GOOD
ROADS
IMPORTANCE OF WAGON ROAD
One, Drawback to Fall Of Rain 10 That
Roads Are Made impossible
for Several Days.

But for one fact, all Of US could re-
jOice In this rain, meaning as much
as it does to the growing crops. The
one drawback Is the unfortunate fact
that the rain will make the roads al
most impossible for several days. But
the rain is not to blame for this state
of affairs. We are. We ought to have
roads on which the only effect of rain
would be to wash them clean-just as
it does with the city pavements. And
it's not for the joy-riders alone that
we need such roads, says Wichita
Eagle. II we had good roads, farmers,
who can't work In their fields after a
rain, could do their hauling on such
days. Now the rain that prevents
working the fields prevents hauling to
market, except light loads, and ut a
prohibitive cost. The wagon haul Of
agricultural products is infinitesimal in
distance, as compared with the rail
and water haul, yet it costs actually
more, according to government sta
tistics. For the benefit of the farmer
we need good roads.

MAINTAIN ROADS WITH DRAG
No Better or Cheaper Way Of Keeping
Highways in Good Order Than
by Using implement.

Road dragging is SO simple an under
taking, providing the road to be drag
ged Is first graded, drained and shaped
properly, that summary of its bene-
fits cannot be presented too often,
writes George B. Harrison in Farmers
Mail and Breeze. Anyone can make
drag and even boy can keep a piece
Of road in good shape with the proper
instruction at the beginning. A 10
inch or Pinch log between s and 9
feet long or two 3 by IL planks with
2 by 6 reinforcing strips of the same
length, four cross sticks, chain,
boards for the platform and metal
wearing strip are certainly procurable
anywhere.
The theory in road dragging which
has proved practicable for road i'm
provement is to smooth and shape up
the puddled earth of a road to fill the
ruts and holes and force the water off
the roadway. "Puddled" earth on a
road is the wet earth which has been
worked up by traffic so that it is dense
and when cOmpacted will not let the
water seep away. If this ,mpacting
is done without any direction ruts and
holes appear and hold the water and
make bad road. But if the puddled
earth be spread smoothly over the sur
face of the road with somewhat of a
rounded effect it dries firm and hard

and the water, instead of standing in
the road and making the holes deeper.
must run off to the side-and the trav-
eler has a good road.
The road dragger, or "dragman," as
he usually is called, is like clay work
err when he shapes up the puddled
earth and smOoths the road. He puts
the surface in condition and gets the
standing water off, and the roadbed
dries in that condition instead of hold
ing the water and letting the traffic
work the ruts deeper. The dragman
could not shape this up with dust any
more than the clay worker could fash
ion his image with dry dirt. But If he
gets out right after rain, while the
earth is puddled, he can work his road
and the traffic will help him, for the
surface. That is why it is so import
ant to drag when the roads are not too
dry to puddle or compact. Perhaps
the traffic is sufficient to cut up the
road after it is dragged, and this dis
cOurages the man who does the drag
ging. But in that case he should fol-
low over the road and do 1t again If
necessary and win the fight for good
road. If he waits until the road Is
dry because the vehicles rut up his
dragged road he will simply plane OF
the surface and not remove the trOu-
BILE. If he drags second or perhaps
third time he will work toward q
hard surface, impervious to water and
with a minimum of dust, which Is the
evidence of a well-dragged highway.
Perhaps, if the vehicles cut a road
when it is first being dragged, the driv-
ers may be persuaded to drive by the
side, If that is feasible, while the road
Is first drying out or freezing.

not been thrown away, even if we

Thoughts Of Today
pardaneIIes Failure a Blessing.

The salvation of the allies in this
present war was the failure at the
Dardanelles. Had the allies pushed
through and linked up with Russia,
the corrupt Russian empress and her
Germanized court would have drained
the resources of the allies in guns and
munitions and would have betrayed
all their plans to the Kaiser. The
aristocratic section of Russia was pro-
German, as were also the Socialists,
who came from America. You see how
these Russian sections can fraternize
with those loathsome beasts today
that is, the SociaIistic thinkers of Rus
sia Their hands are more deeply red
with Russian blood than even the I'M
perial Car, with all his bloody Sun
days and weekdays. To have brought
the noble and highminded French and
British people into close contact with
these infamous blackguards would
have ended in their destruction by be-
trayal to Germany. The Roumanian
people were handed over by the Rus
slams, both aristocrats and Socialists,
for slaughter. Why would they have
spared the allies?

What Germany Will Escape.

The revolutions in the Central En-
pires were not due to the losses in bat
tie, but were entirely due to economic
causes. Through the system of the
monopoly of the land and its resources,
the rich grew fewer in number, but
richer in money" while the poor grew
in greater numbers and poorer in ne
cessities. The wealthy" classes in
Austria and Germany would have been
rich beyond the dreams of avarice had
they won the war, for they would
have held the bonded debts of these
countries in their possession, through
which their governments could have
turned over to them by means of Gin
terest' on these bonds, all the wealth
of the outside world, which they could
have confiscated by taxes. The poor
Germans and Austrians, owning neither
lands nor bonds, would have become
servile and abject to the rich in great
er measure than even before. Let us
look at our own condition in this
country, where a few own the land.
What will have become of our Liberty
Bonds by the time they are due for
payment?
