first news of the Petrolite wreck. The
story was red-headlined in the Morn

an editorial to back the front-page

AT two o'clock in the morning a
fast westbound freight had Left the

they could get the hagman out, a de-
layedeastbound passenger had col

including the engineman, the postal
clerks and the baggageman on the pas
senger. We're injured.

CHAPTER XII
The Name on the Register


So long as / was holding on to the
notion that the man outside was one
OF Clanahan's thugs, hanging around
to do the boss u mischief, / thought
I knew pretty well what / should do
when it came to the pinch. Would
I really have hauled off and shot a
man., in cold blood? That's a tough
question. but l guess maybe I could
have screwed myself up to the stick
ing point, as the fellow says, with a
s~ure-enough gunman on the other side
of that window-and the boss life at
stake. But when I saw that it was
young Collingwood. that was a horse
of another color.
What on earth was the presi-
dentas nephew doing, proving around
Major Hendricks house after eleven
o'clock at night. Juggling a pistol and
peeking into windows? / could see
him quite plainly now. He had both
hands on the sill and was trying to
pull himself up SO that he could see
into the end Of the room where the
fireplace was.
just for the moment, there wasn't
any danger Of a blow-up. Unless he
should break the glass in the window,
he couldn't get a line on either the
boss or Mrs. Sheila-if that was what
he was aiming to do. All the same,
I kept him covered with the auto

jamb.
While the strain was at It's worst,
with the man. outside flattening his
cheek against the window-pane TO get

ture, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
They affect the kernels of corn in
such a way that while they may germi-
nate they often will produce sickly,
diseased plants which may die in early
stages or produce infected corn. These
diseases weaken the plants at the low
err joints, and if they come to maturity
the damage is perpetuated.
1t is necessary for farmers wishing
to avoid corn root rot to terminate
kernels from every cal of corn to be
used for seed. The simplest method
Of making u test Is by means of an
improved rag-doll germinator. This,
in its essential features, consists of
nothing more than a broad strip of
muslin backed by moistureproof fiber
paper. Rows Of seed kernels are
placed on the cloth which is rolled
up and left in a warm box. The re-
suits are, of course, checked against
the ears from which the kernels were
taken, and only perfect, or nearly per-
feet, ears are kept for seed. This
g%erminator is very simple and fur
nishes a practically complete test.
Bleached or unbleached muslin can
he used for the rag doll. The cloth,
which usually comes in a 54-inch
width, is torn across into 12-iuch
strips, "a inches long. Before being
used the cloth is boiled, and it should
be damp when the seeds are placed
on it. This cloth is laid on a strip
Of glazed paper, a little longer than
the cloth, to allow folding over at the
ends, fresh newspapers being placed
on the table under the paper to avoid
infection.
About 8 kernels are Their taken from
each ear and, beginning at the butt,
are laid in rows across the muslin
strip, so that when the strip is rolled
up and placed in a terminating box
the tips of the seed will be down
ward. The rag dolls are sprinkIed
twice daily, and at the end of Z days
are taken out, unrolled, and in
spected. The appearance Of the
sprouts is a guide to the quality of

signs of infection, the infected a is
thrown out. If the farmer has enough
corn it is best to throw out an al for
q single bad kernel.
Destroying the stubble.
Root rot is carried owe in stubble,
and every effort should be made to de-
stroy or pillow under as much stubble
as possible. Increasing the fertility
of the soil and crop rotation have also
been found beneficial. One difficulty
about rotation as a remedy Is that root
rot affects corn and wheat and In
many localities is always present on
the farm. For this reason the de-
partment is anxious that rag-dolt germ
inators be put into general and intelli-
gent use, and the season started with
clean seed.

PATENT OFFICE HAS RUSH

The business of the patent office at Wash ington for the past six months has been the heaviest for any half year in its entire his tory. The receipts for applications for patents amounted to 4j005, as compared with 426O7, 37 ,153 and 31 ,5GS for the first six months of the years 1920, 1919 and 1918. The receipts of applicants for trade -markes totaed 8,369 in this time, as C mpared with 7,940, 5,447 and 3,73O for the corresponding periods of 1920 1921 and 1918. The gain in applications for patents received in the half yearly period just closed over the first six months of 1918 was 42@ per cent, while the gain in trademark applications amounted to 124 per cent
 In spite of the industrial depression, the amount of business presented to the patent office in every branch has constantly increased since the year 1918, and in leaps and bounds The demands upon the patent office are be, yond any previous figures in its history with no recession in sight, and are far in excess of the capacity of its limited and practically stationary force to properly handle.

 While state road building policies were noth ing new, in view of the action inaugurated by Kentucky in 1891, which resulted in the con pletion of 343 miles of state roads by 1857, very little had been accomplished by any of the states or the federal government beyond the construction of the toll roads and the ''National Old Trails Road'' from Cumber land, Md, to St. Louis Mo. The latter was begun in 1906, during the administration of Thomas Jefferson.
 The first state aid law was passed in the New Jersey legislature in 1891. The next year "The National League for Good Roads" was formed to conduct vigorous campaign for the establishment of a federal highway bur can. In 1893 the department of agriculture, in accordance with an act of congress approved March 3, 1893, established the office of road inquiry to investigate systems of road manage ment throughout the United States
 The automobile was introduced from 1895 pnshed it far to the front The introduction of the motor truck in 1904 sent it forward to even greater heights. The following year New York state took the lead by appropriat- ing $50000,000 for good roads.
