MACHINE TO CUT DOWN TREES
Device Invented in England Said to Perform More Work in a Day
 Than Thirty Woodmen.

The growing demand for lumber in England and the shortage of labor have resulted in the invention of a tree-felling machine which is said to perform more work in an eight hour day than 90 woodmen, according to Popu- lar Science. A feature of the machine is the cleanness of the cut and the closeness to the ground at which the saw works, leaving no trunks standing and thus preventing waste.
 The machine is mounted on remov- able wheels for transporting 1t from place to place. It consists of a steam cylinder 15 inches in diameter, with q piston rod having 19-inch stroke. It is attached to light wrought-iron frame of triangular shape, so that the saw can be fed up to its work by means of hand-wheel worm.
 The saw is fixed to the end of the piston rod and the teeth are designed to cut on the inward stroke only. The blade slides between guides and there is no possibility of buckling. The boiler is heated by refuse wood picked up wherever the machine may be used.

DUST IS A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Cases Windows Have to Be Kept Closed Tight-Use Split
 Log Drag After Rains.

(By w. c. PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
 North Dakota Agricultural College)
 When dry weather comes the dust from the road becomes great nui- sance to the housewife who lives near the road. In, many cases windows have to be kept closed tight to lessen the amount of dust that seeps in. The most effective way of reducing the dust nuisance is the use of a split-iog drag on the road after every rain. The road dust comes largely from the grinding up of the turned-up edges of ruts made by wheels and horses hoofs. These cannot form unless water can stand on the roadbed and water can not stand on the roadbed if it is kept we'll crowned and we'll packed as it will be if the road drag is used regu- larly. Dragging the roads will mean n good deal to the housewife, as we'll as to travellers and those who have to haul to and from the market

a--.4xsa1mkxaS0 - KEEP ROADS IN GOOD SHAPE
spIit-lo0 Drag Is of Great Service in Keeping Road~ays in Economi-
 cal Repair.

The use of the road drag is i'm Dortant in putting the roads in good shape for winter use. There are over 2,OOO,000 miles of earth roads in the country, and the split-log drag is of great service in keeping them in eco nomical repair. The drag is used in many states and in foreign countries. It is used with two, three, or four horses, and is easily constructed.
 Drags are often constructed of blanks instead of logs. The plank should be strengthened along the mid dle line by by 6-inch strip. A tri- angular strip may be used under the lower edge of the blade to give the proper cutting slope.
 Usually two horses are enough tC pull a drag over an ordinary earth road. The team should be driven with one horse on either side of the right-hand wheel track the full length of the portion to be dragged and the return made over the other half ot

Night Flying No Picnic.

ARK. HAS SOCIAL GOVERNOR

It has been many years since Ar kansas has had governor, who with his wife entered actively into social functions, and as a consequence the executive mansion has not been the brilliantly lighted affair one reads about. But Arkansas has a governor who will overlook none of the func- tions of the office-whether they be social or executive. Dr. and Mrs. Trough, in spite of the heavy demands upon the time of the governor by his executive duties, are finding time to participate in the many functions which are being given in their honor
 Mrs Trough has delighted Little Rock, and while she has been actively engaged in club work for number of years, Mrs Brough has never made it predominant in her life. In Little Rock Mrs. Brough has already found that being the wife of governor, and with the addition of her personal cnarm, she is expected to exert some influence with the chief executive, and board after board have added her to their lists with the expectation of se- curing powerful ally in various movements. Mrs. Brough has found time to attend a number of these meetings, and where the project is one which appeals to her as being worthy, she unhesitatingly lends it her cooperation.

PROHIBITION LEGISLATION

While many people believed Demon Rum had received knockout blow in the General Assembly of 1915, it is evident that the old despot has wig orous constitution and that somewhere a spark of life still exists, from the number of liquor bills which have been introduced, and which are yet to come. Practically all bills are now aimed at the shipment of liquor into the state, and to prevent it being ad- vertised within the state.
 That old D. R. has friend or two s court is also demonstrated by the amendments which are offered, and efforts to block or delay temperance legislation. The amendments are tended to make the measures so dras- tic that the people will rebel and cause the pendulum to swing back to where local option will again be con- sidered.
 The temperance workers have been advised to pick out laws of other pro- hibition states, which are working sat- isfactorily, and pattern after them, instead of trying something new. In this way too drastic laws may be avoided and the cause of prohibition continued indefinitely. There is little sentiment against prohibition in the General Assembly, and there is no danger of any effort at repeating the existing liquor laws, and even if such $ law could be passed, it would not be signed by Gov. C. H. Trough.

GOOD ROADS WORK WONDERS
Improved Highways Give Farmer Chance to Reach Markets-Bad
 Roads Decrease Efficiency.

The railways and interurbans have and are having much to do with the development of this state. The evi- dence of their splendid work is seen on every hand. They have contributed to the building of towns, the develop ment of rural communities and have made it possible for great industrial ventures to succeed. But they, while working wonders for the common wealth, cannot reach every household as the highways do The highway reaches the isolated mon, which the railway but incidentally touches, and 1t means to this man or the community in which he lives whether the highway is of such nature as to enable him to carry on his relations at ths least expense and comfort. If the roads are bad he is hampered and loses much, not only from the value of hls prod ucts which must be hauled to market, but he pays tribute in the wear and tear of his harness, vehicles ana in- jury to animals. His inability to reach churches and schools easily reduces his ability to make the most useful citizen.
 If he has good roads he reverses this and stands out with greater pos abilities along all lines of endeavor in which he engages. - Greenville (rcX.) Banner.
