June 13, 1915

Our Country as lt was in the iHh0 VI
 George Washington.
 The America of Washington's day was primitlvely, raclly rural. The country outnumbered the city thirty to one. It outvoted and outinhuenced the city. The country was countrited without urban qualities or depend encies. Not even the cities themselves were cidhed. Philadelphia, the great st of them all, with the finest shops the best houses, the most eXtraYagant people, was but a poor, small triangle of houses, with It's base on the Della ware and It's apex stretching timidly toward the west Its people, though reputed gay and luxurious, went early to bed, rose early and were without the opportunities and distractions or modern urban life. There were no great factories, no armies of workmen' no extended commerce, no horse cars no omnibuses, no sharp differentiation of the city into business and residence sections. Like envlous New York and aspiring Boston. Philadelphia was still half rural.
 4 great city was not desired nor even contemplated. To "the fathers the very conception had in 1t some thing unwholesome A city was a dwelling place of turbulent. impIous, Ignorant mobs, of a congregation or ''unproductIve" artisans, wastrels' crim- finals. Sabbath breakers. It was a blister on the social body, a tumor which absorbed the healthy juices. The city was vaguely associated with royalties, courts, armies, beggars and tsttered, insolent, rascally mobs; the country was the cradle of republican virtue and democratic simplicity. Jef' ferson, having in mind the sQualid az glomerations of the old countries, con rratulated America on being rural De Tocuueville In the thirties believed that the absence of a great capital city WIS lone of the first causes of the maintenance of Republican institu- ions."-Walter Weyl In Harper's Mag Rzine.

CURIOUS CARD TRICK.

lt Deals With Odd Numbers, and the
 Explanation Is a Mystery.
 There is a puzzle which may be per formed with my odd number of ob- jects, playing cards being usually em. ployed, and which any one can do, but no one seems able to explain the req son for 1t. Let us suppose the number selected to be twenty-seven cards, al though fifteen or twenty-one would do just as well.
 After having them shuftled hold them in the left hand face upward and then deal them face upward one at a time in three piles so that the fourth card comes on the first and the fifth on the top of the second and so on until you have three piles of nine cards each.
 Request any person who is watching you to make a silent note of any card he pleases, and when you have finished dealing to tell you in which pile the card lies. By picking up the three piles again one at time as before, the not ed card will reappear. Ask in which pile It came that time and place that pile in the middle as before.
 Upon dealing the cards into three piles for the third time note carefully the card that comes in the middle of each pile. With twenty-seven there will be nine in each pile and the fifth will be the middle card. Now, when tho person who selected the card names the pile in which his card comes you will know 1t was the middle card Of that pile. With thIs knowledge in your possession you can finish the trick iD any manner you please.
 This is only a statement of results but what Is the explanation or reason for it2 What is the rule that makes 1t always come out right, regardless oi the number of objects used, so that II Is odd?-New York Sun.

Serviceable Read Drag.

of the hitch may be regulated bI at the end which runs through the hole in the blade end of the drag. Csu- ally two horses are enough to pull drag over an ordinary earth road.
 The object of the drag is to move earth toward the center of the road way and to raise it gradually above the surrounding level While this is being accomplished, all mudholes and ruts will be filled, into which traffic will press the fresh earth. The drag does the best work when the soil is moist, but not sticky.
 In soils full of loose stones or even small powders the drag does good service. The loose stones are drawn into a windrow down the center of the road, while the earth is deposited around the powders in such a way that the surface is leveled.
 The approximate cost of split-log drag. labor and material is about three dollars; the cost for dragging one mile, going over several times, team and driver, is just what you will make it from one dollar up, depending on the number of times required to go over the rough road.
 The advantages to be gained from the persistent use of road drag may be summarized as follows:
 The maintenance of a smooth, serv- iceable earth road free from ruts and mudholes The obtaining of such a road surface with the expenditure of little money and labor in comparison with the money and labor required for ether methods The reduction of mud in wet weather and of dust in dry weather.

MAKES ATTACK ON DESSERT
Ohio Newspaper Glasses It Among the Undesirable Superfluities of
 Human Life.

A man has come to this country from abroad to advocate vegetarian ism. He is a hale and hearty fellow who has never practiced anything but vegetarianism It is a good thing and we are in favor of everybody not eating any meat who doesn't want it. But there are other reforms just as good. We might discard the dessert and fare better. The reason for re- sorting to dessert is to enable one to eat more than he ought to eat. For instance, after eating roast beef, po- tatoes and bread. can a man resist a piece of pie? Morally he ought to but physically he couldn't
 Eating too much is nraterialism in its worst form, and it does more to blunt the senses and to squelch noble aspiration than any of the other habits, and the dessert is its guardian angel. So dessert is a superfiuity, if one has had enough of the piece de resistance ct cetera, and the super fiuities are the danger points of life. More than enough is a moral, social, physical i'll. Socrates was against the dessert when he prayed: 70 God, grant me what l need and no more."- Ohio State Journal.

GOOD ROADS
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
Smooth Surface, Free From Ruts and Troublesome Holes.
CBy 1T. F. HASKELL)

(By H. F. HASKELL)
 The successful operation of a drag involves two principles: The first con- cerns the length and position of the hitch, while the second deals with the position of the driver on the drag. Each influences the other to a large extent and successful manipulation of the drag is dependent upon an under standing of both of them.
 For ordinary purposes the snatch link, or clovis, should be fastened far enough toward the blade end of the chain to force the unloaded drag to follow the team at an angle of 45 de- grees. This will cause the earth to move along the face of the drag smoothly and will give comparatively light draft to the team, provided the driver rides in the line of draft.
 The distance from the drag at which the team is hitched affects the depth of the cutting. Shortening the chain tends to lift the front slab from the ground: a longer hitch causes the blade to cut more deeply. The length

CONSTRUCTING A PLANK DRAG
Road implement Often Made of Lur- ber Instead of Loas-Two Horses
 Sufficient to Haul Device.

Drags are often constructed of blanks instead of logs. The plank should be strengthened along the middle line by a 2x6 inch strip. A triangular strip may be used under the lower edge of the blade to give it the proper cutting slope.
 Usually two horses are enough to pull a drag over an ordinary earth road. The team should be driven with one horse on either side of the right-hand wheel track the full length of the portion to be dragged and the return made over the other half of the roadway. The object of this treatment is to move earth toward the center of the roadway and raise it gradually above the surrounding level. While this is being accom- plished all mudholes and ruts will be filled, into which traffic will pack the fresh earthI
