WHY DON'T YOU USE THE ROAD
DRAG?

! When will our people appreciate
the value OF the split log drag? When
will they quit thinking that they can
have passable highways anly by
spending thousand and thousands OF
dollars for surfaced roads, and that
If county cannot afford these, its
people must pull along through mud
and ruts till Gabriel blows his horn
When will each county arrange to
pay some farmer for dragging the
road nearest him after each wet spell?
And when will you, Mr.. Reader
when will you talk over this matter
with your county commissioners and
your road authorities?
We have printed stories enough
showing the value OF the drag, but
here's another from the Monroe En-
quirer that we pass along.
People coming to Monroe over the
Wadesboro road last Saturday morn
ing found rough piece OF road from
Rock Rest to Lees Mill, the wheel
ruts deep and many of them, and
travel slow and difficult. Returning
late that afternoon they found that
same stretch of road finer than any
$3,000-a-mile macadam road, smooth
surface and a road which was de-
light to drive on. What made the
change? Why, Mr.. J. ]. Morgan had
used a King road drag for short
while, that was all. Just one man
and team and that drag had done
the work and the bill for the tax.
payers to foot viii be less than 50.
The road drag-the man who invent.
ed 1t should have babies named after
him. and may his feet press the golden
streets when he leaves this old world.
The road drag-let IL be used more.
1t is the cheapest way to make good
road, when used at the right time.
Use the drag. When used promptly
Just after the March rains end, II will
level down the ruts and ridges and
insure smoother travelling the whole
year through. But to be really ef.
fective it should be used after every |!
wet spell. Farmer.

A. REVELATION IN RAe.rlme.

At last A. & M. has introduced and
accepted Miss Modern Dancing into
its society circles. Now don't misun'
derstand me, reader. This does not
mean that A. & M, has accepted the
long criticized and rejected common
rag-step, the same that has been
knocking at he door Of College Station
for several years, even gaining en-
trance once or twice, only to be tasty
eliminated by means more OF strong
words than, repulsive actions. On the
contrary, the dance that has been so
much in evidence during r. v. week at
A. & M. is but an disqualification Of
the progress in beauty and grace and
modesty that has been reached in the
terpsichorean art at the present day.
Any broad-minded person who ad-
vocates society capers at all will
readily agree that the tango, hesita-
ton waltze, castle walk and smooth
ballroom one-step dances are more Of
an accomplishment in the art of dane.
ing than the old-fashioned dances. To
the good dancer the new dances add
more ease and varied enjoyment and
just as much grace and beauty to the
movements.
We feel safe in prophesying that the
new dances are here to stay this time
No one has yet expressed objection or
responsiveness for the innovation. In
deed, we may say that these dances
have alerady become popular. The tie
that held modern dancing in check
at College may be said to have been
broken when, at the Junior Prom, the |
little man with gold trimmings stepped
out for his first lesson with the young !
lady in black. AS this leader is the |
criterion of all cadet activities at Col
ege, his move was followed by all ca
lets and campus folk who are prone
% trip the light fantastic toe.
/, Now this innovation has ATTAINED a
rood start in the right direction and
t will grow. ALREADY teacher of
modern dancing has been engaged to
1--WE lessons in the new steps. Many
will make good headway-for instance,
he same gentleman in the gold trim
nings. as mentioned above, was mis-.
aiken for dancing master" by some.
'ut for some, alas, it is hope
ess! and many of these were at
he r. V. dance. Some folks have no
usiness on the dancing floor. They
yill look ridiculous and often even
ather hideous, regardless of what kind
{ dancing they are trying to do. Such
eople are unfortunate Their posi-
on should be spectator and not as
articipant of the dance of the day. I

Prof. d. w Spence. 3- la
College Station, Texas.
Dear Professor:
suppose you know that when We
left the States we expected our ma
chinery for the farm to arrive shortly
after we did, and were assured that
we would get in crop the first year
here, from which We were promised
rather flattering commissions of the
profits. Well, up to the present time
less than half Of our machinery has
arrived, and we have not planted q
single seed Of cotton. Everything has
been one delay after another, which
seems characteristic Of this section of
the world. hf1f Is4i aslt
Our machinery was bought and paid
for, and SO far as we know there has
been no shortage Of money, but nu-
merous delays were attached to the
shipments and on arrival, through lack
Of unloading facilities, the machinery
was carried through to Mombasa,
where 1t has remained for some eight
months.
We have received q number Of
American plows, planters, cultivators,
an Austin elevating grader and two
English traction engines, al of which
! have erected and have In working
order, and have plowed and haIcw' d
about 200 acres.
My work over here has been de 'ijc.i-
ly more that of mechanical engineer
than an irrigation engineer, and for
tunately during the past few years !
have studied mechanical engineering
at odd times and have had more or
less experience with engines during
my employment in the contracting
work.
The engines arrives at farm piece
at time. and the parts were fright
fully mixed up. No drawings were
sent, which made 1t quite difficult
task on me, but managed the work
Of erection successfully without delay
and was highly complimented on my
success. "a
The trip over here has bsen most
interesting, and DO not feel that |
could hardly place value on the ex-
perience have gotten. but ! do not
feel that will benefit myself in ex-
perience by staying here any longer,
and ! can see no chance OF a con-
mission of profits coming inside of |
three years, so have sent my resig- |
nation and expect to leave here early !
in May for the Western Hemisphere. |
/ will probably spend a little time in
Italy, France and England, and reach |
the States in July or August.
If | decide to continue following en-
cheering | may return to College and
take up advanced work, because !

be to me now. know that / have
creditably held up my end of the
