of the King road drag. By no other
system can mud roads without mud-
boles lie made. The twenty-four hours
of rainfall just past lias of course made
the mud roads muddy, hut on my way
from Mexico 1 saw from the car win
dow mile after mile of earth road on
which in spite of the rain not a mud
hole could he found. Near Martins-
burg and Wellsville. on each side of
New Florence and Wentzville and at
other points along the line are stretches

of the use of the road drag."
Mr. King went to Troy at the invlta
lion of Countv Engineer T A. Hal

way commission. He said that Mi»
aouri had made greater progress in
■Diving tlie problem of iietter roads
