we can think things over. carefully

steps necessary to protect our inter-
ests-the interests of ourselves and
those who will come after us.
Our community is built up as the
result OF various interests, not the
least OF which is the tributary farm
ed because of the various interests
that center here and because this is
natural point for the distribution
of farm, products and merchandise.
The sale of the farm products brings
the money for the buying OF the mer-
chandise while the merchandise sup
plies the necessities of those who
raise the crops.
1t therefore follows, naturally as
one of the unfailins laws of civiliza-
tion, that If it were not for the farm
crs and others who produce things
for the market, there would be no
occasion for this community. There
would be no necessity for stores and
shops.
On the other hand. were 1t not for
the stores that are the mediums for
the marketing of the crops, there
would be great lack of facilities it.r
marketing and farming would not he
as profitable as we now find it in our
community.
If the business men of our town
do not afford the requisite facilities
for marketing such crops as must be
handled locally in order to give full
advantage to the farmers. then the
farmers will find out that they must
look for market elsewhere or ac-
ccpt much smaller profit on that
which they have to sell.
On the other hand, If the farmers
do not do their share toward the
support of the business men. by
spending their money locally and
keeping it in circulation in our own
town, instead of sending it to the
mail order houses, then the local
storekeepers Will find it necessary to

IChicaSo. The conference began July
lei.
The mems statement OF their case
as presented to the board Is in part
as follows:
added responsibilities and the in
creased cost of living induced the
|cnginemen in the western territory
to make certain requests of the man
ayers of their railroads. These re-
quests carried moderate increases in
pay and some improvements In work.
Ing rules, having for their object the
Standardization of wages and working
conditions which were to be revis-
ions and additions to the present
schedule.
In their printed statement of their
position the ensinemen laid empha-
sis on the Increased traffic of the
railroads declaring that more pow-
erful locomotives. larger freight cars
and longer trains had vastly in
creased the earning power Of the
roads and had added correspondingly
to the responsibilities of the engine
men with no corresponding increase
in their pay.
The managers committee replied
that railroad conditions at the pres
ent time do not justify any increase
in wages. The demands of the men,
according to the managers, center
upon the substitution of an eight
hour day for ten hour day in the
computation of overtime.
THE employees KNOW" the manag-
ers' statement asserts. that it would
be impractical to reduce the actual
working day in train service to eight
hours. To do so it would be neces-
sary to shorten practically all rail-
way divisions, to relocate yards and
shops, in fact to reconstruct the
railways at prohibitive cost. The
employees know the only effect of
changing the basis of days wage
from 10 to s hours would be enor-
mously to increase the overtime paid.
I'm view of the present conditions
there could be no justification for
the railroads in taking any step that
would add greatly to their expenses.
The managers of railways have no
moral right to accede to requests of
employees that would unduly increase
the expense of railway operation"

IL the drag cuts too much, shorten
the hitch and change your position
on the drag. If it is necessary to
protect the face OF the drag with
strip of iron, it should be placed
flush with the edge of the drag and
not projecting. A cutting edge
should be avoided, as the main oh
1ect In dragging is to smear the
damp soil into position.

IMPORTANCE OF ROAD
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Washington. July 27.-There is no
phase of the road problem more i'm
portant than that of maintenance.
'rhe general impression that there
| are certain types of roads that are
permanent is erroneous. No perma-
nent road has ever been constructed
or ever will be. according to road
specialists of the United States de-
partI\ent of agriculture. The only
things about a road that may be con-
sidered permanent are the grading,
culverts and bridges. Roads COLI
structed by the most skillful high
way engineers will soon be destroyed
by traffic. frost, rain and wind, un-
less they are properly maintained.
But the life OF these roads may he
prolonged by systematic mainten-
ance. A poor road will not only be
improved by proper maintenance. but
may become better in time than a
good road without It.
The first and last commandment
in earth road maintenance is to keep
the surface well drained. TO insure
good drainage the bitches should be
kept open, all obstructions removed
and smooth crown maintained. Ex-
ceDt for very stony soil the road ma
chine or scraper may be used very
effectively for this work. The ma
chine should be used once or twice
year and the work should be done
when the soil is damp, SO that it will
pack and bake into a hard crust.
Wide and shallow side bitches should
he maintained with sufficient fall
and capacity to dispose OF surface
water. These bitches can in most
places be constructed and repaired
with a road machine.
All vegetable matter, such as sods
and weeds should be kept out of the
road. as they make a spongy surface
which retains moistuwe. Clods are
also Objectionable, for they soon
turn to dust or mud and for that
reason roads Should never be work
ed when dry or hard. Boulders or
loose stones are equally objection
able If a smooth surface is to be Sc
cured.
A split-log drag or some similar
device is very useful in maintaining
the surface after suitable bitches
and cross section have once been Sc
cured. This drag can also be used
to advantage on gravel road as
well as on an earth road. The prin-
ciple involved in dragging Is that
clays and most heavy soils will pud-
die when wet and set very hard when
dry. The little attention that the
earth road needs must be given
promptly and at the proper time If
the best results are to be obtained.
In dragging roads only small
amount of earth is moved. just
enough to ffll the ruts and deDress-
ions with thin layer of plastic clay
or earth which packs very hard so
that the next rain instead Of finding
ruts, Impressions and clods In which
to collect runs off leaving the sur
face but little affected.
The drag should be light and
should be drawn over the road at an
angle of about as degrees. The
driver should ride on the drag and
should not drive faster than walk.

London, Aug. 1.-The operation
