found that on account of the cost of
farm help, and to avert the expense of
erecting suitable buildings for the
purpose, the cooperative system is
decidedly the best. Under it the en-
tire management is in the hands Of
the government under expert opera
tives, though control of sales, etc,
rests with the patrons. The farmers
simply deliver their milk or cream

ceive monthly advances, and bal

The schools are free and non-denomi
national-rational. There is no tax for
attendance, the government defrays
the greater part of the cost of sup
port of a highly certifcated staff Of
teachers. There are schools in all
country districts where there are a
dozen pupils to attend them and the
tax is rarely more than 81 a year on

HiIImen staseer Under Burden of
Immense Planks.

No sadAer sight is to be seen in
India than the spectacle of The
Men With the Planks," staggering
along under their burden. Here is a
grlmlv pathetic picture Of them, drawn
by Sir Frederick Treves:
They are hillmen of the poorer
sort who carry planks of sawn wood
into Sinla. Each beam is from twelve
@ fourteen feet in length, and two
or three make up a load. The men
are ilI-clGd, and the sun and rain
have tanned them and their rags to
the color Of brown earth. They bear
the ElaLkg across their bent backs,
and the bIrGen is grievCus. They
cone from a Face some days journey
toward the SHOWS. They plOd along
from the dawn to the twilight. They
cen crushed by the weight of the
Beams. and their gait is more the gait
If n stumbling beast than the walk of
4 man. Their long black hair is white
with dust as it hangs by each side of
their touchdown faces. The sweat
among the wrinkles on their brOws is
hardened into lamentable clay. They
walk in single file, and VIXEN the path
is narrow they must needs move side
ways. The path is in a soil
tude among bare and pitilcss hills:
the road is as old as the world; and
IN the weary dust of it many hun
dreds have dropped and died. Along
it steals this patient line of grooming
men. bending under the burden of the
blanks upon their backs. Behind
them a ro>y tinted light is falling upon
the spOtless SHOWS, and it needs only
the pointing figure of Dante on one
Of the barren peaks to complete the
picture of a circle in Pu%rgatory.'

WHY DO AMERICANS succEgn,

Why do we lead all the nations of
the earth in prosperity, happiness and
Individual contentment?
Why are we, as a people, regarded as
an invincible power Of impregnable
strength?
And why do we compel the admira-
ton of the whole world-at times
grudgingly given, but given, anyhow?
1t is because we are free and indie
cndent in the truest meaning of the
words.
We think Cor ourselves. act for our
selves, govern ourselves more than the
people Of any other nation.
We are absolutely self-reliant. a ma
tional trait that renders us independ-
ent OF all other nations. Independents
Is the keynote of our supremacy.
And this is the reason why up-to-
date grocers inc storekeepers appreci-
ate the fact that Americans of both
sexes have strong wills of their own.
and do not need interested advice.
Every u~p-to-date grocer knows per-
ter of a century Lion Coffee has been
the leading package coffee and a well
come drink at the tables OF millions OF
American homes.
He knows-and everybody else knows
that it ha always kept its old
friends and steadily made new ones.
Good. reliable, trustworthy grocers
willingly acknowledge this, and all in
dependent housekeepers will insist up
on having Lion Coffee and no other, no
matter what kind of an argument gro
GERS II obstinate principles may adj
vance.
Americans want the best, and they
get tie best and purest in Lion Coffee.

Those which strike the ground at the

the times of their dispatch and return
