CHAPTER Ix.-contInued.

Holton's present idea was to wait
Tor the army to move, purposing to
follow their advance, and under cover
Of the battle to enter Santiago. But
as day after day passed it seemed to
him as though the order to advance
would be given.
He went up to the Cuban camp sew
eral times, and on one of these occa-
sions had long conference with Gar
ella, to whom still maintaining his role
as an English newspaper correspond
ent. he related the details of his mis-
adventures at Aserraderos. Garcia's
Eface clouded as Holton proceeded, and
at the conclusion of his narrative he
regarded the young officer sadly.
Il do not doubt what you say, Mr.
Ogilve," he sighed gloomily, but 1t IL
hard blow. Jose Cesnola is-was-
one of our most trusted leaders. Now
that / know, can attribute many mis-
fortunes to him, for he was very much
In our confidence. Very well! Friends.
comrades, have deserted us, have
proved traitorous before this--I shall
bear him in mind"
Six days lin all elapsed before any
indication that the army was to move
came to the surface. On the sixth
day, June 80, however, orderly and
aides began galloping down the road
way and the word came that the ad-
vance was to begin at four o'clock
that afternoon. Holton wondered If
the entire army was to move at once
or whether each command was to
take up the march at an appointed
hour.
AT four promptly his question was
answered when the entire force broke
camp and crowded into the narrow
T3ungle trail at practically the same
minute.
Holton followed along the trail with
an infantry regiment. The army was
now marching into the wooded valley
which bordered the high grass lead
Ing to and up San Juan hill, with the
smaller rise. Kettle Hill, on one side.
AS the day waned the men who
knew that on the morrow would come
the supreme test, settled down for the
night with grim faces.
Midnight passed. Men stirred rest.
lessly in their blankets. And in the
rife-pits that ribbed San Juan dark
faced men in blue drill uniforms called
on the Virgin-and waited.
Morning broke, silent and fog laden.
An orderly galloped up to General
Sumner, head of the cavalry division,
and presenting General Skaters com.
pliments, told him to move his diyi-
sion to the edge of the woods.
What shall do when get there ?"
asked Sumner.
Await further ORDERS" was the
reply.
Holton strolled up to Ell Paso and
found the regulars and the Rough
Riders resting on their arms. Grimes
men we're training their guns on San
Juan. and impatiently awaiting the
word to open fire.
II seemed ages to Holton before the
order came, but come 1t did at last.
The men of the batteries sprang tense
ly into position, and as sharp order
broke the silence, a lean-faced man
jerked his arm sidewise. A line Of
thick, red flame leaped out of the long.

PLAN To ENLARGE

Board Of Directors Of College Held
Q Meeting in Dallas to Discuss 4
Benefits Of smIth.Levef Law,

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 26.-Plans for en-

bracing agriculture and mechanical
instruction and extension work were
discussed in detail yesterday by the
board of directors OF the Agricultural

Sixteen inches. This is done because
The drag is always drawn over the,
road at an angle sufficient TO make
The runners free themselves OF the
material which they scrape. The
amount OF this angle or skew depends
OF course upon the condition OF the
road by offsetting the runners. II is
possible to make their ends follow mp
proximately the same line OF the road,
which they would not do II they were
set directly behind each other and the
drag drawn at an angle with the road.
In order to provide standing room
for the man, II is usual to nail two
boards down upon the rungs parallel
TO the runners. Standing upon these,
sldllful driver viii bear his weight
in such a way as TO aid materially In
the successful operation OF the drag.
The drag is drawn by chain,
which should be about eight feet long.
This can be fastened by eye bolts to
each end OF the front runner, or one
end OF the chain can pass through a
hole at the discharge end OF the front
runner. and the other end be looped
over the rung at the cutting end OF
the runner II is important that the
hitching link should be so designed
that its position can be changed readi.
ly, II Is also desirable to provide a
metal cutting edge for the front run
ner. This can be made from a strip
OF iron or steel. and old wagon tires
have frequently proved satisfactory.
The cost OF such a drag varies from
So TO perhaps $40 or s12. This prac-
tically insignificant outlay will secure
an implement that will be OF great
service to the community for at least
three or four years. The fact cannot
be overlooked, however that skill In
the use OF the drag is Indispensable.
The angle that the runners make
with the center line OF the road. the
skew angle as II might be called, is
an important factor. For example. II
the dragging is done to increase the
crown OF the road. the drag should be
sufficiently skewed TO discharge all
material as rapidly as II is collected
on the runners. On the other hand.
the conditions may be such that II Is
desirable TO carry along this material
In order to deposit 1t where there are
depressions In the roads surface. An
intelligent operator will soon learn
many ways OF controlling the action
OF the drag. The length OF the hitch.
ing chain, the disposition Of the OPP
orators weight. the time when the
dragging is done, all these exert a
marked influence upon the results.
AS to the time OF dragging. a safe
rule to follow is to drag the road when
the material composing the surface
contains sufficient moisture to com.
pact readily. but is not sufficiently
wet for traffic to produce mud.
Since the weather plays so import
ant a part in the matter, 1t is not
usually possible TO arrange continuous
employment for teams on the road. Il
Is. therefore. desirable. whenever pos.
sible, to have the dragging done by
persons interested in the road. who
will do 1t in the intervals of other
occupations.

The present decentralization OF the
cotton market suggests that we OF the
United States should raise only
enough cotton to supply the demands
OF the United States. This may ap'
pear to be a shortsighted view to take
OF the matter because of our ability
TO produce cotton. but It is not. It
would be more profitable for us to
raise the things we are now forced
TO buy than to attempt to raise a sur
plus Of cotton. as we are now doing,
TO buy them with. Under this plan
we would fix our own cotton market
and be independent OF Liverpool. In
other words. the United States should
be made Independent and never have
to sacrifice her principal crop as We
are now doing. ~

WHAT A ROAD DRAG WILL DO.

The road drag is the simplest and
least expensive continuance yet de-
yised for maintaining earth roads, ac-
cordlng TO the experts in the United
States Department Of Agriculture, who
are cooperating with the State and
county authorities in work for better
roads,
Properly used. the drag gives the
needed crown to the road. smoothes
out ruts and other irregularities.

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

of course, upon local conditions and
the thor3ghness with which the work
is done. 1t is safe to say. however,
that II is less expensive than any other
efficient system of upkeep.
Farmers Bulletin No. 597 of the De-
partment of Agriculture discusses, I'M
der the title OF THE Road Drag and
How It Is Used" the best methods Of
maintaining earth roads in good con.
dition by this simple device
In this bulletin, which has just been
published, the department points out
that of more than 100000 miles of
public roads in the United States, only
about 100000 miles have been given
a hard surface. 1t is true, OF course
that large part of the remaining
mileage consists of roads that are en-
tirely unimproved, and that on roads
of this class the drag is practically
useless.
There is much larger mileage
however, that has been partially i'm
proved, and 1t is on roads of this char
acter-roads that have been crowned
or drained, but have not hard sur
face-that the use Of the drag is ad
vocated.
In its simplest form, the road dral
consists of an ordinary log split II
