to scrap with her fiance concerning
his folks. His mother has the best
right in the world to influence him
while he's single. If he has young
sister whom he has loved all his life
he cannot wholly ignore her wishes 10
please a sweetheart.
A man likes a sensible, reasonable
girl, one who is not suspicious OF MS
motives and always questioning them
either sulky or having downright
quarrel with him for no good reason.
For instance if young man has
sister who is calling upon friends ana
asks him to fetch her home, his sweet
heart should not raise an objection
if he quits her home half an hour
earlier for this purpose than is his
wont.
Many a girl has lost an excellent
lover by declaring he will have to
choose between his sister and herself
and absenting herself the evening
after when he calls.
He whose affection is strongest may
experience a change of heart over
mere trife, if he has stubborn, IN
reasonable sweetheart, who appears
to love to scrap better than anything
else, though she knows this torment
is growing unbearable to him. The
girl who stops to reason the matter
out calmly must see that even the
most ardent love cannot blind a man
long to such a grave fault; that he
will realize he would have little peace
with a wife who cared so little for
his feelings as to scrap over every
little trif1e.
It's a habit which grows upon a
woman. 1t is easily checked in the
beginning, but, like the avalanche,
impossible to stem later on. Yet wives
of this kind wonder why home loses
its fascination for their husbands
and they stay at the club with
boon companions until the wee
sma' hours, as it we're. The wom-
an with harried thoughts cannot
expect to retain her beauty long.
The girl who has lost one good
lover by scrapping should take warn
ing. One man might endure it awhile,
but it would soon become irksome to
spend an evening with her. It's the
girls who don't scrap whose society
men seek.

NO FAMILY TIES

"Perhaps in some long twilight hour,
Like those we have known of old,
When shadows gather round you,
And your present friends grow cold,
You may stretch your hands out toward
me
All! you will know not when
shall nurse my love and keep 1T
Faithfully for you till then"
There is no man more to be pitleo
than he who has no family ties, VINO
must feed upon the friendship OF
strangers or go heart hungry. WITH
out kith or kin in some part of the
great wide world he is like a ship
without a compass on the great tur-
bulent ocean of life. The closest OF
friends have interests apart from MS
own. Others are nearer still ana
dearer to them than is he. The man
who is alone in the world must mo
his own pleasures as best he can.
There is not one human being VINO
would make a great sacrifice for him
and be glad of the opportunity 10
serve him as one who was bound by
kinship ties. If he meets with re-
verses of fortune, the friends whom
he relied upon, would not follow him
for the sake of his companionshlp
from luxurious rooms at his club to a
bleak room in a tenement. There are
few human friendships that would
stand such test Only those VINO
are flesh of his flesh, blood of his
blood, would hold him as dear IN
poverty as in wealth. No lone man
ever knows peace and comfort in his
heart until he anchors his affections
to a woman.
Then commences the delight OF
homemaking., He has place to come
TO. He has cemented another human
heart unto his own. When children
come to him they form his world, he
is no longer wanderer, dependent
upon the companionshfp OF strangers.
Within the four walls Of the home
which ne has builded are human
hearts with love for him so deep
and so strange that they make his
lie one long, continued CLEAN OF sun

As degrees r.. and afiX the control la
bel To no butter that exceeds the 10
per cent. limit OF moisture.
The enforcement OF such rules as
this tending to result in high grade
products is what is meant by con
troll Il is another of the big lessons
that Ireland has to impart to pros
pective Co-operators. And remember
this: No stock company or private
creamery ever yet was able TO control
the quality Of butter by controlling
every step back to the feed before the
COW eats 1t. Consequently, no private
ly owned creamery can make such but
ter as cooperative butter.
Brands Must Be Used.
1t is not enough that the inherent
quality is high. The quality must be
evidenced in some way readily recog-
nizable by the public. Consequently
a system of brands and labels has
been devised for all products. BY an
educational process covering years the
public as well as dealers have been
taught that the brand of cooperation
stands for quality. Consumers are
taught to demand this brand as an
evidence of quality. Retailers find that
the brand sells the product without
advertising. 1t is therefore the pol
icy of Irish cooperation to have
brand. The affixing of the brand GER
titles quality and makes the article
transferable at a fixed figure, just as
the impress which the gold disk re-
ceives in the mint makes it SOW
ereign which passes current from hand
to hand.
An attorney, whose business has
been largely to investigate American
bankrupt concerns makes the state
ment that he never knew bad COM
mercial failure where there was not
either dishonesty or lack of bookkeep-
ing methods. Bad failures come only
where no one is fully informed as TO
the exact condition of the business.
The Irish co-operators fully recognize
this principle. Certain standard forms
OF bookkeeping have been worked out
and largely adopted; the best methods
of keeping the books, and of making
summaries and reports for audit,
haYe been also established, so that
the exact condition may be brought to
the attention of the members OF the
concern at any time, AS result we
find everywhere throughout the coop
erative enterprises of Ireland surpris-
ingly efficient methods of accounting.
The /. A. o. S. and its supervisory sys-
ter are largely responsible for this
situation.
One of the greatest difficulties en-
countered was that of obtaining skill
ed managers for the various co-opera-
tive concerns. But skilled AMI intel
ligent they must be in ord civ, in
