have been in an empty capsule,
drawn in the draft lottery. 1t will

result of reading it 6899. upside

Plans for the drawing were ma

the intricate method of double draw

the physical task, was abandoned.
Instead of a process requiring not
more than an hour and involving one
set Of numbers from one to 1000 and
another from cipher to 10, it was
necessary to draw, one at a time, 10,-
500 numbers.
The stage setting for the great
lottery was not changed. 1t took
place in the public hearing room of
the Senate Office building. The in
vited guests, with Secretary Baker
of the war department. were mem
bers of the Senate and House mill

persons present were a limited num-
Der of newspaper correspondents,
photographers to take the still views
and motion pictures of the historic
event, and the officers of General
Crowder's office.
In the drawing itself there were
nine actors. The principals were
blindfolded men. who constantly
stirred the 10, 500 black capsules in
the great glass bowl in which they
were placed; another blindfolded
man who drew the capsules from the
bowl, one at a time. and two an
nouncers, one standing at each side
of the bowl and to whom the cap
sules were handed in turn as they
we're drawn.
The announcers broke the capsules
as they received them. extracted the
tiny slip of paper on which a number
was stamped and called the number
to three tally clerks. The slip then
was handed to an official in front of
the bowl, who verified the announc-
er's report, and on his verification
another man. stationed at a great
blackboard. wrote the number in its

The board held 1000 numbers.

No American of the present hour Is more typical of the best things in his generation than Secretary McAdoo. Take this utterance from the secre- tary:
 eve have substituted dollar ex- change for dollar diplomacy, which Is the true way to secure and hold our share of the worlds commerce. Dol lar exchange represents the conquest of foreign markets through friendship and reciprocally advantageous trade relations.

The few Progressive members of the next house of representatives at Wash ington must be highly complimented by the distinguished attention that they are receiving from Oyster Bay. Three months ago MT. Roosevelt was devoting his days and nights to the proposition that the highest duty of Progressive was to vote the straight stand-pat ticket. Not one of these men would be in a position to accept instructions from the colonel if his admonitions had been needed at the polls.

Books In Prison.

Prison literature has many fine pro- auctions to Its credit in prose as well as poetry. In his prison at Athens, Socrates completed his great argument for immortality; in a Roman dungeon Calico made some of his greatest dis coveries. In his prison in Wartburg castle Luther translated the New Test ament into the German language. Dur ing his twelve years in Bedford jail Bunyan dreamed his immortal dream of the "Pilgrim's Progress" Sir Wal ter Raleigh wrote the fragmentary history of the world to beguile the long years of his imprisonment in the Tower of London. Much of the New Testament also is prison literature. Some of the finest of the epistles of St. Paul were written during his inn prisonment at Rome, and the Book of the Revelation of St. John was writ ten while he was an exile on the island prison of Patmos.-London Chronicle.

GOOD ROAD WORK IN WINTER
lem Confronting Farmer-Mak- ing Split-Log Drag.

One of the problems confronting the farmer is the question of maintenance of dirt roads. Not only should dirt roads be maintained during the spring and summer months, but the winter months as well; especially is this true where there is not an overabundance of snow, which conditions exist with many of our readers.
 The King road drag may be used with much benefit during the winter months, just after thaws or rains. Good work can be done at this time of the year because the soil Is crum- ply or mealy and pushes easily toward the center of the road.
 If the road has been properly cared for during the summer and fall, it will be only slight task to drag 1t dur ing the winter when conditions are right. At that season of the year there is little for the work team to do and in early spring the roads will be in shape to turn water and permit of early drying. In fact, the winter the spring when neglected. roads will be soft, rutty and springy. There is no best time to drag roads. Go after the work and then drag whenever you can during the winter; then your roads will be in good shape next spring. Make a split-log road drag and keep it going on the highway.
 D. Ward King, the inventor of. the drag, gives the following directions for making a split-log drag: Take the two halves of split log, ten or twelve inches thick and seven to nine feet long. Set the halves flat sides to the front, fasten 30 inches apart with strong stakes, the ends of which are wedged in two-inch auger holes, bored through the slabs. Put a solid plank platform on the stakes for the driver to stand on. The hitch is made of strong wire or chain, the long end fastened to stake over the top of the front slab, the short end should be put through hole made in center of the slab and near the end to prevent the back slab tilting forward. Face four or five feet of the ditch end of the front slab with iron. An old wagon tire, worn share of road grader, or any piece of fiat steel will answer for this purpose.
 As a general rule, always haul the drag at an angle of 45 degrees, nov ing the dirt to the center of the road.

TIME TO WAKE UP
REPUBLICANS TRY TO CONTROL
 FUTURE FROM PAST.
When the War Is Over We Shall Face Totally New Situation in Over- sea Trade-WiIl Not Need
 High Tariff Wall.

The Republican element keeps harp Ing on the protective tariff issue. It takes its ultimate stand on the dec laration that we shall witness at the close Of the war a tremendous indus trial productivity on the part of the nations now at strife and that the on- ly hope for our own possession of our home market will be the erection of the highest of high tariff walls about 1t. It Is the purpose of this article to demonstrate that in so holding the G. O. P. turns to the broken bottles of the past to hold the new wine of the commercial future of America.
 When the war is over we shall face a totally new situation in foreign trade. Up till August, 1914, we were debtors internationally. Every year we exported far more than we i'm ported, the excess going to pay inter- est and dividends to foreign creditors and foreign holders of our stocks. This normal export balance is sign of a debtor nation. It is characteris- tic of the trade of Russia, Japan, Peru, Argentina, Chile, the United States. On the other hand, the normal trade of Great Britain, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary and Italy has for years shown a large import balance. These nations owned so many over seas enterprises and had so much money lent beyond their own domains that, taking their pay in the products of the debtor countries, as they needs must, they received more goods than they sent out.
 Now for the situation after the war. During the past two years the Unit ed States, as nearly as we can tell, has changed from a debtor to a credi- tor nation. It is not money lent to new and undeveloped countries like Brazil and Argentina that has wrought this charge; 1t Is money lent to the great manufacturing nations of Eu- rope.
 How will they pay our dividends and interest?
 Not in gold. We have, during the past two years, received some $45O,- 100000 gold on balances, and to take more would mean to weaken the foun- dations of international credit so far as to invite a general European fnan- cial smash which would destroy the ability of our European debtors to pay their debts. We cannot, generally speaking, take raw materials from our European debtors for the very suffi- cient reason that they haven't got them; we are ourselves sellers of raw materials to Europe. There is but one thing left; we must take Europe's manufactured goods in amounts alto gether new to our former experience, simply because Europe owes us, must pay and has nothing else to pay with. This Is not going to happen by reason of anybody's desire or choice, nor can It be staved off by any kind of legis- lation, political change or trade pol icy. When Smith owes Jones, Jones must take what Smith has to pay with, or go unpaid.

The making of good roads is one of the most important duties of the American people, and their prompt repair and careful maintenance is es- sential.
 There is probably no subject in which the progressive farmer is more deeply interested than that of having roads connecting him with his mar kets, over which he may be able to haul the greatest possible load.
