tween Stafford and Solomonville
and his work has stood the test.
There was an enjoyable party
given at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Session. just south of
town last Saturday night; a large

ing a subscription list for. the
erection of a grand stand on the
Duncan ball ground, this side of

should receive the encouragement
of every one.

Duncan Arizonian., 1912-06-26

T. Ollie Phillips. one of the
original locators of Apache Box
Gold Field, returned Monday
from a months visit to the old
home place in Llano County,
Texas.
Mr.. Phillips reports a good
time with plenty of roasting-ears
and fresh butter; he says crops
are simply fine but many changes
in the old home community.
The unique part of his visit
was that he slept on the same
old bed upon which he was born,
an old-fashioned cord bed with
high posts; sit in his grandmoth-
er's old easy chair, ate off the
old family table and went down
to the creek and took a plur ge
in the old swimmin' hole.

The 1t. Bernard AlIuvial Lands
Company.

The New Orleans Picayune
contains the charter of the above
company, which has just been
organized for the purpose of re-
claiming waste lands now unpro-

necessary and will do incalcul.
able good to the people of all
sections of the State generally.
The first board of directors, just
elected, is composed of Governor
J. Y. Sanders, Messrs. E. L.
Chappuis, Wilson T. Peterman,
T. Walter Danziger and A. C..
Chappuis, and the stockholders
are composed of the best men
from the city of New Orleans and
various sections OF the State.
The BANNER is delighted to see
Governor Sanders, who is shortly
to retire from Office, at the head
of this new concern, and his con-
nection with such an enterprise
will prove convincing to very
many beyond the confines of the
State that q real substantial move
is being made to have them come
here and settle amongst US. We
are also glad to see him at the
head of this extensive reclamation
company for the reason that it
will convince many of his politi-
cal detractors that the Governor
is not wholly absorbed in politics
and political Office, and that his
protestations for the substantial
welfare of the State have not been
idle twaddle, as they were seem.
ingly wont to make believe. For
it is beyond contradiction that a
man of Governor Sanders ability
is never so ostracised politically
as to be able to "come back" a.:
the least suspicious opportunity.
Along with his colleagues in this
highly commendaole movement
for the good of the State, Gov
ernor Sanders retires from Office

Probably the m ost notable gath

and similar subjects, ever record
ed in the history of conventions,
will be that of the second National
Drainage Congress scheduled for

good reason to believe that the
attendance from Arkansas, Miss

the various towns in the States
mentioned have appointed their
quota OF delegates and the inter-

fact that the National Drainage
Congress is organized for the

belief that those appointed as

the great cause.
Every phase of the subject of
reclamation by drainage will be
discussed by engineers known

while eminent physicians will tell
OF the health benefits that are to
follow the draining of the wet and
overflow lands. The financial
benefits accruing from the re-
clamation of the 75,OOO,OO acres
OF swamp and overflow lands now

who have given the subject their
careful consideration and serious

which require special treatment. and
in a rolling country such conditions
are not infrequent Often fiat place
several rods in length or seepy spot
needs special attention.
The distance from the drag at which
the team is hitched affects the depth
of the cutting Shortening the chain
tends to lift the front slab from the
ground A longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply. The length
of hitch may he regulated by lengthen-
ing and shortening the chain al the
end which runs through the hole In the
blade end of the drag.
The advantages to be gained from
the persistent use of road drag may
be summarized as follows:
First.-The maintenance OF smooth.
serviceabIe earth road free from ruts
and mudholes.
Second. -Obtaining such road sur
face with the expenditure OF very little
money and labor in comparison with
the money and labor required for other
methods.
Third.-The reduction OF mud in wet
weather and Of dust in dry weather.
The Holbrook news., 1912-09-27

and to the shifting OF the position and
weight of the operator. both of which
are essential considerations.
The other mistake is in the use of
squared timbers instead of those with
sharp edges, whereby the cutting eff
fe t of the sharp edges is lost and the
drag is permitted to glide over instead
Of to equaIiZe the Irregularities in the
surface of the rOao
A dry cedar log Is the best material
for "a drag Red elm and walnut when
thoroughly dried are excellent. and box
elder. soft maple or even willow is
preferable to oak, hickory or ash.
Drags are often constructed of
planks instead of logs There is moth
ing in the construction of plank drag
that calls for particular mention ex-
cept the strengthening of the planks
along their middle line by 2 by g
inch strip. A triangular strip may be
used under the lower edge of the blade
to give it the proper cutting slope.
The successful operation of drag
involves two principles, which. when
thoroughly understood and intelligent
ly applied. make road working with
this implement very simple. The first
concerns the length and position of the
hitch. while the second deals with the
position of the driver on the drag
Each Influences the other to a large
extent and successful manipulation OF
the drag is dependent upon an under
standing of both of them
For ordinary purposes the snatch
link or clevis should be fastened far
enough toward the blade end of the
chain To force the unloaded drag to
follow the team at an angle of 40 de
grees This viii cause the earth to
move along the face of the drag
smoothly and will give comparatively
light draft to the team. provided the
driver rides in the line of draft Some
times. however conditions are met

Don't Make It Too Heavy.
PLAHKS OR LOGS ARE BEST.

Two Principles Involved In the Sue
cessful Operation of the Oras-Posi-
ton of the Driver and Length of the
Hitch to Be Considered.
The earth road Is by far the most
common type of highway in this coun-
try Its cheapness in comparison with
other types of construction and the alb
sence in many sections of the country
of rock. gravel or other hard natural
materials for road building will render
its use necessary for many years to
come.
There are at present in this country
about 100000 miles of such roads.
most of which must be maintained by
some means more or less inexpensive
The split log drag is of great service on
roads of this class. and an increasing
mileage of the rural highways OF this
country is being kept in repair econom-
icaIly and well by the use of this sim
pie implement
Two mistakes are commonly made in
constructing a drag The first lies IN
making 1t too heavy IT should be SO
light that one man can easily lift it
Besides. light drag responds more
readily to various methods of hitching

FIRST BIC GLOVES
RESEMDLED SHOVELS

The year the ball players adopted
the biz glove was one crazy season.
Both the infielders and outfielders
wore catcher's mitts and when they
appeared on the field looked as if
they were carrying shoyels. If a hard
grounder came at an infielder all he
had TO do was to stick ont the great
leather yalise and kill its force and
then collect the ball and peg with
his other hand II was some job to
knock anything past the infielders.
In the outfield the players just smoth-
cred flies Play with the big mitt
became such burlesque that legis-
lation wa sadopted prohibiting the
mittens and all went back 10 the
small-sized hand cover
The pitchers were the last of all
the players to adopt a glove of any
sort. Despite the fact that they were
nearer the batter and hot grounders
came their way with more force than
10 any of the other players. somehow
or other IL wasn't considered ETH
quette for them TO wear gloves. and
besides they thought they couldn't
get proper control and curves on the
ball unless they had both hands bare
for its manipulation McVicker OF

first pitcher to introduce the glove,
got the merry ha' ha' from everyone,
