WILSON DAY AT BISMARCK.
Thousands From All Parts Of The
State on Hand To Ses Presi-

Wilson Day at Bismarck last week
proved to be all that could have been
e~pected. Weather conditions were
ideal, and thousands upon thousands
of visitors from all parts Of the state
were on hand to see the president.
|. In order to protect his voice. the
president would not agree to speak
outdoors. The auditorium was the
only other place available, and some
twelve hundred people managed to
rain admission. More than ten t;mes
that number had to content them
selves with sight Of the nations
head.
TTThe special train. bearing Pres.
and Mrs. Wilson and their party ar
rived at II a. m. on the 10th Of the
month. Members Of Lloyd Spetz
Post of the American Legion furnish
ed guard for the day, and they were
stationed near the depot to keep the
crowds back 10 tht the presidential
party could get through. Thousands
lined the streets that led to the audi
torium.
Erly in the day couple Of aeroplanea
performed for the spectators, and
thousands saw their fair aeroplane
that day. In the meantime, ell those
who could get cards Of admission had
lined up at the auditorium. and the
nlace was filled half hour before the
president was due. to arrive. Conn
'nunitv singing kant them conteptec
for half hour. Shortly after II the
president and his party arrived and
entered by the stage entrance. The
crowd rose and cheered as he entered
the building. Gov. Frazier at once
introduced the nations executive. and.
he at once launched into his talk in
favor Of the peace treaty and the
league Of nations.
Wilson's remarks on the grandeur
If the United States never failed to
bring plaudits from the audience, but
his points on the league itself did not
seem to arouse any great enthusiasm.
The writer JUDGED that the audience
was not particularly familiar with the
provisions of the league Of nations,
nor its DISABILITY 30 far as the United
States is concerned.
There was plenty Of enthusiasm for
the nations head as such. And that
the president has vast powers Of APP
peal in his manner of speech cannot
be gainsaid. But, by the use Of log
ic. he did not 70 very deeply into the
disputed points Of the league plan it.

minutes in making his address, and
then enjoyed an auto trip about the

ROAD
BUILDING
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
Principal Factor Is Skill on Part Of
Operator-Suggestions Given
as Guide.

(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
che principal factor in successfully
operating properly constructed road
drag, provided that the condition of
the road is favorable, is skill on the
part OF the operator. Such skill can
be obtained only by intelligent expert
ence IN the use of the drag, and no
rules can be laid down which would
enable an inexperienced operator to
produce first-class results. The fol-
lowing suggestions are intended. there
fore, to serve rather as a guide to the
judgment than as criterion to be i'm
plicity followed.
Under ordinary circumstances the
position of the hitching link on the
draw chain should be such that the
runners will make an angle of from
6O to % degrees with the center line
OF the road, or, in other words, a skew
angle Of from Is to 80 degrees. 1t is
apparent that by shifting the position
OF the hitching link the angle Of skew
1nay be Increased or diminished as the
conditions require. When dragging
Immediately over ruts or down the
center of the road after the sides have
been dragged, it is usually preferable
to have the hitching link at the center
OF the chain and to run the drag with
out skew. When the principal pur-
pose OF the dragging is to increase the
crown OF the road, the drag should be
sufficiently skewed to discharge all
material as rapidly as it is collected
on the runners. On the other hand, If
expressions occur in the road surface,
the skew may perhaps be advantage
ously reduced to a minimum, thus en-
abling the operator to deposit the ma
terlal which collects in front of the
runners at such points as he desires
Dy lifting or otherwise manipulating
the drag. Many other examples of cen
dltlOns which require notifications in
the angle of skew might easily be
cited, but these will readily suggest
themselves to an intelligent operator
as his experience increases.
The length of hitch is another very
important consideration in operating q
road drag. In the designs which have
been discussed the draw chain may be
readily taken up Jr let out at either
end and the length of hitch thus in
creased or diminished as desired. 1t
Is impracticable to prescribe even an
approximate rule for fixing the length
Of hitch, because it is materially af.
fected by the height of the team and
the arrangement of the harness, as
well as by the condition of the road
surface. Experience will soon teach
the operator, however, when to short

