State Purchasing Agent Pirie is now free to enter into contract with a St. Louis firm for the manufacture of 5,500 road markers bearing a de- sign of a covered wagon and I tm f oxen. Secretary Cochran of the; ur.L.UCUb i 1 ceiveu a jener Hum Ae&i&iaiiL miui- j ney General Ayres expressing the' belief that the department is justi- fied in proceeding with the contract for manufacture of these markers and in using them "unless and until enjoined from doing so." Mr. Coch ran was out of town Thursday. He said recently he would follow the attorney general's advice. Matthew Thimgan of Murdock has threatened to enjoin the manufac ture on the ground that he obtained a patent upon the design of the cov ered wagon in the fall of 1927. The state department has been using the markers for about two years. It is estimated that the royalty claimed by Thimgan would amount to $7,000. Mr. Ayres advises the highway de partment that Max Dusterhoff, a for mer resident of Murdock, now living at Los Angeles where he is a pro fessioal decorator, says he is the de signer of the covered wagon in ques tion and that he says: "I do not think that Mr. Thim gan was entitled to a patent in hi3 own name," says Mr. Ayres, "upon a design that was in reality the work of Mr. Dusterhoff." He cites the United States statutes to show that they require a patent to issue upon application of and in the name of the real inventor. The state highway department originally called for bids on these markers, a design to be submitted with bids. The design submitted by Mr. Thimgan was altered some and has since been used by the state. TAKES RIGID STAND AGAINST ARBITRATION Geneva, Feb. 24.

Lord Cushendun said they had called at tion to the totaly different circum stances for which they needed to pro vide as compared with European tvates. and asked why it should be imagined that one treaty could fit the diverse circumstances of the dif ferent European states.

The next presi dent of the United States will be Herbert Hoover or Alfred Smith men of "heroic ambition," Gov. Al van T. Fuller, republican, said in a Washington's birthday address to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company of Boston today.

"Fof the future we must have a government that can be loved, not merely supported. We must have candidates of heroic ambition de voted to the interests of the strug gling' millions, men determined to alleviate the misery of our industrial towns and mining districts. We must have men who because of their ideal's or humble beginnings will be devot ed to the interests of the people as opposed to the sinister influences, which, operating behind the scenes, have played an altogether too im portant part in our national govern ment.

More Hogs and Horses of the State Marketed Decreasing: Horse Population Stirs Kaiket 27 Per Cent More Hogs are Killed. Horses and hogs were the only farm animals going to market in larger numbers in January than in the same month last year or for the past five years, figures obtained by the state and federal bureau of agri cultural statistics revealed. Horses showed a 77 per cent increase over last year and hogs 24. S per cent. Cattle decreased 4.2 per cent, when compared with January, 1!C7. The steadily decreasing horse pop ulation seems to have stirred market activity in horses and mules, the re port said. Receipts totalled 87.55! in January, compared with an aver age of CS.SG5 head for the f;e years 1H2.U1027. Hog receipts were 1.2 per cent above the average for Janu ary of the last live years, hut prices were, ruinously low, clue in part to the heavy production. Receipts this year in January were 24 per cent above the average for January of the last live years, but prices were ruin ously low, due in part to the heavy production. Receipts this year in January were 24. S per cent greater than the same period last year. Cattle received at markets totalled 1,272,396 head, a 4.2 per cent de crease over last January; alves fell off 1.1 per cent and lambs 2 rer cent in receipts. More cattle went Lack to the country for feeding than last year, but 90,995 or 43.9 per cent fewer lambs were shipped out for feed'ng. This year 5,305,840 hogs went to sixty-seven reporting markets in January, compared to '4,25i;663 last year. Cut of that number, only 77. 471 were reshipped as stocker and feeding hogs as compared with 9S, 671 head reshipped for that purpose last year. The number of hogs slaughtered showed a 27. S pc. cent increase over last year in January, and on February 1, 1D2S. the United States had S7.7S0.000 pounds of lard in storage compared with 69.756.000 pounds in February. 1927. On Febru ary 1. 192S, there were 794.319,000 pounds of meat in storage, compared with 750,5 03,000 pounds last Febru ary 1st. With this increase in reserve pros pects of a large lamb crop and much of the hog surplus still to come to market, the prediction of 6 to 10 per j cent reduction in cattle marketing for the last year does not indicate an early revision of present values to the farmer.

Resolutions Call for Enlargement and Continuance of Read Pro gram ; For Gas Tax Boost The Nebraska Good Roads asso ciation is a state-wide organization composed of business men, farmers and community service organizations. I The object of this association is to co-ordinate the citizenship of Ne braska in a centralibed and con tinued mass effort to promote the construction and maintenance of the modern highways of the state, that state-wide distribution and communi cation mal be developed to the high est degree. The 1928 program as adopted by pproximately five hundred men as- embled in convention at Norfolk, is a sembled composed of five resolutions: That as fast as funds are avail able, we proceed to complete the present gravel program. When the system of state roads is completed, they will carry a large percentage of all traffic. II That the two cent gasoline tax. as it now stands both as to use and Capons, over 8 lbs., per lb appointment, be continued. This is necessary to continue the present gravel program. Ill That an additional tax of one cent on gasoline be added, the proceeds of. which shall be used to construct and I maintain county roads as feeders to state highways. The object of this resolution is to furnish funds for graveling the coun-i tv .nnric if,r,t nont.i:H. r,f a county tax levy. This additional one cent would furnish about one and nn-half million iriir nrr vo.-ir .-ill of which would go to the counties, It is estimated this will gravel an- proximately two thousand miles of county roads each year and would connect every town and market with every ether town and market in the state. There are about three hun dred towns in Nebraska not on the state system. IV That legislation be passed or pres ent laws be so amended whereby counties can vote bonds for perman ent improvement of state and federal roads, said bonds and interest to be retired out of the state 2c tax ac cording to each county's apportion ment. The association is not asking for and dees not approve of any larg' pnving program, however, there are some short stretches of highways where the traffic is so heavy that the cost or maintenance of gravel is an economic waste. This resolution simp ly asks for permission to anticipate the 2e gas tax and federal aid, by the counties, that wish to vote bonds for the purpose of paving these short rtretches. This would in no way in terfere with any other county's ap portionment of these funds. It will largely apply to counties where the present gravel program is completed or nearly so, and where it has been impossible to maintain other sur facing. V That the auto registration license fees be restored to the original figure which existed prior to 1925 and that a division be made as follows: Fifty per cent of the total registration fees to go to the counties for construct ing and maintaining county roads as feeders to state highways: Fifty per j cent to go to the state for the main- tenance of the state highway sys tem, provided that not to exceed forty per cent of such state share may be used by the department of puonc woikb ior construction oi highways, or to assist in the con , ftruction cf highways where such construction is neccrssary to obtain ( conti,luitv. cf jmDrovement The main nliippt the association j hag iu offering lhis resolution is to create a floating fund. This would . f!.nish f,1?1f, ut ran h shifted about for the betterment of the en- . tirp svstenK Tiie average license fee in Nebraska is ten dollars. The av oraee in the rnjted States is thir- . tepn fonars. if Nebraska adds two doiIars to her license fees. Nebras kans WOuld still be paying one dol- ilar under the average in the United cfa(.s The work of the Nebraska Good Roads association is the carrying on of an educational campaign. Their principle means of doing this is by means of lectures, talks and dis cussions with community clubs, chambers of commerce and other civic organizations. SWIFTS WANT A BUILDING Nebraska City, Feb. 21.

This is said to be the first solid car load of dandelions shipped to market over the Missouri Pacific lines, al though smaller quantities have teen reaching the markets during recent years.
