LOOKING AFTER GOOD ROADS
spIitIog Drag Can Be Employed to
Good Advantage-Prompt IntelIi-
gent Action Needed.

Every farmer should spend some
time looking after the roads. The
splitlog drag can be used to good ad-
vantage. Road dragging at the proper
time will insure good dirt roads the
greater part of the year. All it needs
is prompt, intelligent action. 1t must,
however, be done at the right time
to get the best results.
Yes! 1t is true in many places that
the road dragging should be done by
the county, but every farmer should
take enough interest in the community
welfare to see that the road in front
of his farm is gone over with split
log drag.
There is no other one thing that
would add to our advancement, both
commercial and social as much as
would good roads. Spend few hours
at this season of the year, when the
frost is coming out of the ground and
the wet from rain and snow is drying
up, with a splitlog drag and it will
result in better roads, good adver
tisement for your farm and its owner

NEW YORK'S IMPROVED ROADS
State Spending One Hundred Million
Dollars on High-Class Thorough
fares-Money Well Spent.

The state of New York is spending
one hundred millions of dollars in
building good roads. That seems like
an enormous sum of money, but there
was demand for good roads, and the
results SO far secured are worth all
the effort.
Over fifty million dollars have al
ready been spent and about as much
more is now available, and in few
years almost every portion of the state
will be reached by high-class finished
roads. They are like boulevards, we'll
constructed, well cared for and ought
to be very permanent.

In 1913, when he was given his first
chance, he started clouting the ball
VicioUsly, sIapping for extra-base hits
with gay abandon. 1t seemed for a
time that real star had been added
to the Cub troop.
Then the opposition pitchers de-
tected his weakness. Cy was help
less before a curve ball low over the
side corner of the plate. He might
as well have left his bat on the bench
for all the damage he did when such
a ball was served to him. He was left
to work out his own salvation, failed,
and slipped back to the Obscurity Of
the utility men.
Now he gets his chance. Putting
him on the first team will start him
with confidence and Bresnahan will
be on hand to aid the long fellow in
his schooling. Cy is being put to
work slamming at the offerings of
recruit pitcher, experimenting with
different positions at the plate, in an

Cy is not alone in his weakness.

stepping back a pace. In time he
solved the mystery, and White was

tiled to all the help that can be
