KING TALKS ON "GOOD ROADS"
INVENTOR OF SPLIT LOO DRAG
ADDRESSED LARGE AtJDIENCE
AT HIGH SCHOOL
R. B. Millard of this city, one of
Morrison county's good roads boosters,
presided over the meeting anl intro­
duced Mr. King. He also introduced A.
J. McGuire, dairy expert with the ex­
tension division of the state university,
who made a few brief remarks and an­
nouncements in regard to the extension
work which he is doing among the
farmers' clubs in this county this week.
Mr. King opened his talk by telling
of the location of his farm in the ex­
treme northwestern corner of Missouri.
This farm, he said, has a front gate.
From the front gate of this farm for a
distance of one-half mile toward his
neighbor's farm, leading toward town,
is the best piece of road that the state
-of Missouri has seen in 19 years. No
work has ever been done on that road
with anything except a split log drag.
The eo?t of maintenance during the
nineteen years has not been one cent,
he said. If it cost nothing to maintain
•that road, r.nd it is the best road, then
it has been proved that there is no need
of expending money for good roads.
'Before saying anything more, Mr. King
asked the audience to excuse him for
using the "perpendicular pronoun" so
often in the course of his talk, (mean­
ing- himself and his work on roads.)
His history, &s told in. his talk, was
in! substance as follows': He was born
in Springfield, Ohio. After he grew
to manhood he purchased a farm
Missouri and went out there to operate
it, although he knew nothing of farm­
ing. He could not tell the difference
between wheat and oats, *or could he
load hay or pitch bundles. He realized
!jis ignorance and immediately began
to- consult the progressive farmers in
the vicinity and in this way learned
that no two farmers did work the same
way. Each one had a slightly different
way of doing things.
The roads in Missouri were in a terri­
ble condition those davs. A man could
walk into town much faster than a.
team of horses drawing a wagon
•could travel the same distance: provid­
ed the horses would stay in the road.
Mr. King,
having

Dean "Ward King of Missouri, that In the Stillwater news of the Minne
man of the slit log drag fame, in a apolis Tribune of yesterday is an item
talk to an audience of nearly four hun-1 to the effect that Mrs. Mathilda Goll
Ired people at the local high school au-. nik, who was sent to the state pelnten
ditorium Wednesday afternoon, made
an impression which should establish a
new era in the history of road improve­
ment in Morrison county. Before the
close of his talk he had secured the
promise of a large number of the peo­
ple present to build split log drags and
to use them to improve the roads in
the county.
the education of his
children at heart, wishea io have them
-attend school, but decided that if they
were to go to school, the. roads had to
be inwoved so that they coHd travel
•over them. He then started the agita­
tion for better roads. And this brought
about the invention uf the split log
road drag.
did not start out to in­
vent it with the thought that it would
one day prove the greatest road main­
tainor made, for he did not realize its
great value until several years later.
One day. while working with a drag
much similar
to the
Tvresent
rirag, but then used omy to break the
corn stalks in the corn field before
plowing it, he chanced to pay special
the holes, He continued dragging the
road until he found out that by means
of the drag he had also made the road­
way higher in the center. He was so
well satisfied with his work that he
patted himself and said that that half
mile of road was the best within a ra­
dius of 500 miles. When he started
work on the road it was a so-called one
ditch road, the ditch being in the mid-
ldle,
but now he had a road that was
Smooth and high in the center. After
?"m. time he found out that his part of
"the road dried up mucih sooner than
others, following heavy rains. He
then and there adopted the slogan or
proverb: "It is not the water that
falls on the road that hurts it, it is the
'water that stands on it."
D. Ward King then built a spit log
and split log drag" to his neighbors.
They only laughed at him and told .him
that he was foolish for doing the work
without pay. Five or six years passed
which were used on the roads surround
Ing his farm lands.
The speaker told of two tests to his
pieee of road which proved its dura-
Mr. King dragged the road and made a
racetrack of it. It was fit for the most
fragile vehicles and for the fastest
horses. The second was a test by as
editor. He took a pick and swung it
full forfe and let the point sink into
the eenter of the road. The road was
sp -hard that the pick' it but
stick, walked out fifteen feet from the
roadway and with his hands sunk that
stick into the ground for a diatanee of

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES"""
(By Sydney S. D. Kaye)
Basketball
The high school basketball quint met
a very unpleasant surprise Saturday,
t)ec. 12, when they played at Royalton.
Royalton led the boys into some very
lively playing the first half and a lit­
tle less so in the second half. When the
timekeeper blew his whistle the score
stood 22 and 22. Richard Meyers suc­
ceeded in making a basket and the final
eount stood 24 for Little Falls and 22
for Royalton.
The boys were handicapped to a
great extent as they have been in the
habit of using a considerable amount
6f team work in practice. This was al­
most impossible at Royalton because of
the very small playing floor.
No return game has been scheduled
to be played with Royalton at present,
but it is hoped that in the near future
we will have one.

