A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made PubGc,
will Help Other Women.
Hines, Ala.—“I must confess”, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done me
a great deal of good.
Before 1 commenced using Cardui, I
would spit up everything 1 ate. 1 had a
Bred, sleepy feeling all the Bme, and was
irregular. I could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con
Bnuously.
Since taking Cardui, I have entirely
quit spitting up what 1 eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and 1 have
gained 10 pounds in weight.”
If you are a victim of any of the numer
ous ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half a century, Cardui has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is com
posed of ingredients which act specifically
on the womanly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organs back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
.won’t regret it Your druggist sells it

Nothing is so tiring to Sena

sawing by oftice-sekers. Second
to that comes the well intended,
but misdirected kindness on the
part of friends who seek to en
tertain him while in their towns.
Delivering two speeches a day,
traveling by packhorse, bus, au
tomobile, freight train, and oc
casionally in the varnished cars,
is enough to wear away the con
stitution of a young man. Sen
ator Clarke is no longer young,
but as a statesman he is at the
zenith- He must conserve his
energies if he continues the
schedule of speechmaking,
though it is hardly necessary
that he do that in order to be
again chosen as Arkansas’ great

States Senate. He had that race
won before he started.
Purposes Of Negro College.
J- W. Leggett, who was recent
ly elected president of the Old
Glory Industrial College School
.which" it is proposed to found in
this city, requests the Independ
ent to publish the purposes of
the new school, which are, as
follows:
1st, We shall educate for
usefulness, at no time playing
;
the bigot.
2nd. We shall strive to reduc?
vagrancy, for we believe that
vagrancy leads to lawlessness,
and lawlessness to crime.
3rd. Being cognizant of the
fact that he who does not add to
the wealth of a state detracts
from its wealth, we shall endea
vor to inculcate lessons of thrift
and urge all to become early
bread winners or producers of
wealth.
4th. As a racial safeguard,
we shall constantly remind the
masses of the great danger
there is in overeducating the
head and neglecting the hand
These principles, together with
what appeared in the issue of
December 22. 1913, constitute
the fundamental principles upon
which Old Glory Industrial Col
lege School shall work.

ROAD WORK
IN IhE SPRING
Says Expert of Agricultural De
partment If Results Are To Be
Secured.
Special to Independent.
Washington, I>. C., Feb. 2.—
It is a great mistake to put oil'
working roads until August or
j September, according to road
j experts of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The roads
[should be worked when the soil
is damp so as to make the soil
bake when it dries out. If the
roads are worked when they are
dry, it take more power to draw
the machine and besides dry
earth and dust retain moisture
and quickly rut after rains- The
use of clods, sods, weeds or veg
etable matter in building earth
roads should be avoided because
they also retain moisture.
If the working of the roads is
deferred until the latter part of
the summer when the surface is
baked dry and hard, they are not
only difficult to work, but the
work is unsatisfactory when
done. Earth which is loose and
drv will remain dusty as long as
the dry weather lasts, and then
turn to mud as the rains begin.
By using the road machine in
the spring while the soil is soft
and damp, the surface is more
easily shaped and soon packs
down into a hard crust which is
less liable to become dusty in
summer and muddy in winter.

made when needed and not once

Because of its simplicity, effi
ciency, and cheapness, the split
log drag or some similar device, j
is destined to come into more
and more general use. With the
drag properly built and its use
well understood, the mainten
ance of earth and gravel roads
become a simple and inexpen
sive matter. Care should be
taken to make the log so light
that one man can lift it with
ease, as a light drag can be
drawn by two medium sized
horses and responds more read
ily to various methods of hitch
ing and the shifting position of
the operator than a heavier one.
The best material for the drag
is a dry cedar log, though elm,
walnut, box elder or soft maple
are excellent- Oak, hickory or
ash are too heavy. The log
should be from seven to ten
feet long, and from eight to ten
inches in diameter. It should be
split carefully as near the cen
ter as possible and the heaviest
and best slab chosen for the
front. When the soil is moist,
but not sticky, the drag does
the best work. As the soil in
the field will bake if plowed wet,
so the road will bake if the drag
is used on it when it is wet. If
the roadway is full of holes or
badly rutted the drag should be
used once when the road is soft
and slushy.
The earth road can best be
crowned and ditched with a
road machine and not with picks
and shovels, scoops, and plows.
One road machine with a suita
ble power and operator will do
the work of many men with
picks and shovels, and in addi
tion will do it better. If the
road is composed of fine clay or
soil it will sometimes pay to re
surface it with top soil from an
adjacent field, which has sand or
gravel mixed with it. This
method, called the “top soil
method,” is not in successful use
in Clarke county, Georgia
Storm water should be disposed
of quickly before it has had
time to penetrate deeply into the
surface of the road. This can
be done by giving the road a
crown or slope from the center to
the sides. For an earth road
which is 24 feet wide the center
should not be less than six inch
---
♦
es nor more than 12 inches high A
er than the outer edge of the \
shoulder. The narrow r0ad *
which is high in the middle will
become rutted almost a quickly
as one which i> toe ii; ', ■;
reason that on a nan w mad
all the traflie is forced :• use
only a narrow strip. Shoulders
are often formed on both -ides
of the road, which prevents the
! storm water from flowing into
I the side ditches, retaining it in
'the ruts and softening the road
j way. These ruts and shoulder;
can be entirely eliminated with
the road machine or split-road
| drag.
| The width of the earth road
will depend on the traflie. As a
rule, 25 or AO feet from ditch to
ditch is sufficient if the road is
properly crowned. Ordinarily
the only ditches needed are those
j made with the road machine,
i which are wide and shallow.
Deep, narrow ditches wash rap
! idly, especially on steep slopes.
1 The earth road should not be
!
loosened, dug up, or plowed any
! more than is absolutely neces
jsary. It should he gradually
raised, not lowered, hardened,
nor softened.
