roads movement throughout this pro-

to the universal use of the Split Log

improvement
of dirt roads.
which comprises at least 75 per cent.
of the roads in Ontario, The Secre-
tary states that this dr.vier can be'
made by any blacksmith at a cost. of
$3 or $4, and that its use will make
a road that has been full of ruts and
holes absolutely smooth anis practical-
ly free from dust. 1VIenrbers through-
out the Province are zeeomanended
to purchase the Drag and have thrxrr
used in their sections. Information.
