BOARD DIPS INTO
 DISPUTE ON FISH

WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 26.-- The shipping board took hand today in the federal governments fight to protect Alaskan fisheries against Can. ad8s orders in council giving prefer cntial treatment to British Columbia interests. In an order forbidding transfer of the American gas boat Venture to Canadian registry the board declared that while the Cana 6ian regulations apparently offer tempting inducements for such trans fers, they do not in reality give Amer ican citizens an opportunity for free competition in the fisheries trade, but rather subject consumers of fish brot into American territory thru Cana dian ports to the possibility of mo- nopolistic price manipulation"
 Officials believe the effect of the order in council, if not offset, would be to bring the Alaska fishing fleet operating off Ketchikan. under Cana dian registry and its product into the Canadian port of Prince Rupert. Rep resentations made thru the British embassy have failed to secure a mod

THE GREAT GERMAN RETREAT.

Reports from the western front show a great
retirement along the Somme front. This was the
place. where the Allies had planned their new
drive, and the Teutonic withdrawal will necessi-
tate some delay while the ~recaptured territory is
being Incorporated into the Allied lines.
Indeed, Berlin insists that the retreat was a
strategy to gain time for the submarine campaign
to exert its pressure. While this may be true the
retsking Of a large sector of French soil will have
an exhilarating effect upon the morale Of Allied
armies.
How long a respite the Germans will gain is
4 question. AT least the new line is much strong
er than the old one, and is a harder nut to crack.
In this respect the Allies have q harder battle to
fight, but. they have resained much territory with
uttjs loss Of NE. It'll

FREEDOM FOR GERMANY NEXT.

Russia may yet light a torch in Germany, al
though her army is we'll behind the border line
of her own country.
The successful revolution in Russia will make
it appeal to Teutonic people. From Washington
comes the information Of murmurings of a revolt
against autocracy, emboldened by the revolution
in Russia; reports of food riots in Berlin, which
are said to have necessitated the withdrawal Of
troops from the fighting lines; military successes
by the Entente on the western front and in Asia
Minor; the submarine campaign operating far be-
low the efficiency predicted for it; all lead to the
belief among officials that possibly before Con-
gress can assemble to meet the situation the world
may be confronted with an entirely different set
Of conditions.
What is the condition in Germany no one
knows. With a military censorship screening the
history making events transpiring within the Ger
man Empire and holding from the German people
the full meaning Of events in the world outside,
the real condition of affairs in that country is
unknown.
It is a fact that there is an agitation for great
er liberty, which has already been promised by
the existing government. Whether a revolution
will be necessary to liberalize Germany is specula-
tive, but that the people are going to insist upon
q responsible government is apparent.
Constitutional freedom for Germany is the
next move-it is certain. to come soon.

DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING
Operations Should Begin Just as Soon
- the Frost Starts to Come
Out Of the Ground.

Nothing adds more immediate value
to u farm land than accessibility to
markets, such connecting link between
the farm and market being a good
road. The early dragging of our dirt
roads is certainly to be commended.
Just as soon as the frost begins to
come out Of the ground, the farmer
should commence dragging.
This Is not a labOrious job, a good
team n put the road between him
and the first crossing toward town,
ever II half a mile away, in good con-
dition in a half day, and he will save
many times the cost of such labor or
expense during the year. Besides the
additional value it adds to the farm,
there is that personal pride that we all

ly to ourselves.

GRADING AND ROLLING ROADS
Steel Device Invented to Correct Ger.
tain Degree Fault Of Drags on
Dry Highways.

Split logs and drags and CONNER
cially manufactured drags involving
the basic principle of Mr.. D. Ward
Kings simple split-log drag, have
done much for the dirt roads of the
nation, and these make up the bulk
Of the mileage of the country roads Of
this nation. The originator Of this
type Of drag advocated their use while
the road was still muddy, to puddle"
the dirt Of the roads surface and so
make 1t more waterproof as well as to
smooth the surface of the road. This
Is the best time to use them, for then
they accomplish these two tasks 50
important to the making Of a good
dirt road. But for some reason or 9th
or the bulk of users of road drags per-
sist In using them only after the sur
face Of the road has become dry and
rough after a rain, simply to smooth
1t up.
When used in this way, all the drags
Of this type have one basic fault; they
leave q ridge of loose dirt in the GEN.
ter Of the road, If the weather con-
tinues dry and hot, this soon dries
and pulverizes into dust, to be blown
about with the shifting winds. If it
rains, this loose dirt quickly absorbs
4 large amount of water and turns
into %mud-much quicker than it would
have been If it had been packed firm
and hard, instead Of being loose and
porous. Herewith is shown a drawing
Of a steel drag of this same kind
which Is designed to correct to q eer-
tain degree at least this fault of drags
when used on dry ground. 1t is de-
signed to pack more or less firmly
