COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard of ghosts. but none
Of US have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fiends::" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until dooms day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds of thousands Of
drug-habit cases, including opium. NOR.
phine. cocaine, alcohol, etc., say that
they have never seen case where the
use of Coca.Cola has SO fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute a
habit In the true sense of the word. AL.
though millions Of glasses of Coca Cola
are drunk every year, no Coca.Cola
fiends have ever made themselves WIS.,
ible at the doors Of the sanitariums for
the treatment OF drug habits.
The Coca. Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw.
berry habit and the ice cream habit
People drink Coca.Cola first because
they see 1t advertised and thereafter
because 1t tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get 1t and contentedly
do without 1t when they can't get It,
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings

MORE COOPERATION NEEDED
Strict Conformity to Business Prlncl.
pies and Loyal Support Of Officers
Are Essential.

Never before has there been great
.r demand for the right kind Of CO.
operation among farm communities.
1t Is indeed broad subject and SO
many factors enter into 1t that 1t Is
impossible to lay down any definite
rules that can be followed which
will bring about immediate success,
but there are many plans OF co-opera.
ton that will bring immediate results.
The farming community that is doing
the largest amount OF things In farm
development, are the sections where
cooperation among farmers is being
followed.
We believe that the basis of com.
mercial cooperation In any line is
confidence in the organization, says
the Western Farmer. Any organiza.
ton to succeed must be run strictly
on business lines, Where Farmers
Cooperative societies have been sue
cesstul In the United States through
strict conformity to business princi.
pies with the organization handled
by competent men and given loyal
support by the members. 1t Is true
that often these organizations meet
with failure, but where one organiza.
tion fails many more succeed and each
year sees greater success. During
the past ten years the work OF Co
operation has been felt not only In
the marketing Of crops. but In the Sc.
curing Of legislation which directly
affects the farmer and his needs.
Through this cooperation have come
cooperative grain warehouses, CO.
operative creameries. mutual fire In.
surance companies. fruit shipping as
sociatlons. and farmers telephone
companies. The reason that the work
Of cooperation is progressing is due
to the fact that greater attention Is
being paid to the business side OF
the organization. A thorough under.
standing should first Of all be under.
stood regarding the basis upon which
the organization is formed.
A cooperative start has been made
In this work Of cooperation through.
out the country, and this work Is be.
Ing felt. Western Farmer again urges
the farmers to get together on issues
that concerns their business. They
need to do this for protection and to
promote their profits In the sale OF
farm products. They need to pull
together. Cooperation among the
farmers means better business meth

Did you ever stop to think that tine
farmers pay about one.half Of all the
taxes collected and II any class Of
people need cooperation the farmers
are the ones. The heads OF the farm
home should be thinking about the
cooperative movement and get In
touch with everything that tends to.

in which the farmer and his family Is

chances that such force would have
Of finding sustenance. Then little
groups of soldiers have been started
from various possible landing places
with instructions to make their way
as swiftly as possible to given points
along the canal, mapping the country
they traverse. In order to determine
what an enemy could do.
The result Of this work Of investiga.
tlon SO far, briefly and wholly unofii.
cially stated, is that the shores of the
Atlantic ocean, within good many
miles Of the zone, are impracticable
for landing force because OF the ma.
ture Of the country; that a landing
could be made easily on the Pacific
side some distance west of the zone,
but between there and the canal the
Jungle is SO dense as to be virtually
impassable; that the dangerous dis.
trict is that lying Immediately east OF
the zone on the Pacific side. On the
last mentioned shores an enemy could
well land an army. and the semi.open,
rolling savannas between there and
the canal would give easy access to
the zone. ....
The army officers on the isthmus
make no secret OF the fact that their
Investigations are being carried on
mainly with the Japanese In mind.
How those islanders could land there
and what they could do II they did
land are the problems engaging the
attention Of Colonel Greene and his
men Of the Tenth.
One defensive measure that has
been adopted ia the clearing out OF
practically all inhabitants from the
zone, except at the ends Of the canal
and in several OF the larger towns,
which. as have said. may be kept as
quarters for the soldiers. All holdings
Of land are being valued by a mixed
commission and the residents moved
away. When the canal is completed
the jungle, much OF which has been
cleared out. will be allowed to grow up
again, for the experience Of centuries
has shown that that jungle itself Is a
powerful defense against an invading
army. The practicable roads through
1t are few and far between, the
streams not navigable, and the growth
OF trees, brush and great vines 30
dense that 1t is virtually impossible
for body Of men. to say nothing Of
cannon and supply wagons. A rapid
dash through the Jungle would be en-.
tirely out Of the question. and when
the zone Is deserted all food supplies
will have disappeared. b.
Some fear has been expressed that
a few men could land. make their way
quietly to the canal and blow up the
locks. But II seems unlikely that they
could get ashore and transport to the
canal. undetected. enough explosives
to do any great damage.
On the whole. the canal will be quite
adequately protected-provided It d
not attacked too soon.
The Raymer enterprise., 1913-08-07

