doing business in Cleveland, Ohio, under the
sign of Clark < Rockefeller
The beginning of the name OF the JUNIOR
partner was John D, and from the trst news
Of EI Dorado he seemed to be keenly interested
in all oil talk He had been in TltusVlile sew
eral times on business, dealing usually with q
man named Franklin Breed, and after the
news from the field had grown better Tor weeks
following weeks, Rockefeller again went 70
the little town, stopping with Mr. Breed
He arrived a Monday afternoon IN Decem-
Der. and for perhaps an hour the two trans
acted such business as their houses had IN
common. Then the Clevelander broached the
subject of oil. which remained the sole topic
Of conversation until supper, and through It,
and after It till bedtime. The result was a
r-or7ise from Breed TO show his guest IN the
morning . well which he Just had bought at
Petroleum Center, not far away, And at once
after breakfast the Two set out.
In those DAYS Petroleum Center was con-
Dected with Titusvile merely by a country

had to leave their horses at last, IN order TO

in the unsavory mess. Then, as ne was being
dragged out OF his predicament, he remarked

You've got me into this oil business pretty

As a matter OF fact, it may be added, the

DISCOVERS vlNELEss POTATOES
Montana Man Places on Exhibit This
WnnderfuI Product

Great Falls, Mont, Sept. 26.-At the
county fair, which opened here yester-
day, there is one exhibition waich the
inventor says, is vineless potatoes.
Some three months ago C. D. Darst,
the discoverer of the new process for
producing potatoes, announced that he
could grow potatoes in from two to
three months, in a special prepara-
tion discovered by himself, in layers
Dn top of each other and without vines.
His experiments have been conduct
ed in box 8 feet square. In the
bottom of this box layer of Darst's
preparation is placed to the depth of
inches, and a number of potatoes
planted therein. Another layer of 8
inches is scattered over these pota-
toes and more potatoes planted in the
usual way and so on until the frame is
filed
Darst claims that the box may be
built to almost any height with layer
after layer of potatoes without af-
fecting the producing quality of COM
position, and that he can have new po-
tatoes for market in any climate at any
time of the year.
