Halkides, 925 E street northwest, be

have an invention that will abso

Halkides says h is in Washington
to nerfect his drawings and model
in order that he may obtain a pat
ent which he proposes to offer first
to the United States government.
He figures that the ability to do
away with the weather bureau and
its attendant expense will save the
government such an immense sum
that the government can afford to
make him rich beyond thp dreams of
avarice, and still make money.

plans and specifications thoroughly, form, of
a little delay in his demonstration, in
order that they may dispose of their
stock. The stores handling fur coats
for women will also be on the anx
ious seat.
Means Glee for let Man
Coal dealers are expected to oppose
the government's granting a patent
on any such invention for without
the cold months of winter their busi
ness would be practically ruined. Ice
men, on the contrary, are expected
to back the inventor to a man, as
ever-summer weather would increase
the ice business by more than 100
per cent.
All Washington will be on the qui
vive for the expected demonstration.
It is stated authoritatively, however,
that the invention has never been
demonstrated as yet, and that the
present warm weather, which has
prevailed during the winter months
s) fai, is still due to the same natur
al causes that have always controlled
veather in the United States. Wash

I.EE-JACKSON DAY OBSERV
ED AT RED SPRINGS
Counties Need All the Money They
Can Raise to Maintain the Secon
dary Roads.
(North Carolina Good Roads As
sociation.) Chapel Hill, Jan. 22. Up to the
present time- the counties have been
compelled to spend the major portion
of their road funds cn the main high
ways connecting the principal cities
and tfivyn- which are used largely for
commercial purposes.' Even with
their maximum expenditure of funds
and energy on these main roads, they
are kept in very poor condition. The
great majority of our farming class
do not receive any direct benefit from
these main roads, although they are
helping to pay for their construction
and upkeep. The average farmer is
very vitally interested in the county
or secondary roads, which are per
force neglected by the county because
it has not funds for both the main
highways and the secondary roads. If
the ccunty roads were improved the J
t ..i j u .u i.:u 1
lnriuiTK iuuiu iocu tne main iiigu-
ways with maximum loads and thus
derive the fullest benefit from both
county and main highways.
By the State's , taking over these
main highways C5.500 miles) for con
struction and maintenance, the coun
ties will 'be relieved of thisburden
and can use their own road funds
for-building -and maintaining the4
county roads leading out into the var
ious farming sections and thus give
the avtiage farmer a chance at a bet
ter transportation system. Xhere are
about 47,000 miles of these county or
secondary roads and the task of keep
ing these in good passable condition
will require all the funds the coun
ties can raise.
The plan offered by Governor Mor
rison in his inaugural address to force
tne counties to pay a portion of the
cost of construction of the main
highways and all the cost of main
tenance, with divided authority as to
expenditure, would result in unbusi
nesslike methods, dissatisfaction, and
an even more cnaotic state ot roaa
building than wehave now. Even if
the plan were feasible it would only
serve to further discriminate against
the farmer for the funds demanded
by the State under this plan for
construction and maintenance would
not only take all funds that might
otherwise be used on county roads
but would be overburdensome to the
rural counties, and any other which
may happen to be heavily in debt."
It l? therefore up to every farmer
in North Carolina to see that the bill
for a State system of highways
which provides for State control,
State financial responsibility, and
State protection, is enacted into law
by the present General Assembly.
