phrase FIRST named is used in this
last sense in the statute in question
Buck against Barnes, rs Connecticut
reports, page $50. has this to say of the
statute;
'Thls Statute recognizes grade OF
rank among sslectfnen called first Sc
leetman. as it had long existed, and
reduces to definite certainty the Gus
tonlary rule for designating from the
selectfnen chosen the one who should
he FIRST selsIthiali.
III sto be noted that, in placing the
name of a candidate for selectn1an first
on the ballot which he casts, an eleetor
does not vote for first selectman. He
simply indicates a preference, which
the law will regard. III designating
that Chs Of the seiectmsn chosen who
shall act as first selectman. His bal
lot is counted in the election of select
men. but in the designation of first
selectman it cannot be counted for any
purpose unless his favorite is among
those chosen for selectman. And SO it
may happen as 1t did in ths present
case, that a plurality of voters ma
thus indicate their preference for one
to be first selectman. and yet another.
for whom a less number of voters have
so expressed their preference. be dss-
ignateti for that place.
This is not in any strict sense, an
election by the electors. 1t is the APP
isnatingf from the ee1eetmeh chosen.
che to be first seleetman.'
In the case of Buck against Barnes,
a New Milford case, ASS ballots were
cast on which Buck was voted for for
selectman and 4S6 ballots were cast,
on which Barnes was voted for for Sc
lectfhah. Buck Was the first named on
the democratic ticket and Barnes Mas
the first named on the republican
ticket. Buck was declared by the court
to be the first seIectman. Richmond
the second named on the democratic
ticket. got 494 votes. Pomeroy, the
second named on the republican ticket
got SOC There was no question but
that the question of being first select
man lay between Buck and Barnes
as neither of the two other men were
first named. On 4Sas of his ballots
Bucks name stood first in order, and
on s of his ballots 1t stood second in
order As for Barnes. on As OF his
ballots his name stood first in order
and on one of his ballots it stood see
ond in order, Barnes claimed that be
should be first selectman having AS
instances OF his name being first In
order as compared with $50 instances
of Bucks name being first In order
The court decided that the plurality
of ballots being in favor of Buck he
having his name on 4SS ballots, Buck
was the man the statute intended foI
first selectman.

FROM LEVITICUS $50.

This is the time of the year when the
railroad companies of the country re-
ceive numerous unexpected Christmas
presents and revenues in the form Of
Conscience Funds" The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway with its
Headquarters in Topeka is receiving
such funds at this time-funds that are
liable to come any day from any
source and contain any amount Of
money.
Men who have cheated the company
out of railroad fare. who have caught
free rides on the freight and passenger
trains. who have misused passes and
who have stolen property from railroad
premises-al1 of them are reminded of
their sins when they obtain religion
and the Conscience Fund is the re-
suit.
The old slogan adopted many years
ago by the public-"Get all you can out
of the railroad because they get all
they can out of you,'' seemed to take"
too seriously with many men and they
have written scores of letters to the
officials of the road in Topeka.
The following letters are an example
Of what the officials are receiving this
time of the year:

FRUIT men HERE.
III. p. Gould of Department of
Agriculture Speaks Tonight.
Gov. Stubs Delivers the Ad-
dress of Welcome.

Over one hundred fruit growers
from different sections of the state are
here this week in attendance at the
sessions of the forty-fourth annual
convention of the State Horticultural
society being held in representative
hell in the statehouse. H. P. Gould
of the United States department of
agriculture will give an illustrated lee
ture at the session tonight on Meth
DDS of Orchard Management" and j.
M. Irvine, editor of the St. Joseph
Fruit Grower, will also give an illus
trated lecture on Pruning There
will be a musical program in connec-
ton with the night session.
Reports of officers and com mittees
were read at the morning session to-
day, and James Sharpe of Council
Grove, Richard H. Sullivan of Wich-
tia, w. D. Maxwell of st. Joseph, Mo-,
and George c.. Richardson of Tonga
noxie were on the program today and
read interesting papers on fruit cul-
ture.
The feature of the opening session
was the paper by w. R. Martin, secre-
tary of the Wathena Fruit Growers
association. Secretary Martin said in
part:
''rhe fruit growers who are mem
bers of the association are paid what
is known as a platform price, or the
local market price for the small fruit
each day. All net profits beyond the
of fruit are prorated among the mem
bers of the association selling that
kind of fruit. Losses are borne the
same way.
This year Wathena shipped ap-
proximately 10000 cases, or about 100
carloads, of strawberries For the
last two years our raspberries have
been practically failure, caused by
disease. This. year the loss from
this cause was not so great and the
prospects for crop the coming season
look exceptionally bright. Our asso-
citation only handled about $500 cases
of raspberries this year, whereas in
former years we shipped from 5000 to
10, 900 cases.
Twenty thousand cases will cover
all the blackberries shipped from
Wathena in 1910. Wathena this year
shipped $4,000 eight-pound baskets of
grapes, $4,000 being handled by our
association. The peach crop was light
this year and there was a ready mar
ket. Without taking into consideration
cherries, gooseberries, currents and
plums. Wathena shipped this year
$500 crates of small fruit, of the
approximate value of $135,280. Wath-
ena this year shipped 326 cars of ap-
pies of the value of about S143.440,
making the total value of all kinds of
Wathena fruit thissyear $28S.6 TO-"
