PHILOSOPHY TO THE RESCUE
Pat Went Without His Steak, but at
That Everything Was Not
Lost.

Charles Nagel, secretary Of COM
herce and labor, says the Irish race
has, in addition to it's sentiment and
romance, lot Of philosophy as one
of its characteristics.
"The best illustration | ever heard
of this he explained to a dinner
party one evening, was the case Of
a poor Irishman who had been given
fine, juicy piece of steak. Being u
religious man, he placed the steak in
front of him, and there, in the shade
of the trees surrounding his benefac-
tors house, he folded his hands,
closed his eyes, and gave thanks to
heaven for the meal. When he was
in the attitude of prayer, dog rushed
up and captured the steak. Pat
looked around in time to see the food
disappearing over the hill.
Thank heaven he exclaimed,
again closing his eyes, he left me my
appetite!' THE Sunday Magazine.

of intense good humor.

ran his eyes about the room searching
for some spot of weakness. 1t was
dark back of the bench, and he turned
in that direction. Leaning over, he
looked down on the figure of a man
curled up, sound asleep on the floor.
The fellows limbs twitched as If in a
dream, otherwise he might have deem
ed him dead, as his face was buried
in his arms. A moment Keith hest
tated; then he reached down and
shook the sleeper, until he aroused
face of a coal-black negro. An in
slant the fellow stared at the man
towering over him, his thick lips part
ed his eyes full of sudden terror.
Then he sat up, with hands held be-
fore him as though warding off a
blow.
"Fo' de Lawds sake he managed
to articulate finally, "am dis sho yo',

England on an indestructible and per-
manent basis.
The example set by England Is being
eagerly followed among all civilized
nations of the old world.
From the most recent data gathered
from authoritative sources, such as
Hans Muller. for instance, we learn
that the present results of co-opera-
ton in continental Europe. though for
ty years younger, now exceed Eng
lands stupendous figures.
America Next.
The United States needs co-0pera-
ton now, but it is new nation. and
its legislation. agriculture. industry.
commerce and finance differ in many
ways from those of European coun-
tries. Any importation of the coop
erative plan must be accompanied by
improvements and modifcatio which
will adapt 1t to the character, meth
DDS, habits and requirements Of the
American people. and this under pen
atty of failure.
The failure to recognize and comply
with these cardinal conditions is re-
sponsible for the lack of success Of
the previous attempts to establish CO.
operation in this country.
But there exists an American plan.
now ready to be put in operation. 1t
Is the result of twenty years Of close
study of the conditions required to
meet the instant favor of all without
attacking or interfering with any Of
the Industrial, commercial. producing
and financial interests at present ex-
listing In this country.
The aims Of the United Stores asso-
citation through the permanent organ
ization Of its improved system Of
"distributive cooperation" are:
TO bring close together the three So
cial but divided elements
distributor and producer - causing
them to reciprocate in a mutual and
constant effort to help each other.
There are two classes of members
the associate purchasers and the asso-
ciate dealers.
The main objects Of the association
regarding the consumer. it's associate
purchaser, are:
First.-To enable him to procure all
necessaries Of good quality, Of just
measure and weight and at fair prices
Second.-To pay over to him from
time to time, subject only to the sim

where the farmers and hucksters
might sell directly to consumers. So
successful has been the plan that a
second market was recently opened.
The history Of this Des Moines eff
fort to reduce prices may prove Of
benefit to other communities. The cost
of living became so high in the Iowa
city that u commission was appointed
to investigate. This commission found
that prices were higher in Des Moires
than in Chicago and considerably high
er than in smaller cities of the mid
die west. For example. prices in Du-
buque were 25 to 35 per cent less
Now. Dubuque is only about 200 milc,
from Des Moines, and natural condi-
tons are practically the same in the
two cities. The one great difference
was discovered to be that Dubuque
had maintained from time immemo-
rial market where farmers and buck
sters might sell to consumers direct.
The result Of this investigation was
the Des Moines market 1t was not
established without bitter opposition
from the commission men and whole
sale dealers in produce. But it did
bring down prices. The measure of its
success may be judged from the estab-
fishing Of the second market. The
plan is simplicity itself. 1t simply pro-
vides a public place-a public square.
open space. park or building with
booths. as the case may be-from
which the farmers and hucksters may
retail their goods. This is under the
direction Of city market master
The awakening to the need Of coop
erative selling and buying in America
is indicated by the program Of this
years meeting o. the national conser.
walton congress at Kansas City.
Among the subjects assigned were
Incorporation Among Farmers" by
W. A. Beard. a member of Roosevelt's
country life commission, and Cutting

Barrett, president Of the Farmers Ed
ucational and Cooperative Union Of
America. This organization has mil
lions of members in the south IF it
enlists in the movement Of reducing
prices, as the grange is doing in the
north, there will be results.
When the American people are face
to face with problem they usually
work it out. They are now face to
face with high prices. Obviously the
key to the solution Of this problem Is
cooperation. s8ssB ii " I. 4
