AGB SIX. --- ' ROOD' MM TIME FOR DRAGGING ROADS Much Depends en Character of Road Material No Exact Ruli Will i Fit All Cases, " If clay Is mixed with water and "puddled" and then allowed to dry a hard, almost waterproof, and nearly dustless material Is formed. If a smooth, well shaped road could be con-structed of this material it would never become very muddy or very dusty, and would be an ideal earth road. Under ordinary conditions this Ideal Is not realized, because, after being puddled the earth dries in ruts and holes which are rough while dry and which hold water like dishes when It rains: If the muddy road, after Li Dragging Road In Fall. being puddled by the horses' hoofs and wagon wheels, can be smoothed out and properly shaped before dry-ing "then the Ideal Is attained, and this smoothing and shaping Is the work accomplished y the rood drag. The water standing In pools and pud-dles Is spread out over a larger sur-face, so that It dries quickly, the min-ute holes or pores In the clny are smeared over and closed, making the surface more nearly waterproof; the ruts and holes are gradually filled up and made smooth, and just enough earth Is moved toward the middle to give the proper crown. The result Is a smooth, hard, well-shape- d road which will shed water and never be-comes very muddy in wet weather or very dusty in dry weather. From the above discussion it can readily be seen that dragging should h done when the road is wet, or at least when It Is moist. The exact time to drag any given road will de-pend upon the character of the road material, and no exact rule can be given which will fit all cases. If traf-fic can be kept off from the dragged portion for awhile then the road may be dragged when It Is very wet and sloppy, but If wagons ave going to follow right behind the drag, making deep ruts as soon as the old ones are filled up, the dragging must be deferred until the road has partly dried out. Good Judgment and experi-ence on the part of the operator will soon tell hlra what Is the best time to drag any given road. Roads which dry out quickly must be dragged Im-mediately after a rain, while others may be allowed to dry for several davs before being dragged. Dragging a dry road simply makes it dusty. Dragging should be done, If possible, after every rain, and as soon there-- after as conditions are right HIMIWl SUDDENLY KILLED ." Friday forenoon the body of a man. killed at Soldier Summit w,as brought to Provo and is at the morgue of Gra--h m & Jones awaiting identification, liie man who appears to be about ip years of age, was walking along one of the tracks of the D. & R. O, and stepped onto another track on which a Eingle engine was coming It is supposed the man did not notice the engine. We was thrown from the truck by the engine and received in- -. ties from which he died instantly. On his. person was found an employ-ment card from the Jones Employ-ment agency, of Ogden, dated May 7, which gives the name of "ID. Dilion", as near as can be deciphered, and states that he was employed as a laborer for Soldier Summit. On the inside of the cover of a note book the name of Pete Dilion or it may bo Dition or Kilion or iSition is written.

MOSHER, Formeily Dean of Women at tbe Uniwnty of Michigan ' " ' r-- -"7 I agree with Dr. Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard university that women are biologically more savage than men and have more endurance and should make as good soldiers as armed men. What Doctor Sargent says is perfectly true, and no one else in the country is more fit than ha to pass on the question of woman's physical fitness. : For 35 years he has watched them go through strenuous exercises in the college gym-nasia, and has noted their growth. And what is true of the college woman has always been true of all other women." Women taking care of large families washing, cooking, sewing and toiling continuously have gained in endurance. The women who have had to go out into business, as stenographers and office girls, have not weakened in stuffy offices. By an actual investigation I found they had reached a remarkable degree of endurance. They have acquired physical efficiency. , It is not yet known how the women of the Scottish women s hospi-tals, without the help of a single man, have carried men, driven autos, and performed every duty connected with a field hospital, thus proving to the world their ability to do anything man can do. And they have done it for two years. , When young women are not strong it is because they have a physical defect, or have not bad proper training. ' And yet, in spite of that lack of training, they' can undergo pain, hardship and the most exhausting Jubor. It is the lazy woman who is not strong. Give her work, and plenty of it, and watch her improve, as Doctor Sargent has watched her. She ill outwear a man every time. '' I : '. LUNCH BOX SUGGESTIONS MOTHERS, Help Win the War, ask v.

