store would not only stifie individu-
atty on the part of aspiring young
men but would raise suspicion on the
part of the buying public, naturally
hostile to combinations Of this kind
The latter point was assented to by
one or two farmers who followed.
The advocates Of cooperation, how
ever, stood by their guns on the OBJ
vious advantage of cooperation in
buying goods in larger quantities and
cutting down expense of selling
them.
There was unanimity on the prop
osition that cooperation is desirable
in building up the town by inducing
manufacturing concerns to locate
here and by going after better rail-
road facilities. "A. ID. Stewart,
Thomas Whittet, Messrs. Henderson,
Hall and one or two others spoke
frankly and well concerning the at
titude of the farmers on the point of
cooperation, showing their appecia-
ton of the recent drop in lumber
prices, and Mr.. Whittet giving some
of his experience in lumber buying
tending to show that competition in
that line was absolutely necessary in
order to justify going into building
operations here. Mr.. Stewart thought
that there was chance for business
men to reciprocate with the farmers
in showing more friendly spirit
toward the Rural telephone company /,
which had been laboring under adj
verse conditions and had not been
greatly encouraged by local mer-
chants here.
All of the farmer speakers conced-
ed that the farmers and merchants
had common interests in building up
the town and maintaining good mar
kets, good schools and good social
conditions here. Mr.. Hall put in a
good word for the principle that a
farmer should give the merchants a
chance to demonstrate whether they
could furnish reliable goods at mail
order prices, always giving prefer
ence to his home merchants where
considerations were nearly equal.
Mr.. Henderson suggested that the
reason local. merchants had not been
able to make money during recent
years was because farmers had not
been able to make money until the
last year or 80, on account of Excess
sive rains.
Frank Hubbard and o. w. Grapp
were called upon to speak for the
merchants. The former madeit quite
apparent that 50 far as his line Of
merchandise is concerned, it had
nothing to fear from comparison Of
prices for reliable goods with their
competitors in the city or elsewhere,
and Mr.. Grapp opened up an inter-
esBing disclosure Of the great advan-
tage gained by the furniture trade
in Combining together to buy direct
from the manufacturer and cut out
the jobber and the travelling man.
Our outline connot do justice to
the facts and theories elected at last
Tuesdays meeting, but we cannot
too highly endorse the spirit shown
in getting business men and farmers
together in this way to tell their
problems and difficulties and estab-
fish mutual relations with one an
other.
The principle of cooperation lies
at the foundation of our social sys-
tenn, and that it will apply in bust
ness to an increasing extent in the
future seems almost inevitable. But
cooperation can never wholly Grad
icate human selfishness.

THE PLAY.

The world from the darkness and depths Of space
Swung into the light of the Rsw-made dawn
Each actor at once advanced to his place,
And tine play was on.
From The heights of heaven, from the pits Of he'll,
Onlookers follow the drama of Life;
But how it will end. is there one can tell?
Shall Right or shall Wrong, from turmoil and strife
Receive. when emerging from death struggle throes,
The final applause when the fight is won?
Tragedy, anyway, howe'e it goes;
And the Play goes on.
Arrayed for battle, vast armies pass by;
With pomp and splendor, proud nations appear;
Means of the downtrodden rise to the sky
Groans of the serf and the slave smite the ear,
Still tyrannieal might and the lust of spoil;
Still the rich Cypress. as in ages sone;
Still the poor are grinding IN mills of toll,
And the Play goes on.
The cynic goes by with his scornful sheer;
The fool sells his soul for a bauble to wear;
Men love and men hate; angels weep, devils jeer
Over hearts that are breaking with shame or despair.
There are births, there are deaths: the knight and the knave
Go down to the vale, where the dank graves yawu;
There is Joy by the cradle and grief by the grave,
And the Play goes on.
And ever the watchers will hope or doubt,
While the wonderful drama Of Life goes on,
Till the curtain falls and the lights are out,
And the phv is done.

it served her right for so far forget
