 You've never seen a more disappointed family in your life than ours" MT. Wal thall said. We had planned for re- union, in which all of us would partici- pate, and each day last week We were looking for my brother to arrive. It was imperative for him to be in Chicago on Monday last and so when he started to Birmingham and missed connection in Nashville and had to spend his Christ mas day there, he was as much dtsap- pointed as we were. He wired us from Nashville and asked if there was any use to come at that late hour, and we wired back to come if it was only for mo- n,ent-jilst long enough to wish him merry Christmas. The result was that he slipped into Birmingham Sunday morning and staid just a few hours-long enough for good Christmas dinner and little chat"

 Not in the least" he replied. Henry is the most natural, the most modest, and the most unassuming person l have ever seen, and is perhaps the greatest critic of his own work in existence. There's his photoplay, for instance, The Raven He sat still and quiet while we discussed ev- cry point of it; he listened attentively and was just as eager to hear our opinion as he would have been to hear that of the most severe of newspaper critics. When we finished talking about it, then he told us what he considered it's defects, and there were many, according to his version. No; he is the same gentle, kind, modest boy that he used to be when we lived over in Shelby county, and he got up theatricals and took the leading parts "Then he has always had bee buzzing in his bonnet. even about the stage" I suggested ''even though there were no movies then and we never dreamed there would be-"

GOOD
ROADS
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
One of Advantages Is Maintenance Of
Smooth Surface, Free From Ruts
and Troublesome Holes.

(By H. +. HASkELL.)
The successful operation of a drag
involves two principles: The first con-
Germs 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 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 clevis, 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 As 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 deptf
of the cutting. Shortening the chair
tends to lift the front slab from the
ground; a longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply. The length

Politicians And 0fiice-holders
Cameron Courier:

Cameron Courier:
There is no doubt that the large
majority of the thoughtful conser'
yative citizens of this state are very
reluctant to call Constitutional
Convention at this time They en-
terrain very serious misapprehen-
sions as to the wisdom OF such a
step. and regard it equivalent to
opening Pandora's box ofills. Those
we suffer now are well-nish unbear-
able: but those which lurk in a con-
vention we know not, and we should
approach them with measured tread
and keen vision.
The character and caliber of the
men whom the regular oreanlza-
ton" in New Orleans-the ward
bosses, if you please-have selected
for the important duty of framing
the new organic law are not cal
culated to remove these fears. MOI
; do the vast horde of lawyers and
. ofice-holders and office-seekers who
are coming to the front as Candidates
in the country parishes offer pos
sible relief. From a convention
composed of politicians, oftice-hold
ers and lawyers, good. bad and in
different, the people naturally ex
pect an increase in the rate of taxa
ton, an increase in officials and al
increase in their salaries and emolu
ments. En- garde.

for which we are thankful. Mr..
Strattman says he is going to get

and he takes delight in doing things
that many people predict cannot
be done.

CONSTRUCTING A PLANK DRAG
Road implement Often Made OF Iun'
Der Instead of Logs-Two Horses
Sufficient 70 Haul Device.

Drags are often constructed OF
planks instead of logs. The plank
should be strengthened along the
middle line by 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 earth.

Serviceable Road Drag.

of the hitch may be regulated o.
lengthening and shortening the chalh
at the end which runs through the
hole in the blade end of the drag Usu'
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 ana
ruts will be filled, into which traihc
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 gooo
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 wa!
that the surface is leveled.
The approximate cost of a spllt'loe
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 OF
the number of times required to g
| over the rough road.
The advantages to be gained iron
the persistent use Of road drag ma
be summarized as follows:
The maintenance Of a smooth, ser'
iceable earth road free from ruts an
mudholes. The obtaining OF such
road surface with the expenditure c
little money and labor in comparlso
with the money and labor required &c
other methods. The reduction OF mu
in wet weather and Of dust in az
weather.
