j. 5. ISSUES PATENT
: NUMBER 100000
Granted to Simon Lake Gov
ering Submarine Which
Will Work Under Ice.
RATE INCREASES RAPIDLY
First Half Million Took 81 Years
Second, Is, and Third, l3.
Storage q Problem.

Uncle Sam issued his one and one
half millionth patent today. GOanted
to Simon Lake, we'll known inventor of
Connecticut, for new type of sub
mersible vessels designed to navigate
under ice, the patent marks a mile
stone on the road of industrial prog
ress and the whole series of patents
issued by the United States patent Of
flee since its establishment in 1886, il
lustrates a period of progress I'M
paralleled in the enttre history of the
human race.
With the exception of a few-al-
though Observation-Disclosures, the rise
of modern lnduStrtaliSm and a
changed economic order are illustrat-
ed by the range of patents issued
since 1885. The patent issued today,
No. 100000, does. not include those
issued before the present patent Of
fice came into existence. Before that
time patents were issued under the
authority of the President. signed by
him, the Secretary or State and the
Attorney General.
The 00,000th patent was issued in
1893, while the millionth patent was
reached in 1911. Fifty seven years
elapsed before the issuance of the
first half million patents, eighteen
years before the issuance OF the sec
ond half million, and thirteen years
million.
The first period saw perfection of
the steam engine, development of the
art of electric generation of power,
its transmission. electric lighting,
heating and communication: indus
trial chemistry. the invention OF
labor-saving machinery and the in
ternal-combuSt1on engine. The sec
ond period saw the invention of the
automobile, the airplane and wire
less communication. The last period.
covering the past thirteen years, is
notable largely for intensive pursuit
of improvements. particularly in the
multiplication of labor-saving de-
vices. the refinement in electrical ap-
paratus and development of auto
matte telephony and radio communi-
cation.
Copies of all the patents issued are
on file in the patent office and form
the permanent record of the Office.
So vast is the number of copies and
duplicates that they have become a
problem to the patent office for stor-
age. Where to find space for this
expanding number Of documents is a
question that is puzzling officials.

THRILLS IN BALL GAME.
All-Year Bachelors Contest With
Summertime Bachelors.

A base ball game between "All-year-
round Bachelors" and Summertime
Bachelors" featured the annual field day
Of the local University Club at the Co,
lumbia Country Club yesterday after
noon. The game, which had been pre-
viously announced as a game Of Indoor
base ball outdoors according to the
spectators furnished many thrills, and
the result was in doubt until the last
inning, at the end of which the victors
had managed to collect IL runs to their
opponents 10.
J. Raymond Hoover, the umpire, on
account Of the closeness of the contest,
had his decisions frequently disputed,
but managed to have the game continued
without banishing any of the star play
ers from the game.
Jesse B. Adams was the winner OF a
golf cup for having made the best score
in a game participated in by several
members of the club earlier in the day.
Following the ball game dinner was
served, at which number of vocal
solos were rendered by Jack Bowie. Tho
day was declared to have been a success
and was enjoyed by all.

pleasant and comfortably dressed
woman who was peddling from a

for her deal, apart from full value

The seven days from December &c
to January Bird have been the busiest
our subscription department has ever
known. The subscription income
during this period was nearly $1,000.
We are sure no weekly paper
in Somerset County has ever pre-
viously had a like experience and it
is quite probable that no country
a seven day period like il.
The days around the first of the
year are apt to be little buster than
other periods. so far as subscriptions
are concerned The results above
noted, however, came about doubtless
largely through renewals which were
made by subscribers who wished to
take advantage of the old rate before
the change was made to $500.
Among the transactions. however.
We are receiving much more than the
usual number of new subscribers
which, of course. beginning January
LIST. were at $500 year.
The history of the week just referr-
cd to is exceedingly gratifying and
the source of much encouragement
We have striven faithfully 10 produce
superior community weekly.
Friendly comment has often been TO
the effect that we were doing So
The seven day period above referred
to, however, is the most convincing
and satisfactory evidence that our
work has proven acceptable. We be-
lieye Skowhegan to be entitled to the
best of everything. 1t is a town
which ought to have the best country

that the Reporter answers that des-
cription. We wish TO register the
earnest assurance that nothing will
be overlooked or left undone possible
in his day and generation.
