To School Patrons.

The Dresden public schools will
open Monday, Aug. %. We ex-
tend a special invitation to the
patrons and citizens to be present
at the opening exercises. 1t is a
mistaken idea that there will be
any tuition. The entire nine
months will be free to those re-
siding in this district.
To those intending to patronize
boarding schools, we ask you to
investigate the Dresden school. 1t
has a thorough, competent faculty,
splendid grounds and building,
and its work is recognized by the
leading schools and colleges over
the state. Why pay more for the
same instruction? Get in touch
with the principal and spend the
next year in Dresden.
Mr.. Business Man, say a kind
word for the school and give
catalogue to your customers.
Yours for a successful school,

very much, and if l fail to carry

Our section of the country is
in a better condition than it was
a year ago. There was quite a
lot OF wheat and oats made here
this year and both are bringing
good prices. Cotton will make a
better yield than last year, but
the acreage is not so large. Our
farmers are beginning to versify,
raising more of what they have
to live on and not depend on
cotton for every thing.
We belive the change will mean
a great deal for the country.
With best wishes, I am yours
truly,-Lee Owen.

is in such a condition as to stick to
the drag.
Do not drag dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea-
sons Of the year.
The width of Travelled way to be
maintained by the drag should be from
eighteen to twenty feet. First drag a
little more than the width Of a single
wheel track, then gradually increase
until desired width Is obtained.
Always drag a little earth toward
the center Of the road until it is raised
from ten to twelve inches above the
edges Of the Travelled way.
The amount Of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very consider
ably controlled by the driver, accord
ingly as he stands near the cutting end
or away from it.
When the roads are first dragged
after a very muddy spell the wagons
should drive, if possible, to one side
until the roadway has a chance to
freeze or partially dry out.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated application.
Remember that constant attention is
necessary to maintain an earth road in
its best condition.

Room For Improvement.

There are over 40O,0O0O00 acres Of
uncultivated land in the United States
awaiting development that cannot be
developed without improved highways.
It has been shown that the value OF
land is increased evenly with the i'm
provement for the roads, the increase
running from 50 to SO the acre, AS
the roads are improved there is a cor
responding increase in population. In
twenty-five counties taken at random
which have contained on an average
only ~ per cent Of improved roads In
the decade 1890 to 1900 there was a
falling off in population of 5000 in
each. Undoubtedly the best system OF
maintenance for all roads is that
which provides for the permanent and
sometimes continuous employment of
skilled laborers who have charge Of
particular sections of road or who may
be assigned to any part Of the county
or other road unit where there Is work
most needed.

RULES FOR DRAGGING.

Concise Advice From an Authoritative
Source.
The following rules are given by the
Illinois highway commission:
Use light drag.
Haul it over the road at an angle SO
that small amount of earth is pushed
to the center of the road.
Drive the team at a walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side Of the road, re-
turning up the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the mud

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
A Little Story With Big Moral

In last weeks issue Of The
| American Press you will find a
little item entitled "Farmers's Fine
Defense" The story deals with a
merchant who saw the farmer call
for a package at the railroad sta
ton, the package bearing the
label of a mail order house in far
off city. The merchant naturally
upbraided his neighbor for not
trading at home, explaining that
be carried the same goods in stock
at attractive prices which the
farmer had ordered from the
foreign concern.
The farmers reply was ready IN
a moment, why don't you adver-
tise in the local paper if you have
the g0ods?"
This little story carries a great
business moral and offers solu-
ton for an evil from which local
merchants have long suffered and
for which they themselves are in a
measure responsible.
The solution for the mail order
evil lies in advertising by the local
merchant. Local people cannot
know what the local merchants
have in stock if they are not in
formed through the local news
paper. The merchants are gradu,
ally learning the truth of this fact
and are fighting mail order houses
with the same weapons which
have made the latter the ire
mendous force they are today
namely, advertising.
