vote Is a word with a curious his
tory. To the Roman a "votufn" was a
solemn promise made to a deity. From
the solemn promise itself the mean
ing of "votum" gradually became the
prayer or intense wish that accompa-
MED the promise, and then any Intense
wish whatever. So far the develop
ment proceeded i'm Latin and vote
passed into English with the same
sense. When Ben Jonson wrote Of
public votes" TO heaven be meant not
mass meeting resolutions, but prayers.
Finally vote acquired it's present
meaning-the formal and emphatic ex-
preston of a wish; while the old sense
remains with its doublet vow"

Armstrong Commission company. left
for Niagara Falls this morning. where
as vice president he viii attend the
annual meeting of the National Appie
Growers association

taking the train. the national crop
will be larger this year than it has

before. Kansas apples this year are
