His Suggestion.

1.-THE majority of people In and
around Wayoverbehind declined to set
their clocks ahead, and are still going
by old time" said Farmer Hornbeak.
at seems to me tffats a. government
commission should be appointed to in
vestigate the matter. Those of us
who are outraged by the refusal of
those rhoss-gfown proerastinators to
act in harmony with us will feel that
we are going to, be avenged. and the
commission will move so slowly that
it will not be ready to commence to
do anything until after the time has
been changed back again, and then
there will be no cause for action. Ac-
coriingly those nonpIogressive but en-
tirely worthy persons will not be dis
turbed, and the rest Of us will have
the happy consciousness of having
done our whole duty when we shouted

It's the very latest wrinkle. The rings

The rings are gold or platinum, set

dainty metal finger with circlet at
the end through which you insert your
cigarette and then puff away. The
women wear the rings on their fore
fingers. The holder. according to the

How would you like to have six

Such was the experience of Sew.

ago. ..t fs~ 29~ "t
According to the guards own story,
he was In charge of six prisoners who
were digging hole near the rear Of
the Liberty hall at Andernach. On
three sides were walls Of such height
that It would be impossible for the
prisoners to scale them. On the re-

fixed and ever on the alert for disor-

Visions of serving the sentences of
the six fugitives flashed through the
mind of the guard. Then he decided
that some action must be taken, and
taken Immediately. He rushed to the
edge fof the hole and peered into its
depths. At first he found no clew to
the mystery. Then In one corner of
the excavation he saw few loose
bricks and an opening into what
seemed to be an underground passage
way. With one jump he reached this
opening, and showing his gun and bay
onet ahead of him. he crowded his
way along q narrow brick-lined tun-
mel. A few steps along this and he
found himself In a large cellar, amply
stocked with ancient vintages from
the vineyards along the Rhine.

prisoners, smiling at the discontinue

PLAN TO MAKE A ROAD DRAG
illustration Shows an. implement
Which Is Simple and inexpensive
Tough Wood Best.

prepared by the United States Depart.
mept of Agriculture.)
The accompanying Illustration shows
a typical design for road drag, which
is very simple and inexpensive. The
design contemplates the use Of an ordi-
nary log of timber, such as may be
readily obtained In almost every local.
ity. The log should be about or 8
inches In diameter and from 8 to 8 feet
long, and should preferably be of hard,
tough wood which will not decay very
rapidly when. exposed to the weather.
White oak, burr oak, chestnut, cedar,
hickory, walnut, or any similar wood
may be satisfactorily used, provided
that 1t Is well seasoned before the
drag Is put into use. Railroad ties
have been frequently used for this
purpose and possess the advantage
that they are already cut to about the
right length. In selecting the tie,
however, care should be exercised to
see that 1t Is of sound wood and Of
the proper size.
The drag is made by splitting or
saving the log into. two equal semi
cylinders, which are then framed to-
gether In the manner shown in the
illustration. The better of the two
pieces should form the front runner
of the drag, because 1t Is the ope sub
jected to the greater wear. Moreover,
while the front runner should always
be placed with the face forward, 1t is
claimed by MANY that better results
may be obtained by having the round
part Of the back runner go forward In
order to increases the smearing action
Of the drag. The two runners are
usually spaced from about 30 inches
20 36 inches apart, and are connected
In ladder fashion by means of cross
stakes or rungs, ID, Ao5 .I
The ends Of the rungs are ordinarily
fitted into Pinch auger holes, bored In
the runners, and are securely held In
place by means of end wedges. The
auger holes are so arranged that the
runners, when framed together, will
be displaced in. q longitudinal direc.
ton with respect to each other. The
object of this displacement, or Offset
as 1t Is usually termed, is to make the
ends Of the front and back runners
follow, approximately the same line OF
the road while the drag is in oper,
alton. The amount of displacement
therefore, should depend on the amount
Of skew necessary to make the drag
empty itself. But since this skew va
rles with the condition Of the road
surface, the proper Offset to be given
to runners cannot be definitely fixed
Under ordinary conditions an offset
of from about IL inches. to. about Il
inches will prove satisfactory.
In order to make it easy for man
to stand upon the drag and to shift his
weight properly when dragging over
hard surface. the drag should b
provided with two .1.inch boards paral
lei to the runners and nailed down. to
