Cooperation In business has proven q
success. Stores, manufactures, mines
and educational institutions have been
conducted in accordance with the well
known principles Of cooperation and
in several instances dining halls and even
living apartments have been thus carried
on most successfully. Now scheme Of

which large number Of chosen families
may be associated pleasantly and most
pro6tably II Is nothing less than
A COOPERATIVE VILLA
Near the site OF the Topeka university,
whore an extensive apartment manor ls
10 be built that will accommodate eighty
families and will include the various de-
partments Of cooperative work A CO.
operative store will occupy one corner Of
this eight-acre tract which will be
manipulated and controlled by the par
ties interested in the movement, who will
thus be able TO secure their goods at
wholesale prices.
A cooperative school will occupy
another corner Of the tract which will
likewise be under control af the COM
pany,
A church or lecture hall will occupy
another corner and the fourth corner
will be the site Of some other needed es-
tablishment .,..
Eighty apartments Of from five TO
seven rooms each will complete the en-
closure, Each Of these apartments will
be represented by one share in the estab.
llshment and may be occupied by one or
more families. These will not be pro
vided with kitchens, for cooperative
dining hall will occupy tho center Of the
enclosure where all may go for meals.
The dining hall will contain a number Of
small dining rooms which may be used
by such as prefer more quiet than a
general hall affords, and further, meals
will be served to individuals or families
in their own apartments when 80 desired.
A magnificent park and flower garden
will cover all available grounds not
covered with buildings, where lawn ten.
mis-, cr0quet and other grounds will be
maintained for the amusement Of the co.
operates.
Pneumatic and order tubes will con-
meet the dining hall with each apart
ment, 80 that persons may be served In
their own rooms with any desired deli
cacy without the personal service Of
walters.
Telephones will connect the various
apartments, and also the central office in
Topeka, 30 that the co-Operates may hold
conversation with each other or with any
station of the Bell system without leav
ing their own room. Hl, %.
The comforts Of luxury may thus be

steam in cold weather and the same
apparatus will be used to supply cold air
in hot weather so the rooms may be kept
