Every assult on the patent sys-
tem which aims to deprive in-
ventors of their just rewards for
their research, time and genius,
should be repelled. The forces
that would destroy the patent sys-
tem (the keystone of the Amer-
ican system of free enterprise)
though small, are both loud and
active. They holler to high hea-
ven that their hearts bleed for
the small business man, the smal-
ler manufacturer, whom they
claim is being hurt by our present
patent laws.
But the smaller manufacturers
don’t seem to know that they are
being abused. In fact, so sold are
they on the patent system “as is”
that by the hundreds they have
thrown in their lot with the Na-
tional Patent Council, headed by
John W. Anderson, Gary, In-
diana, himself a smaller manu-
facturer of automotive parts. This
organization has' but one objec-
tive and that is to frustrate a
handful of starry-eyed “planned

economists” from disrupting the
patent system, the impelling in-
centives of which system have
played such an ‘ important part
in making America pre-eminent
among the nations of the world.
How much incentive to invent,
refine, produce and distribute
you think would be left with
“planners” of government dic-
tating uses and compensations?
/One of these “planned econo-
mists” is Secretary of Commerce
Henry Wallace. He is all hot
and bothered about “establishing
a Federal central technical auth-
ority to coordinate increasing
government activities in scientif
ic fields.” In his love (?) for
free enterprise, Henry says,
will be shackled and restrained
if research is dominated by i
small number of large corpora
tions and cartels. Small business
cannot support the large and
costly laboratories necessary for
modern industrial development.”
Readers, you remember Henry,
don’t you? He’s the bright boy
who conjured up the idea of
slaughtering the little pigs and
the equally brilliant scheme of
paying farmers not to grow
things. Perhaps Henry (running
true to form, envisions an ex-
pansion of the patent laws that
will provide pay to inventors for
not inventing.
Henry quite blithely admits that
the Federal government is en-
croaching more and more into the
affairs which heretofore, and pro.
perly belonged exclusively to pri
vate individuals and businesses
He now proposes to step up the
tempo of that encroachment. Tut!
Tut! Henry, that is exactly what
this nation does not want. Ra-
ther, government must be per-
suaded to relinquish many of the
individual functions* and preroga-
tives that it has usurped.

dominated by a small number
corporations and cartels”?
What do you mean by “
search,” Henry? Does the te

Back In Business!
We have purchased the furniture, fixtures and stock of
groceries from Worley and Finch and will resume operation
of the Wallace Grocery as soon as stock can be arranged and
all details completed. We will open the store
Friday, August 2nd
with as complete a line of groceries, market and market pro-
ducts as we can secure. The Wallace Grocery has operated in
Paducah for years and people all over this trade territory
know the principals on which it has been operated. We want
to solicit the patronage of all the old customers and trust that
we will have the pleasure of serving any who have not for-
merly traded at this store.
We Will Sell For Cash
Due to conditions we are going to operate only
on a cash basis. While the store in former years did
a credit business, we will not be able to follow out
this policy. We trust our many friends and custo-
mers will not be disappointed in this cash policy,
but we feel that it is the only safe method for us to
operate. Thus we can give you some buying advan-
tages we would not otherwise be able to do.
We earnestly solicit your patronage after our opening
date, August 2nd. You will find us at the same old Wallace
Grocery stand on North Main.

Tenth In Series
Of Surplus Army
Goods At Childress
The tenth in a series of small
lots sales of surplus army goods
to be conducted at Childress, Tex-
as, has been announced by 1st
Lieutenant Charles P. Carlley,
Salvage Officer.
The property in this tenth sale
will be on display for five (5)
and deals almost solely with pure
science? You wouldn’t be indulg-
ing again in a little deliberate
confusion fo honest people, would
you, Henry? I
Though all the evidence points
to the contrary, Henry, let’s sup-
pose for a moment that you are
right and that a small number
of corporation do control scienti-
fic and technical research in this
country. You see that as an im-
pediment to research. So what
you now suggest seems to be a
bit inconsistent, for what you pro-
pose would reduce that small
number to only one. Isn’t that
exactly what you are trying to
when you advocate the establish-
ment of an Office of Scientific
and Technical Mobilization—
wouldn’t that be putting research
into the hands of one organiza-
tion— the government? When
has government, or any entrench-
ed bureaucracy, under any form
of civil service, ever distinguish-
ed itself for creative perfor-
mance? Tut! Tut! Henry.
days, beginning at 8:00 AM, Mon-
day, July 22, 1946, and will con-
tinue through Friday, July 26,
1946. All prospective purchasers
are notified that the hours of in-
spection of this property are
from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and
that no one will be allowed to in-
spect or bid on the property be-
fore or after the hours specified.
This tenth sale of surplus army
property will be conducted in the
very same manner as the pre-
vious sales in that no deposit of
money or contracts will be re-
quired on this sale. At 8:00 AM,
Monday, July 29, 1946, all bids
will be opened publicly, and
awards made to the highest bid-
der. After all awards are made,
the highest bidder will be notified
by mail or other means and will
be given five (5) days to appear,
pay for, and remove the property.
All bidders are advised that the
Government accepts their bids as
bidding in good faith, and in the
event that such bids are success-
ful, the bidder is expected and re-
quired to take such lots. Indis-
criminate bidding with no inten-
tion of taking the property has
caused considerable loss of time
and expense to both the Govern-
ment and the bidder who bids in
good faith. The Government re-
serves the right to reject any or
all bids at any time.
Property to be sold in this
tenth sale of small lots of sur-
plus goods is of wide interest to
a variety of personnel. Photo-
graphers, carpenters, mechanics,
plumbers, office equipment deal-
ers, welders, and tailors will be
interested in the items for sale.
Items included in this tenth sale
consists of photo supplies, car-
penter tools, small items of of-
fice equipment, pipe - fitting,
paints, wooden bins, welding rods,
beds, pool tables, kitchen ware,
tailor shop machines, and many
others. Any individual may bid
on any or all lots of property or
sale and awards granted to the
one placing the highest bid. How-
ever, employees of the War De-
partments and Army personnel
will not be permitted to enter,
a bid on the material for sale,V
Naval personnel, however, are *
eligible for this sale.
When the prospective bidder
arrives at the field he will be
given direction to the Salvage
Office where the property is be-
ing displayed and full informa-
tion concerning the manner of
bidding will be extended to him
at the time.

Electricity
Works for Peanuts!
.And if you aren’t up on today’s expressive slang,
"peanuts” means a very small amount of money.
Like your electric bill. It really is "peanuts,” isn’t
it—compared to most other items in your family
budget?
While the cost of most things climbed through
the years—the price of electric service kept right
on going down. Even in wartime, when pratically
all prices popped up, electricity actually became a
few "peanuts” cheaper.
As a matter of fact, the average American family
gets twice as much electricity for its money today
as it did 15 years ago!
All of this goes to prove an important point.
Sound business management—and experienced
employees—together have given the American
people dependable, low-priced electric service—
the best and most in the world! You’ll enjoy that
service even more in the electric years ahead.
