Without word, Judith stepped to the rail and,
as Barcus luffed, swung herself oversize into the
dory.
Immediately Alan cast on, and as the little boat
sheered on, Barcus, with a sigh Of relief brought
the SeaVenture once more back upon her course.

His first glance discovered the wheel deserted,
the woman with back to him standing at the

cester fisherman -overhauled with such ease that

squarely for the smaller vessel.
Bewildered, he darted to the girls side, with a
shout demanding to know what was the matter.
She turned to him a face he hardly recognized
but still he didn't understand. The inevitable
inference seemed a thing unthinkable; his brain
faltered when asked to credit It. Only when he

did Alan begin to appreciate what had happened.
Even so, It was with the feeling that all the
world and himself as well had gone stark, raving
mad that he seized the girl and, despite her strug
giles, tore her away from the rail before she had
succeeded in unknotting the painter.

COOPERATION IN DENMARK
Principle Has Net Only Been Applied
to Production and Marketing, but
Also to Purchasing.

Cooperation in Denmark has been a
logical development as the Danish peo-
pie have become educated in the habit
of working together. This coopera-
ton has not only been applied to the
production and marketing phases of
agriculture, but has likewise been APP
applied to the purchasing of all man
ner of supplies. All Of the co-opera-
tive societies in Denmark are grouped
under one supply organization known
as the United Cooperative Supply AS
sociation. which comprises 500 local
societies. There is also maintained
In Denmark a Farmers Cooperative
Purchase Federation with 1000 far
mer members who buy all manner of
supplies and sell all kinds of produce
through a central agency in Copen-
hagen. The complete organization of
Danish agriculture and the application
OF the cooperative idea to all of its
phases are shown by the fact that 1t
Is not all uncommon for one Danish
farmer to belong to nine or ten coop
erative societies, each society being
limited to one single function. These
societies in turn are organized into
declarations and in many cases these
declarations serve as educational cen
tiers for the distribution of information
as well as for the specific purpose for
which they were organized.

want to emphasize ona factor that
is the keynote Of the whole system
of business co operation, and that Is
the steadfastness of the members. A
cooperative business organization can
only succeed by its members support
ing it in adversely as well as prosper
ity. Opposition is certain to arise and
private interests will do all they can
to disrupt the system. In the organi-
cation of the association there should
be some binding provision in the by
laws signed by every member.
Voluntary membership is suicidal to
a cooperative association. and unless
members are willing to stay by the or
ganization and support the managers
and board Of directors 1t is sure to fail.
In an organization formed for market
ing farm products, for example. the
members should be required to sign an
agreement giving the association ex-
elusive right to market all OF their
products.
