said Mr.. Kjelgaard, in the, belief that
the farmer can do away with the
trusts by the simple expedient of plac-
ing his wares on the market. himself
All he needs for this is selling organ
ization, and this is possible to him if
he will only cooperate with other
farmers.
"'Our organization has been worked
out on this plan, and we are now ready
to begin after year Of preparation
behind us, and it is incredible that we
should fail
The present high cost of living is
due to nothing else than, a lack Of
farmer cooperation. We farmers have
had our eyes opened at last. and we
are now embarked on what we believe
will prove solution Of one of the
greatest problems that now vex the
country"
Americanized Cooperation.
One of the chief points urged BY
those in control Of this movement is
that cooperation has previously failed
in this country because it was not
Americanized. The English system
made the retail stores part of the
machinery and to that extent stifed
the individual initiative of each dealer.
Under the new plan the proposal is to
leave the retail stores free. All the
cooperative movement proposes to do
is to have the farmer sell direct to the
retailer. In return for the opportu-
nifty to do this the retailer is bound
to give honest weight and measure
and good goods. In addition he is
bound to divide profits with the Gus
toner, arranged on the basis Of GER
tifcates Of sale, the same as in the
Rochdale plan.

WHEN WITHIN TEN MILES OF
HAVANA ACCIDENT CAUSES
DESCENT TO WATER,
NO DAMAGE IS DONE
AVIATOR PICKED UP BY TORPEDO
BOAT WITHOUT EVEN
GETTING WET.

Havana. A. D. McCurdy, a Cana
dian by birth but now affiliated with
American aviators, set new record iii
over-the-water flights, covering nearly
100 miles, from Key West to within
ten miles of Havana, when from a
slight accident he was compelled to
drop into the sea. There he remained.
his biplane floated by pontoons until
the lifeboat of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Terry picked him up.
With victory within his grasp, his
goal in plain viewo an accident, trivial
in itself, robbed McCurdy of his al,
most won title of conqueror of the
Florida Straits.
A break in a small part of the ell
gine, ruptured crank-case permit
ting the escape of the lubricating oil,
necessitated McCurdy's descent.
The aviator, when the sound of the
engine told him something was
wrong, instantly shut off power.
He descended rapidly, swinging
steadily to the water
The pontoons proved buoyant, Nc
Curdy not even wetting his feet.
The fall was seen by the vessels OF
the squadron and they headed in his
direction at top speed, the Paulding
and the Terry arriving almost at the
same time.
Some difficulty was experienced in
maneuvering the destroyers alongside
the air craft, but the aviator being as
sured by the officers he was safe and
that there was no necessity for haste,
the Terry's lifeboat took him off and
finally he was taken aboard the
Paulding.
Efforts to hoist the machine on the
launching platform failed. Graphing
irons were finally used, and the aero
plane was badly damaged.
While this work was going on the
Cuban flagship Hatuey arrived from
Havana, carrying President Gomez
and friends She ran alongside the
Paulding, and the President shouted
his congratulations of the pluck of
the aviator and regret for his ill-for-
tune After an hours delay the
squadron started for Havana, entering
the harbor a few minutes after 1
o'clock. McCurdy's descent was made
from height of 1000 feet.
