NO CLERKS IN THIS STGRE
Farmers In Washington Trying an Ex.
pertinent In Honesty.

A consumers company has been
organized by the Farmers Educa.
tional and Cooperative union a.
Medical Lake, Wash. The union
had bought general store, full
ly stocked with groceries and provi-
sions and farm implements, and sup
piled each of its 100 members with a
key to the establishment, the doors Of
which are net open to the general
public.
There are no clerks, cashiers and
slorekeepers; no goods are displayed
in the windows, neither are there any
handbills and catchy advertisements
to tempt the housewife. The store is
an experiment to reduce the cost of
living.
Officers Of the organization believe
with TOlstoi that it is as natural for
a normal man to be honest as it is
for babe to breathe, and it is pur.
posed to demonstrate the truth OF
the theory by giving each member ac-
cess to the stock of unguarded pro-
visions.