Elk River high school plays in the
Little Falls gymnasium Saturday, Dec.
10. Elk River has a very good team
this year and a good game is looked
for. Ovid Belanger will be on the
squad again this time. Everybody
plan on coming to see the last game
before the Christmas vacation.
Miscellaneous
The high school and grades of this
city are rejoicing over the fact that
Friday is the last day of school for two
weeks. School will open again Mon­
day, January 4, 1915.
Miss Lindie Norman, who has "been
substituting at Burtrum for some time,
returned to school Monday.
The short course students visited the
Kenkel farm the first part of the week.
The object was to investigate the model
hog house at the Kenkel farm and to
draw plans ior the same. They went
out to the Nelson farm Wednesday af­
ternoon to look at a barn which is be­
ing built at that place.
A. J. McGuire, who spoke at the high
school Wednesday, spoke to the Rice
Lake Farmers' club Wednesday eve­
ning. About eighty members were
present. He spoke to the Meadowview
Farmers' club Tuesday evening and
at Freedhem Thursday evening. Mr.
McGuire is doing considerable exten­
sion work throughout the state.
A. J. McGuire, who is at the head
of the experimental station at Grand
Rapids, talked to the high school stu­
dents Wednesday morning. He told
them how it was possible with a little
pluck and backbone to gain an educa­
tion. He emphasized that physical
training was essential in a person's
"as mental
training. He also stated that mental
training plus physical training amount­
ed to but very little unless a person
was reliable.
The domestic science girls will hold
a sale on candy Friday morning. This
candy is made in the domestic science
rooms and the proceeds go -to that de­
partment. Last year a sale similar to
this one was held.
The English classes are at present de*
voting at least one day of eaeh week
to the study of the Literary Digest.
The board of education has subscribed
for 25 of these magazines to be used
for that purpose.
Miss Clark had the misfortune to
sprain her wrist Tuesday morning.
It is the plan of the principal M. W.
Zipoy, to have Victrola programs once
a week. Mr. Zipoy has chosen a com­
mittee to look after the music for the
year. The program used Tuesday morn
of was furnished by
Mine Caroline Mielke, who recently
enrolled in the high Rchool. The com­
mittee would be pleased to find out
where they can secure these records.
Very good care will be taken of them
and the safe return of all is guaran­
teed. If anyone who has a Victrola or
Victor machine of any kind would be
so kind as to inform the committee and
to let them use a few records it would
be appreciated very much. Please noti

TEAM IN THE NORTHERN
TOWN
Gym Team is the name selected for
an independent basketball quint which
will be organized here- tomorrow for a
series of games during the1 holiday
season. On Monday the team goes to
Bemidji for two games, on Monday and
Tuesday evenings. They may play
Akeley on Wednesday evening.
Bemidji has one of the fastest bas­
ketball teams of the state and is after
high honors. They have played several
games already this season and won by
overwhelming scores. But this does
not scare the local team. They are con­
fident of winning. Each of the play­
ers is a star, Swanson and Brannen
having received training at the Minne­
sota and Wisconsin universities re­
spectively, and Longley, Diedrieh, Pynn
and Ritter being in the game at the
state university this year. Pynn is
captain of the Gopher basketball team
and is a player of unusual ability
Ross Dunphy will manage the affairs of
the team.
Several games will be played at the
local gymnasium, but not until after
Christmas. Company of the Red
Wing National Guards, is scheduled for
a game here on the evening of Decem­
ber 29 and games may also be arranged
for with the St. Cloud Catholic team
and other fast aggregations.
In the Bemidji games Swanson and
Longlfliy will be forwards, Pynn and

THE CITY CAN GET TWO EIK
OFFER MADE BY SEATTLE B. P.
E.—CRATING AND SHIPPING
ONLY COST
O.
The Exalted Ruler of B. P. O. Elks
Lodge No. 770 is in reaeipt ot a tele­
gram from the Exalted Ruler of the
Seattle Elks lodge, asking if the city
of Little Falls could use two elk at. this
time by paying the crating and ship­
ping expenses on the same. He asked
an immediate answer and the exalted
ruler of the local lodge wired him for
information as to the weight and age
of the animals, so as to ascertain the
cost of getting them here. The answer
was that the animals weighed about
500 pounds each. This would indicate
that they are not young elk.
As local people will remember it was
thought that two elk could be secured
the Yellowstone National Park
March and a subscription list was
i- .dated and over $69 secured. It
iied ont that tlie city eould nofr get
elk from the park and the Seattle
-jdge, was written in regard to getting
two animals from them. The local
loclwe received no answer to the in­
quiry at that time as they evidently
did not wish to dispose of any elk. The
money subscribed therefore was not
used and could now be applied on the
cost of getting the elk from Seattle.
The total cost of getting the animals
may be $100 to $125, depending upon
their weight. The subscription list may
be circulated once more and the local
Elks lodge has promised to contribute
a goodly share of the money in order to
get the animals.
Seemingly the only thing which
would prevent getting the elk at this
time is the temperature. At Seattle
the weather is now mild whereas the
temperature has been rather low here
during the past week or so, and it is
feared that the animals coud not with­
stand the great change. However, the
matter will be definitely settled soon,
and if the elk cannot be brought here
now, arrangements will be made where­
by they will be held in west until next
spring. The matter was taken up at a
special meeting of the Elks lodge last
night, but it was after press time and
no particulars could be obtained.
MASOG TO OPEN CLOTHING STORE
Little Falls is to have another cloth­
ing store in the near future. The store
will be located in the building formerly
occupied by the Julius Jetka hardware
store and will be owned and managed
by Jos. Masog of this city.
The building, which has been pur­
chased by Mr. Masog, is being remodel­
ed and redocor&ted and new shelving
and fixtures will be installed. Mr.
Masog expects to have the place open
for business before the spring season
opens. He will carry a full line of
clothing, men's furnishings and shoes.
Mr. Masog was formerly connected
with the Victor Clothing company here,
but for the past two years has been
manager of the shoe department at the
Hub.
GYM OPENED WEDNESDAY
The local gymnasium opened for the
winter season Wednesday, with a fair
sized enrollment. The gym will remain
open-Jfor three and one-half months,
closing on March 31.
Ross Dunphy has charge of the work.
There will be three evening elasses,
each of which will be given two nights
a week at the gym. An afternoon class
lias been organized for the junior mem­
bers, and a girls' class may be organiz­
ed later if enough members can be se­
cured.
The membership fees are the same
as last year, $1 per month for senior
members and 50c per month for juniors.
Dr. N. W. Chanee is confined to his
home with illness this week.
