tain a macadam road Is feet wide,
the estimate being based on data OBJ
tanned from the state of Massachu-
sets. OF course, it may be neces-
sary in the case of the dirt roads
in some localities to supply some
sort of hard surfacing other than the
soil of which the road is composed,
but where this is necessary it may
usually be found near at hand and
put on without much expense.
Mr.. King, the inventor of the drag,
says: There are three things abso-
lutely necessary in order to have a
perfect earth road. Now, it doesn't
make any difference which one of
these things | mention first, because
they are, as near as | can tell, all of
equal Importance. You cannot take
any one of the three away without
destroying the road in the end. These
things are smoothness, hardness and
conN exity. 1t must be hard, smooth
and oval. If it is not oval, it will
soon go to pieces. 1t may be oval,
smooth and not hard, and you know
how they are when there is about a
foot or two feet of soft earth in the
middle of them; when it is compara-
lively smooth and not hard. If you
have them smooth and not hard, they
won't stay in order Under all cir
cumstances they should be given the
three qualities. The reasons why we
have not had these qualities in our
roads before are two; one is, we did
not know these qualities would bring
results; the other is we didn't know
these qualities could be given except
by the use of expensive means. BY

very cheap way of improving the
roads.
In relation to the King drag and
the cost of using it, Mr.. Foster re-
Gently said before an Iowa farmers
institute:
The road drag is the only i'm
plement yet invented which, at a
moderate expense, enables us to keep
the roads smoothed up so that the
water will run off of them A road
that is regularly dragged becomes
hard. If a road is built with a drag,
it is hard from top to bottom. The
drag is one of the best road builders,
and it builds the road right. You
drag in little dirt each time, the
travel packs it down. In little
while your road is crowned up and
you have the three conditions essen
tial to a perfect dirt road; you have
conveXity, hardness and smoothness.
The grade is hard from top to bot
tom. A heavy rain on this kind of
road will flow off Immediately. A
drizZling, continuous light rain
of a day or two will make some mud.
Ordinarily, to be sure, it is best to
use the drag when the soil is moist
but not sticky. Don't be in a hurry
to build a high grade. Obtain
smooth, hard foundation and then
build on it gradually"

An Electrical Meditation,

How doth the busy little Volt i'm
prove each shining hour He travels
on the d. c. line and gives the people
power And when he meets the lit
tie ohm, it's standing in his way; he
sends an ampere in his place and
stays and wins the day. And when
he's done his daily tasks and made
the motor go, like chickens, home
to roost( he hikes back to the dyna-
mo. Or perhaps he takes the A. c.
line because he thinks it pays, and
takes his family along, and when we
have phase, and if they meet along
the line Henry or a Faraday, they
treat him as they did the ohm. For
which we should be glad; for if the
busy little volt, did not work both
day and night, where would we get
our kilowats and our electric light.

The Log ROad-Drag
Simple Lessons in Good Road Max
ing That Are Valuable.

ing iidt -iiC NludDIt.
The state of Iowa is supplying a
lesson in good roads which may well
be learned all over the country.
Some time last spring, Hon. Lafay-
ette Young, elitor of the Des Moines
Daily Capital, together with the edi-
tor OF the good roads department of
that paper, issued a call for a meet
ing to promise a good highway en-
tlrely across the state from Council
Bluffs on the one side to Davenport
on the other, distance of $50 miles.
1t was attended by representatives
from all the counties through which
the road passes, who elected Off
GERS, appointed committees and eff
fected most perfect organization,
the purpose of which was to build,
or more properly speaking, to main
tain, this stretch of dirt road by the
use of the King road drag. For years
sections of this road had been kept
up in a haphazard, disconnected
way, sufficient, however, to demon
strate the efficiency and cheapness of
the King drag method, but this was
the first time that systematic effort
had been made upon a large scale
and in such manner as to give wide
publicity to its economy and effective
ness.
But this harvest of results did not
ensue without previous tilling of the
soil of public sentiment. During the
December previous, John w. Foster,
president of the Citizens Bank of
Guthrie Center, who is a pioneer cru
sader in the good roads cause, wrote
a letter, which was published in the
Daily State Capital, and attracted
wide attention. In it he stated that
drainage is really the basis of the
good road system. He said: keep
the road gently rounded up in the
middle, keep the surface smooth by
the use of the drag after rain storms,
when the surface is soft and pliable,
prevent the cutting up of the surface
by narrow tired wagons hauling
heavy loads, and keep up this care
long enough to allow the top crust to
become hard and firm, and the prob
lem is solved" All that is the ne
cessary is to give the road slight at
tention and it will keep in shape. In
relation to the water that destroys
roads, Mr.. Foster said there are two
kinds to contend with-surface wa
ter and ground water. The ground
water, which is the least trouble
some, can be taken care of perman-
emily by tiling. But in the case of
surface water, the case is different,
and this must be cared for by con-
stant care of the road surface.
The road across Iowa was built
and is maintained by the King drag,
at a cost of approximately SO per
mile per year.
According to statistics published by
the department of agriculture, it
costs 800 year per mile 10 main

