Those wbo wiah to enroH with tbe dty eieik by maktag tbe proper affidavit before him. maat do so before January 6 In due to a provUlon of tbe act that dl those wbo enroll with tbe desk, roust do ao at least two inontha prior to the primary election If they wish to vote at that election.

The object of this provision la claimed to be to prevent "cokmisatioo" of voters In the larger rltlas In the Intar- eot of some particular candMste for nomination- in order to vote “rolon- I’at" voters wouM have to enroll in the dty at least two montbr Prior to the election, which would make this plan of swinging an election an expensive one.

Prinmr} ('oaM>ii KnrllerThe spring primary election, un

der the new act. occurs the flrgl Wednesday la March, or March 6. more than two weeks earlier than It ocrured laat year. Two motuhs prior to this la January 6th, hence those voters who wish to cant their ballots at the spring election and who desire to enroll by affidavit must do so before the latter date.

Those voters who forget to enroll with tbe city clerk can enroll at the graeral enrollment, taking place the êt Battirday In January, 'nils would entitle them to vote at the March primary, tbe two months' provision of the act not applying to general enroll* menta. *

”1 Khali aay it until you give me an answer.** *

"All that la over for aw.** bitterly. • Mrs. Brinkley turned aad faoed him. “You’ve aever forgottoa Mary Doenr*

Nobody had spoken to Stephen of Mary Dean slnoe. ten years ago, she had lilted him.

Hie heed went ap. bat he smiled ■ediy, as Mrs. .Brinkley laid her wrlakled hand over hla Mg brown one. **I want to aae you bappy.” aha aaid softly.

“Oh. I am happy, and I’m getting to be a ver>’ good housekeeper.**

Me carried the situaUoo off ao ligbtly that ahe bad notbtng else to ■ay. but when she reached the door ahe turned and asked sharply. “If Mary ahould coam back, what then?**

8tepl.en stared at her. He had aever thought of that. He had planned hie future with rafereace only ta hla bachelor needs.

He walked to the gate with Mrs. Brinkley, and when be coxae back the loaellneoe of bis Mg double house struck him with a chill. Stephen's mother had been with him uatll her death, aad she and her eon bad lived 111 the newer part. The older wing, fiiralshed quaintly la the style of early Victorian days, was open oaly once a year when Mrs. Brinkley superviaed the cleaning aad siring.

It was Mra. Brinkley's nelgbborll- aees which had made It possible for Stephen to live alone. He loved her not only tor herself, but because she had always been a frtend of Mary Dana.

Yet she had never dared speak to him as she had spoken today. He went about bla tasks fnrloualy, trying to put out of his bead the thought of his humiliation and ronaequent auf- feiing

Outside, It was a night of wind and of ttorm. Within, a fire burned on the hearth, aad a oat purred In the warmth and glow. Stephen made a cup of coffee for himself and gave the cat some meet and a dish of milk. In younger manhood Stephen hod aot oared for eats, now there wea something of coxnort In the presence of this gentle, white oreeture.

He set long over the Are that night dreaming. The door was shut between his portion of the house aad the empty rooms. Suddenly be eat up' startled. It seemed to him that somewbero. faintly, he beard the rustle of a woman’s dreoa.

He rubbed bis hands across his eyes He must have fallen asleep, and the swish of the rain on the windows had caused the lllnsloa.

He rose, lighted a lamp and went to bed. He left the cat on a cushion on the hearth. He thought be heard the click of a latch. “It Is the wind ** he aaid to hlmaelf. and fell asleep.

In the morning when be went down the oat waa still on the cushion on the hearth rug. but there was something else on the rug—a little fine square of white linen.

Stephen picked up the baodker chief aad stared at it; then he looked at the cat. If only she could speak what would she tell?

It was while he waa still standing there that Mrs. Brinkley came rua- nlag over. "Were you in the other part of your bouse last night?*’ she demanded breathleesly.

“No." luattactlvely Stephen hid the little handkerchief la 'Ms big hands

"There was a faint Slcberlag llsht." Mrs Brinkley said, "tn one of the upper roonM."

