ROAD IMPROVEMENTS

all low places where water is liable
TO stand. The water should
never be allowed to flow across the
surface OF the dirt or sand road for
it is almost certain TO be led
out into the ruts and soften the sur
face to the point OF destruction.
In some instances it is necessary
TO put rocks and tile for underground
drainage under the middle for long
distances, but this should be resort
ed to only in cases Of absolute neces-
sity for it usually involves great
labor and expense.
II the road is on hillside it is
much more difficult TO secure proper
drainage. A side ditch should be
cut along the entire upper side and
culverts should be placed at all low
places TO carry the water away.
Otherwise it will seep thru the roau
and cause trouble or will get into
the ruts and wash gullies that will
prove fatal 10 comfortable travel.
Make a study of some road near
your home and report how 1t could
be drained TO better advantage.
Finishing the Surface
A good surface is all-important.
II has two chief functions: one is to
bear without giving way the heavy
loads that go over it, the other is to
turn the rain water from the road.
We have learned already that the
surface should slope each way from
the middle somewhat like the roof
OF house, only il should be curved
as shown in figure. In the case
OF a macadamized road the proper
surface can be easily secured II q
roller is used under the directions OF
competent engineer. II gravel is
used more time Is often required to
complete the surface for il Is neces-
sary TO depend on the traffic TO
crush the gravel that will act as 0
binder. This is at least true OF
places where a roller is not avail
able.
II il is a sand or dirt road II Is
much more difficult TO get the sur
facing properly done. This can be
best accomplished by using Kings
split-log drag under the proper con-
ditions.
The Department OF Agriculture is
sues farmers bulletin number 32i
which tells how TO make and use
this drag, a bulletin that should be
in the hands OF every farmer who
has a dirt road on or near his farm.

looks, and the picture on page-

thrown TO MI up the crevices. This
Is a very poor way 10 repair the

about as much satisfaction as q

A better way to repair such q

shows it in use. This drag should
be used when the road is first made
until the surface is smooth and pro-
perly slanted, and should be used as
often afterwards as is necessary.
The best time 10 use the drag is
just after a shower when the dirt
has become dry enough not to roll
up in mud as the drag goes over it.
Constant dragging will insure good
surface that will turn water and
bear the traffic that passes over 1t.
In many parts Of the country, the
South and middle West especially,
farmers drag a portion OF the road
after almost every shower. They
do not wait till an overseer warns
them TO work the road. They have
learned by experience that it pays
in actual dollars and time 10 work
il at all times during the year when
il needs il whether the law says so
or not.
Why do the farmers in your CON-
munity not look after their roads
more carefully
Do you not think il would be a
wise plan for the boys Of every
country school TO go out and learn
how TO make a piece OF road by
actually making it? Many schools
do just this thing, and when the
boys and men OF the community
make a road they always know after
wards how il was done. And the
boy who travels over good road
that he has helped TO build has q
different attitude toward road-build-
ing.
Repairing the Road
No road can be good very long I'M
less il is kept in repair. II "a stitch
in time saves nine" in mending
sock or a pair Of trousers, bit OF
work done promptly will certainly
save nine times as much in road-re-
pairing. The best rule TO follow In
this as in many other things is, do
Il NOW" II water gets started

5,467 Get JOBS
AT TULSA BUREAU
Local Branch State Employ
ment Office Leads All,
Figures Show.

The blue ribbon for state employ
ment bureau honors is again in the
hands of Dave Easterly of the Tulsa
offices, Boston building. He has re-
celved a letter of congratulations
from w. G. Ashton, state commits
sioner OF labor, who says the figures
for positions obtained for the first
four months of the fiscal year start
ing July l, are as follows: Tulsa
5,4G7; Oklahoma City 1915; Musko-
gee 1871; Enid 1853.
This years record for Tulsa is eX-
pected TO be more than three times
as great as last year. In the six
months that the office was open last
year the number of men placed was
1885. Already 5,467 have been
placed in the four months the office
has been open this year.
In the letter from the commissioner
the relation between the number of
persons seeking employment and
those who received jobs is noted. In
the last ten months 1896 persons in
the state of Oklahoma have asked for
positions. In all 1900 of them are
now receiving salaries The commits
sioner is anxious to have this per
centage reduced so that the two fig
ures will be closer together, he says
in the letter.
The letter from the commissioner
also contains a bouquet for the
county officials who. 1t says, have
aided the work in Tulsa county.

PUPILS MUSICAL
A RARE TREAT
Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Wood and Mrs
Harts sing at Methodist
Church.

Last night at the Boston avenue
Methodist church Mrs. Edla Lund pre-
sented Mrs. A. c. Robertson of Okla
homa City, Mrs. n. c. Wood and Mrs
II. b. IIarts both of Ardmore, in a
pupils recital.
The program covered n wide scope
of composers and thruout the voices
showed excellent schooling. Particu-
larly pleasing was the voice of Mrs.
Wood in "A Song Of India" by Rimeky-
Korsakow. Mrs. Harts perhaps
showed to the best advantage in the
"H'ndoo Song" by Bemberg, while in
both of the Carmen numbers she dis
played "a keen knowledge Of the
proper Interpretation and sang in eX-
cellent voice. Mrs Robertson was best
in "Lieti Signor" from the Huguenots.
Her voice is one Of pleasing quality
and shows as does the other voices the
direction of a real true artist.
