FARMERs AND COOPERATION

1t is astonishing to note how much
further advanced in cooperation the
Old World is than we of the New.
Indeed, we don't know that mean
ing of the word cooperation in the
| United States, the boosted home of
progress, while there is hardly
country in Europe, no matter how be-
nighted, which has not applied the
principle on a large scale.
Take Russia for instance. We
Americans are apt to look down on
Russia with mingled pity and con-
tempt. Yet Russia has adopted the
cooperative principle on an immense
scale, and is making a tremendous
success of it. OF course the RUSSIAN
way wouldn't be the American way,
by any means, but the success of the
Russian way is highly significant.
In brief, Ambassador Guild reports
the Russian system to be an. insti
tuition of cooperative loan societies
among the farmers, conducted under
governmental patronage and super
vision, by which the farmer. at no
cost to himself is given the benefit
of loans from his society on long time
and easy terms, and at the same time
is permitted to share in his society's
profits. The loan societies are of two
classes-the loan savings associa-
tions and the societies of small cred
it. They are both cooperative, and
the aim of each is to lend small
amounts to the farmers through gov
ernmental assistance. The difference
between the two classes of societies
is that the members of the loan saw
ing associations are obliged to make
deposits of small amount in order
to form a reserve capital for their So
ciety, while members of the societies
of small credit do not participate per-
sonally in the formation of their So
ciety's capital. The latter societies
are adapted to the poorer and more
sparsely settled communities. The
management of all the societies is
placed under the control of the gov
eminent ministry of finance.
The modus operandi is, in detail,
as follows, as stated by Ambassador
Guild.
When a group of twenty or more
individuals wishes to form coopera-
tive loan society a petition to that eff
feet is presented to the Government.
A Government inspector then makes
personal investigation of the re-

There Is a Conspiracy On
To Help Keep You Clean

must be given due creit for this
development of their business.
The Laundrymen's National Asso.
citation of America has been inspired
by all the refining processes of civil.
ization and joyfully assisted in ban
ishing the shirt with the glossy finish
the finish that meant polishing
ruinous to linen. 1t has revolution
lied family habits and methods, made
clean linen a constant and ever-re-
curing quantity; and banished the
annoyances of wash day. 1t has
served the men and converted the
women, enlisted the interest and
patronage of the entire family. In
short, it has raised, purified and ex-
panded laundry service until it has
become a necessary and matter-of-
fact incident 81 in every household
management. @
The association wants you to have
just the service it advocates, whether
your weekly package includes merely
a few collars and shirts or is a bun
die of many kinds of garments. If
you are not getting this service you
should make a careful examination
of the laundries in your town and
pick out the one that is modern in
method, open to inspection, sanitary
in conduct and alert to all the pro-
gressive means and measures appli-
cable to it's business.
The Laundrymen's National Asso-
citation of America is not boosting
any special laundry. It's purpose is
educational 1t merely wants you to
know about this great movement in
the laundry work, whot it srould be
the laundry world, what it should be
credited with and what it stands for
They who would keep you clean
stand for service and they want you
to benefit by thai service.
If you want to know more about
the Importance OF the Laundry indus

They are member of this association
and will be glad to show you

Do you know that several thousand
business men have banded together
to help keep you clean No iusinu-
ations are intended; neither is the
matter humorous. 1t is a big, serious
fact-one of the most significant in
modern business.
The members of the Laundrymen's
National Association OF America are
the men who have, so to speak, start
ed a campaign for cleanliness and
they include as keen, earnest and
capable men as you can find any
where in this country.
These men want you to have clean
collars and clean shirts. They see to
it that you get them-and more, too.
They are modern laundrymen who
have made study of this young but
rapidly developing profession. They
understand the advantages of scien-
tific application, of modern machin-
cry, of sanitation. They are progress
sive, alert, eager, open to all the
ideas and means of progress that can
be applied to their business.
That is why they insist on having
your shirt and your collar right. They
insist on giving it the right domestic
finish and they insist, also, that ev-
cry detail shall be just SO.
Laundering linen has become an
art and a science combined, and it. is
to foster the right processes and to
exploit the right kind of laundry that
the Laundrymen's National associa
ton was formed.
Perhaps you have never realized
just how much there is to the laun-
dry business when it is properly con-
Quoted. Possibly you have, on occa-
sions, sent your dress shirt to the
laundry a moment or two after you
found you would need it and then
expected it to get back on time and
in first-class condition.
1t takes system to produce results
when such demands are made. 1t
means that perfect system is en-
ployed when you get your own shirt
and not your neighbours. The con-
scientious and capable laundrymen

important work in the back to the

movement in about the only practi-
cal way it can be assisted-making
real farmers of our farm boys. Twen-
ty-five young men have just been
graduated and these young men
came from all the counties of the
State, and even twelve per cent Of
the towns are represented. Better
than all is the fact that practically
all of them are going back home to
farm; and better still, the enter
ing class is as large as the school can
accommodate. Farming is not long

Boy Scouts Aid Search

Last Wednesday the Canaan Boy Scouts were ordered out by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades to take the 1885 train for East Canaan and go to Canaan Mountain with some Canaan and East Canaan men to hunt for MT. Talmadge Pulyer. who disappeared on the prsvi. ous Monday.
 On arriving there the boys divided in to groups under one or two men, having about six boys in each group. They spread out through the woods and thor oughiy secured the section near the old farm where MT. Pulver used to live. Before getting into the thick woods the boys found some tracks which looked to be about the size of his foot. A little later one of the parties found a handker. chief. but this proved not to be his q,
 The boys spread out from ths foot of the mountain to the top. One party went to to the lake to learn if anything was to be seen, but no trace of the miss. ing man was found there.
 About 4:30 the boys met at Stratton' $ store and hiked it home to Canaan un' der MT. J. 0. Roraback, who is one oi the assistant scout masters.
