How is the President Of the United

why do we not vote for the Pres.
ident direct and lhsve our votes

Following a Presidential election the
electoral COLLEGE, which consists of an
elector for each representative q state
may have at the national CONGRESS (both
branches), meets and elects q President
and Vice President Of the United States.
At their meeting no organization is re.
quired, but it is customary to ortanize
and elect chairman. For instance,
Colorado has FIVE representatives. in both
houses of the national conSress; If the
state goes Democratic At . Presidential
election, the FIVE Democratic electors
whose names appeared on the General
ballot will attend the meeting Of the elec.
toral college and cast their ballots for
the Democratic nominee. Therefore an
elector is in reality 9 register for the al

solemn tacit pledge to act only As such.
A direct popular vote for President,
seemingly an ideal plan, would be liable
to serious results, especially where the
party vote was close in localities where
law and order are lightly regarded. On
the second Wednesday in February fol.
lowing the meeting of the electoral col
leke, in the Representative Hall, and in
the presence Of both houses Of congress
assembled, the president of the senate
opens and counts the state returns, and

SAVED FROM RUIN
Undermining of Winchester Cath

For Many Years the Historic Building
Has Been Cracking, Bullying and
Settling, Threatening to Col
lapse Completely.

London. After a period Of eight
centuries, Winchester cathedral now
rests on a solid and immovable foun-
dation, saved from threatened ruin.
Almost every day in the last few years
the movements OF a diver In regula-
ton dress have been watched with GU
rlous interest as he entered or emerg-
ed from the water beneath the founda.
tions Of the cathedral. He was at
work helping to save from ruin one Of
England's noblest historic buildings,
and the successful issue Of the under
taking has been celebrated by a
thanksgiving service in the cathedral.
For several years the dean and chap
ter Of Winchester had been watching
omlnous signs, such as cracks, bulg-
ings and settlements, sure harblngers
Of q collapse Of the cathedral. From
the interior daylight could be seen
through the cracks; the latter grew
ever wider and wider. The walls on
the south side and the Norman tran.
sopts, unequaled for their majestic
simplicity, were riyen In all directions.
The massive masonry Of the Norman
builders had from the beginning
proved too ponderous for the watery
compressible soil which forms the
foundation.
The first hole dug into the founda-
tions revealed the cause Of the whole
troube-water-a acting on expert
advice holes were dug in sections
through the top soil and chalk and far
through the peat, Then 1t was the
work Of the diver in his usual diving
dress to enter the hole, remove further
layers Of peat 30 as to allow the water
to rise into the cavity, and then to 10y

ter from sinking back into the gravel.
After the imprisoned water had been
removed by pumping the cavity was

Cooperation among farmers has
made less headway in the United
states than in other countries, The
two chief examples OF It's success here
are tho fruit trade Of California and
the cooperative creamerios, Of which
some 1900 are IN operation at the

sonal knowledge there Is only one
farmers cooperative egg.marketlng
association in existence In the United

more from u desire to adhere to prln'

About one.half the egg business OF
Denmark Is handled by cooperative
ogg.oxport societies, which proves
that gucA n method Of egg marketing
can bo successfully carried on, The

handled BY private dealers who arc

When a man makes politics his pro-

If a man would lead a contented
life, he must keep on the best Of terms
with his stomach, his conscience and

MUCH WASTE IS ELIMINATED
Cooperation Among Fruit Growers Of
California Saves Much Of Crop
and Reduces Price.

OF all foods, fruit is the most nat
ural, wholesome and refined, The ap-
peal it makes is not alone to appetite,
but to taste, smell and the sense OF
beauty as well. One would imagine,
then, that fruit should be Of all things
the easiest to market, and therefore
the most profitable to cultivate.
That the real conditions should any
where be the reverse Of this affords
one Of the most striking Illustrations
of the fact that present methods OF
collecting and distributing the prod
ucts of the soil are-except in Few
instances Of recent improvement-al'
together askew and out Of harmony
with common sense.
Every year while in the centers OF
population fruit Of all kinds com
mands enormous prices, millions or
dollars worth perish on the farms
where grown.
BY that by cooperative endeaVor,
all difficulties may be overcome, and
fruit brought within the reach Of con-
sumers at prices which the multitude
can afford, and yet high enough to
yield good returns to the grower, Is
being demonstrated by the successes
attending the operations OF fruit
growers associations already organ
ized
Conspicuous among these Is the
California Fruit Growers Exchange
(formed twenty-three years ago.
which now represents 5000 growers
and which handles GO per cent Of the
citrus fruits grown IN California, and
handles It in such a way that both
waste at home and over-stocked mar
kets at the points Of distribution are
alike practically eliminated.
Smaller but similar associations
handle about 25 per cent more OF the
California crop, leaving only 10 per
cent to be marketed by individuals
The establishment Of organizations
Of similar character in the middle
west would eliminate much Of the
waste and loss which occurs annually
