practice more common in the great
state in which you are privileged to be
citizens. The hundreds of boys and
girls who are being benefited for each
succeeding year by this institution

honor, fame and influential position,
and in all of their activities and

the work that you have given them
the leadership, training and inspiration
obtained at the camps at the Valley

institution must be to them an Alma
Mater upon which they must bestow

Mr.. Melvin Hildreth, writing in the
Fargo Forum, after giving an excel
lent story of the Valley City Chautau-
qua, says of the Boys and Girls En-
campment idea: "The leadership,
training, and inspiration received in
camp will find expression in the COM
munity when they return. Certainly,
it is such things as these which create
enthusiastic hopes in North Dakota.
In these movements we are building
for that larger and better social and
civic life which is bound to be the out
come of such institutions as the Valley
City Chautauqua."

may be regulated by frightening and
shortening the chain at the end which
runs through the hole in the blade end
of the drag. ILL.,.
If small weeds are to be cut or a
furrow of earth is to be moved, the
doubletree should be attached rather
close to the hitch end of the drag. The
drag will now move nearly ditch end
foremost, and the driver should stand
with one foot on the extreme forward
end of the front slab. This will swing
the drag back to the proper angle and
will cause the blade to pillow. This
hitch requires slow and careful driv-
ing in order to prevent the drag from
tipping forward. If the blade should
plow too deeply, as it may do in wet
spot, the driver should shift his
weight toward the back slab.
If straw and weeds clog the blade,
they can usually be removed if the
driver shifts his weight to point as
far as possible from the ditch or blade
end. Similarly, if he steps quickly
away from the ditch end, the load of
earth may be dropped into a low place
or mudhole.
Some attention should be given to
the edge of the blade. In the begin
ming, the average earth road requires
no steel plate on the drag, though the
drag will be better preserved if the
steel is applied at first. At the end
of a years work, if the dragging has
been faithfully done, steel plate will
be needed. If the twist of the log is
properly used, or the three-cornered
strip of wood is placed under the
blade, fiat piece of steel will answer.
In case the blade stands perpendicular
ly it should be slightly cupped when
sharpened.
Usually two horses are enough to
pull a drag over an ordinary earth
road. When four horses are used, they
should he hitched to the drag by
means Of four-horse evener. The
team should be driven with one horse
on either side of the right-hind wheel
track or rut the full length of the por-
ton to be dragged, and the return
made over the other half of the road
way
The object of such treatment is to
move earth toward the center of the
roadway and to raise it gradually
above the surrounding level While
this is being accomplished, all mud
holes and ruts will be filed, into
which traffic will pack the fresh earth.
When to Use Drag
The drag does the best work when
the soil is moist, but not sticky: The
earth then moves freely along the
faces of the slab. If the roadway is
very badly rutted and full Of holes, it
may be we'll to use the drag once when
the ground is slushy. This treatment
is particularly applicable before a cold
spell in winter when it is possible to
have roadway freeze smooth.
A smooth road surface is secured
by this method. Clay, when mixed
with water and thoroughly worked, be-
comes remarkably tough and imper-
vious to water. If compacted in this
condition it becomes extremely hard.
Another valuable result Of dragging
is the reduction Of dust. for the par

To try to describe the musical treat
provided by the Luther College Band
Thursday night is almost q hopeless
task. Their work was SO much be-

ed. that it furnished the surprise OF
the season. We were, almost inclined
to doubt their classification as anna

style, with excellent well-rounded tone.
fine phrasing and perfect rhythm, they
simply swept the audience into a
frenzy of applause. In fact, SO keen
was the audience to show it's apprecia-
tion that time after time hand-clapping
would start before the change in
movements in certain numbers.
The band is wonderfully we'll bal
anced and never did the brass intrude
itself unduly to the o'ershadowing OF
the wood-winds.
With a magic wave of the baton, d.
rector Carlo A. Sperati would draw
forth from his players seemingly end
less effects. Ranging in tone from the
softest Of orchestral effects to the
loudest megaphonic crash, these anna
teure played with the finish of sea-
soned professionals. In certain pas
sages the lyrical quality of the tone
was most noticeable, until one might
well say that the boys did not play
their instruments-they rather sang
with them.
Many novelties were introduced with
excellent results and in the last Sc
lection rendered. descriptive num-

Hundreds unable to find seats in the
monster auditorium, stood throughout
the whole performance rather than

Certainly Luther College is to be
congratulated upon having such a fine
band and such marvellous director.
The overlooking audience is splen-

citation for best things which is being
gradually developed in this community.
The clean cut, straightforward con-
duct of the college boys, both in their
band work and around the grounds,
was no small factor in contributing to
the pleasure with which their efforts
were received and when at the con-
clusion Of the program the collegians
with true college spirit gave their col

firmly in every heart.

Mr.. Ben R. Vardaman, the editor

terday for loyalty to the community in
which one lives. He paid an excellent
tribute to the progressiveness of the
persons who have made the Chautau-

upon the value to the community of
such an institution as this.

l consider the Valley City Chautau-

Devise Plan for Kidding
Border Of Bandits by
Mutual Assistance.

Austin, Tex Nov. Ex-Governor J. Z.
Ferguson returned today from NuevO
Laredo, Mex. where he had a confer
ence with Gen. C~arranza. The gov
ernOr expressed himself as being highly
pleased with the agreement and plan
reached for the maintenance Of law
and order on the border.
4 am highly gratifed at the result
of the conference" said the chief eXecu-
tive. "as it is expected to bring
definite results"
1t was agreed by the Mexican execu
tive that every effort would be made
by Mexican officers to a~pprehend any
culprit who might commit a crime on
the American side and attempt to
shield himself by taking refuge IN
Mexico. The same with respect to IN
lawless band on the Mexican side seek
ing asylum in Texas was agreed to by
governor Ferguson.
No Appeal To Capital.
A plan was evolved by which Texas
border authorities may notify any
Mexican border army post that they
are seeking bandits from the Texas
side and receive the cooperation of the
Mexicans in a~Dprehending the gangs.
Waving a %formality. it was decided
that no appeal to the Mexican capital
wOuld be deemed necessary for Texas
officers TO receive the report of border
authorities in preserving order IN
emergencies.
Likes Carranza's Looks
Carranza was characterized by the
governor as "a man Of solemn mien.

judgment. but rather deliberate, Of
great determination and a man who
viii undoubtedly make a wise ruler
over the destinies of Mexico"
