/ For the little boys, the following
toys are now being made in this cOun-
try from American woods: Animals,

Riddles in general there will be: Chill

Eastwood is the principal material

The Eastwood doll in particular is
unique and ingenious. All parts OF It
are made of wood, and are artistically
carved and enameled in color.
It is difficult to tell that these dolls
are made of wood, so skillfully are
they finished. The various parts of the
bodies are joined with steel bands.
giving them great feXibility and free
odm of movement.
Next to Eastwood, sugar maple,
beech birch and white pine are the
principal woods used for toys. Elm,
oak, chestnut, ash, yellow poplar and
other woods are also in demand.
The total amount of wood used an
nually in the United States is nearly
100000 feet, and the leading toy
manufacturing states are in order
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,, Maine,
Michigan, New York, Ohio, Massachu-
sets and New Hampshire.
Thus it may be seen that the United
States has good start in the toy in
dustry, and with such start and
with the European toy production de-
moralized there is every reason to be-
lieve that our toy manufacturers are
destined to dominate the toy market

county authorities in work for better
roads.
Properly used, the drag gives the
needed crown to the road, smooths
out ruts and other irregularities,
spreads out puddles of water, thereby
accelerating the drying of the road,
and makes the surface more or less
impervious to water by smearing over
the so-called pores in the earthly ma
terial. The cost of operation de-
ponds, of course, upon local condi-
tions and the thorouhgness with
which the work is done. 1t is safe
to say, however, that it is less ex-
pensive than any other efficient sys-
tenn of upkeep.
Farmers Bulletin No. 597, of the
department of agriculture, discusses
under the title of 1.-THE Road Drag
and How 1t Is Used, - the best meth
DDS of maintaining earth roads in
good condition by this simple device.
In this bulletin, which has just been
published, the department points out
that of more than 10000 miles of
public roads in the United States,
only about 100000 miles have been
given hard surface. 1t is true, of
course, that large part of the re-
naming mileage consists of roads
that are entirely unimproved, and
that on roads of this class the
drag is practically useless. There is
a much larger mileage, however, that
has been partially improved, and it
is on roads of this character
that have been crowned or drained,
but have not hard surface that
the use of the drag is advocated.
