HURT IN WRECK
RAIL HURLS |. c. ENCUR-
SION TRAIN FROM TRACK.
Four Coaches Plunge Down Ten-Foot
Embankment = 1870 Passengers
Are Badly Shaken Up.

Hopkinsville, KY, Oct. 21.-A bro
ken rail caused an excursion train on
the Illinois Central to leave the tracks
at Green's crossing, six miles from
here, and at least fifty people were
considerably injured, while all Of the
hundred and eighty passengers aboard
were badly shaken up.
The accident occurred on top of an
embankment aboJ ten feet high, and
the four passenger coaches plunged off
of this, three of them turning over
on the side as they fell. Only the
slow speed at which the train was run-
ming, about fifteen miles an hour as
it approached Green's crossing, saved
more disastrous results.
The train was headed for Paducah.
Most of the passengers being Wood
men of the World from this and neigh
boring towns, who expected to attend
the big Woodmen rally at Paducah.
But the wreck caused a change OF
plans and all returned here at the
first opportunity.
A telephone was close by the scene
of the wreck and a hurry call was sent
in for physicians and all sorts of
help.
This was rushed out by several au
tomobiles and a quickly organized
train and the injured were soon re-
.ceiving attention and as far as pos
sible were brought here and their
wounds looked after more carefully.
None regarded as being fatally injured,
though several will be laid up for
some time with fractured bones, rup-
tured ligaments. cuts and bruises.

Liquid Air as Motive Power.

Scientists declare that as d motive power for operating automobiles and motorboats liquid air is superior 10 the electric storage battery, since 1t requires no tedious waiting for the process of recharging and it delivers more than double the power of the former, with half the weight. Gaso- line is not in the same class with liquid air. for the latter emits no noxious odors. nor is there any danger of explosions. AS a refl'igerant there is no source of cold like liquid air. Other than operating automobiles ana serving as refrigerant there is hardly thing the human mind can think of that liquid air cannot do. from pro- viding a magical entertainment to the production of continuous power Yet there is kicking process by which 1t can be produced cheaply enough to compete with other sources of motive forces now in use.-Chicago Tribune.

WASHING k MofoReAR.
Rreesptiens te observs to Avsid lHiu.s
 ina the Narnish.

The factory manager of a large au- ! romobile company gives the following advice regarding the washing of car:
 To wash car properly with soap first dissolve in a pail of water suf- ficient soap to make Il good suds. Then in the washing operation use the suds. sopping it on from the sponge instead of rubbing the soap on wet sponge or, what is worse, rubbing 1t on the surface of the car. Before applying the suds the car should be rinsed thoroughly with water. using gen. tie stream. This is important. as all particles of grit and dirt must be re- moved from the surface before al- plying the sponge. Apply the suds literally where the parts are dirty: then rinse off with clear water and a fresh sponge. flowing the water be- low the sponge to insure that any grit and dirt that may be left on the surface are washed away before the sponge has chance to pick them up and scratch the surface. After the final sponging the surface should be dried with a clean wet channels
 In washing the chassis the same methol is in order. except that 1t may be necessary to use stronger studs. Where cars are in use oVer oily or muddy roads frequent washing is nee essary. and this washing should be done as soon as possible after the car leaves the road. as when this oil or mud dries on the car it is very difficult to refnove and will damage the var nish. it being impossible under certain oil and mud conditions to remove all the stains. In this connection il is im portant that neither the bonnet nor radiator is washed while it is hot, as to do so will dull the luster, ruining it in a very short time.
 Another point which should be given attention is that the same sponge should not be used for washing both the body and the chassis. Both sponges should he of the best quality. care be- ing taken at all times to keep them clean and in proper condition.

NOVEL BLAST FORGE.
Piston Operating In Cylinder Pre-
 duces Air Pressure.

A portable forge with a blast pros duced by piston operating in cyl inder has been patented by an Eng lish inventor, who claims that the large volume of air thus compressed in the reservoir makes the blast much more even than in forges operated by bellows only.
 Within the body of the forge. which is the compressed air reservoir, are the compressing cylinder and piston.

PORTABLE BLAST FORGE.

