Candidate for the Rep.blicsn Nori-
nation for United States Sena-
stor August 29th.

William H. Hill, of Detroit, who
has tossed his hat into the ring for
the nomination for United States
Senator from Michigan on the Re-
publican ticket. has a political mes
sage for the people that il would be
we'll to heed.
Mr.. Hills long experience in the
administration of large business at
fairs has given him a new conception
OF the viewpoint and the duties OF
Office.
A close study OF government af-
fairs has convinced him that there is
but one course TO pursue in a Fed
eral Office That is, to base every act
on the fact that running a govern
ment is a business proposition for
business men OF experience and judg-
ment
He believes that the government OF
the United States should be regarded
as great corporation in which the
l00,000000 people of this country are
the stockholders; and that the Senate
and the House of Representatives con
stitute the Board of Directors" OF
this corporation.
He believes that the members OF
the board" should represent all the
people all the time and not a favored
few; and that the people should al
ways be able 10 tell where their "di-
rectors" stand.
He asked: Have the people OF
Michigan, the past few years, been
able TO tell where their senators stood.
or where to find theml"
Mr.. Hill is well fitted for the Office
n nd 80
Of its duties. Years of arduous train
ing in the business world, wide travel
in this and foreign countries and close
study OF history and government have
given him exceptional equipment for
the task. Thirty-one years OF his life
have been spent in Detroit where he
is successful manufacturing drug
gist, conducting one OF the largest
concerns OF its kind in the country.
A Good Platform to Stand Onto
Act On.
Here are the all-inclusiye and pro-
gressive principles on which William
II. Hill is basing his campaign:
1000 Americanism and national Sc
curity.
Improvement OF labor conditions.
Protection of women and children.
(OHo'i VI
A stable foundation for honorable
enterprise.
Rescuing commerce from uncer-
taiHty.
Establishing non-psriisan tariff
commission whose work shall be con
Quoted on scientific and efficient lines.
Mr.. Hill urges you TO come out at
the primaries August 2oth. 1t is only
by exercising your privileges at the
Primaries that you can secure new
deal. Put an X before the name OF
William ii. Hill August 29th.

Oat yields in Ohio can I'm most cases
be increased at least 3 per cent If farm.
ers treat their seed oats for smut. Is
the opinion OF j. G.. Humbert, assistant
Sotanist at the Ohio agricultural exper-
iment station. Because of the unusu.
ally wet season last year many farm
ers secured increased yields OF 10 TO 20
per cent by spending few hours in
treating their seed Just previous TO
planting time. In all tests the results
at the experiment station show that
the increase in yielG has paid the farm
er well for time so spent.
One pint Of 40 per cent formaldehyde.
or so called formalin, to forty gallons
OF water is recommended for forty to
forty-hve bushels of grain. The oats
are spread on canvas or clean floor
and moistened thoroughly with the
liquid. Any sprinkler may be used
while the oats are shoveled over. Aft
er being covered with n blanket over
night the grain Is spread out and SHOW
eled over frequently until dry enough

rURNIP RAPE PLANT THAT HAS GONE TO
SEED.
farm where II Is used, but In gathered
together from all parts OF the world by
wholesale seedsmen. The farmer is told
little about the place OF origin and
very often less about the quality of the
seed which he purchases. Practically
nation that he needs for his own pro-
lection is through seed testing.
Seed testing helps the FARMER, first,
by telling him what proportion Of the
seed he is buying is alive, Of what
kinds II consists and how many weed
seeds II contains, and, second, by fur
nishing the means OF discovering and
putting stop to the sale or adurtefaS-
ed and low grade seeds. IN this con
nect1on the article already mentioned
points out that when the United States
department OF agriculture beean 10
make analyses Of different lots Of seed
and to publish the results. a marksd
decrease in the adulteration Of each
particular kind of sesd followed ths
next season. The temptation. how
ever, TO adulterate seed Is great, for
large profits frequently can be obtain
Cd by tho substitution OF one variety
for another. During the spring Of 1915,
for example. II per cent Of timothy
was introduced into a carload Of seed
sold as redtop II meant proflt OF 80
to 300 10 the seller. Over 100 lots OF
redtop examined by the department
were found IN contain an average IL
per cent Of timothy seed.
Such instances as this indicate the
necessity OF seed testing This alone
will give the retail scotsman accu-
rate information about the seeds he is
selling and make IL possible for him to
conduct his business with intelligent
interest It is suggested, however.
that II will be more practical and eco
for seeds to be tested as far
as possible In large lots while In the
hands OF the wholesale dealer, copy
Of the analysis accompanying each sale
as guaranty OF quality. Tn this way
the labor and expense OF testing each
small lot OF seed will be avoided. and
the purchaser will at the same time
have accurate Information as 10 the
agricultural value OF the seed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o.-when police
men OF the West Thirty.seventh street
station were making bright the
sduaid homes OF their precinct on
Christmas Day by distributing arm
fuls of food. candy, clothing, and toys.
they was one home at least that they
overlook ed--right next door to tho
station house.
In two tiny dark rooms lived James
stevens. his wife, Minnie. and three
chiidren--thrsc years, one and one
half years, and six weeks. stevens IL
a truck driver, employed three OF four
days a week. He pays So n week for
the rooms. and what Is left out OF hts
wages hasn't been enough to buy
proper food for his family and heat
his home.
The policemen learned OF this home
yesterday-learned IL when IL was too
late To do anything for one member Of
the family. the baby. a little girl.
The child had been aiiing because
OF lack OF proper food for the mother
and lack OF medicine for herself She
became so III last night that Mrs. ste
vens rushed from tho house with her
To drug store and implored the drug
gist TO do something for the child.
DIR. Barnwell came from New York
Hospital. and while tho mother almost

the baby. the tiny life hickered out iD
spite OF tho phyRician's efforts.
Then came Policeman T'ghc, VINO

followed Mrs. stevens with IL TO her
home. lie placed his burden ON tn"
bed. and the two other children played
around II with no realization OF what
IL wns.
Mrs. stevens could not pay the cost
OF burial, so finally came the morguo
wagon to take the body away. Mean
time the policemen OF the station
house next door were dropping In and
learning her story. when they asked
why she had not come To their Christ
mas party she said she was ashamed.
that many OF the policemen know her
BY sight. and she didn't want them u
know the poverty against which 81"
