ORGANIZING FARMERS
SOCIETY OF EQUITY

M. E. Scott, representing the Ma
tional Farmers Society Of Equity.
has been holding meetings in the
county during the past ten days
preparatory to organizing branches
Of this society. He informs US that
he expects to organize at least l3
branches in the county, and that
branches have been organized in
nearly every county In Southern
Idaho. The objects Of the Society
are said to be purely cooperative,
and 1t aims 10 secure financial bene-
fits for the farmers by enabling
them to save money on the purchase
Of their machinery and other sup
plies and also aids them in securing
better prices for the products from
their farms. orchards and dairies.
There are undoubtedly points in
buying and selling on which many
farmers need education. Just how
this Society Of Equity proposes to
educate the farmers on these two
important questions, we are unable
to say, as we are not familiar with
the principles upon which It oper-
ates. However, II It can bring
about the results which It claims
without aiming to destroy local bus

plished a great good.

year to entitle you to vote at the
general election.
If, for any reason, you fail TO
register before the general election,
the new law provides that you may
register on election day before one
of the judges of election, which will
entitle you to vote. The person ap-
plying for registration before a
Judge of election must be vouched
for by some freeholder in such pre-
cinct.
The new law also abolishes the
Office of distributing clerk and pro-
vides that one of the regularly ap-
pointed judges Of election shall act
in the capacity of distributing clerk.
The law win materially reduce
the expenses incident to holding an
election, as the cost of registering
voters each year amounted to con-
siderable sum. In this county it
has been costing something over
$500 every two years. This year
the cost will be a mere trifie, as
only those who have changed their
residences or the new voters will be
