Split-Log Drag Day Suggested by the Tri-State Good Roads Association $33,MMN MORE IN MONEY IS THE WASHINGTON NEWS WASHINGTON, July 2. Treasury figures completed tonight showed that the federal government went through ita first fiscal year under the "Wilton administration with 1U in come exceeding ordinary expenses by $33,784,452.07. Nearly thirty-three and a half million dollars, pouring In to tho treasury, yesterday, the last day brought the tetal receipts for the year up to $734,343,700.20, a million and a half above Secretary MeAdoo'a original estimate and turned Into surplus what had promised the day before to be a substantial deficit. Corporation aBd Income tax pay ments furnished the stream of gold at the finish. From this source came $2G,1G1,782.S2 between the opening and closing of the treasury yesterday, and tonight Secretary McAdoo and other administration officials were pointing proudly to the. total figures aa proof of their promises aa to what would, be accomplished under the new tariff. The treasury surplus this year at least will be wiped out by Panama canal expenditures, which have to be paid from the general fund. During tho twelve months $34,826,841 haa been tpent on the canal and when this has been charged off thore will be a deficit for the year of $1,010,058.81 on the books. Last year the canal expenditure amounted to $41,741,258 and tho final deficit was $400,733. Last year's total receipts were only $691,140,000 but on the other hand tho ordinary expenditures were only $654,805,000, or $45,754,248 below this year's total.

Tho perspective Illustration of thU slmplo Implement shows plainly tho good points of a road drag, Its cheap ness of construction and method of use. Extracts from Farmer Bulletin No. 321 O. S. Dept. of Agricultures "There aro at present In thin country about two million miles of earth roads, most of which must bo maintained by somo means more or less Inexpensive. Tho split-log drag Is of great service on roads of our rural highways and enn be kept In repair economically and In good con dition by tho use of this simple Im plement. Construction of Split-Log Drag The author by experiment with many varlties of devices for road dragging has found that the two-slab log drag with liberal 'st-back' Is the most satisfactory. Tho drag should be light that one man can easily lift it, besides a light drag responds more readily to various methods of hitching and to the shift ing of the position and weight of tho Kor ordinary purposes tho snatch link or clevis should bo fastened far enough toward tho blade end of tho chain to force tho unloaded drag to follow the team at an nnglo of 45 de grees. This will cnuso tho earth to movo along tho faco of tho drag smoothly and will gtvo comparatively light draft to the team, provided the driver rides lit the lino of draft. Tho distance from tho drag at which tho team U hitched affects Uto depth of tho cutting. Shortening the chain tends to lift tho front slab from tho ground; n longer hitch causes tho blade to cut more deeply. Tho length of hitch may be regulnted by lengthening ami shortening1 tho chain at tho end which runs through the hole In tho blado end of tho drag. I'usually two horos aro enough to pull a drag over an ordlnnry earth road. Tho object of tho drag Is to movo earth toward tho center of tho road way and to raise It gradually abovo tho surrounding level. Whllo this Is being accomplished, all mudholcs and ruts will be filled, In which traf fic will pack tho fresh earth. Tho drag does tho best work when the soil Is moist, but not sticky. I'se of a lrag on Itocky or Gravelly Itoaris In soils full of looso stones or oven small bowlders tho drag docs good service. The loose stones aro drawn Into a windrow down the center of the road whllo tho earth Is deposltel around tho bowlders In such a way that tho surface Is leveled. The approximate cost of a split log drag, labor and material Is about Figure Showing Construction of Split Log Drag. ASSASSIN GLORIES IN DEATH ARCHDUKE AND HIS WIFE SAItAYEVO, July 2. Martial law has been proclaimed at Tuscla and Maglaz because of the serious rioting In these towns, where much Servian properly has been destroyed. The preliminary examination by a magistrate today into the assassina tion of the archduko and bis wife showed that it had been tho intention of Prlnzlp to accomplish his purpose at the time of tho maneuvers at Tar Klnl, but the attempt was abandoned owing to the strict military guard, which prevented outsiders from ap proaching tho archduke. During tho preliminary examina tion Prlnzlp gloried in his guilt. Ho described tho killing of the couple nnd declared it had been his Intention for a lone time to kill a prominent Austrian. Ho had reach much anar chistic literature and had becomo con vinced that Micro could be nothing on earth finer than to be an assassin. "1 do not regret tho deed," he said. "I had nothing to do with the bomb attack. When I heard the explosion I oxclalmcd; 'There are still peoplo who feel and think as I do.' This strengthened my revolve still fur ther." 'No ovldonco has yet been found against any or tho other ponons ar retted, with the exception of the (lasablnvlcs. They were taken Into custody because of their personal ac quaintance with (he assassins.

Tho log should bo seven or eight feet long and from 10 to 12 Inches in diameter, carcfullr split down the middle, the heaviest slab to bo se lected for tho front. At a point on this front slab four Inches from tho end that is to bo at the middle of tho road locate tho cen ter of the hole to receive a cross stake and 22 Inches from tho other end of the front slab locate tho cen ter for another cross take. Tho hole for the middle stake will lie on a line connecting and halfway between the other two. Tho back slab should sow be placed in position behind the other. From tho end which Is to bo at tbo middle of the road measure 20 inches for the center of tho cross stake, and six Inches from the other end locate tho center of tho outside stake. Find the center of the mlddlo hole as before. When these boles aro brought opposite each other, one end of tho back slab will be 16 Inchot nearer tho center of the roadway than tbo front one, giving what is known as 'set back.' Tho holes should be two Inches In diameter. The hole to rccelvo tho forward end of tho chain should be bored at the same time. The two slabs should be held 30 Inches apart by the stakes. The stakes should taper gradually toward the ends There should bo no should er at the point where tho stakes enter the slab. The stakes should be fas tened In places by wedges only. When the stakes havo been placed In position and tightly wedged, a brace two inches thick and four Inches wide should be placed diagon ally to them at tho ditch end A strip of Iron about 3 'A feet long, three or four Inches wide and one-fourth of an inch thick may bo used for tho blude, and a platform of Inch boards held together by three cleats can be placed on the stakes between the slabs. An ordinary trace chain is strong enough to draw the Implement, pro vided the clevis is not fastened through a link. The chain should be wrapped around the rear stake, then passed over tho front slab. liaising tho chain at thin end of the slab al lows tho earth to drift past tho face of tho drag. The other end of the chain should bo passed through tho liolo In tho end of tho slab and U held by a pin passed through a link. One and one-half trace chains are sufficient.

The advantages to bo gained from tho persistent use of a road drag may be summarized as follews: 1. Tho maintenance of a smooth, serviceable earth road frca from ruts and mudholcs. 2. Obtaining such a road surface with the expenditure of ery little money and labor In comparison with the money and labor required for other methods. 3. The reduction of mud In wet weather, and of dust In dry weather."
