On January Is and IL will occur
the 18th annual meeting OF the Geor-
gia Dairy and Live Stock association
at the State College OF Agricultura,
Athens. Ga. High priced labor high
priced feeding stuffs, high priced fer

creating an interest In farm opera
tons Of new type. There was never
time in the history Of the state
when more farmers were making a
beginning in the breeding and feed
ing OF live stock. With the program
that has been prepared. no man can
attend this meeting without receiv-
ing valuable suggestions which he can
put into practice when he returns TO
his farm.

The work of tick eradication has
been prosecuted successfully during
the past year. Since a profitable
dairy or beef industry is impossible
80 long as the tick is sharing profits
with the stockmen, the subject has
been given prominence on the pro-
gram. The discussion will be led by
farmer who suffered losses from
ticks for a number of years, who Grad
icated them at an insignificant cost
and who now is receiving greater divi-
bends from his live stock than in the

GERMANS CAST BALLOTS
TO NAME new REICHSTAG
Heavy Vote Being PoIIed
Throughout Empire in Big
Political Battle

BERLIN. Jan. 12.-voting through
out the empire for election of men,
bers of the Reichstag began at 10
o'clock this morning. Conditions are
conducive to an active, participation in
the polling and up to. noon heavy
vote was generally reported.
In Berlin the voters are distributed
among ss4 voting precincts. Neverthe-
less, detachments OF troops belonging
to the garrison are held in readiness
in all the barracks and special arrange-
ments have been made for guarding
the royal palace The precautions
which have been taken are mainly de
signed to cope with possible Socialist
demonstrations.
Emperor William is to be- informed
OF the returns in his palace at Pots
dam.
The interest in the elections in Ber-
lin is largely concentrated on the So
called ministerial precinct" in the
center of the city, where Imperial
Chancellor Won -Hollweg and
most of other ministers have their
names on the voting registers.
DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg appeared
In the wilhelm Strasse, where his PAL
ace is situated, shortly before half past
eleven. He went on foot from his pal
ace TO the polling booth which was
erected in an old-fashioned wine restau-
rant nearby. On his. arrival he had TO
pass through a swarm OF photogra-
piers and reporters, while outside the
doors was a crowd Of distributors Of
balloting papers, whom he brushed
aside. rejecting Thea proffered papers.
Agents for the various candidates,
who include the Socialist newspaper
writer, Duewell, the radical sitting
member, Kaempf. the Democrat and
noted writer. Colonel Gaedke, all offer
ed papers to the chancellor.
The imperial chancellor with his bal
lot paper in his pocket spent less than
minute an the polling booth and at
the election board where he had TO
prove his identity in the required form.
Some OF the other ministers were less
fortunate than the chancellor. They
had to wait their turn in several In
stances among crowd OF workmen and
general laborers. sr
The fight in the district OF middle
Berlin, where the chancellor cast mis-
vote, is a particularly hot one.
The present representative is the
Radical Johannes Kaempf.

When you start on a rail way
journey, how mu n cha ce is there
actually. figuring by the law of
averages, that you won't reach
your destination alive? Is the
chance greater or less than ten or

Some genius for figures recently
showed from the 1899 statistics
gotten out by the interstate
commerce commission that on the
average a passenger on the rail
ways of the United States could
travel 1000 times the distance
around the world without being
killed. Stating the matter in ar
another way, he coull travel sixty

OUR GREENBACK FACTORY

One of the most interesting

the hundreds of thousands of
strangers who yearly visit Wash
ington is the bureau of engraving
and printing, where the govern
nent turns out i'm nense amounts
of the paper mohey which we daily
see in circulation.
Much of this paper money
greenbacks and gold and silver
certificates is issued directly Shy
the government itself while the
remainder is prepared for issue
by the national banks throughout
the country. These issues are
printed from engraved steel
plates of the finest workmanship
on a peculiar distinctive paper,
which, is it said, counterfeiters
have never yet been able to initiate.
This establishment also produces
government bonds whenever there
is a call for such. In addition
postage stamps are manufactured
there in vast quantities, recently
at the rate of 80, 600, 900 a day or
about 100, 600. 900 per year. This
aggregate bids fair to increase
annually and in time to reach huge
proportions.
While the products Of the
bureau are interesting the
