The enforcement Of such rules as

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

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 a
brand. The atlixing Of the brand GER
tifies quality and makes the article
transferable at fixed figure, just as

ceives in the mint makes 1t a sov-
ereign which passes current from hand

ment that he never knew bad com

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,
have been also established, 80 that
the exact condition may be brought to

young woman who herself was one Of
his victims. The young woman, Miss
Anna l.. Squire of Chicago, secured re-
markahly good results considering the
circumstances under which she worked.
Her pictures show clearly the amazing
GOODNESS Of the robber.
Knowing that none Of the tourists
was armed, because of the Government
restrictions against carrying weapons
in the park. the bandit apparently felt
perfectly safe. While he searched the
purses his rifle was thrown on the
Ground, out within easy reach. on
orders of the robber the tourists kept
on the opposite side of little gulch
from himself so that he would have
had ample time in which to recover his
rifle had there been any disposition on
the part of the men in the party to
Interrupt the robbery.
Miss Squire was in the fifth coach
that was robbed. They arrived on the
scene about 10 o'clock and were
uStound, Il to find themselves covered
vs. the bandits gun. Following his In
structiuns they descended from the
coach and surrendered their purses.
After giving up their belongings they
uined the other tourists across the
pulch ON a bank overlooking the scene
of the robbery.
When the first shock OF the encounter
had passed Miss Squire decided to take
some pictures. Other tourists PLEADED
with her not to attempt to secure PIC
lures, but she decided not to overlook
the opportunity. Concealed pehIhh
bushes she pushed her camera throuS I
the foliage and snapped the holdup man
until her roll Of film was exhausted.
Miss Squire gave vivid account OF
her experience. She and her party had
delightful time while In the park, she
SAYS, even including the time they were

rohbery they left Old Faithful at about
s \. NJ. Having seat up alongside
the driver OF the coach she chattcd with
him about the possibility of being held
up. whether from force of habit OF
not. the driver assured her that there
was really a holdup in the park every
six years, and the last one was in 1908.
The driver went ON, while the people in
the coach laughed and suggested tina;
they were due for such an experience,
since the six years had passed.
Suddenly there was "A commotion In
