HIS RIVAL
By AGNES q. 1RooAN.

Jimmie Taylor watched many eve

his sweetheart bent over her knitting.
This devotion to gray yarn, in his pres.

pated happy hours We're spoiled by
Gracie's absent-minded responses to
his personal conversation-for Jimmie
was discussing the possibilities Of
their new home.
He had counted upon his flancee's
enthusiasm and help, as they would
plan together the furnishings of that
home which was long-dreamed-of
goal. But during the stress Of war
time Oracle had been distract, indiffer-
ent. What could have caused. the
change? Surely, oh, surely, and Jim
mie had caught his breath at the
thought, she could not have ceased to
care: neither could anyone else have
come between them.
Night after night, and day after
day she had sat at his side here in her
mothers comfortable living room. with
no intruder to cause him apprehen-
sion.
"Shall we have the dining room in
delft blue, dear?" he had asked one
evening.
"M.m.m.n," murmured the girl unin-
telligibly, as she was counting stitches.
"Or old rose?" queried Jim.
Gracie's eyes had rested for mo-
ment upon him blankly.a They were
very beautiful eyes, and the lover pa
dentiy waited. II, iss
Presently Oracle rolled up the knit
ding and slipped It into her gay-colored
bag, coming close to rest her hand on
his shoulder. Jimmie" she had

yond the age limit is no reason why
you should not sacrifice, too, in your

Jimmie. Yourself only to provide for,
you could give most generously to the
causes, and I am well cared for at
home. Later, in peaceful time, we
might more conscientioVsly realize our
future Joy, but now"
Oracle had paused then, quite out

1t Is fully as important that road
be dragged at the right time as it is
that the dragging be properly done.
Furthermore, the difficulties involved
In prescribing definite rules for deter
mining when dragging should be done
are equally as great as those already
encountered In attempting to define
how it should be done. Only very gen.
eral statements concerning this fea-
ture of the work can properly be made
here, and much must be left to the ex-
perienced judgment of those who de-
eide when the dragging of any particu-
lar road is to be started and when It
is to be stopped.
The rule frequently cited that all
earth roads should be dragged imme-
diately after every rain, is In many
cases entirely impracticable and is also
The patriot. (Glenmora, La.) 1918-1955, 1919-05-23

very misleading because Of the condi-
tons which it fails to contemplate. 1t
Is true that there are many road sur
faces composed of earth or earthly ma
terial which do not become very muddy
under traffic, even during long rainy
seasons, and since such surfaces usu-
ally tend to harden very rapidly as
soon as the weather clears up. it may
be desirable to drag roads of this kind
Immediately after rain. Such roads,
however would not ordinarily need to
be dragged after every rain, because
of the strong tendency that they nat
urally possess of holding their shape.
On the other hand, many varieties of
clay and soil tend to become very
muddy under only light traffic after
very moderate rains, and. 1t is evident
that roads constructed Of such ma
terials could not always be success
fully dragged Immediately after rain.
Sometimes, in fact, it may be neces-
sary to wait until several consecutive
clear days have elapsed after long
rainy spell before the road is sufficient
~ dried out to keep ruts from forming
almost as rapidly as they can be filed
by dragging.
Well-constructed sand-clay topsoil
roads should not often become muddy
after they are once well compacted.
They may become seriously rutted,
however, under heavy traffic, during
rainy weather, and are almost sure to
need dragging several times each year.
Such roads should ordinarily be drag
ged as soon after a rain as prac-
ticable as otherwise the surface soon
becomes dry and hard, so that 1t is
necessary to do considerably more
dragging IN order to fill the ruts. Fur
fhermore, the material which the drag
moves will not compact readily unless
t contains a considerable amount Of
moisture.
Gravel roads can be effectively main
tained with a road drag only when the
gravel composing the surface Is fine
grained and contains a considerable
quantity of clay earth. Gravel road
surfaces in which this condition pre-
walls not infreQuentIy get badly out Of
shape during wet weather. and may
sometimes require considerably more
attention than wellsconstructed sand
day topsoiI roads. The time for drag
ging gravel roads is unqnestionabiy
while they are wet. In fact, the best
results are sometimes obtained by do
Ing the dragging after the road has be-
come thoroughly soaked and while It
IS still raining.
In general, it may be said that the
BEST time to drag any type OF road IL
sIlen the material composing the sur.
ACE contains sufficient moisture to
compact readily after it has been
poved By the drag and is not suffl-
,iently wet for the traffic following the