America Compelled to Take Up the Arms Forced Into Her Hands By CARDINAL FARLEY ' Our country is at war. The fatefid hour has, struck, fraught with momentous events. Solemn is the thought of it, and Viough reachless still the import of it, yet inexorable are its demands. Long and anxiously had we hoped that our land would not be drawn into the seething vortex which has engulfed so many of the nations of the world. Ixmg and anxiously had we hoped that the lurid flames of war would not cast their baneful shadows upon our shores. Our government withheld no effort to avert the peril, while our president employed the whole ascendancy of his great intellect cui? bia high position for the prevalence of the ideals of a true, genuine ' Americanism. - But what was so ardently and so whole-hearted- ly desired was not to be. Our country had to take up the arms that were forced into her hands, had no choice but to grasp and wield the weapon wherewith to defend her honor, to vindicate the right and the justice of her cause, and to insure a triumph that will be the victory of civilization and humanity. In the solemn hour, then, when her .fortunes are at stake, when all that she has stood for., and stands for, is jeopardized by the hazard of impending warfare, will not her sons hearken to her call, will they not buckle on the armor of the conflict and, rushing to her rescue, lift high her glorious banner of liberty and justice? Our president having spoken, and our national representatives having spoken, the response to the voice of the authority they embody will be that we will rally around our flag with the completeet fullness of devotion, and with loyalest hearts and sturdiest arms place all that we have and all that we are, at our country's I We will not shrink, then, from any sacrifice in her behalf. We will do, in a word, what our fathers have done in this loved republic of ours from the time it was set up among the nations, and at every time that; hostile hand was lifted against her in the sweep of her beneficent, career among the peoples of the world. Our path of duty lies clear Ia us. May the blessing of Almighty God enable us to. walk m it and unwaveringly to the end. CONTAGIOUS ABORTION AMONG ANIMALS CAUSING BIG LOSSES . ; . Utah Experiment Station Issues pi". cular on lt Prevention, Control anrf Treatment. Valuable information for live stock men is contained in Utah Agricultural ICxperiment iStatlon Circular No. 28, '"Contagious Abortion in Mares and Cows". Dr. ;H. J. Frederick, Utah ex-periment station veterinarian, and pro-fessor of veterinary science at Utah agricultural, college Is author. The Etate board of horse commissionfrs co-operated in the publication of the cir-cular. Dr. Frederick has made a very care-ful study of contagious abortion in Utah as well as a thorough study of all known method, of prevention, control, land treatment. In this little booklet, which is well illustrated, he has pres-ented just the things the practical ; stockman wants to know about the dteease. Contagious abortion, accord-ing to the author, has been known in Utah since 1896. Since that time It ' !has spread very rapidly and is with- - out doubt now prevalent in every local-ity In the state, constituting one of the greatest iosfps to the live stock indus-try of Utah. Great as this loss Is, most people take it as a natural condition among animals which cannot be con-trolled end as a result it has been un- -, resisted in its spread. Every owner of live slock should be interested in tlis circular, a free copy cf which may be obtained from ihe ex- - ' , reriment station, Logan, Utah. ' SURFACING THE FARM ROADS Material Ordinarily Used In Buildinfl Road Are Too Expensive Few Good Suggestion. Many of the "nuUerlals ordinarily employed In road construction will be found too expensive for use In improv-ing the farm roads. One or more of the following will, however, usually be found availubte "and within the means of the farmer for surfacing nla roads and paths: gravel, mixtures of sand and clay, cinders, brickbats from old buildings, brickyard waste and quarry waste. The material selected should, however, be. hard enough to wlthstnnd crushing under heavy loads and possess sufficient binding power to compact well and mnlntain a firm, hard surface under all ordinary er conditions. Government Regulation Solution of the Labor Problem During War I By ANGUS McSWEEN Government action, including the formation of a definite labor policy - to be adhered to for the period of the war is necessary to solve the labor FbThi8 problem is now the most intricate and troublesome with which the nation is confronted. Labor shortage is hampering preparations in all directions. It is preventing the effective carrying out of the shipbuilding plans of the government, reducing the output of munitions and Blowing down the production of coal and other necessary materials. Labor is fighting for an extension of unionism. So far as this pro-- of skilled and unskilled labor, it has vides only for the better organization the sympathetic support of the government. Capital is demanding not the abolition of the organization but the I (unpen ion of organization rules which restrict production. S F-o- m the standpoint of governmental and public welfare it would and labor should make concessions, m to be necessary that both capital 5 and that until these concessions are made the difficulties under which the 3 -- stioa is now struggling will continue. 1 regulations have been adopted by which highly skilled men will draft. This is expected to aid ta be exempted from the second army - keening the production of neceary industries at a high mark. 2 It will, however, only slightly affect for the better the generally rcc 2 ogni.ed shortage of skilled labor in all industries and t will not con-- 1 tribute eicept in the slightest degree to the solution of the problem of S increasing at once the supply and efficiency of labor. It is in connection with this latter proposition that the fight between -- abor serious obstruction to the betterment of gen- - 1 and capital becomes a 2 tral conditions. So long u capital opposes an extension of the organization of labor, 1 labor is not likely to make any concession respecting the suspension of Ej union rules. t Hence the necessity of forcing both sides to make concessions and S this can ouf be done by th-- government. IMPROVE ROADS AND DRIVES Wher Any Considerable Amount cf Hauling Is Necessary Surface Improvement I Needed. Ronds and drives Immediately around the farmyard and barns which are used very frequently are usually of sufficient Importance to warrant gome surface Improvement. Very light or extremely sandy soils cut up badly In dry weather, while certain heavji and absorbent soils become very sticky and soft during the rainy season. Where any considerable amount of hnullnjt Is necessary, rouds over soils or this character may require to be surfaced. $300,000,000 tost Yearly.
