Use The Road Drag.
every one.

There exists a prevailing opin-
ion in the minds of those who
have used the King road drag
that the persistent use Of this
simple drag will do the ordinary
earth roads more good for the
amount of time and labor required
than any other method of work
ing ever proposed. Some Of the
best earth roads in Ohio have
been made good by the use of
this implement. Some advocates
of the drag claim that the trus.
tees Of many townships could well
afford to sell the heavy road
machines to a junk man and in
vest the proceeds in a number OF
split-log drags. Spasmodic use
of the split-log or similar drag or
the like use of any woodworking
implement, will not make bad
roads good. The drag is light and
easily handled and should be used
as soon after each rain as the
condition of the surface will per-
NIT. The job is quickly finished
and the results are surprising
where the dragging is carried on
thruout the year. Possibly the
most marked improvement from
the use of the road drag will re-
suit from the early spring drag
ging.
Practically all farm papers have
described the King, or split-log
drag. However, if you are not
acquainted with this simple imple-
ment and cannot find a descrip-
ton in your farm or local paper,
you can secure a complete treatise
of the implement and its use in

Advertising is Electricity.

Advertising is the light Of bust
ness.
Its light is better, more power
full, more universally used today
than ever.
Advertising was originally the
candle; then it became the lamp,
now it is electricity.
Press a button today and you
flood your business house with
brilliant lights.
You know that there is a
dynamo at work somewhere.
You don't see it, but it is there.
You know that an electric cur
rent switched on produces the
effect you want light.
The public sees. You know
that.
You know that you can not
keep your business in darkness
if you want people to see what
you are doing,
People won't carry around their
own light hunting you up. You
must supply it yourself.
This light is advertising.
1t sometimes fails, just as the
electric light leaves you in dark
ness when the dynamo fails
when the current is shut Off.
But it never fails if the dyda-
mo merchandise and current
Organization are in working or
der.
If you fool with electricity il
kills you dead.
If you fool with advertising, il
kills your business dead.
Turn on the light
Keep it going steadily!
Appreciate its power. Fostoria

Just a few more days for to tote

Can any one estimate the val

to the summer schools with les
sons which will last for life.
Let us then be up and doing
With a heart for any fate,

We look with pride to the three
seniors and our hearts yearn for
their success. We extend invi-

Poor Billy Sunday.

Poor Billy Sunday is having his
own troubles. 1t seems that
there are people, who even though
they may believe that the la
borer is worthy of his hire, "
think he ought to tell his employ
ers what he does with the money
they give him. 1t is estimated
that the evangelist makes about
5000, 900 a year and yet this i'm
mense sum does not bring peace
and serenity to the plain-speak-
ing preacher. Somebody is al
ways asking, not where did you
get it," but what are you doing
with it," Sunday had hardly
left Philadelphia before another

The Best Letter,

,ou may write a thousand letters
to the maiden you adore,
And declare in every letter that
you love her more and
more,
You may praise her grace and
beauty in a thousand glow
ing lines
And compare her eyes of azure
with the brightest star that
shines.
If you had the pen of Byron you
could use it every day
In composing written worship to
your sweetheart far away;
But the letter far more welcome
to an older, gentler breast
Is the letter to your mother from
the boy she loves the best.
Youthful blood is fierce and fam
ing, and when writing to
your love
You will rave about your passion,
swearing by the stars a.
bove;
Vowing by the moons white
splendor that the grille yor
adore
Is the one you'll ever cherish as
no maid was loved before
You will pen full many a promise
on those pages white anC
dumb
That you can never live up to il
the married years to come
But a much more precious letter
bringing more and deepe
bliss,
Is the letter to your mother from
the boy she cannot kiss.
She will read it very often whel
the lights are soft and low
Sitting in the same old corne
where she held you year
ago.
And regardless of its diction
its spelling or its style,
. And although its compositio
would provoke a critic
. smile,
In her old and trembling finger
it becomes a work of ar
/. Stained by tears of JOY and saC
ness as she hugs it to he
heart.
Yes, the letter of all letters, loo
wherever you may roam
Is the letter to your mother frol
her boy away from home

RevolYerS.

A revolver is a nickle-plated
substitute for bravery, which has
practically driven the original ar
ticle out Of the market.
A revolver gives a puny man
with a 38-inch brain and the
pluck of a grasshopper a lOO-yard
reach and makes him more dead
ly than a Sioux Indian. There
was a time when this country
had no dangerous animals, eX-
cept bears and wolves, and life
was safe except on the frontiers,
but now vast hordes of 16-year-
old boys who use their skulls fol-
a dime novel book case, roam the
streets with cigarettes in their
face and portable cannon in their
hip pockets, producing obituaries
with the skill and enthusiasm of
a cholera microbe; while it is al
all times possible to meet a per,
sonal enemy who has been chas,
ing you for a week, and who i:
reluctantly compelled to defend
himself when he catches you by
filling you so full of lead thai
your remains will require eight
pail berers. Revolvers are now
so generally used in debate, in

all sorts that 5000 Americans
die of them each year, it is said

Comfort For the Schoolma'am

Alabama and Washington are
following the Texas idea and
erecting cottages for the teachers
of the rural schools. The idea is
to do away with the old and
never satisfactory plan of board
ing round" a relic of pioneer
days. In Texas the school direc-
tors erect these cottages near the
school house and one comfy has
six of them. In one town the
citizens bought the land and erect
ed the house by public subscrip-
ton. This place has six acres Of
land around it. In other places
the teachers have five and six
room cottages, live together on
the cooperative plan and hire a
woman to do the homework.
Texas has over 100 teachers cot
tages. The plan gives the
teachers a chance for privacy and
a touch of home life that is lack
ing under the system in vogue in
other places. 1t is likely that the
plan will continue to extend un'
til there is a teachers cottage ir
every school district.
