KANSAS COOPERATIVE LIVING
A Club Of Nine Families Furnishes
Meals for Nine Cents Each

Nine of the most staid and respectable
families in Burton, Kansas. have thrown
away their stovelids and packed their dish
es on the back kitchen stove. They have
shocked the ordinary ideals of economic
propriety and have formed cooperative
living association, wherein the food ques-
ton is settled upon cooperative basis.
Burton is small village without any
immediate prospect of growing larger. The
size of the town docs not warrant the 10 :
cation of a bakery, and all the wheat stuff
must be bought from the neighboring
cities.
AS consequence, of the limited popula-
ton there Is very small supply of hired
help, even smaller that the limited de-
mand. The heavy burdens of the house,
hold fall upon the housewife alone, and
very little social intercourse can be en-
joyed.
In such condition of affairs the Co.
operative Living association was organ
