DRAGGING IS OF IMPORTANCE
Road Improvement May Well Be Con.
sidered Reconstruction Measure
Increases Farm Values.

Roads should not be neglected at this
time in our endeavor to increase food
production. Road improvement might
well be deemed a reconstruction meas
ure. In many communities they arc
much better than in others because the
farmers are back of the good roads
movement. They realize that a good
road saves labor, time, horse flesh and
automobile repairs and in addition In
creases the selling value Of the farm.
Every progressive farmer should
have a road drag and not be afraid to
use it. A well-dragged road is we'll
crowned road, and well-drained road
The dragging should follow each rain
If properly used it will bring thin lay
er of earth toward the center of the
road at each dragging. The travel will
roll and solidify it between rains.
On roads where too much crown Las
been formed the angle of the drag can
be reversed. A few draggings will re-
duce the high crown to more level
and much safer road for fast automo-
bile traffic.

New York.-Maj. Gen. ]. Franklin
Bell, commander of the department OF

His death was due to heart disease
He was taken to the hospital for OBJ

came as a complete surprise. Gen.
Bell was 63 years old.
Gen. Bell was West Pointer Of the
class of 1878, and during his 40 years
in the army had many difficult assign

in the Indian campaigns. He was
first lieutenant in the Seventh Cavalry

There is return to far-off and

There are pleated skirts of red flag

Children Lead Fashions.
The season has impressed upon
those who are interested in juvenile
clothes the fact that the youngsters
are sometimes we'll in the lead with
new fashions and that their elders
stumble along after them.
Once upon a time, when the world
was young and cruel, it considered 1t
correct for children to be encased in
bones and costumed in brocade and
metal, heavy embroideries, long skirts
and stifily-pointed bodices. 1t was
cruel to make youth the resemblance
of age. Today we make age the re-
semblance of youth. In that lies our
virility, our enthusiasm and our SAN
ity. The children lead the way in
belts around hips, short sleeves
shocked blouses, bobbed hair, socks,
low-heeled shoes, straight lines and
uncorseted figures. Their mothers,
and sometimes their grandmothers,
initiate them.
1t behooves women to look upon this
parade of fashions with interest. for
the little human flags running dowr
the path of fashion today are blazing
the way FOR us.
