The flret end lent commandment In
earth road maintenance i» to keep the
road well drained To Insure |ood
drainage the dltchee should he kept
open, all obstructions removed and
a smooth crown maintained. Ride
ditches of ample rapai tty should be
maintained with enfflcWnt fall to dls
poee of surface water. These ditches
In most places can bo constructed and
repaired with a road machine. The
road machine or grader may In g«n
eral be used effectively for this work.
The machine should be used when the
soil le damp so that It will pack and
bake Into a hard crust
All vegetable matter, such as sods
and weeds, should be kept out of the
road, as they make s spongy surface
which retatnB moisture Clods are
also objectionable for they soon turn
to duet or mud. Bowlders or loose
stoneB are equally objectionable If a
smooth surface Is to be * btalned.
A spilt log drag or some similar de-
vice le very useful In maintaining the
surface after snltahle dltrhea and
cross-sections have once been con-
structed This drag can bIbo bs
used to advantage on most gravel
roads as well as on earth road. The
principle Involved In dragging is that
clays and most heavy soils will puddle
tf worked when wet and set very bard
when dry. The little attention that
the earth road needs must bo given
promptly, therefore, and at the prop-
er time If the best results are to be
I obtained.
In dragging roads only a small
amount of earth Is moved. Just enough
to fill the ruts and depressions with
a tbln layer of plastic clay or earth

In the original draft, contemplated

law that opens the way for such a
plan of beautIflcatlon.
The state forestry board would per

such a plan could be best realized.
The activities *»f the annual arbor
days have not toon largely resultful in
the matter of roadside tree planting
Such r scheme can only he brought

persistently maintained effort But
the idea is a good one and should he

Warning
We are informed that at some cafes, res-
taurants and gardens beer and strong
drinks have been sold under the guise of
the popular soft drink, Bevo.
These reports have been confirmed suf-
ficiently to compel us to take action
The beverage Bevo enjoys the pro-
tection of both federal and state-
authority. In preparing it for sale and
in marketing it, we adopt every possible
precaution to protect the public against
imposition and to prevent evasion of the
law. Bevo is sold in bottles only, we
bottle all of it ourselves, and we have
adopted a kind of bottle, crown and seals
designed to prevent imitation.
We shall orrlit no measure within our
power to defend the authority under
which Bevo is manufactured and sold,
to protect the public from imposition,
and to safeguard the good name of this
Association.
We therefore give fair warning that we
shall refuse to sell our products to those
who are found guilty of the above
offense.

Using the Drag.
The drag should he light and should
be drawn over the read at an angle of
about 45 degrees. The driver Bhould
ride on the drag and r.honld not drive
faster than a walk. One nr two round
trips, the first straddling the wheel
tracks, Is usually sufficient to fill the
rots and smooth the surface. If neces-
sary, the road should be dragged after
every bad spell of weather, when the
soil is in proper condition to puddle
woll and still not adhere to the drag.
If the road Is very bad It may he
dragged when very wet and again
when it begins to dry out A few trips
over the road will give the operator
an Idea as to tho best ttroo to drag.
Drag at all acuBons out do not drag
a dry road.
The side slope or crown of an
earth road should be about one Inch
to tho foot. If tho crown becomes too
high It may he reduced by dragging
toward tho ditch tnBtead of from It.
if the drag cuts too much, the hitch
Bhould be shortened and the driver
should change his position cn the drag.
If It Is necessary to protect the face
of the drag with a strip of Iron, It
should be placed flush with the edge
of the drag and not projecting. A
catting edge should b« avoided as the
main object of the drag t« to move but
tlflcatlon of rami neighborhoods than
the lining of the highways with Bhade
trees.

STATE TO MAINTAIN HOADS
Amount Exceeding $160,000,000 Ex-
pended Annually for Construction
and Care of Highways.
Tho roallzatloil has become quite
genera) that. In order to render maxi-
mum service, state highway depart-
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance of local roads. For this
rlass of roads an amount exceeding
$16,000,000 is expended annually, with
comparatively little result to show la
tho form of improved road mileage for
this great outlay. The state of law* j
has met this situation by placing all j
the road work In the state under th#
direction of the state highway depart
ment
Traffic Is increasing so rapidly as to
cause excessive wear upon the roads,
especially In the vicinity cf congested
centers rf population. This results
In a heavy annual maintenance cost,
averaging In the large Eastern statos
not less than $753 per mile per annum.
Many experiments have been made
in the effort to devise types of road
which can be maintained at relatively
low cost Thus far, aside from the
cheaper forms of construction, the 1
states are depending upon the various
forms of bituminous macadam, con-
crete and vitrified brick road.    |
