The Split-LOg Drag.

The persistent use of the split-log drag
for improving dirt roads by James H.
Alcorn, of Cherrytree township, is COM
mencing to bear fruit. He has used the
drag on piece of road west of Gresham
for the last two or three years in proper
manner and at the right time. His claims
for the drag are that it will give the peo-
pie the use of a good road from the time
the frost goes out 10 the spring ofthe year
until fall rains set in. That will be 100
per cent. better than under the present
system and at half the cost of mainte-
nance and that the farmers can work out
their road tax little at time as the road
needs 1t, when the soil on their farms il
too wet to plow, plant or cultivate. 1 had
talk with some of the Cherrytree farm
ers that used both the farm aud split-log
drsgs in improving their roads aud they
speak in high praise OF both methods.
Three or four farmers on the Spring
Creek road in Oilcreek township had a
very limited experience last year with
borrowed split-log drag near Sloadale.
They were so pleased with its work that
they made two of their own and used
them in very limited way this spring
over piece of road, once with both drags
from the Weed horse barn to the G. w.
Incl farm. The improvement was so
great that it was praised by everyone that
saw it. Unfortunately 1t rained all the
next day and heavy teaming practically
wiped out the result OF our work. Hav-
ing no encouragement from the super
visors to continue the work, we dropped
work on all except piece of road from
the Sloan brook to the c. W. Incl farm,
which we are occasionally going over
with our drags. 1t can speak for itself.
The split-log drag is preferable to the
farm drag for the reason that it rounds up
the road, inviting the water to go into the
ditch. The farm drag and float leaves
the road fiat.
With our limited experience we are pre-
pared to endorse what Mr.. Alcorn and the
Cherrytree farmers say about the drag.
The Rural New Yorker OF March % and
also of April l5 gives illustrated instruc-
tions how to make and use the split-log
drag. These drags, as described by the
Rural New Yorker, can be made by any
person having their own timber for not
to exceed 81 apiece or less, outside their
own labor.
Any person not having drag to look
at can get plans from the United States
Department OF Agriculture, Washington,
d. c., Farmers Bulletin, No. 32l. 1t
describes the use OF the drag as we'll as its
construction. A postal card will bring it.

DISCOURAGED because he is not able to
do manual labor, Andy 10th, who a
month or two ago was pardoned from the
penitentiary after he had served 20 years
of a life sentence for crime he did not
commit, asked Warden John Francis to
allow him to return to the Western peni-
tentiary, there to spend the remaining
days of his life. When 10th was released
from the penitentiary reports had it that
Andrew Carnegie, having been touched
by the story of Toth's misfortune, would
pension him. Friends in Pittsburg also
expressed their willingness to help. Up
to date he received only S4s. His health
is rapidly falling and physicians say that
hard work would kill him.

RECENT DEATHS.
PARKER.


Harlo Case Parker. one of the oldes
residents Of Fagundus, this county, dice
on Sunday last quite suddenly. The de-
ceased had not been in robust health since
sustaining an injury many years ago
while working at boating oil in the pslmy
days OF the Oil Creek excitement. He
had been resident at Fagundus since
1865, or thereabouts, and witnessed the
rise and fall of that wonderful oil field,
and his death is like the passing of an old
landmark. Mr. Parker was aged about
II years, and besides his widow, is sur
vived by four sons and four daughters.
MAUK.
Mrs. Margaret p. Mauk, a former resi-.
dent of this vicinity, died at the Frank
lin hospital Saturday evening last, aged
20 years. she was residing with her son
at Franklin when oyertaken by illness
and had gone to the hospital for treat
ment. She was the daughter of Michael
and Isabella Elder Dunkle. Her hus-
band has been dead many years. She is
survived by the following children:
Mrs. Andrew Carr, Willis and Alice
Mauk, of franklin; Samuel, of Piltsburg;
Frank, of Kellettville; Mrs. Herb. Reed,
of Strattsnville; Mrs. Edward Byers, of
Tionests township, and Mrs. John Smith,
Of Scotch Hill, Pa. Funeral services
were conducted Monday afternoon at the
home of her son, Buffalo street, Frank
lin, by Rev. II. f. Hetrick.
TAFT.
stephen TAFT died suddenly at the home
of his son Herbert, at Endeavor, Thurs
day, April %, 1911, aged II years. He
had been attending his usual duties dur
ing the day when he sustained a slight
parslytic stroke. This was soon followed
by another and he was assisted to his
sons hone and a physician was sum-
moned, but another stroke during the
night carried him away. Mr.. Taft had
lived in Hickory township for nearly
fifty years, with the exception OF a few
intervals fshort duration, one which he
spent in Tionesta. his employment
usually consisted of team work at which
he was an expert, and he was an accom-
plished horsemSn. Whatever he under
took to do with team, 10 the lumber
woods or on the road, he did we'll and to
the entire satisfaction of his employer.
Although man of few words and these
always right to the point, he was a good
hearted, companionable man who bad
many friends. He is survived by three
sons and one daughter, namely, Herbert
o. of Endeavor, John of East Hick ory,
William of Kane, and Mrs. VIM. Atwell
of Washington state. Two brothers, John
and James Taft, also survive. His wife

Saturday afternoon. followed by inter-
ment in the East Hickory cemetery.

THE Punxsutawney Spirit has hit up
on an idea, as it usually does along the
spring time of the year, to the effect that,
in case the excise bill becomes law, the
function of granting liquor licenses
should be vested in the board of county
commissioners. AS rule these officials
have about all the trouble they ought to
have to satisfy their constituency in the
administration of public affairs and to
impose this additional burden upon them
would hardly be fair, so we'd suggest, in
the interest of harmony, and because OF
their peculiar aptitude in discerning Just
what the people want and ought to have,
that the editors of the state be made, ex-
officio, license granters or refusers, as the
case may be. We have no doubt these
men could handle the question to the en-
tire satisfaction If all the people all the
time, and thus one of the burning ques
tions of the day would be settled at one
fell swoop. As suggestion we offer
this one for what it's worth, and If you
can beat, or even tie 1t, we'd be tickled
TO bear 1t,
