K; predicament
The same injurious advertising in fin*
CleA,which Texas received as a result of ti»
Archer County road bond decision, invalidating
Texas district road bonds, seems to have been re-
peated as the outcome of the appellate court deci-
nion recently in holding that water districts form-
ed under the act of the Thirty-ninth legislature
were illegally formed. This act passed in 1925 pro-
vided that districts could be organized on a ma-
jority, while the act of 1917 called for a two-thirds
majority. The newer act also provided that land-
owners not benefitted by the improvement “may”
be excluded from the district, while the older sta-
tute made exclusion mandatory.
1 This muddle apparently comes at a very in-
opportune time, for on the heels of the court
decision comes the announcement that a group of
Eastern bankers and bond houses have decided to
invest 150.000,000 in Texas irrigation bonds. This
bond tangle of course will slow up any program of
investing money in this class of securities, and of-
fers another reason for quick action by the proper

FARM LEGISLATION
A new form of agricultural trouble has assail-
ed the farmers of Massachusetts, a trouble that has
not yet become serious in Texas. As might be ex-
pected, legsilation is under way to cure this evil.
It all came about when fanners discovered that
they .could make more money by setting up road-
side stands in front of their homes on the promi-
nent highways and sell their products direct to the
consumer. All went well, and business flourished
for the thrifty New Englanders who dressed up at-
tractive stands, covered with fruits and vegetables
which appealed to the city dwellers, anxious to get
fresh farm produce at supposedly lower prices than
prevailed in the city.
Owners of produce businesses in the city
thought it was a good idea, and immediately hied
themselves to the rural districts and set up stands.
They brought their stocks of fruits and vegetables
from the city, added several lines of shipped in
produce and soon the farmer found his profit taken
•Way.
The bill now pending before the Massachusetts
legislature will inaugurate a system of registration
and certification of genuine farm stands, in order
that the public will be able to differentiate between
the home-grown and city-stored produce.

And So Do They
Most men In their attitude to

—“I don’t know anythfng about art

Men know what they like but
they don’t know why, and they
don't like according to the rules of
the game as laid down by the cou-
turiers and style experts.
Men like FINE Pink

these are the colon- that appeal,
and not the sophisticated inauves

odd orchids that women are more
apt to like. At a training school
for children's nurses the students
are told to wear pink a great deal
because children like It and I
think this is equally true of tile

“The country is growing bigger,” says Thomas
E. Robertson, commissioner of patents. “People
come into more and more contact with machinery
and inventive minds are stimulated. And whenever
people are out of work they apparently get busy
making inventions. Tney have plenty of time and
are inspired with the hope that they may devise a
short cut to wealth.
“We have had a tremendous increase in radio,
automobile and aviation applications. Nine of our
men are working on nothing but internal combus-
tion engines.
“Inventions shouldn’t be held up more than a
month. The present situation here means a drag on
industry, aside from its effect on the individual
inventor. Extensive manufacture of a new invention
means more employment and the sooner we get to
producing it the better. But often important in-
vention* are held up by lack of patents. Financing
! is withheld and all other plans concerning the pro-
I motion and production of tbe device are delayed.
“But all we can hope for here is action by Con-
gress or a marked slump in invention if we are to
keep from running behind still further.”
REVERSE THE PROCESS
Almost any Texas farmer can testify that a
jot of money has been put into cotton but now the
government has reversed the process and is going
to put cotton into money. To be more explicit, the
pew paper money which the government will put
out soon will contain 25 per cent cotton, whereas
old style paper money was made entirely of linen.
The new mixture of cotton with linen is said to
make a more durable paper.
Figures are not at hand to tell just what effect
this new use of cotton will have on the supply, but
even if it is slight, there are many other small uses
of cotton, which if added together, will maintain a
steady demand for the staple.