"You must have beau dreeatiag.""I coaMn’t have beea," Mrs Brisk-

"Daar Mre. Briakley." Rtephen asked, “who woald coam lato that uaheated pleee on sack a night?"

"Well." Mrs Bnakley mid. decidedly. "If I believed ta ghost I should my that It was a ghoat. aad. anyhow, ft pare am aa awfni fright."

"Aad It wm year haadkerehlef I foaad OB the hmrth," he aaid. "Soom- how I felt that it was yoora. Mary "

He helped her down the stairway aad pat her Into Ma own Mg chair. Then he went for Mrs. Brinkley.

“Mary Doan has ceem back. She's sick with a odd and she needs Immediate attention." be stated. "TooH coxae, wont you?"

Mre. Brinkley's chocolate cake baraed to a crisp wMle she went oa her errand of mercy, bat she did not care.

She seat Stephen for the doctor. TTmn ahe klaaed Mary aad cried over bar aad lectnred her. and mded by myiag. “Rtephen Is the very bmt auui In the whole wide world."

"Oh. don’t I know It?" Mary asked, "ft seemed to am, Mrs. 'Brinkley, that If I could only gat back here and see Stephen once more I wouldn’t care If I died "

“But you are not going to die." said Mrs. Brinkley briskly. “You're going to get well aad nmrry Stephen."

"Oh, no!" MaryN face flamed. “IleTI never forgive mm, Mrs. Brink- ley."

“You get well," mid Mra. Brinkley, “aad see bow qaickly, he'll forgive you. Rtephen neem you. He's a loaely man—loaelyjpcauae of hla love for you."

In the days that followed Stephen and Mrs. Brinkley and the doctor fought for Mary's life. One morning Rtephen brought her out and put her Into the big chair oa the hmrth.

"YouTI be perfectly well in a few days." be said, bmrtJIy.

Mary looked at him llstleoaly. "Aad then.” ahe aaid. "I moat go away."

"You are going to awrry me," he mid. quietly.

Rbe would not. she protested, not after the way she had trmted him. He urged and argued uatll at last be brr.ught Mrs. Brinkley In to oonvlnoe her.

“Tell her bow I need her," be mid.“Mary Dmn." mid Mrs Brinkley,

severely, “are you going to condemn Rtephen Rtrong to keep house with a iMissy rat for the rest of bla days?"

And then Mary gave in. and Mrs. Brinkley baked the rkscolate cake for tbelr wedding feast.

James WUson. secretary of agriculture, says | in a rapurt Just out:

“Farmers* co-opera tire selling aaao- datloDs are numerous In this country,** said tbe aecrrtary. “but co-operative buying aseoclutlona among tbe people of dtle* and towns are few. Why do not ctinsumera buy directly from tbe farmers?

** Aside from buying saaoclatloDs aaalntalue*! by farmers, hardly any co- operatlou exists In this country. It la apparent that tbe consumer baa rnneb to do to work out bis own salvation with reganl to tbe prices be pays.

“Potatoes were selling In tbe spring of loop In some placee where there bad been overproduction for 20 cents a bushel and In some placee for even 0 cento a bushel at tbe farm, while at tbe same time city < onaumer« were paying SO to 79 cento a busbeL although there was nothing to prevent them from combining to buy a carload or more of (lotatnce directly ftom tbe grtfwer and for delivery directly to tbemaelvas.**

Kfierroeus Predts.Tba department of agricultrira last

year made a rather tborongb Invaatl- gatlon Into tbe tncreaee in coat of fknn prodneta In their tranafbr from producer to rouaumer. This teveatl- gatlon cetabllsbed certain facta 'whlcb tbe secretarr of agriculture baa suas- mariaad aa follow*:

The milk consumers of seveaty-aigbt eltloa paid for milk an Increase of 10U.8 per cent above tbe price received by dairytocu. In otber words, tbe farmer's price was fully doubled. Tbe lowest Increase among tbe geographic divisions was par cent In Ibe aoutfa Atlantic states, and tbe highest was 111.11 |ter I'snt In the western state*.

