The above equipment Is ample for
10000 pounds week. The two hun.
dred families will not required over
one-half of that capacity, but smaller
laundry would not have cost sufficient
~ less to install or operate to justify
any reduction in the equipment.
This gives the laundry chance to
handle the work Of non-members on
commercial basis of six cents pound.
The excess capacity gives an earning
possibility of about $500 week. The
labor cost will. be less than $50 week,
and other expenses, including fuel,
starch and soap, not over $25 a week,
making total expense, running at full
capacity, of about SIS week
1t is estimated that enough outside
work will be done to produce the $75
a week to cover all running expenses,
stockholders may get their own wash
ing done free.
Only 1880 pounds a week would
have to be Numbered for non-members
at six cents a pound to cover the
weekly running expenses. An excess
of sales to outsiders beyond the 1880
pounds will give the stockholders cash
profits in addition to their own laun-
dry free. ANY shortage of business
under 1880 pounds will measure what
it will cost the stockholders to- have
their washing done. For example L
sales to outsiders are $50 q week, in
stead Of SITS, the cost of the washing
for the stockholders will be ten cents
a family. And that ten cents in
cludes the supplies. such as fuel,
starch and soap.
II is expected that the plan Of the
Allen county, Kansas, farmers will be
copied throughout the state and event
ua1ly spreau other states, and thus
materially lift the burden Of house
hold work and worry from thousands
Of farmers. wives and daughters.
When universally adopted, Monday
will no longer be known as washday.
and the family "wash-out on the line"
will pass from the landscape.
Power for this cooperative wash
tub will be supplied by gasoline en-
CINE, and not by the arms and back
of some overworked woman. Such
laundries, when they become common.
will give leisure to the mothers and
daughters, and they may have time to
devote to other things.
The proper method to adopt in the
management of these laundries is to
encourage the women to take charge.
If this is done there will be no more
complaint about the destruction of
clothing by strong soaps and chem
icals and by careless handling. Until
women take a hand In the co-opera-
tive movement, 1t will not achieve it's
greatest usefuiness.-The Co-Opera,

Longest-Lived Horses.

An authority on horses says that
the gray will live the longest and
that roans come next in order.
Blacks, he asserts, seldom live to be
over twenty and creams rarely ex-
coed ten or fifteen. It is matter
of common observation that grays and
sorrels often live to useful old age
AS to the alleged short terms of the
other colors, there is room for discus
sion.

be used in several ways, especially in
soups. Many people do not appreciate
the value of this crop because thew
do not know how to prepare them

NECESSITY FOR ADJUSTMENTS.


The first thing a wise mother does
for a fretful child is to amuse it and
divert its mind from it's trouble. She
sings sweet little songs, tells it fairy
stories or Mother Goose rhymes, or
calls it's attention to surrounding OBJ
jects. This Is the great value of what
we call the objective" A purely sub
!ective mind, with no operative
safety valve, is either deranged or on
the borderland of insanity. Wipe out
the objective and the whole world
would go mad. No one understands
this great truth in life better than
those who care for the mentally defec-
tive.
If the child could not be pleased
with rattle and tickled with a straw
what would you do for It? Could you
do anything if you failed to arouse
any interest in it's mind?
This, think, establishes firmly the
legitimacy Of amusements. whether
from books, reading. games, the stage,
music and singing, or outdoor sports.
We are only grown up children and
our natures demand objects to quiet
and soothe the fretfulness that arises
from the friction of daily struggles for
existence.
No one MAJ can justly choose the
kind of amusement his neighbor shall
be allowed, nor what recreation or en-
tertainment he shall indulge in on GER
tain days. The great variety Of Sunday
entertainments now freely INDUCED in
makes the Sunday question one of diff
ficulty.
We have our Chautauqua entertain
ments on Sunday and a gate-fee charg-
ed. A concession Is made to an outside
man and he sells cigars, soft drinks
and other articles on Sunday. We do
not object. We permit many stores to
open and sell on Sunday. We permit
the public park, Glen Miller, to give
entertainments and sell on Sunday
Boats are hired and paid for on Sun
day Cigar stores and card tables run
on Sunday.
This all goes to show how hypocriti-
cal we are if we oppose the finest and
most elevating of all amusements, the
Sunday picture show.
For my part l look upon Sunday az
ternoon picture shows as decidedly
moral and for the general good. Men
who can laugh and be amused are the
safest citizens. Such men Caesar
wished to surround himself with, for
he thought men who could not laugh
would be conspirators and plotters. A
good laugh is both moral and health.
full. A we'll entertained crowd is safer
than lot of bored men and women. A
mob could be quelled If you could
make it laugh. Laughter in babes,
children and grown up men and WON.
en- is the divinest thing in all the
world and no day can be too good to
indulge in it.