SLOW MOTION
During the summer of 1919, when army units
were still demobilizing from the war, a Dallas mes-
senger boy was run over by an army truck and
seriously injured. He stayed in a hospital for sev-
era^weeks, and when he recovered, the government
was* asked to pay J900 for doctor bills, hospital ex-
pense and loss of money the boy suffered because
of inability to work.
Last week nine years after the accident, the
government acted. The bill providing for settlement
of the claim came out of the House claims commit-
tee where it had reposed for several years. In this
lengthy wait, the committee had trimmed the bill
to 5406, and a bill providing payment of this sum
passed the House. The measure has yet to go
through the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 5.—If this year’s quota
of starving inventors adds materially to the na-
tional death rate, here’s the reason:
The Patent Office is clogged with 95,000 appli-
cations for patents. The shortest possible time in
which any new patent can be obtained is five full
months, which is plenty of time to starve. Some of
the divisions into which the applications are distri-
buted can’t promise any hope for nine months. Of
course if there are any objections or other compli-
cations the business of getting a patent may take
years.
The trouble is that invention is accelerating
and that the Patent Office is short of help. Less
than three years ago there were only 45,000 patents
awaiting action and a few of the divisions were put-
ting them through within two months, plus the
month that the Government Printing Office re-
quires to print a patent.
• • *
For two years the Patent Office was allowed
an extra force of examiners and then that was
withdrawn. Beginning in July about 50 more exam-
iners will be added, but that won’t be anywhere
near enough to catch up with the business unless
Americans stop inventing things.
More than 550 examiners, most of them under-
paid, are now working like truck horses and each
one can handle about 50 cases a month. About 100
examiners resigned last year to accept more money
elsewhere. Their salaries range from $1860 a year
at the start to $3800 a year for division chiefs.
These are professional men, scientifically and
legally educated, and trained intensively in patent
work. Naturally, this large turnover in experienced
men of great value to the service doesn’t help mat-
ters a bit.
If the economical Budget Bureau recommends
some new help in the next deficiency bill, conditions
will Improve from the standpoint of industry, in-
ventors and examiners. The last time the office was
allowed an extra hundred mtn for two years it ran
the arrears down from 74,000 to 39,000 eases.
Total applications were 103,000 in 1925
113,000 in 1927.
Col. Edmonson, editor of the Man-
ufacturers Record of Baltimore,
says that Texas is too modest about
presenting its claims. He ought to
hear some of our candidates for
Governor and United States Sen-
ate speak a few times.—Bonham

THE SUPPER-OVER
Of course you know the alipper-bver, the indi-
vidual who is going to get by with anything and
everything possible. Sometimes he is a very »cnsi-
tive person; he cordially dislikes to be found fault
with; he is disappointed and even grieved if you
are not pleased with what he does for you, but all
the same he won’t take the trouble to do the thing
the way you want it done.
The alipper-over cook is the one who in spite
of your admonitions will make the tea long before
she should, and serve you something that tastes
more as though it had come out of a can of lye than
a teapot. She will stir the rice when she has been
cautioned emphatically net to stir it, and put be-
fore you a mess more like bill-poster’s paste than
delectable cereal. She knows full well when to
make the tea; she knows how to cook rice properly
—she should, she has been told enough times; in-
stead she prefers to slip it over and try to make
you believe the tea has not been steeping for thirty
minutes and that nobody touched a spoon to that
rice from the time it was put on until Jt was taken
The slipper-over painter will daub pigment on
vour window panes, drop it on the floor, smear
brown where only white should be and white where
only brown should be. He will mix oil with varnish
ana it will never dry. He knows how to' paint, has
been painting for years. He could be a good painter
if he would but try; yet he just naturally prefers
to slip it over. Of course he is hurt when you find
fault with his slovenly application and his careless
mixing; btit he would rather be hurt and have you
angry than do his work as it should be done.
The slipper-over plumber will put in a line of
pipe so there will be a sag in it; and it won’t drain,
but it will freeze and burst. He will put in your
heating plant so that when the steam comes on it
will sound as though somebody were hammering
on every pipe in the house. Tie knows how to oo

He becomes displeased when you complain about

"I don’t see why,” raged u man at a slipper-
over employee, “when you know how to do your
work as it should be done, und I am paying you to
do it as it shoflld be done, you don’t do it as it should
be done; it is just as easy to do it right as to do it
wrong; it is just as hard to do it wrong as to do
the devil, then, don’t you do it right?”
“I guess if you are not satisfied with me,” re-
plied the slipper-over employee haughtily, "I’ll
quit.’’ He would rather quit wrong than to hold his
job right.
The slipper-over is to be found in every walk
of life—rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,
doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief. There is a strange
streak of perverseness in human nature. and it
manifests itself prominently in the slipper-over
person.
