TRANSFORMED THE ROAD
From One OF the Worst To a Prize
Winner, By Using Split :. :.
Log Drag.

If our present road engineer were worth
one cent instead of being an obstructing
expense of $500 year to Cecil county,
there is no reason why the following,
which is tale Of what is being done Just
over the line in Lancaster county, could
not be said of the dirt roads here:
Transformed from one of the worst
roads in the township to winner of the first
prize though the sole agency OF the split
log drag IS the interesting history Of the
section of road that secured for Abram l.
Lands the highest fonors in the recent
road inspection in East Lampeter. The
surprising improvement OF the road in his
charge at minimum ofexpense, although
revelation to the judges, has been dupli-
Gated on many other roads where the
drag has been applied and accounts for
the universal popularity of the drag
method of maintaining the earth roads.
Before the crag was placed on Mr..
Lands stretch of road in March 1910 the
road throughout its 2.oo6 feet of length
was followed in the middle and one con-
tinuous series of mudholes. dangerous
ruts and clogged side bitches. No road
Iscraper has gone over the road since that
time and nothing has been used upon it
but the drag. The total time consumed
in dragging the road during the first year
was thirty-6ve hours. East Lampeter
pays its road drag section foremen at the
rate of forty cents per hour, so that the
total cost for dragging that section of road
for the year was fourteen dollars. So
jealous was Mr.. Lands to raise the crown
of the road with the drag that at one
time he had it crowned too much; but by
dragging from the middle outward to the
side bitches he was able to get more
gradual and even shape in his roadway.
As matter of pride on the morning of
the inspection he placed an ordinary field
roller on the road to give it some finishing
touches. When viewed by the judges it
was an almost perfect boulevard, and an
eloquent testimonial to the effectiveness
of the split-log drag.-Quarryville Sun.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

There is widespread idea that Wash.
iugton is depopulated city during the
summer. Its normal population is over
three hundred thousand, and it is prob
able that the summer population Of 1917,
owing to the fact that Congress is in
session, is not less than this number.
Washington has become great center
for conventions, whether religious, in
dustrial. social or what not. They come
here in great numbers and there is of
course no city on this side of the globe
where visitors can see as much or enjoy
themselves as well as at the capital The
railroads bring large numbers of excur-
sionists to the city in the summer-people
who are on their way to the seashore and
who are glad to avail themselves Of an
opportunity to see the national capital at
minimum expense. Fully rs per cent.
of the resident population remain here
through the summer months and those
who take it for granted that Washington
is dull at this season are mistaken. Am.
bassador Bryce of England said in re-
cent address that Washington enjoys the
distinction of being the most beautiful
city in the world through its multitude of
public buildings, its wide shaded streets
and in its symmetry Of plan. 1.-THE most
beautiful capital of its kind the world has
ever seen," is. believe, the exact
language used by the ambassador. The
words "of its kind" areof course limiting.
The Ambassador is a cosmopolitan as we'll
as diplomat, and he no doubt weighs
his words and is careful in his statements.
There are of course many other cities, not
only in Europe and Asia, but also in
America that go far beyond Washington
in wealth and in architectural effects, but
with Ambassador Bryce's Limitation, ''the
most beautiful capital of its kind"
his statement will perhaps defy criticism.
The cities OF the world with regard to
population and in the order of their big
ness are London, New York, Paris,
Tokyo, Chicago, Vienna, Berlin, st.
Petersburg, Philadelphia and Moscow. 1t
will be-seen that three of the largest as
well as next to the largest are in the
United States. and it is predicted that
within thirty years New YORK will be the
largest city in the world. It is, however,
bumptious to boast of big cities, and the
excess of city population is believed by
many to be symptomatic of national
disease or degeneracy. The most thrifty
and best-governed nations in the world
are those which have a larger rural than
urban population.

Our age is one of bewildering change
and progress. Distance has been dimin-
ished in SO many ways and is in process
of still further humiliation by inventions
of yesterday, that it is impossible to tell
what tomorrow may bring forth. AT the
capital of the United States. the densely
built streets on each side of Pennsylvania
Avenue which were few years ago the
ceniers OF fashion, have long since been
abandoned by the well-to do and large
part of the wealthier population of WASH
ington is living from three 10 ten miles
distant from the Capitol But the time
and labor required to reach the White
House, the Capitol. or any of the marble
department buildings is less now than it
was twenty years ago. Automobiles and
electric cars have taken the place of
horse-drawn vehicles. 1t is not unusual
to see coal, brick, lumber aud other heavy
articles moving along the wide asphalt
streets of the capital under electric or
gasoline propulsion. A few fue horse
drawn equipages of other times have an
Anticipated appearance, and will no doubt
soon be obsolete.

As might be expected at this season
of the year, when ice fishing is in full
swing, many stories are now in CIR
culation which tell of catches made by
local fishermen. and any tale that
bears in any way upon the sport OF
fishing is sure to be listened to with
interest, whether it is founded on fact
or is the outcome of some fertile imagi-
nation. One of the latest comes from
the quiet little village of Wiscasse'
and tells of the tenacity of fish to life
According to the narrator one of the
citizens of that town had in his barn
yard a watering trough which he had
made by following out a big pine log
and which would hold about two hogs
heads of water, and in the water he
had about dozen horned pouts
When winter came on the water in the
trough froZe solid to the bottom ant
rather than to bother to chop the ice
in the trough he watered his stock from
pals. He supposed of course that the
fish had frozen to death, but great was
his surprise when the warm sun OF
springtime had thawed the ice in the
trough to see them swimming about as
il nothing had happened.
