WOMAN TO TEST SEEDS
Specially Appointed to Enforce Their
Purity

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 12.-The prin.
ciple of the pure food law has been
extended to seeds in the state of
Washington. Laws have been passed
making 1t imperative that seeds Of
fered for sale shall be so labeled as
to indicate the percentage of purity;
and the dealer who mixes Canadian
blue grass with the simon pure Ken
lucky article, or sweet clover or ire
foil, with red clover or alfalfa, will
have to pay heavy penalties.
The farmers and dealers who pur-
chase seeds may know whether or
not these laws have been complied
with, a woman has been assigned to
test all samples of seed sent to her.
This woman is Miss Louise M. Allen,
A. M, and her position with regard
to seeds is good deal like that or
DR.. Wiley in regard to food.
Miss Allen will test and report
without expense on all samples sent
by farmers to the state department.
Dealers, however, will have to pay a
nominal charge.
During June and July Miss Allen
visited seed dealers in various parts
of the state, looking over what they
had in stock, and giving them sug-
gestions for obtaining better grades
for fall stock. A per cent of all SAM
pies of alfalfa and red clover con-
tanned dodder. This is one of the
worst seed pests known. 1t is par
asite, making no root structure or
its own, but sapping the strength as
nourishment from the plant upon
which 1t grows. 1t spreads rapidly
and finally chokes out a crop.
In Oregon, last year, A per cent or
all alfalfa samples examined contain
ed dodder. Most red clover was con-
taminated by the pest

TAYLOR FOR GOVERNOR

State Auditor Taylor seems to be
the most available man for the CUB
ernatorial honors from a Republican
standpoint since Judge Ailshie and
other prominent aspirants have lai0
down. During the past ten months
Mr.. Taylor has served the people OF
Idaho truely, honestly and faithfully
as state auditor, giving the office his
personal attention. He is capable
man and the man for the people.
Mr.. Taylor is native of Wiscon-
sin and was born near Monsfort on
farm in 1868. After receiving a
common country school education he
went to the Amity (1owa) college,
from which he graduated. He took
up the newspaper profession having
entered print shop at Maryville,
Mo-, where he learned the trade. He
came to Idaho in 1888, where he
made his home, owning and editing
the Boomers Ferry Herald for 10
years.
His first appearance in public life
was as a member of the legislature
in 1907 where he accomplished splen-
did results for his constituents. He
has been lifelong servant of the
Republican party and is now entitled
to the highest honors within the gift
of Idaho Republicans-Ex.

Dr.. Wiley Comments Cotton Oil

For over quarter Of century DR..
Wiley, the famous government expert,
has conducted an active campaign for
pure food in the interest of public health.
His advocacy in a recent speech of the
use of Cotton Oil as a food is, there
fore, especially significant; it simply en-
phasizes the wholesomeness of Cotto-
lene-the vegetable oil shortening
which is composed so essentially of Cot
ton Oil, the use of which he so strongly
recommends. Cottolene is endorsed
by physicians generally, because of its
purity and wholesomeness. 1t has been
the leader in Cotton Oil products for
over twenty-five years.

SOME FRESH DOPE E.
IHzzzzzEN't

1t appears that some disappoint-
ments coupled with the billing of
long distance races have caused in
terest In running events to wane in
this city. This kind of sport proved
a big attraction last winter and the
early part OF the present season I'M
til a short time ago when Illness of
runners made two contests uninter-
esting. The Auditorium manage
ment has always loathed to put ON q
woman match far faax@that~one OF
them would drop out because of iii
ness Or an accident. ~ wAA triAs

been the biSg-staf - q g
sesson. one 81 rouresrahrs
came i'll. FoTfowfng came long dts
lance races and their decided UNI
popularity has added to the distrac-
ton of interest. 1t seems as though
1t will be some time before n
more races, especially long distance
ones, are attempted. The sport will
most likely be given a rest.
The basketball game In Kemper's
ball, Newark, Sunday afternoon, in
which the Ironsides defeated the
Nationals, was exceedingly rough
according to local spectators. Brug-
gy, the crack forward of the Column
bia Five, which plays weekly in the
Auditorium, was put out of the
game for roughness. Litz, who has
appeared in this city on the King
wood Wanderer and All Star teams,
also played with the Ironsides on
that occasion.
AS winter hastens by there comes
more talk about baseball. While
much Is being said about the big
leagues starting work, there is
plenty of talk going on right here In
this city about what sort of baseball
attraction we shall have next sea-
son. From across the Raritan river
comes talk of q county baseball
league. Such q proposition will
probably be agreeable to teams In
this city and vicinity but there is
New Brunswick to contend with.
