'Steel Is n.kind of iron which can easily be hammered out thin without cradling and can be made extremely hard by being heated and then cooled quickly. It is' different from ordinary iron because of the amount of carbon in it. Wrought Iron, contains less car "bon than steel and so It cannot be made so hrrd; cast iron contains more and so Is brii'e. Taking Up Our Time. Sometime we are going to figure up how many hours a day of our telephon ing time is devoted to listening patient ly to sweet voices saying that they know they ought not to disturb us at oxr work. Ohio State Journal. A Nincompoop. "Nincompoop" is a most entirely sat isfying and refined way of calling a person a fool or blockhead or a sim pleton. It is a corruption of the Latin phrase "non compos mentis" not sound of mind. Besides being satisfy ing and refined It has a classical" origin i in addition. Why Hair Stands on End. When hair stands on end on the back of a dog or cat when frightened it is moved by tiny muscles attached to the roots. The hair follicle is like a little seed buried in the llesh. At tached to ei;her side of this seed are tiny muscles which run diagonally through tlw flesh from The lower part of the folUc!?. These little muscles are like the guy ropes of a tent. They are what are called the erector mus cles, and when fear or cold is expe rienced these muscles promptly tighten up in such a manner as to "hoist" the hair .very quickly. DRAG ROADS AT PROPER TIME Fully as Important as It Is That High ways Should Be, Done Right Keep Ruts From Forming. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) It is fully as important that a 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 bere, and much must be left to the ex perienced judgment of those who de cide 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 NEW TEED STORE!

' JOHN ORR & CO., Tryoh, N. C. Phone No. 14 Drag on a North Carolina Road. very misleading because of the condi tions .which it fails to contemplate. It is true that there are many road sur faces composed of earth or earthy ma terial which do not become very muddy under traffic, even during hong 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 a 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 shae. On the other hand, many varieties of clay and soil tend to become very muddy under only light traffic after very moderate rains, and, it is evident that roads constructed of such ma terials could not always be success fully dragged immediately after a rain. Sometimes, in fact, it may be neces sary to wait until several consecutive clear days have elapsed after a long rainy spell before the road is sufficient ly dried out to keep ruts from forming almost as rapidly as they can be rilled 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 toyf 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 it Is necessary to do considerably more dragging In order to fill the ruts. Fur thermore, the material which the drag moves will not compact readily unless it contains a considerable amount of moisture. Gravel roads can be effectively main tained with a roaddrag 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 vails not Infrequently get badly out of shape during wet weather, and may sometimes require considerably more attention than well-constructed sand clay topsoil roads. The time for drag ging gravel roads is unquestionably -while they are wet. In fact, the best results are sometimes obtained by do Inf 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 is when the material composing the sur face contains sufficient moisture to compact readily after . it has been moved by the drag and is not suffi--ciently wet for the traffic following the drag to produce mud. Change in Road Sentiment. When we consider the fact that such a large proportion of our population are owners of automobiles It Is not difficult to understand the change in sentiment in regard to road building that has recently developed.
