1942 already tagged an "emoticjal year." That means that emotions rather than reason may dictate the outcome at the polls. If this trend continues, it will favor Radio Orator, Gerald Smith, lieutenant the late Huey Long, as against Elton It. Eaton and Judge Homer Ferguson for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate. HARRY P. KELLY, secretary of state, will wage a vigorous campaign after the September pirtnary.

For the first time in many moons there is no contest the Republican nomination to the governorship. But that isn't any sig of inactivity or disinterest. Both Van Wagoner and Kelly are shying away from an all-out stand on the home rule and constitutional convention ballots. The governor's Detroit support centered around the cuorthouse organization which would lie adversely affected by the proposed home rule.

Sugar formed In plants through a process of photosynthesis, which is illustrated in the case ot the sugar beet la the accompanying plcto- gram.

In this process, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil are combined within the plant through the agency of green pigment known as chlorophyt, in the presence ot light. For that reason sugar is often called "crystal- rlixefl sunshine and water."
