Cooperation. one of the subjects
taken up at the recent conservation
congress, Is the conservation of human
energy and equal chance. The history
of the cooperation idea is not one of
entire success simply because it has
not been properly unders TODD w. A.
Beard of Sacramento, Cal. who dis
eussed the subject. said:
"The term cooperative movement
as used in this discussion contemplates
the development of cooperative socie-
ties in which individuals are asso-
ciated for mutual profit and benefit.
The ideal cooperative society is that
in which the benefits and profits are
distributed among the members accord
ing to their respective interests.
Because there have been many and
conspicuous failures, and because
abuses have marked the administra-
ton of some so-called cooperative So
cieties, the average citizen is disposed
to regard the movement as an imprac-
teal dream of a few enthusiasts. and in
consequence, the really excellent prog
ress is being made in the face of dis
trust that should be removed.
"A knowledge OF the facts will dis
pei this impression. Cooperation is a
demonstrated success. The co-opera-
tive movement is a world movement.
cooperative societies are doing bust
ness successfully in every civilized
country on earth; in several of the
great nations they are among the most
important of enterprises. In this
country they are doing business in al
most every state. Everywhere the CO.
operative society, properly conducted,
contributes to the material welfare of
its members: in most places it Is an
important factor in social and moral
advancement.
The modern cooperative movement
began less than a century ago and be-
gan to assume Importance about 1910.
| The earliest beginnings of cooperative
business enterprises as we know them
were the establishment of a little CO.
| operative store a Rochdale, England,
| in 1914 and the founding of a co-opera-
| tive credit society in Germany in 1919
The pioneer in agricultural co-opera
| ton was the rural credit society OF
Germany, the first of which was or
| ganized in 1862
| Each of the movements began in the
| smallest way. The German Credit So
| cieties. both rural and urban, were

James Whfteomb RILEY.

James Whitcomb Riley. Familiarity
known as the "Hoesier Poet and per-
haps the most distinctiveiy original
poet the west has ever produced, was
born in Greenfield Ind. Oct. I. 1853.
His education was received in the pub
lie schools of his native town. AS a
youth he worked as a journeyman sign
painter. Later he Joined a small the
atrical troupe, rewriting their plays
and improvisfng songs for them. He
finally went to work in a newspaper
office-in Anderson. Ind.-and began
his literary career by writing humorous
rhymes in the Hoosier dialect. The or
iginality of his verse attracted atten-
ton and before long he obtained po-
sition on an Indianapolis newspaper.
In 1883 he published his first book of
poems. The Old Swimmin Hole and
'Leven More POEMS" which met with
immediate success.

offer beyond their collective honesty,
industry and business ability. The
purpose was to help the very poor. and
the success attained Is attested by the
comparative prosperity of German ar
tisans and farmers, and by the pres

banking system. The Rochdale society

has grown the great systems of CO.

Agricultural cooperation finds it's
most complete development in Den
mark. Almost every Danish farmer is
a member of one or more cooperative
societies. Cooperation is almost a ma
tional trait. So general is the of
cooperative methods in Denmark that
to buy or sell anything his first i'm
pulse Is to form society to do it.
There are more than a thousand CO.
operative dairies in Denmark: there are
| 500 egg societies, and numerous other
cooperative producing and selling as
sociations. Eighty-three per cent of
the bacon was cured in cooperative
factories.
The cooperative societies are thor
oughly organized into declarations. and
the whole business of production and
sale is systematized. The declarations
exercise the closest supervision over
production. High standards of excel
lence are required and long lists of
rules are rfgidly enforced. A bad egg
is occasion for a fine in Danish egg
society-and there are no bad eggs in
Denmark.
In the twenty-five years from 1881
, to 1896 Danish exports increased from
si1.s4o. 900 TO s77.soe. 900. Behind these
