Sells q Ford

The Clay City Motors Company
sold one used Ford last week to
w. l.. Byrd for $4,000. Interest
in automobiles seems to be pick
ing up quite deal in Powell
county now since roads are dry

more permanent improvements in
the near future. Our own home
trade, together with the transient
trade coming later on, should be
sufficient to keep both of tn
city's garages busy.

The Times does not approve of
what the Fiscal court does every

James has maligned the Powell
Fiscal court. This court has done
nothing of its own accord. 1t has
done everything as per orders of

Public Roads for their operations

Dawson's incumbency as Divis.

Dawson or our Fiscal court we
resent it, because they have done
the best they could under the au-
thorities they have labored.

Powell County Criticized

to March /, 1920. State Inspec.
tor and Examiner Henry K.
James finds fault with the Fiscal
Court of that county for desig.
mating the county judge as road
com missioner. Such practice,
he said, is hazardous from a f..
nancial standpoint and likely to
cause trouble for the person sp.
pointed.
Powell county in 1913 contract.
ed with a construction company
for part of the road and its
branches. After some work had
been done by the contractor he
became involved in q law suit
with the officials of Powell coun.
ty. conterding that he had
right to break the contract,
which he did. The Fiscal Court
then appointed County Judge ID
X. Daniel road commissioner.
For the period covered by the
report more than three miles of
metal road was constructed by
the county and accepted by the
state. The road cost $25, 432 SO
or a little less than 1000 mile.
p Inspector James says that the
part of the road built by contract
is NOT so bad but that the part
constructed by force account was
very expensive and in many in
stances public money was vast
ed.--Lexington Herald.
State Inspector and Examiner
Henry K. James, has been to
Stanton il seems from the above
report which is not correct in the
whole.
The Powell Fiscal Court has
not designated Judge DAM e !
County Road Commissioner as
Inspector James reports. But he
was appointed commissioner to
draw pay for expenses of the
work in progress.
The road contractor he speaks of
as suing the officials of the coun.
ty TO break the contract is false.
The road contractor who brought
the suit is the editor of this pa
per. He brought suit against
Division Engineer Joe S. BOggs
and F. q. Phillips County In.
spector to compel them to furn.
ish plans and profiles of the road
as the law provides and to make
up estimates so lie could draw
pay. True the County Judge was
made minor party 10 the suit,
but this was necessary to get the
case to stick IN court, and was
not in fact a complaint against
any of the county officials who
had the money and was anxious
for the work to proceed and pay
for it.
The road work cost too much
money, we will agree, but the
construction work did not cost
$25, 432. 50 as Mr.. James says nor
any ways near that much. And
if it did most of it was o. KID.

Woman Made Good i'm Mans
Job She Won DURING World War

feminist invader OF other skilled trades
closed to women before the war con-
tinues to invade them and make good
In manner to give the mere male
gloomy thoughts Of the future with the
feminsts crying for more rights and
threatening to raise fuss II they don't
get them.
The readjustments after the signing
OF the armistice caused no larger pro-
portion of women to drop out of indus
try than in the case OF the men.
These facts were revealed today by
Miss Marie L. Obrauer expert on
woman labor who gave valuable aid
to the government during the war, and
are borne out by the survey OF the ma
tional war work council of the Young
Women's Christian association, to be
made public through the United States
department Of labor.
This Survey, the most thorough Of
It's kind ever made, shows the extent
of the woman invasion in every branch
Of industry from the production OF soda
fountains and chicken feed to the MAX
ing of guns and munitions.
1t covers approximately $4,000 fac
tories. or the 100000 persons en-
ployed In these factories 100000 are
women.
Statistics furnished by the Internal
tional Machinists' union, which admit
ted women to membership during the
war on basis of full equality show
dropped out of the organization since
the armistice. 1t still has nearly 10000
women machinists on its rolls.
They represent only the organized
women in the trade, and, according to
surveys, only small proportion OF the
women machinists still on the job.
THE outstanding fact disclosed by all
the surveys is that the American
woman has not lost the high status In
the skilled trades which she won dur
ing the war" stated Miss Obrauer. I'm
other words, she has made good on