When the pedal is pressed downward by the foot of the operator the piston in the cylinder is raised, causing air to be sucked in through flap valves in the bottom. When the pressure on tue pedal is released. the spring draws the piston back to the bottom of the cylinder again. and continuation of the operation causes pressure to be set up within the reservoir.

THE OLD TIME STOREKEEPER.
BY George Wood Anderson.

Written especially for Public Opinion
The old time shopkeeper kept his
store as though it were a secret
order, and his merchandise as
stealthily stored away as though it
were the password. Those were the
days of slow and tiresome travel and
the weary customer would gladly
wait and rest while the storekeeper
would look through all the shelves,
drawers and boxes wondering if he
had ANY more of that stuff left yet"
Those were the good old days of the
withered prunes, green coffee and
sorghum sugar How things have
changed! Since those quiet days the
saddle-bags have given away to the
carriage and canal boat, the train
and electric car, the automobile and
flying machine, and the store, instead
of having the quietude of a lodge
room between meetings, is now a
great emporium of trade, filled with
business activity, that draws men to
them as magnet draws filings of
steel.
What brought such transforma-
ton?
Inventive genius had it's share;
educational institutions were good
agents; the church and meeting
house were not among the least; but
strong as any, and more efficient than
many, was the newspaper with its
power to call attention to every mark
of progress. Its pages made the pro-
gressive, advertising merchant
household name everywhere It's
pictures representing the activity and
splendor of these growing places of
business lent charm of more than
oriental grandeur, stirring and quick
ening the imagination and whetting
the curiosity until the people would
not rest until they had seen the
store and purchased his goods. If it
had not been for the newspapers you
would likely never have heard Of
John Wanamaker nor Marshall Field.
The judicious use of advertising
made them famous and their bust
ness influence world wide Every
man of success is in close touch with
the newspapers.

the corn has terminated to discard
everything that does not come up to
the highest possible standard. Just
as soon as everything that is weak or
dead in the first bach is discarded
you are then ready to cord up the
good corn and try out another supply.
1t is quite worth while this year to
work on corn even though the first
test shows that it contains as low as
20 per cent of good seed and no man
should be satisfied to solve his diff
culties by planting weak seed thick.
That plan is too slipshod to go in
these days of high spirited land. BY
carrying through the system that we
have outlined until enough seed is
obtained there is no reason why corn
that will terminate 100 per cent can
not be obtained.
There are other simple methods of
testing seed corn. Some may prefer
to use damp cloths marked off in
squares and inserted between layers
of damp sawdust or soil, while still
others will resort to the use of the
commercial tester. We simply advise
the adoption of whatever system may
seem best adapted to ones condi-
lions. While the weather is cold the
work of testing must be done in a
building where there is artificial
heat. We have known cases where
the test has been made under condi-
tions were were too severe and which
resulted in discarding corn that was
absolutely good This is a blunder
that no man should make. On the
other hand, it is claimed that seed
can be tested under conditions that
are too ideal, thus making the corn
show up much better than It will lat
er on in the field. We do not take
much stock in this theory because
good corn is good corn the world
over and if the germ has been par
TALLY injured it will show under
favorable conditions just as we'll as
under those that are unfavorable.
We well realize that considerable
number of corn growers hold the
opinion that they are able to deter
mine by visual examination wheth-
er the termination quality of corn
has been injured or not. We were
formerly of this opinion ourselves,
but we cannot further subscribe to
this old fashioned faith. Jack Frost
does his deadly work so silently and in
many instances with so slight a trace
of his visit that germ cells may be
wholly or partially injured without
this being in the least degree appar-
ent to the naked eye. We have no
hesitation in saying that belief in
this now discarded theory which so
often results in the replanting of
corn that is weak, takes it's toll of
millions of dollars annually out of
the pockets of the corn growers OF
the central west. The organized eff
fort that is being put forth on every
hand in favor of seed corn testing is
made for the purpose of preventing
this loss. Where a partial stand of
corn results from carelessness in the
selection of seed, the first hand loss
is felt by the grower himself, and in
many cases it amounts to a real dis
aster, but it must be remembered
that the shock is passed on until il
hits every member of the commrn-
ity.
