Growers Urged To Disinfest All Used Potato Bags In order to prevent the fur- ther spread of Bacterial Ring Rot disease potato growers are urged lo disinfect all used pota- to bags before they are again allowed to come in contact with potatoes, says R. E. Goodin, Pieldman, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontairo EXepartment of Agriculture. Bags sihould be soaked for two hours in a tolution containing one pint formalin in' forty gallons of water. These may afterwards be quickly dried at this lime of year by spreading out over the grass or hanging over'a fence. Anotlier method used by some potato growers is by using a hand sprayer and a tolution containing one pint formalin with one p nt water. This solution is sprayed on about every fourth or fifth bag in the pile, after which the en- lire pile of bags is left covered overnight with a heavy blanket or tarpaulin. Potato growers may avoid heavy losses by using every pre- caution lo keep Bacterial Ring Rot disease away from their premises.

He tells of fighting with a beachcomber, whom Christine knows to be her late cousin's butler. Christine finds a dagger hidden in the wall. She wishes she had not given the in- spector a false name, hopes to talk to him alone. CHAPTER VIII Christine .waited uncomfortably while the inspector gave some final instructions to his subordinates. But before she had an opportunity of speaking to him, the car in which she was to be driven to headquarters drove up, and a uni- formed man hurried her into it. Later, on the way upstairs to the office, she heard the sergeant's voice behind her â€" low, but the imagined, intentionally audible: "Pretty neat. Inspector â€" that girl's being the first to touch that knife â€" if her own fingerprints were already all over it." ".^nd Yardley's being down around that boat with that beach- comber, if you aAk me," the in- spector agreed. "Well, I'm expect- ing some dope about both of them any moment." Christine, who was a "who-done- it" fan, and thought she knew all about police psychology, said to herself, "They're staging this for my benefit. I won't let them scare me." * * • Xevcrtlieless, she must have looked pale under the brilliant lights of the office, for no sooner were they all seated than the in- spector said to an officer at his elbow, "Get the young lady a drink. She looks sick." Christine took the water grate- fully. Meantime another subordinate hurried in and put an envelope on the desk. "They've found Mrs. Talbert'i car. Chief," he said in an under- tone. "Locked and parked at the «nd of the 27th street dock. The number checks at the State office." Inspector Parsons glanced through the contents of the en- velope. "Okay," he nodded. "Get one of the Amalgamated officials and check up on the rest of the stock- holders. .• . . -And wait a minute â€" •ee if any of thc«e keys open that car." He took a key holder from his pocket. "Now, Mr. Yardley, how long have you known Mrs. Talbert?" "After a fashion for 10 or 18 years." But â€" why, he didn't tell me this! Christine thought. "What do you mean by 'after a fashion'r" "1 met her at a horse show where I was riding. Since then I've trained several thoroughbreds for her. But I've seen her very tel- dom." "But oiien enough to borrow Di^ey c»f her?'' • • • Bill flushed angrily under hit tan. "That's a matter of record. You esn easily find out â€" " "I have already found out," the inspector cut in coldly. "The no- , tary who always witnesses her I>apers remembers the transaction. Several years ago Mrs. Talbert knt you J20,nOO. " Christine listened incredulously. "In return," Inspector Parsons went on, "for a silent partnership Va your firm â€" which, at the time, wasn't worth $10,000." "Mrs. Talbert knew that." "But which is now worth many times as much. Your agreement with Mrs. Talbert was unusual. At the death of either of you, your Joint property automatically r«- vected to the other. On your re- payiiig the loan, it reverted to you. . . , Have you repaid that loan?" "Not entirely." The Inspector swung on Mr. Wilmet. "Mr. Wilmet," he said, "you own some Amalgamated stock, 1 be- lieve?" ,. Mr. Wilmet moistened his lips. "Why, yes â€" yes, I have a few shares," he admitted. "It might be interesting to know how you voted on that merger be- tween Amalgamated and National that went through at the stock- holders' meeting yesterday.'' "Well," Mr. Wilmet said nerv- ously, "as a matter of fact. I didn't go to the meeting at all." "You didri't have to go. Some- one else could have voted your stock by proxy." "But I â€" why should they?" "Mrs. Talbert wa- interested in preventing that merger. Yet two days before the meeting, Mrs. Tal- bert's house was suddenly closed, the servants sent on vacation, and the telephone discontinued; and Mrs. Talbert, who owned enough stock to stop that merger single- handed, apparently went off some- where on a trip. I believe some of the Amalgamated stockholders might know where she went and why. . . . Now when my men found you in that drug store, about 1, you said you had been attending a show from B until after 12 o'clock. Could you prove that?" "No, sir." Mr. W'ilmet was white, but he spoke with a spirit that surprised Christine. "Why should I expect I'd have to?" • ' * • Bill Yardley moved as if to speak; but apparently thought better of it. The inspector <;ianced at him with interest; but M.. Wil- met was going on: ".^nd I must say. Inspector, that I resent your men taking away the only comfortable pair of walk- ing shoes I had. I've got bad arches, and these hurt me." Christine remembered that she had seen the little man stumble s«veral times after he had ap- peared on the Boardwalk. Novi- h* was wriggling his small feet in Kheir trim dress shoes in obvious discomfort; and he seemed about lo expand on his grievances. But die inspector cut in: "You'll get them back... By the way, Yardley, suppose you step into the next room â€" and you" â€" he indicated Jaspar. "We want a look at the shoes you're wear- ing." * * * As Bill and Jasper filed obedi- ently out, another officer slipped in and handed the inspector a re- port. "As I expected," Inspector Par- sons commented after glancing at the paper. "The only prints on that dagger are identical with those Mitt â€" Nevin, did you say the name is? â€" made on that glass •he drank from a while ago. If there were any others, someone has cleaned them olf." Christine started to say, "In- spector, my name isn't â€" " But Inspector Parsons had swung again upon Mr. Wilmet. "Now," he snapped, "suppose you tell me why you introduced this young lady as 'Miss Grace Nevin'?" "Why shouldn't I?" Mr. Wil- met's ineffectual ohin waggled truculently. "This yoimg lady told me her name was 'Miss Grace Nevin.' I naturally believed it was. I haven't any reason lo think it isn't." • ♦ ♦ "Yet an employee from the Cjrestview identified her as the young woman who registered at th* hotel as Miss Christine Thor- •nion." "I still don't believe it," Mr. Wilmet declared loudly. "I'm sorry, Mr. W'ilmet," Chris- tins said "I did give you an â€" an assumed name . , I tried to tell you Inspector." "Did you, indeed?" the inspector asked dryly. "I hadn't noticed it." "But," Mr. Wilmet persisted, "if TORN BUT EASY TO DARN Draw the edges together neatly with fishbone stitches.

