TO BUY ROAD DRAG.
Commissioners Place Order For
Four Road Machines.

With view of better working the
roads of the county, the Board of County
Commissioners have placed an order for
half dozen Indiana Lever Road Drags
and has also ordered four road machines.
The drags are made of metal, and may
be said to be patterned somewhat after
the split log drag, which for some years
have been approved by the leading State
Experiment Stations of the country. They
are intended to be run over road after
the rains, and about the time the road is
drying, for the purpose of leveling the
roadbed and preventing ruts. The ma
chimes ordered are ones that can be set
at various angles, and are also arranged
that the road is scraped toward the CEN
ter, making it decidedly better for she'd
ding rain, as the water is inclined to run
to the sides of the road.
The scrapers ordered are of similar
patterl, to the drags, but can be put to a
variety of uses to which the drags can
not. The commissioners have been add
ing to their road equipment from year to
year, and it is said that when the new
equipment is delivered, almost every dis
trict will be supplied with drag or scra-
per.
The drags and scrapers are made OF
iron, and are left in the weather from
the time purchased until no longer fit for
USE While the depreciation is compare
lively small from year to year, on account
of the exposure to the weather, yet the
commissioners are considering some sort
of housing for the implements. There
has been suggestion that simple sheds
be erected in several of the districts over
the county for housing the maching, these
sheds to be erected in one district and
the scrapers from several of the surround
ing districts brought there and housed.
There has also been suggestion that the
scrapers and drags be placed in the barns
or implement shed of the farmers about
the county and specified rent paid for the
same BY this method it is claimed each
scraper could be kept in the district in
which it is located and the cost of rent
ing space for its storage would be slight.
The latter plan seems to meet with the
greater favor among the commissioners.

Eve Examination.

Eye Examination.
When the eyes need attention, always
consult an Optometrist. You can not
afford to be careless with so important a
faculty as the sense of vision. Our OBJ
jective and Subjective method for ex-
aiming eyes enables us to detect with
perfect accuracy all latent and manifest
defects of the eye. and has always prov
en- most remarkable success. Difficult
cases, which but short time ago were
given up as hopeless, can be fitted by
our painstaking examination. When in
doubt about your eyes consult our gradu-
uate Optometrist O. w. Hines who gives
his personal attention to every case.

WILSON'S LOGIC AT FAULT
His Arguments Concerning the Tariff
VIII Not Appeal to the Voters
With Any Force.

OF all the arguments against pro-
lection that which cites the advant-
ages of free trade between the several
states. is perhaps, the most unsound
and the most unscientific, and yet no
less an authority than DR.. Woodrow
Wilson, sometime Princeton profes.
sor. now candidate for president,
once advanced 1t as quite conclusive
proof that customs houses were at
best necessary evil.
IL seems to me very absurd" he
said, to maintain that We should have
free trade between different portions
OF this country, and at the same time
smut ourselves out from free COM
munication with other producing coun-
tries of the world. II it is necessary
70 impose restrictive duties on goods
Drought from abroad 1t would seem
TO me, as a matter of logic, necessary
to impose similar restrictions on
goods taken from one state of this
Union to another. That follows as a
necessary consequence; there is no
escape from It,"
This is exactly on all fours with an
argument to the effect that two part
ners in profitably going enterprise
would find it to their advantage to
encourage competition in their par
ticular field by concern OF equal ca
pacity, which, because of the lower
cost of production. could readily un
dersell them.
The professor seemed to overlook
the fact when he gave utterance tc
the foregoing. that the same standard
OF wages and the same standard oi
living. approximately obtains in all OF
the states, and that free trade among
them amounts to an exchange of com
modities produced under practically
| similar conditions.
In this connection II Is well also &c
remember that 95 per cent, of the
s2i OO,000,000 OF annual industrin
production in this country is distribut
ed at home.
