TOM WALSH'S WILL IS
STILL CAUSING TROUBLE

Denver, Feb. Sunless the heirs
of Thomas Walsh, the multi million
are mining man, can prove that his
legal residence was not in Colorado,
at the time of his death in Washing
ton, ID. c., Judge Dunn of the Arap-
ahoe county court will appoint an
administrator to seize all the per-
sonal property of the Walsh estate
and hold it until taxes of S135,OOO
shall have been paid to the assessor
of Arapahoe county. Judge Dunn so
ruled yesterday, sustaining the con-
tention that Walsh was legally dom
iciled in Colorado at the time of his
death. Following the filing of their
answer, the question of fact as to his
legal domicile will be determined. Ii
is conceded that Walsh was a legal
resident of Arapahoe county in 1906.
1907, 1908 and 1903, and the fact
that his heirs paid an Inheritance tax
of 100000 to the state of Colorado is
taken as the strongest evidence that
his legal residence was in Colorado
and in Arapahoe county at the time
OF his death. The assessor is suing
the estate for back taxes for several
years including from the time that
Walsh first established residence at

TALK ABOUT SLOWNESS
OF COURTS, HOW'S THIS?

Boston, Mass, Feb, S.-A case
which has been pending in the Suf-
folk county court for 40 years was
ended today and judgment will be
entered for the estate of the plaintiff
for $54 ,262.
The suit was brought by James
7. Moore against Daniel T. Rawson
a Company, formerly wholesale boot
and shoe dealers in Boston, and was
for the settlement of a partnership
account. For ~ years no substan-
tial progress was made in the pro-
ceedings, as three masters appointed
by the court, died before making
any report,
Every person originally connected
with the case, including judges and
counsel, is dead, the last survivor,
Mr.. Moore, the plaintiff, having died
last year. The work of the master
was made more difficult because the
books had been damaged almost to
the point of destruction in the great
Boston fire of 1871.

Buffalo, n. Y, Feb. S.-Fashion's
DEGREES governing mems dress during
1912 offer small comfort to the fat
man. The dictum of the Custom CUT
ters' association of America, now in
session here. is as follows:
THE slender man is to be the mod
ell for 1912. To be considered well
dressed and well groomed a man must
give the impression of slenderness. If
he is not naturally slender his tailor
must adopt measures to make him
appear so. The effects must all tend
to produce slenderness."
Conservatism will be the watch
word according to Chairman NJ. p.
Walker. There will be no padded
shoulders and tighter fits will be the
order of the day. Either plain or
striped effects will be correct.

ALBERT s. Osborn, author OF CUES
toned Documents and an authority
on the subject, declares that the forg-
cry loss In this country for the year
1011 is fully Sic, 100000" writes Frank
Marshall White in the Munsey. In an
article, 1.-THE Day of the Forger," the
writer quotes Osborn as saying:
"Clever penmen are leaving a trail of
bad checks reaching from Portland,
Me-, to Portland, Ore. Banks and ho-
tells are naturally the shining marks
of the forger; but nearly, If not
quite, as much money is paid out on
forgeries by individuals, small store
keepers, and business houses as by all
the banks and hotels combined. A
large proportion, especially OF the
unreported forgeries, is IN amounts
OF less, than 500. II the forger of a
small check has vanished, and only
doubtful clue remains, the natural
impulse is not to send good money
after bad" In most cases, nothing is
done, and the criminal goes on his
way unhampered and unafraid. Banks
naturally do not care to have il
known that they pay out customers
money on forged paper, and IL the
forger Is gone they are not inclined
to take much trouble to find him."

The tip kernels are likely to be flinty
and of a pop corn shape, which is un-
desirable in dent corn. II bare tips
are noticeable to quite an extent
throughout the field, it may be due to
the fact that the silks representing
the tip kernels which were formed last
were too late to receive the pollen to
fertilize them. If ears having defec-
tive tips are used for seed, their I'M
desirable characters will soon become
permanent. Open tips usually accom-
pany shallow and irregular kernels on
the ear which makes the kernels on
that part Of the ear undesirable for
planting, on account of lack of uni
formity.
In judging the character Of the butt
OF an ear of corn, the way in which
the rows come over towards the shank
is important. If the corn comes in
too close, the ears may drop off the
stalk during the ripening and not full
ly mature. All ears which have butts
improperly filed should be rejected
Corn breeders in desiring to get a
large proportion of corn to the cob,
often choose ears with too small an at
tachment for the shank. The butt and
the tip kernels are rejected for plant
ing, because they are more likely to
be mixed with other varieties and
owing to their peculiar formation, they
are not uniform, and interfere in the
planting. They also seem weaker in
termination and are more tardy in

growth than kernels from the middle
parts of the ear.
Kernels should be of perfect wedge
shape, narrower or wider at the point,
according to the variety Characters
tics.
They should be uniform in shape,
size and color and true to the type or
variety. The crown or big end of the
kernel should be such that the edges
of the kernels slope from tip to crown.
The tip of the kernel, which is the
part attached to the cob, and contains
the germ is rich in protein and oil
and Of the highest feeding value. For
this reason plump tip usually indi-
Gates vitality.
The kernels on the cob may be ir-
regular, being deeper at the butt than
at the tip. This makes the kernels
non-uniform in size. and renders the
corn almost wholly unfit for seed. No
machine will plant kernels of this type
SO as TO get uniform stand.
Kernels with weak or shriveled tips
should be discarded, no matter how
well the outside of the ear may look.
At least So per cent. Of the oil in the
kernel is in the germ, hence corn
with well formed germs Is desirable.
Tests by the Illinois experiment sta
ton show that the oil in corn may
vary from 21s to 71s per cent. and
protein from 61s to 16 per cent. II
seed corn contains large amount Of
protein and oil the crop grown from
this seed will be high in these desir-
able features.
Standard measurements for corn
produced In northern, middle and
southern Wisconsin, are as follows:
Length, northern section 8 to inches,
central, 81 to az inches, southern Sh
to 91s inches. Long ears are objection
able because they usually have poor
butts and tips, shallow kernels and
hence low per cent. of grain to the
ear. In general the circumference
should be three-fourths the length.
The standards for various sections in
Wisconsin are: Northern to Ga
inches, central 6h to inches, south
ern to 71a inches.
