EARLY GREECE HAD RECALL

Was Considered a Menace II
State and Was Exiled.

In the palmy days of the Greek re-
publics, many centuries ago, as his
torians tell us, when a man rose to
such a height of power or affiuence
that he became a possible menace to
the state. the citizens took a vote on
his case as an undesirable" says the
Christian Herald. This was sent to
the senate and, if the vote was sum
GENTLY large and representative. that
body passed a resolution in which the
too distinguished citizen was invited,
in polite diplomatic terms, TO take
few years OF retirement abroad-in
other words-he was officially eXiled
for the good of the state. This was
.ostracism," so called from the fact, 1t
is explained, that the voting citizens
wrote their names on oyster shells,
and it was instituted as a measure OF
security to the commonwealth. Any
citizen of great wealth or influence.

Mail Boxes on Street Cars.

Letter boxes on street cars may be

off the cars. The conductors are not
prohibited from taking mail from peo-

the car to stop for the purpose. one

The people in the outlying districts
are greatly benefited, as they can send

Ground Feeds Best.

POULTRY will fatten faster on ground
end cooked feeds. Ground corn and
eafs soaked in milk for twelve hours
mixes an excellent ration. Other
ulng. such as unused, cooked vege-

necessary. Good grit should be given
eece or twice a week.
ANY grains raised on the farm may

snould be ground to get the quickest
results. As rule, it doesn't pay to

history OF FARMERS UNION
Originated at Point, Tex, in 19o2-Or-
der Spread Rapidly, Reaching
Illinois In 1907.

The many inquiries coming to this
office as to the history and purposes
of this Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union, leads one to believe
that few words in this respect might
not be amiss. Ii originated at Point,
Tex, in 1902, by one Newton Ores
ham, who, noticing the poverty
stricken, mortgage ridden, credit bond
agism Of his neighbors, gathered
few of them together one night in
schoolhouse and resolved TO make an
other effort for freedom of economic
conditions. AS may be surmised, their
initial purposes were ITO control the
marketing of their prooucts; TO abolish
the credit and mortgage system; to
teach diversihcation of crops; and for
better homes through Equity. Justice
and the Golden Rule" The order
spread rapidly and reached southern
Illinois in 1907. and we now have just
reached the 500 mark in lodges.
The cheapness with which the fees
! and dues were originally established.
has been great drawback to US; as
they do not give us sufficient funds to
push the work aggressively. However,
"Hallelujah time" in any social or
| spiritual work is rarely as permanent
as the silent growth of intelligent con-
viction. and SO We are making a
steady and gratifying gain. In COM
ing into the work your correspondent
early realized the fact that to have
any power over the marketing and the
price of product presupposes a guam
tity OF that product sufficient to at

Last Works Of Great Composers.

1t is curious how the great COM
posers of opera have turned their at
tention to religion at the end Of their
careers. The last work of Wagner,
"Parsifal," though a music drama,
is a work of decidedly religious I'M
port. Mozart's last, and perhaps
greatest work was Requiem" Verdi
also completed his career as a com
poser by writing a Requiem" of mar
velous beauty. Even the frivolous
Rossini turned his attention to reli
gious matters, and his last work was
the "Stabat Mater"

MUNICIPAL CHRISTMAS TREE.

The municipal Christmas tree
was held in New York city last year
There appeared in Madison Square
park last Christmas eve, huge tree
which stood seventy feet above the
ground, it was covered with thous
ands of many-colored electric lights
and on the very top great star Of
pure white light shone forth. Taere
were carols and choruses, and the
band played every night from Christ
mas Eve until New Years night and
the tree was lighted from sun set un-
til dawn.
And there that glorious tree stood
on New York's busiest thoroughfare
at the busies. season of tne year
where tens of thousands of people
could enjoy its splendor and hear
the music.
AS the lights cleaned forth and
the star shed it's radiance over the
gathering multitudes, life must have
seemed very different to many, IL not
to all, during that wonderful week
1t is under the inspiration of that
event tnat the women's clubs of
Owosso are planning to have a mu-
nicipal tree on Fayette Square this
Christmas Eve.
10 is hoped that as the music peals
forth In the early evening, and the
many lights shine out, that every
man, woman and child IN this city
will be found within reach Of its
melody and glory, and be filled vita
the real Christmas spirit of Peace
and Good VIII to all.
For as each one responds to the
influence of the Star which first shone
ont on Bethlehem's plains, nearly
two thousand years ago, in just that
proportion will the blessing be felt
throughout the wnole city.

DAYS, one dav looms up brighter

What every age needs most is
not the act of accumulating gold,
houses. land, stocks and bonds.
but the art of cultiyating patti
ence. courage, trust, loyalty,
faith and love-the treasures of
the soul, the symbols of eternal
youth. Something to eat, drink
and wear is worth while, but
something to give, a smile,
thank you, a good morning,
hearty handshake, is worth more
to the hungry soul.
when the Christ spirit shall
reign in the hearts of men. the
kingdom of Heaven will have
come. We need to be born again
this Christmas and at every
Christmas that shall come to US,
born into an appreciation of loves
solution of all human problems.
Let all the children of men
rejoice in the matchless gift to
the world of this day."
