MAKING 4 SPLIT LOG DRAG
Anyone Can Make One to Cost From Almost Nothing to s25o, Depend
 ing on Materials Used.

A subscriber in I.atah county, Idaho, asks us to give him plan for making split log drag for working the roads in his county. and also wants to know how to use one. says the Western Farmer
 The drag may be made of log. saA eight feet long and l2 inches through. split in the middle, or of two pieces Of sawed oak or other substantial wood : by s inches. After log is split, giv. ing two flat, faced slabs, bore three two-lnch holes in each slab, as shown in drawing, connect the slabs, facing the same direction. with three stakes or rounded by & long enough to leave three feet of space between the slabs after the connecting pieces have been driven into the holes. Two oI three blanks can be nailed to these pieces, affording a place for the driver to stand. and. at the same time, strengthening the drag. Use chain or strong rope for attachment to the double-tree. Supposing the drag to face west, and assuming that chain is used, fasten one end of the chain to or around the left hand outside con meeting brace, letting the chain pass over the top of the slab If attached to the face of the slab. near the left hand end. the chain would interfere with the movement of dirt toward that end of the drag. The drag is run at an angie of about 45 degrees, so that dirt can be thrown toward one side. The other end Of the chain must be fastened to the face of the front slab near where the right hand connecting piece comes through. and not around the connecting piece. as it is .n the illustration.

JUDGE RUSSELL
MAKES RESPONSE


city who was recently made a mem-
Der Of the supreme court through
appointment by the governor, makes
the announcement today that he is
candidate to succeed himself
His name will be on the ticket
fot associate justice of the supreme
court at the primary election to be
held on the 4th of August in tne
following counties: Carter, Love,
Marshall Atoka, Bryan, Choctaw.
McCurtam. Pushma,aha. LeFlore,
Haskell, Latimer, Coal, Johnston,
Pontotoc and seminole. Judge Rus
sell will be very busy man
the greater portion Of the time be
tween now and the primary election,
but he will make it convenient to
visit each county of the district
and to come in personal contact
with the people. There is probably
not a lawyer in the state who is
better known or a Judge who is held
in any higher regard. Not only is
Judge Russell held in high regard
as a lawyer, but those who know
him hold an affection for him.
When Judge Russell was a boy
he gave his services to the cause
of the Confederacy, and has been
in public life for many years. For
more than forty years he has been
practicing law. He has held many
positions of trust, he has Travelled
in America and in the European
countries, he is WE'LL lettel'ed in
the law and in literature. He is
man who would he a credit to
any state in the union on the su-
preme bench; he takes a pride in
seeing justice done instead of quib-
bling over technicalities.
Here in his home town, where he
is best known, he is much loved, and
it is here that the attorneys have
petitioned him to become a candi-
date, and laymen by the hundreds
have requested him to enter the
race. Judge Russell has given his
entire attention to the law, he has
never allowed business of a COM
mercial nature to detlact his atten-
tion. He is ripe in eXperience-his
written opinions are models of lit
erature and of sound law. One might
exhaust his vocabulary in heaping
encomiums upon him, but no gleater
thing can be said Of any man than
can be said of Judge Russell in
that he loves humanity. The people
never anywhere had a better friend
to ask for public office.
If man with a heart that Judge
Russell has, and with the knowledge
of law that he has, could write ev-
cry decision of the supreme court
of the United States, the people
could rest in peace, for they might
know their interests would be pro-
tected.
The Ardmoreite commends him
to the democIAtic voters of this
district as a man worthy of their
confidence and worthy of their votes
and a man who will never prove
false to trust, and a man whose
opinions will grace the law litera-
ture of the state both in the writ
ten word and in the justice of their
construction of the statutes
