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

Applied to organizations. this term
cooperation 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
ization" 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 a 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 a 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 win achieve
more than the loudest shoutings of one
voice alone.
After working together with others
for common purpose 1t becomes APP
parent that to cooperate" may mean
buying and selling together, working
together In the bayfield, or In lodge
room. In home or In a community;
1t may mean mingling together for
recreation. or even for thinking to-
gether II means that when women
get up 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 were made to combine with

Pure Bred Males.

Many farmers make the serious mis-
take Of buying a cheap bull, boar,

ing purposes. There Is no place on a
farm for a cheap pure bred scrub

Many farmers know the Importance
Of good males. but start out to buy q

obtained for little more money than
scrub. The wise breeder thinks OF
the price last. He wants good ami

the price.

Bridal Wells.

The traditional cloud Of tulle no
longer is the fashion In London for a
bridal veil. The daughter OF a noble
man who was married recently in St.
Martins church wore veil Of Brus-
sells net with tiny spot. The veil was
folded closely around the head. and
was arranged in such a way the dra-
peries did not cover the face, but fell
away gracefully on either side. A
finely plated frill Of net dropped over
the forehead and was bordered along
the top with small wreath Of orange
blossoms and myrtle. Another Lon
don bride wore veil folded lightly
across the top Of the head. while in
front of It the orange blossoms were
arranged in the form of high tiara.
which helped to hold the veil In place.
The latter bride had on long leaf
green cloth wrap of ratine, trimmed
with broad bands of black satin.

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
by broad band Of embroidery. which

A notable feature Of some Of the

chiffon, close and plain. while the
other arm is bare. save for garland
or wreath OF black roses set midway

In Some Of the best schools the
pupils are now taught to roll table
cloths instead Of folding them. since
the folds In linen are usually the first
places that show wear. says con-
tributor to the Delineator. The table
cloths are ironed nat and rolled while
being ironed. II is best to use Ia
BILE for the ironing board. as this
gives more space Start to roll the
tablecloth as soon as a quarter Of a
yard Is ironed and keep the roll d.
rectly In front, turning It as fast az
the ironing is done. Sometimes thick
brown paper IL used to roll the cloth
on, but It must be the width Of the
linen. A clever woman has procured
several mailing tLbes, placed them
end to end and covered them with
fancy wall paper. pasting It on Sc
curely. This makes firm founda-
ton for the roll. Napkins should be
folded once with the iron and all
other folding done by hand SO they
will not wear In the creases.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 26.-Things
will be moving fast from now on
In the matter of changing the pres
ent contempt law. The senate ju-
dietary committee had the Landon
bill, which embraces the federal
statute on the subject, under con-
sideration yesterday afternoon.
Senator Nichols offered an
amendment which in no wise af-
fects the intent of the Landon bill
to prohibit courts from furnishing
for criticisms committed outside
the courtroom. The amendment is
merely as to the form of the
bill, and it has been accepted by
Senator Landon. In the present
for, with the Nichols amendment,
the bill will come for open dis
cussion on the floor of the senate
either today or tomorrow.
Chairman Rosenhaupt of the
judiciary committee maintained a
non-commital attitude when the
bill came up for discussion before
the committee. 1t comes before