Trick
German BOmberS

electrically lighted mill was a bright
target for the German bombers, ran
electric wires into the heavy woods for
distance of One-third Of q mile from
the mill and installed number of cleo
trlc lights on the trees. Whenever an
alarm of an air raid came, the lights
vi the mill were eXtinguished and the
llShts among the trees One-third of a
mile from the mill were lighted by
switching on the current and were kept
blazing While the Germans wasted
bombs on them and inflicted damage
only on some Of the trees.
"Other mills up along the fighting
front were also bombed frequently, but
without serious damage"
Continuing his statement about some
of the wonders accomplished by this
regiment Of lumbermen and foresters
during the war, Mr. Ridstlale writes in
the American Forestry Magazine:
The regiment was composed Of 40
companies Of approximately 25O men
each, divided into II battalions and
having connected with it 3G engineer
service companies or labor troops. 1t
was organized originally to contain 4S
companies, but the Forty-ninth was
added in France, being composed of
members of the New ENGLAND saw mill
unit who had spent almost two years
IN cutting in the Scotch forests. Three
officers and 90 men volunteered as a
nucleus of this cG1nnany The full
complement was secured by getting
men from other organizations.
THE chief forest cutting Of the regi-
ment was in the Vosges section, with
Epinal as headquarters. At Eclaron,
in the forests of Argonne, was the lar
gest single installation a mill capable
of shipping, as it did, on average of
5000 ties a day. This mill furnished
duck boards, bridge timbers, piles and
poles, etc, for the First and Second
armies.
'At the time the armistice was
signed, the regiment had 81 lumber
mills in operation and u more being
insHllled''
The contingent with the First and
Second American armies at the fight
ing front managed to secure and MAIN
tain a production of about 5000 cords
of wood day, which supplied fuel for
approximately 100000 troops.

Standing on Drag While in Operation.

Standing on Drag While in Operation.
amount of cutting done by the front
runner and when to lengthen it in Or
der to produce the opposite effect.
When the road surface is sufficient
y hard or the amount of material
which it is desired to have the drag
move is sufficient to warrant the op-
orator standing upon the drag while it
is in operation, he can greatly faci.i-
tate its work by shifting his weight at
proper times. For example, if it is de-
sired to have the drag discharge more
rapidly, the operator should move to-
ward the discharge end of the runners.
This will cause the ditch end of the
runners to swing forward and thus in
crease the skew angle of the drag.
The operator may, of course, produce
the opposite effect by moving hic
weight in the opposite direction. In
the same way, he can partially control
the amount Of cutting which the dra g
does by shifting his weight backward
or forward, as the case may be.
An intelligent and interested opera
tor will soon learn many simple ways
By means of which he can easily con-
troll the different features of the work
which drag performs, and he will
also learn to utilize effectively every
effort which his team eXerts.

Meat Production
SmaSheS Record

ity of the people, as whole. enabled
them 10 afford the increased cost. In
TACT, laboring people probably con-
sumed more meat during the last year
than in prewar times.
The total number of cattle slaugh-
tered in 1918 is estimated at Is, 5,75O. 400
as against 13,723,9OO in 1917. Their
average weights were practically the
same for both years, and the beef pro-
duced from them was 6,6S6,OOO,OO0
pounds in 1917 and 7.641 900. 900
pounds in 1918. This was remarkable
achievement, as it hardly would have
been credited that beef growers could
increase their production a million
pounds in one year.
Results Called Stupendous
The hog natures quickly, therefore
much more rapid increase. would be
looked for than was the case with cat
tie. Even so, the results for 1918 can
be described Cnly as stupendOus. The
hogs marketed in 1918 numbered Co.
So4, 100, as against 81 .4S3, 800 in 1917.
Furthermore, the average weight was
nine and half pounds more per hog
in 1918. Thus when the animals are
turned into pork and lard we have a
total production of 1925, ,664 900
pounds in 1918, as against S.47S, $780,
600 pounds in 1917, an increase of 3
1885, 900 pounds, or 32.4 per cent,
nearly One-third."
Striking increases in exports also are
shown by the bureau. Beef shipments
abroad in 1918 were "a per cent more
than in 1917-the chief 1918 items be-
ing 514.0O0OOO pounds of fresh beef
and 141, 100000 pounds of canned beef
Exports of pork and lard in 1918
amounted to 2,279, ,2S7 ,O3O-which was
1T per cent more than the quantity
sent abroad in 1917.

Life of Candle Flame

Laboratory experiments conducted
Of late have shown that candle flame
will become eXtinguished when the
oxygen content of the atmosphere in
which it is burning falls to about 45
per cent. Sulphur stops burning when
all but l3.5 per cent of the oxygen in
an inclosed space has been exhausted.
The case of charcoal, however, is
notable. Combustion continues until
only 9 per cent Of the oxygen remains.
