IMPORTANCE OF ROAD DRAGs
More to the Work Than Standing on
implement Holding Reins Over
Team of Horses.

Perhaps the ease Of dragging the
road and the simplicity of the King
road drag has been overemphasized.
At any rate, there is more to road
dragging than standing on a drag and
holding the reins over team Of
horses. And there is more to drag
building than merely pinning together
of the two slabs of split log. On the
other hand, almost any sort Of driv-
ing down the road with the roughest
possible pair of slabs, slapped together
in any old way, will change the or
binary road for the better.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My life
las been very happy and uneyent-
full until lately. / married when l
was Il. Now / am 80 years old and
the father of three wonderful chill
dren. The woman 4 married has
been the best of wives and mothers
and | have been very contented in
my choice. My wife is three years
older than myself, which | am sure
you will say ought make no differ
-euce. She was beautiful at the time
[ married her, but now she is plain.
The thing | feel most keenly, how
ever, is the fact that she is extreme
" selfish. She is always demand
ing things for herself and as surely
as she knows l want something she
refuses 10 have it in the house.
My wife's younger sister has re-
Gently come to live with us. she is
even more beautiful than my wife

and she is so afraid she Will be III
the way and not wanted that | just
couldn't help loving her. Her par
ents are dead and she is living with
US because she has no other place
to go. l am positively worried be-
cause / think of nothing but nay liz
tie sister-in-law. 1t sounds weak
TO admit this, but / don't know just
how things are going to end. DO
you think 1 ought TO- confess TO
either nv wife or Sister-in-law the
way I feel so that If they think best
we can arrange for her to 1--we
somewhere else?
The part which I like to tell the
least is that the little girl loves
me, too. l am sure of this, because
of her eyes when we are alone. l
wouldn't do anything to hurt her
for worlds. DOUBTFUL.
Your sister-in-law is so young
that she will not love you seriously
as long as you conceal the state of
your feelings. You must have char
cater enough to control yourself
and master your thoughts. Do not
allow yourself to dream of the girl,
because so much danger lies in day
dreaming and letting thoughts run
riot. Do not confess to either your
wife or sister-in-law, but meet the
situation manfully.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have
boy friend who is II years old. He
is very jealous. When l speak to
another boy or talk about any other
boy to him he gets angry. What is
the best way to treat a boy like
this? / think a great deal of him.
