FEELING STRENGTH OF UNION
Various Ways In Which Term "co-
operation" Can Be Applied and
What IL 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 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 q 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-
lug With other ballots will achieve
more than the loudest shoutings of one
voice alone.
After working together with others

parent that to cooperate" may mean
