FEELING STRENGTH OF UNION
Various Ways In Which Term "co.
operation" Can Be Applied and
What II Means.

Applied to organizations, this term
operation" which we so often use,
frequently comes to have a limited
meaning. Broadly speaking, to coop
crate signifies to work together; but
very often when cooperative organ
fzation" or cooperative movement"
Is spoken of, only financial co-opera-
ton is thought of, that is, buying and
selling In kind of partnership. This
places restriction upon word which
admits of much more generous in
depreciation, writes Jennie Buell. in
the Michigan Farmer.
Suppose the original intent of the
organization was to promote financial
profits. Despite this possibility, in
most cases, larger and more desirable
objects still will result as they must
result whenever men and women work
together for worthy cause. Cooper.
alton for money profit, II entered into
upon basis of obtaining justice for
all, demands that the co-operators
shall respect one another's rights and
privileges. There soon develops a
recognition Of dependence upon one
another. Respect for differences of
opinion follow and the value of uniting
forces on broader grounds than here
tofore is soon approached. Even
when the incentive to combine efforts
Is an entirely selfish motive, this very
means may grow into conviction
that the cooperation of mind with
mind Is something Of more value than
that Of muscle with muscle, or dollar
with dollar; and that ballot co.operat-
Ing with other ballots will achieve
more than the loudest shoutings of one
voice alone.
After working together with others
for a common purpose 1t becomes ap.
parent that to cooperate" may mean
buying and selling together, working
together In the bayfield, or in a lodge
room, in home or In a community;
It may mean mingling together for
{ recreation. or even for thinking to.
gether It means that when women
get up a sumptuous Grange feast, they
cooperate" in doing SO quite as much
and as surely as do their husbands
when they buy a car of coal or sell
stock together. In any and all of
these lines of cooperation people feel
the strength Of union, Of harmony, of
effort, and the strong bond that comes
with service in common. Separate
from others, our lives run to waste.
but we we're made to combine with
others and to find scope for our pow

Pure Bred Males.

Many farmers make the serious mis-
take Of buying a cheap bull, boar,
jack stallion or other male for breed
ing purposes. There Is no place on a
farm for a cheap pure bred scrub
male. There are many pure bred
scrub males as well as ordinary
scrubs.
Many farmers know the Importance
of good males, but start out to buy q
male with the idea that one can be
obtained for a little more money than
q scrub. The wise breeder thinks of
the price last. He wants good ami.
NAL. He is more than willing to pay
the price.

Tho New Sleeves.

Although most Of the new frocks
and coats show the kimono shoulder,
the imported lingerie blouses have
the regulation sleeve in most In
stances, Where the straight shoul-
der effect is preferred it is simulated
nv a broad band of embroidery which
Joins the bodice and sleeves.
A notable feature Of some OF tho
new gowns is the difference in the
two sleeves. For instance, one OF the
datntiest models shows one sleeve OF
chiffon, close and plain. while the
other arm is bare, save for garland
or wreath of black roses set midway
between shoulder and elbow.

MARY STUART'S
PEARLS FOUND

1t is always easy to believe strange
things about those who have passed
from life in the midst of tragedy; moth
ing seems improbable when II is related
about people burned at the stake or be-
headed. Romance seems to spring up
like rank flowers wherever human blood
has been shed.
The Inflated Mary Queen of Scots
died more than 800 years ago. Now
comes a story from Paris that a black
pearl necklace of the unfortunate queen
has just been found-by a bicyclist, And
the story somehow sounds true. At any
rate. here it is word for word as the
Paris journal gives it:
A lady cyclist. had a mishap with the
cord Of her pince-nez while touring in an
obscure town in Scotland The lady
pulled up at the general shop and tried
to replace the cord. The shop keeper,
not having a suitable cord. told the lady
he would take the wire from an old
necklace which he showed her.
She. being struck with it. said she
would buy it at the price asked-s312 12-
and do as best she could for a cord. On
reaching her lodgings the lady cleaned
the pearls and was struck with their
beauty
The lady's next procedure was to SUBJ
nit the necklace to an expert jeweler,
who pronounced the pearls to be of
very great value. and worth at least
s45, 900. 1t is a historical fact that on the
day of the execution the unfortunate
queen of Scotland divided among her
women who attended her ornaments and
jewels, including the necklace of black
pearls. How it passed into the hands Of
the ancestors of the shopkeeper is
mystery.

And wheR you cast yo--r eyes down the
twenty-siX numbers which comprise II,
don't form a snapshot judgment and say
that the combination descriptions anu
locoes present too knotty a problem for
you.
If you will give the new enigma a
moments study, you will see that.
while it presents a greater variety than
has been contained in any other single
puzzle, it holds really no more diff
culties.
Twenty-six business houses, banks,
places of amusement, &c, are hidden
in the new puzzle. each number repre-
senting the name under which the busi-
ness has been recently advertised.
AS you will readily observe, the odd
numbers of the puzzle e. 8. 5, &C., are
in descriptive style. while the even
numbers e. 4. 6. &c) are locoed.
This combination adds variety to the
enigma that cannot fail to please par
ticularly in large families, where mem
bers help each other. and where some
prefer the descriptive mask for the con-
test subject.
There is no objection to members of a
family or groups of friends dividing up
the puzzle and solving 1t together.