"It makes just this difference â€" that it seems a singular coinci- dence that Mrs. Talbert's body should have been found in the very concession where you were paying her own cousin to work." • » * The pink face Mr. Wilmet turned upon Christine was like a spanked, disillusioned baby's. For a moment the inspector sat, studying Christine with curious attention. Finally he said, "Miss â-  Thorcnson, there was a letter in your cousin's bag â€" stamped, sealed, and addressed to you. . . Perhaps you'd better read it." He handed Christine a folded sheet of paper. "My dear Christine," the let- ter ran, "I am distressed by the repeated reports I get of your reckless extravagance. I have already warned you that unless you gave me reason to believe that you had learned something about the care of money, I should have no choice but to change my will â€" in which, as of course you know, you are named as my chief heir. I am about to take steps to make that change. Sincerely yours, Emma Talbert." When Christine looked up, she knew that her face must be as blank as her mind. (Continued Next Week) Troops Guided By 125,000,000 Invasion Maps A report made public by the United States War Department said that 125,000,000 maps had been prepared so that the invasion for- ces could "know exactly where they were going" after they landed. The making of these maps was "one of the most elaborate pro- jects of the war" and depended largely on aerial photography and "thousands of tiny pieces of infor- mation snuiggled out under the noses of the Germans," the depart- ment said. "In war, maps are as important as food; you can't travel without them," the report explained. "They have to be accurate, and, strange as if may seem, before the war, no usable maps of Europe existed." There were plenty of maps, but they were out of date. They showed roads and buildings that no longer existed, and they failed lo show many terrain features. Secret Of Invasion Weapons Well Kept The -Mlied Army of Liberation rammed Hitler's Westwall with many secret weapons in use for the first time. While not disclosing the types and actual number of these weap- ons, the British Ministry of Supply said factories had been manufactur- ing them for many months past under the greatest secrecy. Often workers themselves did not know what they were making. The weapons, many so vital they were made in small parts at widely separated plants, were brought to- gether only for final assembly. Workers in these plants were pledged to secrecy â€" and they kept the trust. Allied Troops Learn German Commands Commands in gutteral German were barked out to troops carrying Nazi weapons on English soil â€" but it was neither an enemy inva- sion nor a parody on Hitler's brok- en dreams. Instead, the troops were .A.llicd soldiers, learning against the day of invasion how to distinguish one German command from another when the fighting gets to close range, and how to put enemy weapons to use in emergencies. Shepherd Dog Acts As Guide To Raiders Night after night American Air Force and R..\.F. bombers shuttled across the Channel and unerringly bombed secret key fortifications in a small fishing village near the fUlgian city ot Ostcnd guided by the ingenious signals of natives, reveals the Belgian Kclicf Society, a nicnibir agency oi the National War I'und. The >':(iis ciaiuped down iron cui.'cws and hundreds oi soldiers conducted a nightly census o; th« inhabitants but still the raids went on without a bomb dropped jii un- important targets. One night just as .^.ilied 'jUnes neared the coast, a German .)at:rot spotted a flashlight streaking down the beach at incredible spe. I to- ward a new big gun emplaceincnt. The bombers changed iheir :oarse and just as the soldiers firei and the light dropped to the .s.uid, bombs struck the target on tha nose. Later the Germans found a Bel- gian shepherd dog, a flasiilight strapped to his back, .•'in inhabitant had let him out to niuke by aight the runs lie was trair.t4 to Jl> by dav. Many Feints Mad« Before Invasiion It can now be revealed tin' the Allies conducted a series of f?int« in advance of the invasion. These feints were predicted some time ago by Prime Minister Churchill, and were designed to con- fuse the Germans so they -.vjuld never know when the blow wa« coming.