out advertising. 1t multiplies hu-
man wants, intensifies human de-
sires, makes fashions, encourages
constant change, leads people to
dress better, to build better homes,
to furnish them in better taste and
20 make them more comfortable and
sanitary.
Advertising leads people to indulge
in luXuries in their homes and so
raise the standard of living as to
make what are luXuries in one de-
CaGe necessities in the next.
Advertising encourages the eating
of pure foods, the drinking of better
teas, cotfees and cocoas.
Advertising stimulates the desire
for better apparel, thus creating
demand that would not otherwise
exist, increasing production, and at
the same time elevating the taste and
culture of the community.
Advertising creates a desire for
beautiful and substantial furnishings,
thus educating the people to know
the historical significance of various
designs and color schemes, and lead
ing them to furnish homes artistical-
ly, harmoniously and intelligently,
and through this refining them.
Advertising has led the masses to
put into their homes splendid musi-
cal instruments, thus advancing the
taste for good music to an extent
that would not have been accom-
plished otherwise. Any man who
declares disbelief in advertising
writes himself down a derelict.
There are those who profess not
to believe in advertising, but with
most of these it is a matter of money
false economy, often practised to
the detriment of the business or pro-
fession they are in.
The Spirit of Advertising.
That spirit we call patriotism, or
civic pride, which leads us to make
our cities more beautiful, comfort
able and anitary-superior to others
is prompted by the desire to have
the city admired and favorably talk
ed about, which is really the desire
for advertising.
1t was the advertising spirit that
created the great Prudential Build
ings and the tall Firemen's Build
ing. 1t was this that built the Singer
Tower, and the Metropolitan Tower.
Business buildings are made magni-
iNSht oiNhlISNluldl dllyB anu III lul6IlOT
appointments, almost wholly for ad-
Vertising purposes. Banks are made
to look massive and ornate that they
may impress the beholders with
their solidity. Theatres are made
beautiful-not for arts sake, but
for advertising. Railroad stations
are made grand-not to facilitate
traffic nor for comfort, but for ad-
yertising. Cathedrals are erected
not wholly to the glory of God, but
that they may impress those with
out with the sublimity of the spirit
within.
l do not doubt that the Pyramids
of Egypt were built for an advertis-
ing purpose.
1t is the advertising spirit that
builds our magnificent statehouses,
city halls, court houses and parks.
1t is this that gives us our fine
schools, our splendid fire depart
ments, our superior water supply.

Goinu Too Far,

Along "A country road walked a man
and woman. The latter, a gaunt, stern
faced female, was bullying the meek
little fellow, who trudged just in front
of her with downcast head Suddenly
the woman, turning, saw bull racing
down the road behind them She
quickly took refuge in the hedge, but
her companion, unconscious of aught
but his woes, kept on his way The
bull caught up to him and sent him
spinning into muddy ditch, then con-
tinued on its wild career. AS the Woe
begone figure crawled out of the mire
he saw his better half coming toward
him. Plucking up a little spirit, he
whimpered, MN Maria, if you hit me
like that a-g-g-gain you'll really get my
temper up, so / warn you."
