A Kansas Town i'm Which CO-opera-
tion Seems to BE Success
(From the Omaha Daily Bee)

The little town of Morehead. in the very
northwest corner of Labette county. Kan
sas, is probably the only town in the Unit
ed states that is run on the cooperative
plan TO any extent. This little town has a
population of about 500 or 500 people and
mas adopted cooperative methods almost
exclusively. 1t is situated on the Santa Fe
rallroad between here and Kansas City,
and is about thirty miles north of here. II
rs IN the heart of great agricultural sec
ton and the cooperative idea has been
extended into the country, where several
farms are run on the cooperative basis
Inc farmers raise their crops and divide
up, so that IL one farmer has poor crops
he need not suffer a total loss, as he would
do otherwise
The cooperative methods that have been
adopted so far have proven success and
more enterprises are constantly being nut
under this method Of doing business. AT
present the town has a cooperative hotel
a cooperative laundry, a cooperative
hall, cooperative creamery, a co-opera-
tive canning factory, and cooperative
dining hall has just been put in operation
where several families, perhaps two dozen,
take their meals. Anybody who is a mem
Der of the company can get their meals
at reduced rate there and many farmers
have become members, so that they can get
a good square meal at very low price
when they come to town on Saturday,
cooperative housekeeping movement is to
be started soon, which, together with the
dining hall already in operation, will do
away with the hired girl problem An
experienced manager oversees each COM
mon enterprise and renders his account at
the end of each month, and the expenses
are divided up among the members of the
cooperative society.
The town is prospering and many new
houses are going up Other enterprises will
be put on cooperative basis at once
and it is intended soon to have all the
cooking and other work done in common.
and such town as Edward Beliamy pict-
ures in Looking Backward will in all
probability be realized here, as that is the
intention Of the people of Morehead. s

Invasion of the CorpuscIes.

Those of the little bodies which secure
a resting place within the corpuscles
quickly go about their subdivision method
of propagation, and at the given time the
increased number OF diamond shaped bod
les are ready to burst forth from the cor
puscles. This, occurring at stated inter-
yals according to the time of maturing
of the particular variety of germ, causes
a chill, as the thousandsoof infected cor
puscles burst at nearly the same minute
In this way miscropic examination of the
blood of an infected person determines ex-
actly the variety OF germ and the perdic-
ton can be accurately made as to the time
of the next chill after study of the stage
of development of the germ.
Some OF the germs put, forth dagelia or
tails, which waggle about In the blood
current of the victims and finally break off
from the parent bodysH Then these tails
propel themselves about In the blood
stream until full grown parasite is met,
