ROADS SHOULD BE DRAGGED
Systematic and Persistent Use Of Drag
VIII Result In vsy Great
Amount Of Improvement

The great benent to dirt roads
from the systematic and persistent
use Of the road drag 10 certainly SO
plain in Illinois and other states
this year that no sensible person
can doubt that the use of the road
drag should be provided for by law.
says the Illinois Farmer. The sys-
tematic dragging of earth roads will
result in much greater improvement
than any other work on them costing
the same. The road drag makes a very
great Improvement on all roads except
those that are quite sandy. This year
has demonstrated that nine-tenths OF
the roads of Illinois. Iowa. etc. can
be made. by systematic dragging. as
good as could well be desired for at
least nine months of the year. Roads
In Illinois and neighboring states that
have been well dargged for three or
four years past have been this
summer better for both heavy traffic
and automobiles than the brick or
stone paved streets OF the cities. II
takes several years OF systematic drag
ging to make earth roads as good as
they can be made with the drag. Each
year toughens and hardens the road
and also lessons the necessary work
With the drag.
Certainly every state with soil SINH
tar to that OF Illinois should have a
law requiring road officials 70 have
the roads dragged whenever needed.
Of course providing for the payment
for this work out OF the road taxes.
Both farmers and town people should
begin work at once to secure such a
law. 1t viii take real work to get such
law for It will not make necessary
high-priced engineers and commits
sions. OF give room for big graft in
any one spot Fortunately the roads
can be properly dragged by farmers
and others and this road Improvement
can be made without taking It out OF
the hands of local officials who can be
watched closely.

affair in connection with which he

affair in connection with which he
gained notoriety was the robbery OF a
bank messenger who was carrying a
shipment of $4,000 from Plum Coulee,
Man, and Winkjer, Man. At that time
he escaped across the boundary line
by bicycle. into the United States
Later he was traced to Roumania,
through southern Europe and into
Africa. Finally he returned to the
United States, going to Montana, and
later to Saskatchewan, where he had
trouble with the police, getting a two
year sentence at Prince Albert. He
escaped, being recaptured in Winni-
peg, where he was sentenced to three
years in the Manitoba penitentiary.
About that time Krafchenko was
the principal witness for the defense
in the Thomas Henry Hicks murder
case.
Just a few weeks previous to the
Krafchenko was Jailed for alleged
completely in q holdup in South Win
nipeg. The police, however, had moth
ing on him. ...
Since his release from the Stony
Mountain penitentiary about a year
ago, Krafchenko had been in and
about Plum Coulee considerable and
when arrested had drawings Of the
Plum Coulee bank on his person.
Krafchenko is capable in about ff-
teen different trades, is a linguist OF
ability, speaking five languages.

Christmas

The first observance of Christmas
as a. festival in commemoration Of the
nativity Of Christ was in the year 9s
A. D. It was first ordered to be kept
as a solemn and sacred feast by Pope
Telesphorus. in the year 1877. At this
period, however, there was no agree
ment as to the date on which the hol-
iday should be observed. Among some
Christians the feast was kept on Sept.
20, while others chose varying dates
In December and January. December
25 was chosen as the day for celebrat-
ing the nativity by st. Julius 7, the
pious and learned pope who reigned
from 337 to 352. st. Cyril of Jerusa-
lem called his attention to the wide
divergence Of dates in the observance
of Christendom' s s&greatest feast, and
Pope Julius ordered that inquiries be
made throughout Palestine with a
view to determining the correct date.
This investigation resulted in the
choice Of the December date, which
has yer since been kept as Christ
mas. Many scholars have denied the
authenticity of the date, basing their
objections On the fact that December
Is the stormy season in Palestine, and
that shepherds would not have been
grazing their f1ocks on the hills at
that time.
Wheelwrights in Holland recently
established a national union, with a
membership of over 400.

THE JUNIORS DEFEAT THE
SENIORS,

. The Inter-class Basketball league
of the high school started last night,
with the freshmen being defeated by
the sophomores, II to II. The game
was very spectacular from the stand
point of the spectators. McEnroe was
the shining light of the sophs, while
CLANCY Of the freshies kept the ball
going for his team.
In the second game the juniors de-
feated the seniors by a score of 20 to
IL. This game was marked by close
playing throughout and the fact that
the seniors only had four players
probably lost them the game. The
first half ended with the seniors nav
ing the largest end of the score. but
they were unable to keep up with the
juniors and came out on the bottom.
These games will be played every
Monday night until each team has
played nine games, at which time the
winners will receive a banner.
