FARMERS TO HEAR
D. WARD KING
Discoverer Of spIit-Los Road Drag
viii Appear In keokuk Nov.
and Everyone Invited to
Hear Him.
SOMETHING ABOUT HIM
While He Lived for twenty-five
Years on Farm, Nevertheless
the Inventor is City Born
and Bred.

Hundreds Of farmers Of this sec
ton are becoming interested in the
visit of D. Ward King, famous as the
inventor OF the King Road Drag, who
will appear in Keokuk on the after
noon Of November 1 at the Lee
County court house. The meeting will
convene at two o'clock and all farm
ers are invited to attend.
D. Ward King, the discoverer OF
the split-log drag has been widely ad.
vertised as farmer. He has lived
for over twenty-five years on the
farm which he improved from the ma.
tive prairie sod and he lives there
yet Moreover, Mr.. King is an en-.
thusiast on farming and on the de
lights and advantages Of farm life.
But 1t is not so generally known
that the famous road-maker is city
born and bred. We listened with
much surprise to Mr.. King when in
conversation the other day he told us
that until he had attained his major
fly he had never put collar on a
horse or washed his face out of doors.
Mr.. King was obliged to give up
city life and move to the farm while
young man for the sake OF his
health which was slipping away from
him In the city's less invigorating at
mosphere and environments.
Fully cognizant of his ignorance,
and naturally cautious he began his
farming by consulting with the best
and most successful farmers in his
vicinity, tested the advice and expert
mented on his own account
To this fact Mr.. King attributes the
discovery of a number OF innovations
the result of an open mind and an In
vestigating spirit, of which log road
dragging is one.
The man who Is raised on the
farm says Mr.. King, is prone to d.
things as his father did, who perhap.
took pattern from tho young mans
grandfather. While in my case I hat
to learn and 1t seemed natural tt
try to select the best methods"
Mr.. King is also an expert horse
man and lectures on the management
OF horses. He has evolved method
OF breaking colts by which they ar,
brought under control and can b.
hitched up and driven without bein
haltered or bridled. He says it is a
simple as road dragging and almos
as hard to believe as road draggin
was four or five years ago.
Some of us have wondered how
farmer could satisfy the wide rang
OF audiences faced by Mr.. Kine
audiences in the school houses of tn
country districts and others in tn
luxurious club rooms of great cities
the mystery is explained when W
know OF his life history.

COMM SSIONER ABBOTT
SENDS OUT INSPECTORS.

Commissioner j. S. Abbott, of the
state food and dairy department, has
sent inspectors to large number of
cities in the state with instructions
to follow wagons, weigh ice delivered
to customers and make full report
upon weight as compared with what
the customers pay for No doubt
Bryan will be visited, as many COM
plants have been made to the office
of the Commercial Club, and possibly
some complaints have been sent to
Austin.
1t would be a sigma on Bryan to
have it go out to the world that
wholesale prosecution for short weight
ice had been successful, but if an in
spector were to visit Bryan and find
the condition such as it is represented
to the secretary, this would be the
case. The penalty is from $25 to 5000
fine for each violation.

Red River to Gulf.

The Red river to the gulf highway
is not only attracting attention all
over the state where counties along
the line or near enough wish to build
loops or connections, but from the
states north of us. hTe Nebraska COM
mercial organizations have now a plan
in view to make the road highway
from Canada to the gulf, and propose
to build a road south to connect at the
Red river with the Texas road, and
north to the Canada line. If these
roads are put through every county in
the state will endeavor to have line
of good roads connecting with the
main central line, thus in few years
there will be network of good roads
all over the country, which will be of
inestimable value to every line of in
dustry, and especially to the farming
industry, which, after all. is the foun-
dalton of all industry. Nacogdoches
Daily Sentinel.
Now that the pathfinders have come
and gone in traversing the proposed
route for the great highway across
Texas, and have published the fact
that they have come and gone, it is
but natural sequence of that trip
that talk OF good roads should abound
in all counties and communities
through which the proposed route is
to run and in those near enough to
build loops and connections. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that the effects of
this trip will be more lasting than a
lot of talk 1t is to be hoped that these
and communities will get
busy, vote bonds and start work of
at once. In this connec-
ton it might be added that the idea
Of highway from Canada to the gulf
IS not bad, and is worthy of the push
and perseverance of those living along
his route to see such a highway an
accomplished fact.-Galveston News.

KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

King Georges threat to nominate
enough new peers to control the house
OF lords in favor of the plans of his
ministry Is a reminder that this is not
the first time the king and the people
have stood together against aristoc-
racy. King John led the attack on
special privilege at Runnymede. DIAL
las Times-Herald.
Citing King John as leader in
an attack on special privileges is
simply preposterous. He was one
of the most tyrannical as well as
the weakest of the Plantagenets. The
expressions and exactions of this das-
tardly sovereign caused the English
barons (not the common people) to
form confederacy against him which
forced him to sign magma charta
which Is the foundation of the British
constitution. This great charter in its
original form was grating of Norman
feudalism on the institutions of King
Alfred and Edward the Confessor. It
was designed to protect the rights of
the nobility, and only incidentally safe
guarded the interests of the common
people
