COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES GROW
AS LIVING COST INCREASES

A noteworthy economic feature TO
which attention is directed in the re-
ports of consular officers regarding
the cost of living abroad is the effect
of cooperation in reducing that cost.
Reports from France, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Denmark are includ.
ed in an installment sent to Congress
by President Taft this week It APP
pears from the information collected
that the burden of living expenses
has directed attention to, and aug.
nented the membership of, the CO.
operative societies, more especially in
France and Belgium. The tendency
seems to be toward small societies,
and the great majority of the asso-
Citations represent groceries and bak-
cries In France the most successful
dlstributive societies are in the manu-
featuring cities of the northeast and
central sections, while the operation
of agricultural societies has been es-
recially successful in the southern
part, To the latter class of associa-
tons the French government has ex-
tended encouragement in many ways,
as, for example, by furnishing expert
advice granting subventions and per
hitting long-term loans by agricultu-
raj credit associations. Highgrade
farm machinery is furnished from
the SURPRISES or is loaned gratuitous-
ly or upon the payment of nominal
fees. Industrial plants owned and
operated by the workers are not UNI
common in France. The French CO.
operative societies usually sell at pri-
ces which are neither higher nor low
er than those of private stores, but
they have a tendency to keep prices

WEEDS SWEETHEART
OF HIS SCHOOL DAYS.

LOS ANGELES, May 15.-It took
Charles Carter, claim agent of the Los
Angeles railway, twenty-five years to
find out, but he finally decided that
Miss Cora Ireland of Ringold, Ia, is
the woman he ought to marry. Miss
Ireland, after an equal length of time,
arrived at the same conclusion and
they were married at the home of
DIR. W. f. Carter younger brother
OF Charles, last night.
A quarter of a century ago in Rim
gold, Carter and Miss Ireland met in
high school and, to use their words
they had a case" Carter later moved
to Nebraska and then here.
At first he communicated with her
frequently, and then letters began to
fall off and finally ceased.
A few days ago he learned from a
mutual friend that ISIS Ireland was
here Carter called taXicab. They
met, settled the question in five min
utes, and got a license. DR.. Carter
learned of it and he told them he
would never consent TO persons forty
years of age "eloping" and if Charles
wished his younger brothers consent
he would have to be married at the
physicians home.
