Insects as VoYagers.

Among the things that furnish
occupation for the eyes and
minds Of transatlantic voyagers
are the housetlies which accom-
pany the great steamships from
one side of the ocean to the
other In fine weather the flies
buzz cheerfully about the shell
tered places on the decks, and
when the wind blows high they
take refuge in the cabins and
saloons. The flies often remain
with the ship while in port, and
return with her on her next trip,
thus crossing the ocean several
times in succession, and perhaps
spending the entire season at
sea.

NE MBERSHIp OF FARMERS UNION
Report of State Secretary Shows
the Union to have 04,0S5
Members i'm Arkansas

shows total membership of 64,-
OS5 in the state. The following
extract from his report shows the
remarkable growth of the organi-
cation.
As to the growth of the Union
in Arkansas since my last report,
I wish to state that in that report
we only had 1888 local unions
chartered up to that time. We
now have 1882 chartered local I'M
ions on the rolls, thus making an
increase for the year of 634 local
unions, and we have also 81 coun-
fy unions and nineteen district un-
lens chartered. | estimate that
tie locals have an average mem
bership, according to their reports,
of thirtyfive each, thus making an
increase in membership for the
year of 10000. OF the 1872 To-
cal unions that have been charter
ed from the beginning of the work
In Arkansas, there are HI dead,
or else have not paid any dues for
the last six months. This will re-
duce the number of active local
unions to 1881, and with an aver
age membership of thirty-fiye this
would make the present member
ship 64,0s5. OF this number the
highest number that ] have ever
been able to collect dues from any
one quarter, was 1909. This in
cludes both chartered and unchar-
tered unions. There are some
sixty-odd local unions that have
been organized that make reports,
but have not yet been chartered.
From the most correct data that |
have there have been some $4,000
limitations in the state since the
work started. y
FINANCIAL CONDITION GOOD
The financial report showed the
total amount collected during the
year to have been SO, 313.33, the
total disbursements IS, 1864. A
loan of $1,000 was made to the
National Executive Committee,
leaving a cash balance in the treas.
ury of 81, 607 40.
Practically all the business of
the convention was crowded into
the last day, as the first two days
were taken up largely with the
preliminary organization and the
reports of officers. The last days
session was executive and most of
the business was of such nature
as to demand secrecy.
SELL DIRECT TO sPINNERs
The most important matter TAX
en- up was the question of estab-
fishing a state central cotton office
at Little Rock in charge of one or
more state agents. This was pro-
posed with a view to enabling the
planters to act in concert and dis
pose of their cotton in large guam
titles direct to the spinners. 1t
was contended that this would en-
able the planters to receive much
better prices. The question was
discussed at length, and the sense
of the convention seemed to be
that such an office should be estab.
lished. Final action was not TAX
en- on the matter by the conven-
ton, but resolution recommend
ing the establishment of such an
Office and the appointment of
states sales or business agents was
referred to the executive commit
tee with power to act 1t is ex-
pected that in view of the senti-
ments expressed by the delegates
the committee will proceed to es-
tablish the office and appoint
agents to take charge of the bus
