The Last Dragging Of the Roads.

The Last Dragging OF the Roads.
Within thirty days we must expect
winter to set in in the central portion
of our territory, earlier north, later
south; we may not know when the
rain comes. To make sure of it,
every man who wants good road
must drag after every rain from now
until it freezes up. He has a choice
of one of two things; smoothing the
road down with the drag, or smooth
ing it by humping over the ruts with
MS wagon. Farmers must take their
choice in this matter. We submit that
it is cheaper to keep the roads smooth
by dragging them after each rain.
than it is to level them by humping
over them with the wagon. If farm
ers could come to an agreement to
rave every road to the nearest town
dragged, there would be no complaint
about bad roads this winter except
in case of snow drifts. If they fail
to do this, there will be complaints.
We are simply warning you of what
will Representatives, Farmer.

The Dairy. Cow.

The dairy COW does more than
bring financial success to the dairy
farmer. She makes him better citi-
zen than he would otherwise be. Her
influence upon home conditions is a
most pleasing contribution to those
factors which are responsible for the
4 changed conditions which prevail in
the farm homes of today. Thousands
of these homes are now character
i lied by comfort and happiness where
formerly they were blighted by un-
happiness and drudgery.
Better financial conditions have con-
tributed to tits change and the dairy
COW has been in no small measure re-
sponsible. She has contributed in
still another way. The dairy COW
teaches kindness. Her owner soon
learns that only by treating her kind
ly can he secure the highest possible
returns from her, and she responds
quickly to kind words and proper
care. Her disposition is one that the
human family might well emulate.
She is patient and long suffering, ac-
quiescing mutely in the arrangements
made by her owner for carrying on
the dairy business, striving at all
! times to repay him for every effort
made for her care and comfort.
The members of the family, as they
come in contact with her and her
kindly disposition, are influenced for
good. As they appreciate the financial
benefit to come from caring for her
we'll they take deeper interest in
her. In doing SO they unconsciously
cultivate those qualities which make
them better citizens.
The dairy cow-the prototype of
mans best friends welding a great
er influence than she is generally
credited with. She has always been
found in the front ranks in the march
of civilization and no agricultural
country can long prosper without her.
She is a potent factor in the upbuild-
ing of such country, financially, and
socially, and wise people will appre-
ciate her and encourage the industry
of which she is the foundation.-The
National Dairy Union.

COMMENTS ON
THE BYRD PLAN
Tentative Primary Bill Is Causing
Quite n Stir Throughout
the tSate.

RIG II MOND, VA. - Special. -
Speaker Byrd is daily receiving
many letters in connection with the
tentative primary bill he has pre-
pared for the consideration of the
next Legislature, and all these COM
munications are being given his care
full attention Some of them fiercely
criticise the bill he has drafted, while
others heartily commend il. Much
adVice-some of il goods being Of
fered, and Mr.. Byrd is only too glad
TO have il.
While the Speaker is not the least
bit dogmatic in his views as to a State
primary, his own Investigations have
led him to the conclusion that unless
the primary system be made compul-
sorry there's no need bothering with
il at all. If it's worth being consid-
cred by the Legislature it is worth
being made compulsory. says he.
Mr. Byrd is opposed to the ma
jority vote plan, where there are more
than two candidates. He thinks the
plurality vote system which now pre-
Vasls in this State, is the right one.
Mr. Byrd doesn't believe that the peo-
pie would stand for Il second election
where the first primary failed to give
any candidate a majority vote. He
says they grumble enough now at
having to vote once and would abso-
lutely refuse To vote q second time.

The State Board Of Health strongly
emphasizes the importance of having
