THE TENNIS CLUB

In the formation of a democratic
tennis club whose members shall in
clude all persons interested in the
sport a plan is under way in Mos
COW which should have the strongest
encouragement on all sides. Outdoor
life in Moscow has never had enough
emphasis. Too few persons spend
their leisure out of doors or take ex-
ercise that combines the exhilaration
of spirited contest with the free use
of the muscles.
II the proposed tennis club were to
be established on narrow or exclusive
lines public endorsement would not be
due. But the scheme is one that will
bring together men and women of all
occupations and interests, parents and
children, friends and strangers.
The site nov under consideration
for purchase is attractive and accessi-
BILE and in region where the purest
air and the greatest freedom may be
enjoyed If the membership is so
large as to warrant the building of
numerous courts and the erection of
shower bath houses, the way will be-
come easy to charging the scope of
the club and to enriching the social
life of Moscow by frequent gatherings
of large numbers OF people about the
courts for a general good time.
A modest, democratic country club
that shall have for its aim the better
ing of the outdoor social life of the
entire community and that shall
eschew all aping of the fashionable
and exclusive is blessing which we
hope Moscow is soon to enjoy

MEMBERSHIP IN THE GETTY

At its annual meeting on March
18th, the Women's City Beautiful
Auxiliary of the Moscow Chamber OF
Commerce desires to add to its mem
bership rolls the names of all the
women in the city who are interested
in improving Moscow and who have
not IS vot affiliated themselves with
the organization. Ii is to be hoped
that the Auxiliary will realize its
highest expectations and that at least
a hundred additional women may
join the club.
The Auxiliary has the great merit
of being an absolutely democratic or
ganization and aims to include in it's
membership women of all pursuits

The aims of the club are worthy and
its methods of accomplishing work
are such as commend themselves to
persons of good judgment

Smooth Roads Wear Little and Have
Least Dust-Drag After Every Rain
Before Road Dries

Growing interest in the improvement
of the earth roads by the use of the
King drag is being shown in many
parts of the county. Numerous in
quiries as to proper methods to be
followed in using the drag have been
received, and the following directions
from bulletin of the Ohio Highway
Department are therefore given:

! IT the roadway is extremely full O
ruts and holes, it is best to drag thu
road when the surface is slushy.
| 1t is also advisable to drag the roat
when it is slushy just previous te
freezing weather, that the surface may
freeze smooth
By smoothing the surface after each
rain the road surface dries hard and
uniformly; no roughness of the sur
face is exposed to the wear Of traffic,
and the least amount of dust will form
due to actual wear of the road sur
face only.
Frequent dragging will occasional
ly make the road too high iii the cen :
ter. This is likely to occur on a mar
row road and in sticky soils. and
more particularly on a hill. The best
correction for this condition is to
drag a part of the earth away from
the center of the road toward the
bitches.
Never drag perfectly dry road.
Drag the road after every wet per-
iod throughout the season.
Use of Drag on Gravel Road
On old gravel roads all holes. ruts
and depressions should be filled with
new gravel TO "a Level slightly above
the road s.n face. This can be done
to the best advantage after a rain,
when standing water shows all the in
CAPABILITIES Of the surface The drag
should then he used after rain, when
the old Lortion of the surface will
yield to scraping.
The best time to dress and drag
gravel roads is in the spring when
the frost is out of the ground.
Frequently a section of road will
dry out in warm weather, while an
other section of the same road is be-
ing dragged. 1t is advisable for this
reason to avoid too many miles to
dragging district.
From three to six miles of road
makes a convenient dragging dis
trict. Three to four miles of earth
road, or five to six miles of gravel
road, is sufficient for the care of one
man,

The Drag and the Road

1HC OAdS uuu Tic hOdu
| Drive the team in a walk.
Ordinarily the team should be driv-
en- with one horse on either side OF
the right-hand wheel track, or rut the
full length OF the part to be dragged
and the return trip made over the 9TH
er half of the roadway.
| The first trip should be made along
the outer edge of the roadway work
ing toward the center; the object be-
ing to move earth toward the center of
the roadway, which will gradually fill
all mudholes and ruts, into which
traffic will pack the new earth.
Care should be taken not to move
too much loose earth toward the cen
ter of the road.
1t should always be remembered
that it is important to keep, the road
surface as hard as possible, and in
order that this result be secured, only
loose earth sufficient to even up the
surface should be moved.
An excess of loose earth will make
dust in dry weather and mud in wet
weather.
The depth of cutting may be reg
ulated by varying the length of the
chain. Shortening the chain will
cause an upward lift on the front
plank, hence lighter dragging. A
longer hitch will cause a downward
pull and hence the blade will cut more
deeply.
By attaching the double-tree close
to the ditch end of the drag, the blade
will cut as a plow This will be con-
venient for cutting weeds or remoy-
ing a furrow of earth.
When to Drag
An earth road is in the best shape
to drag when it is we'll graded and
drained.
Remove all loose stones from the
road before dragging.
Drag the road when the soil is moist
and yellow, or slushy, but not when
it is dry or sticky

BROWN SAYS WE ARE
 NOT YET CIVILIZED

Oakland, Cal, August 16.-Speaking before the Congress of Education here today, Chancellor Elmer E. Brown of New York university predicted that the world is at the beginning of a New era. The world has hardly be- gun to be civilized he said The great war will cause such profound changes in human life, he believes, that chroniclers of coming centuries 5 will make it the boundary mark be- tween great ages of mans history.
 Of the needs of American educa- ton he said:
 we must bring up a people in dOctrinated with sense of obliga- ton to the good of all. Whether brought up to be soldiers or not, they are to learn that they do not live un- to themselves; that ever their last full measure of devotion is due to their country; that even their private vocation is and ought to be public service.
 <The world is only now learning, and learning painfully, through fire and blood, that no nation liveth unto itself. That lesson has been learned as yet in only it's most elementary forms"

When Pea Tankard Was Used.

It Is true no doubt that among the carly Anglo-Saxons-of the same stock az the Germans-.tAere was a great deal of hard drinking and good deal of drunkenness although after the ipcursions of ths Normans tho habits of the country ih this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some of the leg' platinns which were adopteS for tho purpose of compelling thirsty souls tc practice moderation At the instance tt is said, oe St. Dunstan, archbishop Of Canterbury, King Edgar, for the pur- pose of regulating the quantity a meC might drink, ordained that pegs o, pins should ce inserted in the largs drinking vessels then in use The first person who drank emctied the tank ard to the first peg from the top, tha second to the seco:td peg. and so on.
