How tho Invontor of tho King Drag
Disoovorod Hit Mothod.
D. Ward King of Maitland. Mo., In
ventor of the King method of road
dragging, has a theory which practice
has demonstrated to be correct It Is
that all clay and gumbo roada abould
be dragged with a iigbt drag after each
rain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up tbe road
It leaves a roadbed as smooth and per
fect as a city street.
The discovery of this method and tbs
more Important discovery of Mr. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on a small but well Improved
farm near Maitland. He was not par
ticularly Interested in tbe good road
movement as a national or state issue,
but the four miles of road from his
farm to Maitland were of great Interest
to him. says tbe St. Louis Globe-l*emo-
craL The road was of that soft, sticky
red clay that in wet weather clings to
the wagon wheels iu great lumps and
ijry weather Is as hard as a rock and
almost as injurious to wagori tires.
1‘assing wagons In wet weather would
dig deep ruts, and when the road dried
up the nits would remain. At best the
road was very poor. Many times when
wheat was selling at a good price and
Mr. King had many bushels of it the
road would t*e so bad that he could
not haul it to the market, and when
the road finally became passable the
market would Ite low again.
After many experiment! he con
structed a small, light drag, using two
old timtters connected with light strips,
and tiegan to drag the road iu front of
his residence. After each rain he
would ntn the drug over It, and w hen
the sun came out and the road dried
up it was in perfect condition. When
he began to drag the road many of his
neighbors told other neighbors that
King was crazy. Others told King
himself that he was crazy. Others
who did not say anything l>elleved he
was crazy. Itut the experiments proved
that King's method was successful,
and he extended his nitrations until
he was dragging all the road iu front
of his farm. His neighbors took it up,
and In a few months the road from his
farm to Maitland was as good as any
in Missouri.
Georgo B. Ellis, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, heard of Mr.
King's good roads methods and invited
him to s[>eak at the farmers’ Institute
in his neighborhood. He accepted, and,
being an enthusiast on the subject, he
made several converts. He was en
gaged for a series of lectures and has
turned over his farm to others and Is
devoting all of his time to preaching
the gospel of good roads. Good roads
meetings have been held In various
parts of Missouri and hundreds of con
verts have !>een made. After every
rain iu Missouri hundreds of farmers
drag the roads In front of their farms,
and the number of these volunteer
road workers is Increasing every week.

How Can You Consistently Preach
Patronage of Homo Industrie* Whan
You Buy Your Printing From Other
Places?—Hint* to tho Wise.
Some hot sparks are struck right off
the anvil by the Morning P be nix of
Muskogee, Okla.. for the benefit of tho
home trade movement The Phoenix,
which know* tbe value of a gi**! news
paper to a town. Is a weary of seeing
local concerns send to other and larger
cities for Job printing work when Mus
kogee's two biggest industries are
printing offices. Nearly every town in
the country ha* more or le** reason to
complain of a similar tendency upon
the part of some of those who expect
the local pa|>ers to boom the burg from
year to year and then buy their print
ing from some establishment else
where. What the Phoenix bay*, or
most of it nt any rate, is applicable to
almost any town In America. Tho
Phoenix head* its editorial remarks
‘Town Loyalty:"
“In its battle for the town or city in
which it is published every newspaper
worthy of the name makes a hobby of
insisting that home industries tie pat
ronized, and issue after Issue labors for
an additional tin bucket brigade ami
gives more of Its space to the public
than It sells to Its advertisers. In sea
son and out it works for new indus
tries and gives aid and comfort iu
every way [Missible to those establish
ments that have the weekly pay roll to
meet, and its slogan of ‘Patronize
Home Industries’ 1» never silent
"True of publisher* In other place*,
this Is also true of those operating
printing establishments In Muskogee,
and in view of tbe existing conditions
here ths Phoenix desires to make a
few brief statements and then ask sev
eral pertinent questions. Next to the
government and railroad pay rolls, two
of the printing plants of this city an*
the largest establishments In the city.
These establishments are tbe best ad
vertising assets tbe city has or ever
had and bring more people to Musko
gee than all other Influence* combffied.'
These establishments pay large taxes
Into the city treasury and annually are
the cause of more wealth being added
to tbe city than any other industries
operated here. The working forces of
these plants are union men—linotype
operators, printers, stereotypers and
pressmen—and are paid the union scale
and work union hour*. Most of the
employees have their homes here, and
all of them *iiend their weekly wage
In Muskogee. 8o much for the few
statements. Now a question or two.
"Why do the city officials, the Judi
cial officials and the officials of the Ul
terior department, all citizens of Mus
kogee. buy from traveling men repre
senting Kansu* City. 8t Loui*. Gal
veston and Dallas houses printers’ sup
plies that could be purchased of tho
local printing establishments?
“Why do the bank* of Muskogee
send away from home for their sta
tionery. all of which could be? supplied
by or through tbe local firms at tho
same price they now pay?
"Why will elective county and city
official* pat tbe local labor unions on
the back and then send their orders
for office supplies to a Dallas firm
working only women and children and
nonunion men?
"Why will tbe men who most of ail
depend upon local support for business,
tbe bankers, tbe lawyers and the elec
tive official*, persist in Ignoring tbs Io
cs! establishments and buying tbeir
supplies out of town snd continue to
bowl about patronising borne Indus
tries?
“How many local official* are elected
by out of t&wn votes?
"How long would the seven or eight
banks of Muskogee continue in busi
ness If that business- was confined to
tbeir out of town customers?
"How much taxes are paid in Mus
kogee by tbs Dorsey Printing compa
ny of Dallas, or Georgs D. Barnard of
8t Louis, or Clark A Courts of Galvss-
ton?
"What have tbeg ever dons for thlw
city that entitles toem to a Use of booi-
ness such as would odd twenty or tM|p>
