THE GOVERNMENT YIELDING

NEW YORK. Aug. SO.-Adriano

had received no dispatches from santo

from the latest press and private ad-

control OF the country within few

Town Run on a Cooperative Plan.


The little town of MOrehead, in the
very northwest corner of Labette
county, Kansas, is probably the only
town in the United States that is run
on a cooperative plan to any extent.
This little town has a population Of
about 500 or 600 people and has adopt
ed cooperative methods almost ex-
clusfYely. 1t is in the heart of a
great agricultural section, and the CO.
operative idea has been extended into
the country, where several farms are
run on the cooperative basis. The
farmers raise their crops and divide
up, so that il one farmer has poor
as he would do otherwise. The CO.
operative methods that have been
adopted so far have proven a success
and more enterprises are constantly
being put under this method of doing
business. At present the town has a
cooperative hotel, a cooperative
laundry, a cooperative hall, a CO.
operative creamery, a cooperative
canning factory, and a cooperative
dining hall has just been put in opera
ton, where several families, perhaps
two dozen, take their meals. Anybody
who is a member of the company can
get his meals at a reduced rate there
and many farmers have become men,

marriage at seventeen to a yourg
countryman who has come up to
town to make his living as por-

the average East Londoner learns
from books at school he after
wards forgets; but the ciMlizing
influence of the schools is incal-

transformed the east end within
the past thirty years.

Some of the people of the Cher
okee nation are arguing that there
is no great haste about developing
the mineral lands in that nation
that the mineral resources will
keep. This is good logic. The
mineral resources of the territory
are now where they can not be
stolen or corrupted by rust. In
ten years they will be even more
valuable than now, and there will
be better chance to make leases
and get the best out of the prop
erty. The Cherokees will do well
to hold their leases and not sur
render them to the first specula-
tor who comes roaming over the
hills and dales looking for good
thing. Capital is always ready
to develop mineral resources
