said to be the banner county for sales

peculiar features of the public sales

The SPL|T-LOG DRAG.
FOR PRESERVING A GRADED
EARTH ROAD
TO Be SHOWN AT PRENTICE MAY z
Prof. d. Ward King, the Inventor, to
Speak on ''Good Roads With
out Money"

An effort is being made by the peo-
pie of Prentice to create some enthusi-
asm in the matter of good roads, and
to this end they have secured Prof. D..
Ward King, inventor of the "split-log
drag" to address town officers, over
seers of highways and everyone inter-
ested in the subject of good roads at
moderate cost, at a meeting to be
held at Prentice at l p. m. Tuesday,
May 2.
The cut of split-log drag herewith
presented offers such view of that
much talked of implement for restor-
ing and maintaining dirt and gravel
roads that reference to it will greatly
aid the reader in learning how and why
the drag does it's work. The likeness
is that of a drag made in strict accord
ance with the D. Ward King specifica-
tons. Mr. King, as the newspaper
reading public knows, being the lead
ing exponent of road dragging and the
inventor of the split-log drag.
AS matter of fact, the drag is SO
simple in construction and operation
that anyone will readily understand and
appreciate the fundamental truths Of
this formula for making good roads.
While reading the explanation OF the
drag's work, frequent references to
the cut will aid in ''getting the idea. :"
The team is "hooked' to the chain
at the point indicated and when it
starts off, the drag will follow at an
angle of about forty-fve degrees. On
an ordinary country road, one horse is
driven on each side of the wheel track
to the right and back over the other
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1911-04-28

Wleel track. The ditch or right end
ofthe front log, it will be observed,
is shod with steel. This picks up a
sna Ill amount of dirt which is moved
al5ng across the face of the drag to-
ward the center of the road, while
hath logs smooth the surface.
Consideration of what this first
tteatment does will give fair insight OF
tie drag's work. In the first place,
it }evels the surface, by cutting OF
small elevations and filing in depres-
sins. Secondly, it starts the crown
ing of the road, by gradually elevat-
ing toward the center, thus providing
for the drainage. Thirdly, and this is
the greatest work of the drag, it works
or puddles the dirt, preparing mix
tare of the mud pie consistency and
then leaves this monster mud pie out
ir the sun to be baked and hardened,
thereby holding the particles together
and reducing the dust nuisance.
Each trip brings the drag nearer to
the center, which when reached Will
be rough and soft with the dirt that
has been worked up there. The hltcn
is then changed, by moving the clevls
to the left, so that the drag will move
straight across this crown, or at right
angles with the road. The driver gets
off and the weight of the drag is sut-
ficient to smooth this center.
The road now has been given It's
first treatment. Traffic will disturb
the smooth, crowned surface and wheel
tracks will mark it, but this will only
serve to Indicate where most filling and
smoothing is to be done. No effort
should be made to keep traffic off the
road. 1t assists in packing the dirt
where packing is necessary and II
making the foundation. 1t also serves

Miss Verna Halas, aged 20, died at
the Stephenson hospital Monday night
at 7:30 from a hemorrhage of the
stomach. She was employed at the
Baker hotel and Monday morning she
did not report for work. Upon exam
nation it was thought she had the

worse and at $3.50 was taken to the

her alive. She was the eldest of the
family,
Miss Halas had worked at the Baker

at the Stephenson hospital a year
previously. She was a. member of

RUSK COUNTY BANK
LADYSMITH'S NEWS BANKING
HOUSE
OPEN FOR BUSINESS BY MAY 10
New Bankers on the Ground, Getting
Acquainted and Having Bank
Building Put in Readiness

A. Kopperud from Lake Preston, S.
Dak., and f. P. O'Mally from Mont
gomery, Mimi, are here this week and
will remain as the resident managers of
the Rusk County Bank, which will open
for business on or before May 10. The
institution was Incorporated as state
bank last week under the laws of Wis
consin, with F. P. Ainsworth of Neills-
vile, Glenn H, Williams and w. S.
Manning of Ladysmith as incorpora-
tors. but it is not yet definitely known
who if any local people will be inter
ested in the new bank. The capital
stock is $25, 900. Officers have not yet
been elected.
Glenn H. Williams has been inquiring
into the character and standing of
Messrs. Kopperud and O'Mally in the
territory in which they have been do
ing business, and has received many
unqualified endorsements from bankers
and business men who have been asso-
ciated with them, as to their charac-
ter, ability and experience. The for
mer has been cashier of the Merchants
Exchange Bank of Lake Preston and
the latter cashier of the Citizens State
Bank of Montgomery. Mr.. Ainsworth
will not move to Ladysmith.
The National Bank building is being
put in readiness for occupancy by the
new bank as soon as possible.
Since the consolidation of the Lady
smith National Bank and the State
Bank of Ladysmith six months ago,
the latter has been efficiently handling
the banking business of the commun-
ity, but as it is a foregone conclusion
that city like Ladysmith is bound to
have more than one bank, we welcome
to our community the new institution,
and congratulate ourselves that we
have secured as new citizens gentlemen
who come so highly recommended.
