Bad Year for Scottish Farmers.

1t is difficult to estimate the total loss
on the Scottish grain crop of this season,
but if we put the deterioration at the
quite moderate figure of f2 an acre for
80 per cent. of the lands under crop, the
total is sum considerably over f2,O00,-

WATERPROOFING MATCHES.
Simple Method That May Be of Use to
Campers.

Perhaps some of your readers would
be interested to know that / have found
a simple, inexpensive way to water
proof matches.
Into some melted paraffin (care being
taken that it was as cool as possible) l
dipped a few ordinary parlor matches.
After withdrawing them and allowing
them to cool it was found that they
scratched almost as easily as before be-
ling coated with the wax. Several were
held under water for six or seven hours
land all of them lighted as easily as be-
fore immersion. When the match is
scratched the paraffin is first rubbed off
and the match lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips, as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing is required to light
them than the ordinary match, it would
be practically impossible to set them on
fire by accidental dropping. - Scientific

For Represe ntatiye.

The requisite number Of petitions
having been filed to place my name
On the primary ticket as a candidate
for the nomination for representative,
subject to the decision of the Demo-
cratic voters at the general primary,
/ herewith wish to make short
statement of some of the things /
will endeavor to have done, and will
stand for,,- in case I should receive
the nomination and be elected.
LIST. A strict, fair, bank deposit
guarantee law. One that will protect
the depositors and at the same time
work no hardship in any honest bank
ing institution.
End. An amendment of the primary
election law providing for the nomi-
nation of candidates for United States
Senator by a direct vote of the peo-
pie, instead of a plurality of legisla-
tive and senatorial districts.
9rd. An amendment to the primary
election law whereby candidates for
county officers for a certain fee to
have their names certified to the
county clerk as candidate for a NOM
ination for certain office, thus dis
pensing with the circulating of petit
lions by county candidates.
4th. An amendment to the primary
election law abolishing the same in.
solar as it relates to nomination of
township officers and precinct com.
mitteemen.
9Th. An amendment to the primary
election law which will permit any
voter to express his views and par.
ticipate in the selection of candidates
without being a strict party adherent.
As the law now stands the indepen.
dent voter is absolutely DISTINGUISHED
9Th. Amending the tax law which
will make all classes of property pay
their just proportion, and not shout
der the burden of taxation onto the
farmer.
9TH. Amending the tax law so that
the tax commissioners, the county as
SCISSORS, and the deputy county asses
sors shall all be elected by the people
9Th. Such action as will tend to co
operate with other states and bring
about the election of United States
senators anda II other officials of the
government, by a direct vote of the
people.
9Th. Such legislation as will tend
to regulate the operations of all cor.
porations in the interest of those they
serve, and at the same time give
them a just and reasonable compen-
sation for their services.
The emoluments of the office of
representative being barely Sufficient
to pay expenses while attending the
sessions of the legislature, therefore,
l do not feel in justice to myself that
l should make an active campaign for
the nomination. If the Democrats Of
this county honor me with the nomi-
nation for this important office, and
the people of this county see fit to
elect me, shall do my best to serve
them with honor and credit to the
county. No one can do any more; no
one should do any less.
