Cooperative Plans Used to Get Dollars
from the People Of the Country.

Financiering or promoting has be-
come a particular science. This new
science has taken the broad name of
system and to system" is attrib-
uted Machiavellism that would make
Insignificant the chicanery of the
noted Italian diplomat. At present the
nation is treated to illustrations OF the
methods of the advocates of system
through the magazine articles. and the
disclosures made of the transactions
OF many big concerns which have been
investigated by the courts.
When simmered down, II will be
seen that 1t is by use of money con-
tributed by the masses of people, and
placed In the control of the few that
the masters OF finance are enabled to
rob and build up at will. give and
take. and let the people go to the bow
vows.
1t is not the intention herein to deal
particularly with the gigantic institu-
tions, but to show how the principles
employed by them are also brought
into use by promoters OF schemes of
lesser degree. And here an anomaly
short-sighted the masses of people are.
the small-caliber schemers who apply

cry OF trust" and robbers" Well
they know the cupidity of the masses,
and by presenting what appears a
plausible scheme of cooperation get
from out the pockets of the people
money with which to carry on bust
ness. This plan of working is generally
a stock-selling scheme, a membership
plan with promise of selling goods at
Wholesale prices, and the paying OF
large dividends. A number of such
concerns have lately come into exist
ence. Some of them have such NAM
moth things in view that If their plans
could be successfully carried out, 1t
would be the building up of greater
monopolies than those that they hold
up before the people as Justification
OF their own existence.
Do not be deceived by the represen-
tations made by alleged cooperators.
A close investigation will show that
instead of purely cooperative plan.
1t is a scheme simply with the object
OF getting from the people money with
which to carry on business for the
personal gain OF few. Don't invest
money In any alleged cooperative
store or concern located in the large
cities, and of which you know nothing
other than the representations made
by their promoters. Remember that

seemed born for padding, and as he
padded he kept bobbing his head
down into the white substance and
fetching up the most appetizing
things. Evidently the world had been
made for nothing except gobbling and
padding.
By and by he began to feel tired.
He determined to jump out on the
steps again, but strange to say all his
jumps turned to paddles. He couldn't
seem to get over hard, brown object
next to the steps. He decided to try
no more but just to sit still, SO he dou-
bled his short legs up under him and
fioated. After while he felt himself
sinking, but he padded twice or thrice
and got up again. Still 1t was pleas
anter to drift, SO he rested once more.
Lower and lower he sank. Strange
odors fioated up around him. Drowsi-
ness besieged him. Not much except
his head was now above surface, but
somehow, as he rested his bill on that
cool substance the gosling didn't care.
Just then Mary Ann came out with a
pan of peelings and dashed them in.
Peep! peep!" murmured the gos-
ling. bobbing up and down.
"La!" calculated Mary Ann, and ran
for the shovel.
When she had shoveled him out on
the grass she finished her exclamation

more sense that to go swimmin' in the

Peep" replied the gosling, placidIy
turning over on the grass in the warm
sun with deliciously filled feeling.

him, figured continually before the

four weeks, but already he has made

to be as good a boy to get away as is
