making the road much more lasting
than it would be il dragged at any
other time. .
To keep a road smooth and crowned
the best method is to drag with an Or
binary wood road drag, made easily
with two halves Of a log which has
been split. This log should be about
six or eight inches in thickness and
st1 to eight feet long. The halves are
yet three feet apart with the smooth
surfaces forward and upright, They
are fastened together with braces set
in holes bored through the log.
If they are not heavy enough a
board can be placed on top. and the
driver stands upon it. This will weight
It down sufficiently. In some cases it
has been found desirable to attach q
piece Of metal along the lower edge
Of the forward piece Of the drag. This
cuts the surface OF the ground better
and insures also more efficient work.
The road drag should o forward
% that it slants across the road in
such a way that a small amount Of
earth will slide past the smooth face
Of the log toward the middle Of the
road, thus forming the crown. In this
way the edge Of the drag smooths out
the ruts and fills up the holes.
The best way to drag Is to begin at
the side ditch and 60 up n side Of
the road and then down on the other.

NEW COLD SAVING

Harry Leonard, cashier of the Ameri-
can National bank.
The party visited Mr.. Harkins'
camp, where the machine had been
set up for their benefit, and after
yard and a half OF dirt had been
worked, the visitors were convinceI
that Harkins has produced a simple
and inexpensive machine, capable OF
saving absolutely all the finest flour

The machine, it is believed, will

CHICAGO. Nov. :. Scientists
have figured out that commonly ac.

discovery" They were trying to
figure out when man had a rieh,
TO vote.
When is man tWenty-one?" was
the question with election officials
which brought on the scientific re
search. William H. Stuart. of the
election board, was confronted by
first voter whose birthday falls on
the day after election day, and who
demanded the right 10 vote on No

Charles II. Mitchell, attorney for
the board held that the first voter
was right; that he would attain
his majority the day before his
birthday" and that if properly re
gistered he could vote on that day.
