How to Tell a Good Road From a Bad
Road.
To the children: In getting facts
to write your essays for the prize
contest on the repair and maintenance
of earth roads, use your eyes. Look
at a bad piece of road and a good
piece of road, when both are dry.
Study, particularly, the ruts, and
holes and uneven places in the road
to see whether they make it easier
or harder for the wheels of a loaded
wagon to go along. Study the kind
of footing that the two roads give to
horses.
Now, study the same stretches of
road after a good rain storm. You
will Bee that one road holds small
puddles, or pools, of water that keep
the road soft and allow it to be cut
up by the wheels of the wagons and
hoofs of the horsea. How do road
builders keep water from gathering on
the traveled way of a road? Should
a road slope to the side ditches?
How much higher should the center,
or crown, of the. road be than . the
outside edges of the road? Why do
good ditches at the side of the road
help make the oenter of the road bet
ter for hauling ? What happens when
ditches get full of rubbish or weeds?
when a ditch along roads holds water
or collects it into pools, how does this
injure the road?
Using a Drag on Earth Roads.
Have you ever seen a home-made
road drag? It is made by splitting
in two a log a or -eight inches in
thickness and about six or eight feet
long. The two halves of the log are 3
ft. apart with smooth faces forward
and upright. They are fastened
together with braces. A pair of horses
are hitched to a chain fastened to
the front half of the log. Should
these logs be drawn straight down
the road or should it be drafted nt a
slant so that a little of th? , loose
earth will' slide toward th? c;nter of
the road? Should tfco lrav?, 'io
started next to the duc'i - : ho
center of the road? Shou!d yc: ('rare

FEDERAL COURT.
Fall Term Will Begin in Wilmington
November 11 Jurors.
Wilmington Star, 27th.
The regular fall term of United
States District Court will convene in
this city Tuesday, November 11th,
with Judge H. G. Connor presiding.
This will be the first term in months
but there are not a great many cases
waiting disposition, this being due to
the fact that criminal offenses have
been few in this district for the past
several years. There are probably not
more than 25 or 30 criminal cases
appearing on the docket at tlie pres
ent time. There has also been a
paucity in civil' business. j
Jurors for the term were drawn
yesterday by Mr.' S. P. Colliers, the J
clerk.

rained ? A good strong pair of horses
with a well-built drag can drag
about three or four miles of road in
a day. What would it cost a farmer
to drag four miles of road? How
would he be repaid for the cost of his
labor?
Remember, children, you are not
to answer these questions as if you
were answering an examination pa
per. . You are to think about the an
swers and aak people for information
and watch people actually working
on roads, and then write a composition
that will be just the same as if you
were writing a letter to a friend, tell
ing him, or her, how they made the
earth road near you better, and keep it
from getting full of holes, ruts, and
puddles.
