SECRET OF IMPROVED ROADS
Every Farmer Must Do His Part In
Keeping Highways Dragged
Work Is Appreciated.

The secret of good roads Is for every
farmer to do his part in keeping them
dragged, according to the Lyman COun-
ty Farm Bureau News. County Agent
Lewallen writes further: Road drag
ging fits in about the best of any work
on the farm, for q fellow can drag
for q few hours when it is too wet to
get into the field, and he certainly ap-
preciates having it when it is time to
go to town with the wagon or the auto.
Farmers who have dragged the roads
have the thanks of all other farmers In
the country and the praise Of all Wis
itors. But the roll of honor should be
increased.
ut seems queer that so easily con-
structed an implement as a road drag
can create such wonders o heavy
roads. The best way to convince your
self is to drag your own stretch Of
road. If you have already dragged
it every farmer who has gone over it
Is talking about it and wishing to
goodness that you had gone on a couple
Of miles farther"

OUTLOOK FOR ROAD MAKING

making and the more general use Of
tho roads for heavy hauling. 1t Is like
ly that the roads as they exist will not
he able to withstand the hard usage,
and the outlook is dubious for the au-
tomObile. Many industrial companies
are making use of fleets of trucks to
deliver their goods, instead of subject
ing themselves to the uncertainties of
the railroad service and the wear and
tear on the roads thus made use of is
more than they can take care of. This,
more than ever, makes it evident that
there should be some very decided re-
forms made in the matter Of road
building. The makeshift repairs which
have heretofore been made are not
now sufficient, and all new road-build-
ing work should be made on the most
substantial lines.

He sat forward on the edge Of his
chair, and told her of the students at
the university, who were being fired
by some powerful voice; Of the dis
appearance of the two spies; Of the
evidence that the Committee of Ten
was meeting again. and the failure to
discover their meeting place; of dis
affection among the people, according
to the reports of his agents. And then
to the real purpose of his visit. Karl

himself preached the matter to the
king, who had at least taken 1t under

"But powerful, madame. And

There was nothing else, and she

uneasy. undertaking to put, as one may
say, a flea into the Princess Hedwig's
small ear.

who did most Of the talking.
And Herman hated Peter. The cash.

But Herman's hatred grew with the
days. And business being bad. much
Of the time he stood behind his linens
and thought about a certain matter,
which was this:
How did Peter Niburg do it7
They were paid the same scant
wage. Each Monday they stood to-
gether, Peter smiling and he frownlng,
and received into open palms exactly
enough to live on, without extras. And
each Monday Peter pocketed his cheer
fully, and went back to his post, twirl-
Ing his mustache as though all the
money Of the realm jingled In his
trousers.
To accept the inevitable, to smile
over ones poverty, that Is n thing.
But there was more to 1t. Peter made
his money 60 amazingly far. 1t was
Peter, for instance, who the summer
had opened to the public, with much
crossing Of flags, the national emblem
and the stars and stripes. II was Peter
who had invited the lady to an eve

many things; had secretly audited his
cash slips; had watched him for sur
reptitious parcels Of silk. Once he had
thought he had him. But the package
Of Lyons silk, opened by the pro-

TO be material for a fancy w%aistcoat,
and paid for by Peter Niburg's W
hand.

suspicious. And now, this very day,
he had stumbled on something. A
great lady from the court had made a
purchase, and had left, under a roll
Of silk, a letter. There was no mis-
take. And Peter Nlburg had put
away the silk, and pocketed the letter,
after q swift glance over the little
shop.

WAR AND GOOD WILL

There was a short interval, few
months ago, when well informed men
believed that the world would be out
of the wilderness of war by Christmas.
The disintegration Of Russia and the
invasion of Italy swept the possibility
away and peace on earth seems as
remote as in any preceding year since
1914. We have prophets who do not
hesitate to foretell five more years OF
fighting, though any prophet wise
enough to be right in such prophecy
is also wise enough to see that five
more years means such complete
change in the character of modern civ
ilization, and that change, rather than
the immediate causes and results of
the war, is likely to be the event that
will live in history.
But, though peace is impossible,
good will among men is not. 1t is
true that a great many Americans
seem to think it impossible; that rab-
id intolerance and blind hate are now
classed by many of US among the ir-
tues; that our first plunge into inter-
nationalism has been accompanied by
the development, contrary to the spirit
and purpose of our Intervention, Of a
