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

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

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.

operator, both of which are essential
considerations.
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.
How o Use a !rag
Tho successful operation of a drag
Involves two prlnclploH, The first
concerns tho length and position of
the hitch, while I lie second dealt
with the position of tho driver on tho
drag, Kach Influences the other lo
a largo extent, and successful mani
pulation of (be drag Is dujintiduiit

$3; the cost for dragging ono mllo
going over several times, team and
driver, la Just what you will mako it
from $1 up, depending on tho number
of times required to go over tho
rough road.
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."
