NEARLY ENTIRE GREW PERISH Other Vessels Near At Hand But Orders to Look Out for' Own Safety Prevented Further Loss. London.—One more British battle ship has paid toll to the Germans for the patrol of the English channel and North sea coast. Struck by a torpedo from a sub marine operating with Zeebrugge as its base, the Formidable, of 15,000 tons, went to the bottom of the chan nel New Year's Day, taking with her 600 of her crew. It is believed the battleship was acting as flagship of the squadron that for weeks had been co-operating with the allied land forces against the Germans on the Belgian coast. Submarines frequently have made unsuccessful sorties against this squadron. As a flagship the comple ment of the Formidable was 810 of ficers and men. Eighty survivors were picked up by a British light cruiser. Of the rescued eight are of ficers and six midshipmen. For days a gale, decreasing gradu ally in violence, had been whipping the waters of the channel and the North sea into foam. Without the slightest warning the 800 men aboard the battleship felt their great craft thrown from the water, and then came a tremendous explosion that seemed to tear the steel structure apart as though it were a ship of cardboard. i The fact that the vessel disappear ed almost immediately led the sur vivors to conclude that the explosion of a mine or torpedo detonated one of the ship’s magazines. The esti mates of the time she floated after receiving tyer death wound vary from five to twenty minutes, but the short er space/ is regarded as the more probable 4 since the casualty list con cievable tnight be smaller had she remained above the surface for any appreciable time. The Formidable, while an old war ship, having been launched in 1898 and completed in 190X, nevertheless had already rendered useful service in fighting. Off-coast losses to the British navy have been expected daily owing to the fact that the Brit ish war vessels deliberately were taking risks to aid the land cam paign. The admiralty statement indicates that other vessels of the squadron were nea^ the Formidable when she sank and it is the firm belief that only the orders for each vessel to look out for its own safety prevented further loss. Constantinople Fears Attack. Athens.—According to Constanti nople advices which have reached here the Austrian and German em bassies in the Turkish capital are transferring their archives to Asia Minor, fearing that action is immi nent by the British and French fleets against Dardanelles and the capital. Foreigners, it is stated, are also pre paring to quit the capital for the in terior. Boy Killed Coasting. Salt Lake City, Utah—One boy was killed, two probably fatally injured and three others seriously injured when a bobsled on which they were coasting crashed into a street car. The sled, which was travelling at a terrific speed down a steep incline, got beyond control and at the foot of the hill hit the car as the latter came to a stop on a curve. The motorman saw the sled coming and stopped his car, hoping thereby to avoid confus ing the coasters. Before he had op portunity to back his car from the corner the sled hit the front truck and the boys were thrown against the car and to the pavement. Kansas Will Join in Rate Fight. Topeka, Kan.—Kansas will join Ne braska, Oklahoma. Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas in opposing the in creased freight rates on grain order ed by the western railroads and sus pended by >.ie interstate commerce commission until Marcli 31, it has been announced by the Kansas board of public utilities.

ROAD * BUILDING EFFECTIVE WORK ON ROADS Pulling a Drag Through Mud When Soil Is Sticky Is Waste of Time— Farmers Work Together. We have a road drag club of 33 members that has been in existence for nearly two years. About a third Df the members own drags and these ire in use nearly all the time. It is jijderBtood that any member has a perfect right to hitch to anybody’s Irag that is not in use. We have learned a good many things about road dragging since we started, writes W. D, Dennis of Mis souri in Farm Progress. Dragging a road is not quite as simple as it looks and there are some kinds of dragging that are not worth doing. For in stance we have found that pulling a drag through the mud when the soil is sticky enough to cling to the drag is i waste of time. Nor do we ever drag a road that is bone dry. All the good that does is to heap the dust in the center of the highway. Of course, we have no one in the club who has authority to send a man home if he wants to drag a road in dry and dusty weather, but it is understood that such road work is foolish and no one does it. Drive the team at a walk, always, Is another of our unwritten rules. You don't want the drag bounding and hopping along, leaving ihe road sur Harrisburg Road, Near Houston, Texas face dragged in places and skipped in others. Slow and steady does the best work. We have no heavy drags. A few months’ experience showed us they w-ere not what we wanted. WTe use light drags, pulled over the road at about the regulation angle of 45 de grees. This pulls a small amount of earth over to the center of the high way and firms the whole wheel path. We have a 60-foot highway. Natur ally we do not try to drag all of that surface. What we try to maintain is a roadway of about twenty feet in width. We begin in the center and try to first get a good wheel track width in fair shape. As soon as this is done the drags are lapped a little farther over into the undragged roadway at the sides. We drag the roads as soon as pos sible after every rain. The best work is done after a rain and just before the road surface begins to harden as it dries. One side of the wheel path is taken going in one direction, and the other side is smoothed up on the re turn trip. Half a dozen drags on a road after a spring rain will work wonders. Keep this up a few weeks and you are able to build the center of the road up to a height of from ten to twelve inches above the level of the edges. This gives a good drain age and makes the future dragging easier and much more effective. Road dragging is something that must be kept up continually. Eternal dragging is the price we have to pay for dirt roads that are above the av erage. If we paid for the work put on them it would probably cost us all of $10 and maybe $12 a mile for the year. Some years the roads will re quire much more work than in others because of the w-eather conditions. The amount of traffic anil the nature of the soil on which the road is built are other factors that affect the amount of dragging necessary. There are some spots in every road that should be graded and filled be fore you can expect to do very much ' with the drag. A drag will not help these bad spots much. Get them fixed up once, though, and you won’t have much trouble in keeping them in shape with the drag. Reduce All Grades. Reduce all grades to at least five per cent If possible. In some states roads are laid out on section lines and hills must be gone over, but where possible avoid steep grades, as these are a con stant cost for maintenance and danger ous to travel. Work Systematically. The way to build a good road is to work at it systematically and con tinuously. You can't do a little now and then and have it come out the way you want it in the long run. Ask Aid of Commissioners. If there Is a highway commission in your state have them help you im prove your roads. They can offer sug gestions that will be a lasting benefit if observed. Cement for Culverts. Nothing is better for culverts and small bridges than cement. Re-enforce all over a two-foot span. Make Permanent Improvements. It never pays to patch a poor road or a poor bridge or culvert. It is impossible io be strong and robust if handicapped by a weak stomach or lazy liver; but you can help Nature conquer them with the assistance of HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS »....
