Many a soldier who bravely
stood at his post during the late
war, is covered with badges. We
would not take one from him, he
merits them; but many an coz

post of duty for thirty or forty
or even half a century, fighting
with sickness. poverty and dis
couragement and with true Spar
tan courage kept the wolf from
the door and saved the lives of a
large family of children. The
man who saves one life receives
prize for bravery. his picture ap-
pears in the metropolitan papers,
and he wears medal which says
to the world that he was brave.
And he was. But the woman who
has saved the lives of many is
given no badge, and seldom a.

seive a Carnegie medal for brav-

ROAD DRAG is AN EFFEC-
TIVE DEVICE FOR MAIN
TANNING SIMPLER
TYPES OF ROADS.

When it is appreciated that of
more than 100000 miles of pub
lie roads in the United States only
about 100000 miles have been Civ
en- hard surface, and of these
100000 miles approximately one
half are surfaced with gravel, the
Importance of every effective de.
Vice for maintaining the simpler
types of roads becomes readily
apparent. 1t should be observed
In this connection that large
part Of our total mileage of puD-
lie roads is entirely unimproved
and that the road drag is of lit
tie use in improving sand or CLAW
roads which have never been
crowned Or drained. A much
larger part. however, has been
sufficiently improved to make the
work of the drag effective, and it
IS unGuestionably true that the
magnitude Of this part is steadily |
increasing.
Notwithstanding the fact that

road drags, made of wood or a
combination of wood and metal,
have been in use for at least two
generations and were described IL
a textbook published as early as
1851, the benefits to be derived
from using them are. even now,
far from being generally under
stood. This caft is thoroughly
evidenced by the prevalence OF
very unsatisfactory roads upon
which considerable more money is
annually expended in hauling ma
terials to fill holes and ruts than
would be required to maintain the
roads lin good condition by the i'll.

There Is hardly farmer who
cannot do advertising to advant-
ase. Ons Of the greatest Of farm
problems u that of selling what
i grown. A man may grow q big
crop but unless he can dispose Of
Il at : profit he would be better
on TO have grown no crop at all.
Advertising may be used to adj
vantage in selling crops when
they are so large that they will
not be taken by local demands.
This is true of almost any farm
prodnct-potatoes, apples, live
stock, poultry. cane syrup, and
hundreds Of other things.
The kind Of publication to adj
@ertise in depends on conditions.
If farmer has only a small
amount Of q product to dispose
OF, he should confine his advertis.
ing to local newspapers. If he
has very much to sell. however,
he will have to enlarge his adver.
ti~in~ campaign to other publi-
cations. The Progressive Farmer.

have appealed to the American
people In behalf of these homeless
sufferers. whom the vicissitudes Of
war and massacre had brought to
the EXTREMIST need.
1.-The response has been most
generous, but now the period Of
rehabilitation is at hand. Vastly
larger sums will be required to
restore these once prosperous, but
now impoverished, refugees to
their former homes than were re-
CURED merely to sustain life in
their desert exile.

100000 Armenian, Syrian, Greek
and other war sufferers in the
Near East will require outside
lelp to sustain them through the
winter. Many Of them are now
hundreds of miles from their
homeland. The vast majority of
hem are helpless women and chill
lren. including 100000 orphans. |