Officials In tbe department of agriculture |iolDt out tbat this wide discrepancy Itelweeii Hie prices rwolved by farmers and tbe prices (tald by i-oa- aumers la not of recent origin. Twelve years ago tbe Induatrial commlssiuii went Into this subject somewhat ex- tenalvely. It develo|*ad some large per- - cantages of Increase of prices to consumers—139.9 |ier cent for cabbage bought by the bead. 100 |ter cent for maluDS bought by tbe pound, for buttermilk sob! by tbe quart and for orange* sold by the crate; 2110 per cent for onions bought by the peck. 400.4 per cent for oranges Istugbt by tbe doaeu. 111.1 |»er cent for stnswberrtes bought by tbe quart and 300 par ceat for watermelons sold singly.

Tbe Inveetlgatloo of a year ago by tbe department of agrtcnltnre showed that itoultry almost doubles In price between tbe farmer and tbe conanmer. POr the arrenty-cigbt cltlea the farmer received 95.1 per ceat of tbe conanmer*a price. f>f tbe price per doaan paid by tbe coaaumer tbe producer recalved ffO per caat In tbe case of eggs. 79 per eoBt to tbe case of dried beans when bought by tbe buahil. 4N.1 per cent In tbe cnaa of cabbage when bought by tbe bead. 79 per ceat In tbe cnae of caalUtewer when bought by tbe daaeo and to tbe case of celery ffO par ceat whan bought by the bnaeh.

Parraiary Wlloan daclarea that the tevwetlgatlon the dapartaaoat made provea coucloolvely that tbe couaumer baa no well grouadad coaaplalat apateot the former tor the prirea that be paya It le plate, tha aacratary aaya. tbat the fonuer la nat gattlaa asarhICaat prlcaa for Ms products aad that tba coat of distrtbutjun from tbe tiam ef delivery at destlaatlon by tbe ralhuad to delivery to tlw muromer to tbe feature of tbe prahlam ef Mgh priree wMcta prmeate IteeM to tbe cou- eumer for troatmaat.

tort to reduce prices may prove of beoedt to otber communities. The ceet of living liecam* on high In tb* Iowa city tbat a commtaslon was appointed to Investlgata This < ommlsakm found that prices were higher In l>ea Moloee than In t'blcagu and considerably higher than In smaller cities of the middle west. For example, pricea to l>n- buqoe were 29 to 39 per (‘ent lees. Now, I>ubuqu* Is only about 200 miles from He* Moines, and natural coodl- tlona are practically tbe same In tbe two clllee. The one great difference was dls<*overe<l to lie tbat Dubuque bad tualntnliietl from time Immomo rial a market when* farmers and burk- ster* might *ell tf> consumers direct.

Tbe result of thl* Investigation was tbe Ites Molne* market It was not established without bitter oiipoattteu from tbe commission men and wholesale denlera In produce. Hut it did bring down prices. Tbe measara of Ita snccaas may be judged from tb* eatab- llsblng of the second market The plan la almplkify Itself. It simply pro- vMea a public place—a public aquare. open space, (lark or building with booths, aa the case may ba—from which tba farmers and bnekoten may retail tbeir gnnda This Is under tbe direction of a city market master.

The awakening to tbe need of co-ap- eratlve selling and buying In America la Indicated by the program of tbla year’s meeting of the national couaar ration congress at Kanaaa City. Among tb* subjects aaslgned ware “t'o-oparatlon Among Parmera.** by W. A. Beard, a member Sff Uoosavalt'a country life commission, and “Cattlag Out the Middleman.*' by rhartas 8 Barrett, president of tb* Parmera* Educational and C'o-operatlva Union of America. This ••rganlaatlon has millions of memlier* tn tbe aontb. If It enlist* tn the movement of radneteg prices, a* tbe grange la doing to tbe north, there win be rroulta.
