The Old Roman Ballot.

The ballot was first introduced into
Rome in the second century B. q.
This was the real Australian ballot.
The voter received a sort of wooden
slate covered with wax on which the
names Of oil the candidates were
scratched. He made holes in the wax
opposite those Of his choice and
dropped his tablet in the box. After
the downfall Of the Roman republic
popular government took long sleep,
and there was little use for ballot
till quite modern times.

origin Of Appendicitis.

Appendicitis is caused in most cases by
indigestion. The undigested food irrita-
ties the intestines. The appendix becomes
infamed which soon becomes chronic.
Finally suppuration sets in, pus cavity
Is formed and an acute attack of append
icitis results. To prevent attacks of this
fatal disease cure your indigestion with
Rydale's Stomach Tablets. They will
make the whole alimentary canal healthy
from the stomach to the lower bowels.
No danger of attacks Of appendicitis if
the intestines are normal and healthy.
Rydale's Stomach Tablets will keep
them so. Chas. A. Searles & Co.

RADIO at respectful distance In the
race for second place. Michigan has
the same number Of factories as Colo
RADIO, but their product is considerably
smaller. California has only nine
plants, but some Of the latter are very
large. From year to year the produc-
ton of sugar is about the same in the
two states.
Utah has FIVE factories, and they are
strong producers. Idaho and Wiscon.
sin follow with four each, and there
are ten states with one factory each.
The most eastern factory is that at
Lyons. N. Y. Hamilton City, Cal, has
the most western factory. Los Alami-
los, Cal, the most southern and Bill
tings, Mont, the most northern.
The largest factory In the United
States and one Of the largest in the
world Is the one at Spreckels. Cal,
which is able to slice 5000 tons Of
beets in day. or hundred carloads

FARMERS UNION A FACT.

billion and Half Members Work To-
gether to Control Prices Of Products.
The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America now has
membership of 100000 In the twenty
four states where 1t is organized. One
Of the objects Of the union Is to rush
the construction Of elevators in time
for the handling of the wheat crop Of
1909 when 1t is thrashed. The organi-
cation is the outcome of project sug-
rested by Texas schoolteacher.
All the southern states have union
organizations, as have Missouri, ILL
nois, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and
Washington. Two great crops, cotton
and wheat, have received the attention
Of the union up to date. But this will
not be the limit of the organizations
activity in the future, the members
assert.
It Is the object Of the union to make
standard" prices for everything raised
on American farms, from a bale of
cotton to a dozen eggs. AS yet, how
ever, there has been no scale Of prices
fixed to cover the whole list. That is
a matter to be worked out by each
state organization. There is mini
mum and maximum price for wheat,
the 80 called "fair' or standard"
price for that grain being dollar
bushel.
1t is the purpose Of the union to have
elevators to store grain in, to be
sold at such time and for such prices
as the local may think best, provided
that none be sold below the minimum
price and that none be held for more
than the maximum price. All sales are
conducted through the business agents,
the union being at work to eliminate
the middleman.
This Is attempted by having the
business agent deal directly with con-
sumers, 80 each business agent has a
list Of mills and grain buyers who
want the actual grain for manufactur-
ing or feeding purposes, and he keeps
In touch with them by correspondence.
Each local has business agent, and
there is one for each state and a ma
tional business agent,
A farmer who needs cash after put
ting his wheat in a union elevator is
tided over his "tight place. by brother
members Of the union who are better
fixed than he. The same sort Of sys-
tenn is In operation In the southern
states, where cotton instead Of wheat
Is the great staple crop. The elevators
and cotton warehouses are stock con-
Germs, the par value of each share of
stock being fixed by the local which
erects the elevator, but the fact that a
member holds stock In the unions en-
terprise does not give him any more
extensive privileges In the organize
ton or In the handling Of his grain.
The association Is affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor.
Though 1t is not real branch Of that
organization, there exists between the
two what Is known as a fraternal un-
Outstanding.
The union operates several banks.
The charter Of the national union was
issued by Texas, giving 1t authority to
charter branches anywhere and en-
gage in any business practically. A
few union cooperative stores are in
existence. Country girls more than
sixteen years old and farmers wives
are admitted to honorary membership.
The locals meet twice a month, and
the social features are by no means
the least important In the union.
