Value OF the Road Drag.

When will the people appreciate
the value of the split log drag? Wher
will they quit thinking they can have
passable highways only by spending
thousands and thousands of dollars
on surfaced roads?
We have printed stories enough
showing the value of the drag, but
here is another we find in the Pro
gressive Farmer, reproduced from
the Monroe, N. c., Enquirer, and we
pass it along:
"People coming to Monroe over
the Wadesboro road last Saturday
morning found a rough piece of
? road from Rock Rest to Lees Mill,
the wheel -uts deep and many of
them, and travel slow and difficult.
Returning late that afternoon they
found that same stretch of road
finer than any $4,000 a mile
macadam road, a smooth surface
and a road which was delight 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 pay
ers to foot will be less than $500.
The road drag-the man who in
vented should have babies named
after him, and may his feet press
the golden streets when he leaves
this old world. The road drag
let it be used more. 1t is the
cheapest way to make a good road,
when used at the right time. Use
the drag. When used promptly
just after the rains end it will
level down the ruts and ridges
and insure smoother travelling the
whole year through. To be really
effective it should be used after
every wet SPELL

men very rarely, to many not at all.
Instead mems thoughts drift too cas-
lily to things that are often lovely
and of value in themselves, but Who'll
ly of this world, and in consequence
they grow forgetful of anything be-
yond it.
Sometime, somehow, there will
come a great revival of Worship
not the mere, formal, conventional
church attendance, but the old open
ing of the windows of heaven to let
the soul see through. 1t will not
come through sermons only, but
through common prayer, and COM
mon praise, and common alteration.
Thus, and thus only, will mankind
accomplish that uplifting OF itself
above itself that it needs more than
education, more even than the widest
and most substantial reformation OF
morals. Such uplifting is, indeed,
the only substantial reformation of
morals.

A real use for the aeroplane in a
commercial way has been found in
German South Africa, where they
are to carry diamonds from the
mines to shipping point The gems
are carried now along difficult jungle
paths, and it is necessary to send a
heavy guard of soldiers with them.
Aeroplanes will be used also to carry
mails and to transport physicians
quickly from place to place in the

The Consumer Pays.

The cost of living increases with
prosperity, but the consumer pays
the cost. If the European peasant
goes to his work with a soldier on
his back the American consumer
staggers under the weight of middle
men. Producer and consumer are
more and more separated. The mar
ket basket has disappeared. The tel
ephone has taken the place of the
basket. While the old-time market
survives in few communities it is
no longer what it once was. Once
the market place was a democratic
social center in the community where
grower and butcher met on equa
terms with the buyer, but the mid
oieman is now behind the counter
me delivery wagon runs between
buyer and seller.

HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
When Z Possible Poultry Products
Should Be Sold Direct to Con-
sumer-Co-operate With
Neighbors.

There is no satisfaction and but
very little money in exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. BY being care
ful in gathering eggs, so that tney
won't become chilled In winter and
so the hens won't sit on them over
night and using little care in sizing
and selecting, quite an advance over
the common prices may be obtained.
When possible sell your eggs direct
to the consumer. If not possible, get
a market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals In strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your own sake,
live up to the agreement. Carefully
,clean all the eggs; don't send small
misshapen or large ones. Stamp each
egg with a rubber stamp, using your
initials or the name of your farm, and
In a short time you will have created
q demand for your eggs, and when
you have created such demand your
eggs will bring the highest prices
considerably more than your store
keeper would pay.
Several neighbors should send their
eggs together, paying a cent or two
per dozen to one of their number fol
doing the business, and In this way
all would gain little.

CARE FOR POULTRY DISEASES
Ono Important Thing 10 to Isolate All
AIlIng Fowls to Prevent Infection
Of Whole Flock.

Poultry diseases usually are not 80
very hard to handle, II they are under
stood, and hens are cared for properly
One important thing is to isolate all
diseased birds. 30 they will not infect
the rest Of the flock.
Here are the common poultry dis
eases and the remedies:
Colds and Roup-Disinfect drinking
water as follows: To each gallon of
water add the amount of potassium
permangate that will remain on the
surface of dime.
Chicken Pox-Apply touch of 10
dine and carbolated vaseline to each
sore.
Gapes-New ground and vigorous
cultivation will often remedy this
trouble.
Scaly Leg-Apply vaseline to af-
fected parts, and after "a hours soak
in farm, soapy water. Repeat the
treatment until cured.
Diarrhea in Hens-Low grade wleat
flour or middlings Is good for this
trouble.
Bowel Trouble In Chicks-Well-boil
ed rice mixed with a little charcoal
will often check this complaint.

A Communication
Editor Clio Messenger:

Editor Clio Messenger:
Late last fall the board of trade Pc
titioned the council to have the village
divided into wards or districts, each
district to be numbered, and a set of
rules regulating the turning in of fire
alarms so that the firemen may know
about what part of the village to head
for when an alarm is turned in.
The council. think, favored this and
appointed a committee to see that it
was done. So far have seen nothing
accomplished along this line. Now this
is very important matter and every
property owner ought to look into this
and have the council fix it up at once.
We may not have another fire for
years, but let us prepare for prompt
service when one does start. 1t is the
first few minutes that counts inputting
out fire.
At the present time when an alarm'is
sounded the firemen have to stay at the
fire hall until some one goes there and
tells where the fire is, or they will go
in the wrong direction. This all gives
the fire good start, where if we had
some kind of an alarm system they
could head in the direction of the fire.
This few minutes saved may mean dol
lars saved for the owner.
Respectfully,
A Property Owner.