PROPER CLOTHING
FOR YOUNG BABIES
They Should Not Be Over
burdened in Hot Weather.

The baby should wear enough clothing
should not be overburdened with heavy
clothes. It should wear a soft wool or
cotton and wool shirt all the year around.
The latter Is the most serviceable, as
pure wool is liable to shrink and. be-
sides, It is irritating to some skins.
Until the baby is at least year old
1t should wear a soft flannel band. This
protects the abdomen from chilling and
is an aid in the prevention Of summer
diarrheas. It should not be worn too
tight, however, or It will interfere with
digestion. After the navel is healed the
band should be rather loose and held
In place by means of straps over the
shoulders and one fastening 1t to the
diaper In front.
In the summer time the babies should
not be kept wrapped too closely. Many
little babies suffer from overheating.
There seems TO be a mistaken idea that
small babies must be wrapped tightly.
no matter how warm the weather is.
The swaddling clothes of the ancients
were not much worse than the tightly
pinned bands and clothes Of many mod
ern babies.
Great care Is necessary in the care OF
diapers IL one would prevent chafing.
A baby never should be allowed to go
In wet or soiled diapers.
After the morning bath the baby should
be powdered, especially under the arms,
and on the neck, to prevent chafng.
Should chafing appear 1t is well to use
olive oil instead Of water for the bath.
the same as II was used the first week
Of the baby's life. In any skin disease
all clothing should be changed at least
once a day and this clothing should be
boiled before being used again.
Give Freedom of Movement.
The creeping baby should be dressed so
that 1t has every freedom Of movement
unhampered by its clothing. Its dresses
and skirts should be short. Rompers
which are not too baggy may be worn
over the dress or without it in warm
weather. They are especially adapted
to the needs Of the creeping baby, for
they prevent the child from stepping on
its skirts and pitching headlong. They
also allow OF great freedom Of move
ment.
A baby is better Off If allowed to go
barefooted during the warm weather.
Often a child allowed to go barefooted
will thrive and grow rugged with the
contact with Mother Nature. The older
children, too. are benefited II they are
dressed in a similar manner.
The half hose so much worn at the
present time is not without it's dangers,
for, when a portion Of the body Is ex-
posed. the sudden chilling may cause
numerous disorders.
Frequently in cold weather I have met
a parent carrying a small child well
wrapped in a wool blanket as far as the
upper portion of the body was concerned,
but below the blanket the small feet
were protruding. protected only by light
weight hose and thin shoes. No wonder
the baby catches cold when taken out.
even though it has been wrapped in a
blanket.-Edith B. Lowry, in August Wo-

NEWS OF WOMEN
HERE And ABROAD
Notes of Their Activity in
Many Fields.

The women's Imperial Health Associa-
ton is the name of an organization in
England, of which DR.. Mary Scharlief is
president, that runs a caravan through
the country, so that mothers may be
taught in their own homes how to take
care of their babies. These are some Of
the rules that are laid down for the
mothers and their children: Keep win
dows open day and night; do not spit;
breathe through the nose by keeping the
mouth shut; drink pure water: eat slowly
well-cooked meals and cultivate regular
habits; wear loose clothing of seasonable
material; take regular open-air exercise
in the sunshine, If possible; wash whole
body at least once week; work but do
not worry; get house drains certified by
sanitary authority"
The women of Poland have just cele-
brated the semi-centennial of Pauline
Kuezalaska, who started the woman's s
rights movement in that country. She
taught poor girls in her home and found
ed a committee on sewing, which grew
into the Society of Women's Work. This
became the Woman's Mutual Aid Society,"
and she finally collected her women in
the Women's Land Owners Association
kindred organizations. She organized the
first woman's congress at the jubilee cele-
bration of Orseskowa, and in 1886 obtain
ed 1900 signatures for municipal suffrage
for women in Polish cities.
Now it is the Moslen: women of Egypt
who are taking part in the woman move
ment, having asked of the Moslem Con-
gress the right to attend prayers and
sermons in the mosques, a privilege al
ready granted to the women Of Constan-
tinople. They also ask that the primary
education of young women be made OBJ
ligatory; that young girls be admitted to
schools OF medicine: to use means to
prevent polygamy and the abuse OF di-
vorce, and to teach Mohammedan girls
sewing, housekeeping. and hygiene.
Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, who will
speak at the national suffrage conven-
ton in Nashville in October, is a rela-
tion of Henry Clay, and is we'll known
in the South as a writer and speaker.
She has worked for school suffrage in
Kentucky. Miss Laura Clay is president
of the Kentucky Suffrage Association.
The mornings will be devoted to the
reading of reports and business, and the
evenings to speaking and entertain
ments.
Miss Jane Adams said recently that
one thing that made her desire the ballot
is that she has to stop so often in her
work to wait for legislation that those
interested. being women, could not OBJ
tain for themselves, and so the work was
halted.
1t is said that of all the things that
the Kaiser has said, his statement that
woman's domain was in the church,

the home, even more so than England.