Culebra, C. 1.-THE strongest de-
Tense Of the Panama canal, in my opin.
Ion, Is the fact that hostile vessel
must come into 50O.foot channel long
before 1t is within striking distance Of
the vital points Of the canal. the locks,
and in doing so must pass within easy
range Of the forts that are being built
to guard the entrances"
So spoke Colonel Goethals when
asked him as to the vulnerability Of
the canal in time Of war. Continuing,
be said:
"The naval power Of the nations is
20 nicely balanced now that no one
Of them would be willing to risk the
destruction Of single battleship by
attacking those forts, which will be
equipped with powerful guns, and Of
course the accuracy Of guns on shore
Is much greater than that OF those on
moving vessels. / do not believe the
forts would be attacked from the sea
before the enemy had fought and won
q naval victory"
The forts of which Colonel Goethals
spoke are nearing completion and the
emplacements for many of the heavy
guns already have, been constructed.
No one not officially connected with
the work is permitted to approach
them, but venture to say that in case
Of urgent necessity the guns could be
hurried down to the isthmus and
mounted ready for emergency service
within a very short time.

FARMERS LACK IN CAUTION
Ordinary, Everyday Word, but Ono
Frausht With Deep and Far.
Reaching Importance.

To Officials and Members OF the
Unon:
Caution Just an ordinary, every
day word, but one fraught with deep
and far-reaching Importance.
1t lis the one thing farmers lack
above all other qualities. Caution they
have in plenty in certain directions,
but usually not In the direction 1t
should be applied.
They are over-cautious about hon.
est!y accepting plans and organiza.
tions within their own ranks, calling
for cooperation, mutual aid and self
sacrificesN l know, of course, it is
due In measure to the fact that his
bump of caution has become abnorm.
ally developed.
But. on the other hand, the wordy,
windy. promising politician seems
able to wipe out this bump of eau.
tion every election day. Fooled time
and time again by broad promises
before the election. only to be forgot
ten and ignored after the election,
yet the farmers caution bump fails
to show when the same deceiving,
selfish politician comes forward again
and with the same old empty prom
ises arouses his enthusiasm to high
pitch, to such high pitch that he
throws caution, the absolute knowl.
edge that he is dealing with rascal.
to the winds and votes once more for
the idle promiser.
Now, as l stated. farmers are slow
10 accept and take hold OF move
ments within their own ranks for
self.advancement, because they have
been fooled in the past. Why the
same theory don't work with them
as regards this scheming politician
Is something too profound for my un.
travelling. But the truth Of 1t is too
we'll known for argument.
That old designing, crafty politician
is mighty humble. mighty cordial.
eager to promise anything asked when
before you seeking your vote. But
just see him In Washington. as l
have. There he laughs at your gull.
hifity; sneers at your confidence in his
promises; openly faunts you and your
cause.
You are waking up bit along that
line, I'll confess, but only after con-
stant hammering on you. Some men
who have stood in places of power for
years and sneered at you and your
needs have felt your righteous wrath
and gone into the oblivion they have
long merited.
But others remain. Many Of them
are going to come as humble suppli-
cants for your suffrage next year.
They wear the outward garb and sem.
blance Of real and true friends to you
and your cause. They are oily, shrewd
plausible. Every artlflce Of the de-
signing self.seeker will be used on
you again.
VIII you stand for him? VIII you

my credulous brother, wake up, wake
up. Put on your thinking cap. read.

that he will do all in his power hon
