
maintenance of the prevailing dirt
roads the device. primitive in appear
ance, made from a split log and back
ed by the energy of an intelligent
western farmer, promises to be most
important agent.

South to Build Highways.

Eight hundred miles of improved
roads are to be undertaken by the
Southern Appalachian Good Roads as
ISOLATION. OF these 800 miles are to
be in North Carolina. Poor roads are
said to cost that state $10,0O0,0OO a
year. An enormous number of tour
lists go to the southern Appalachian
region, but because of the poorness OF
the highways In general they see but
a small portion OF It. The great sys-
