Cooperative Laundrywork.

Thanks to the compulsion OF the high
cost OF living, CO. operative societies, by
which Europeans have been saving mon
ey for more than fifty years, are at last
beginning TO multiply in this country.
In the farming town OF Chatiield, IN
Minnesota, there has been a cooperative
creamery for twenty years. Its success
has been owing to competent manage
ment, to the willingness of the members
to pull together, and TO a close adher-
ence to the true cooperative principles
of one vote for each member,-rather
than one vote for each share OF Stock
and division of profits according to the
amount OF milk each member supplies.
That OF course is much, but it is not ex-
ceptional. II is the sequel that is espe-
cially interesting.
The idea OF a cooperative laundry
grew out of the circumstance that The
creamery plant was used only in the al
ternoon, and that much OF 1.-THE engine,
the water supply, the sewer system, and
the facilities for heating water could be
utilized for otherpurpoSes. Accordingly,
the company saved its dividends for six
wears, until, in 1912, they amounted TO
$1,000, and then started the laundry, with
the same men as officers who were OFF,
GERS of the creamery association. The
two businesses were kept entirely dis
tinct. The price OF shares was fixed at
S.. Stockholders bought from one share
to five shares each. There are now 224
shareholders. During the first year the
laundry did more than five thousand lam
lily washingS at an average cost OF nine
ty-five cents each.
The best recommendation OF the enter
prise is the enthusiasm OF the women,
chiefly farmers wives, who share in ii.
They find that the laundry does their.
washing better than they can do it them
selves, and that the time they formerly
gave to the work is now available for
more remunerative or higher occupations.
"Blue Monday" on the farms OF Chat
field is now rosy with the flush OF hap
pineSS.

II the railroads of the United States had
paid SIC, 900, the maximum amount fixed
by law as damages for death, for every
life they took during the year which ended
June 80, they would have paid SlOl 800
600. The records OF the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission show that for The year
Just ended there were 10, $50 persons kill
ed and more than 10000 were injured in
the same period. Most OF these were
railroad employees. The figures as TO
the number killed and injured indicate
the railroads are more deadly than war,
pestilence and famine combined. More
than 10000 persons have been killed on
American railroads during the last Is
years and more than 100000 injured.
Figure that out and see what it means to
families left dependent, bereaved and
their futures changed, TO insurance COM
panieS and to the railroads themselves,
and you will not wonder that the Inter
state Commerce Commission is taking the
matter seriously.

The New Utilities Commission.

AT least that much of the agony is
tover-Governor Haines has named
lanother public utilities commission.
Now If, as SO frequently asserted,
there is to be scrap in the governors
council, that is another story. Be that
as 1t may the Governor has chung to
his Interpretation Of the public utilities
law and has named three lawyers
Judge Benjamin F. Cleaves of Bidde-
ford, chairman; Hon. William B. Skel-
ton of Lewiston. and Hon. Samuel W.
Gould of skowhegan.
The Governor. in the first place,
wanted a larger commission but the
Legislature thought differently. It
provided latitude for the securing of
experts of all grades, but made the
commission small and salaries large
enough so that the best legal talent in
the State could be called to the States
service.
The Governor believes that legal ex-
perts of unquestioned honesty ana
ability are the first requisites of the
laws intent. He aimed to name men
above the accusation of having cor
poration or business strings attached.
AS to the character and efficiency
of the appointees there can be no
question. The personal lives of these
men are above criticism, and none
will deny their ability and desire to
serve their State faithfully.
So far as this paper is concerned, we
believe the three men named would
make a strong commission that would
serve the State to the best of its wide
ly recognized ability.

And freekies, too!

Do the Scriptures Foretell This WARP

elects sake, those days shall be short

destruction but the end is not yet.
That is apparent, even to the news
reader who has never had any use for
Scripture prophecy. Friday morning S
news readers learned that the war
zone had been broadened to embrace
all Turkey. The Sick Man of the
East has been reached by the over
turn What nation shall next be in
yoIved-Itaiy or Greece?
In the Christ's prophetic discourse
delivered upon the Mount of Olives
shortly before His crucifixion, in reply
TO the question of His disciples,
What shall be the sign of Thy COM
ing and of the end of the world? ?"
Matthew. Mark and Luke record the
answer in almost identical language,
the wars ard rumors of wars, for ma
ton shall rise against nation and
kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be famines and pestilences, and
earthquakes and divers places. These
are the beginning of sorrows. But the
end is not yet. And many
false prophets shall rise and deceive
many. And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many shall wax
cold. And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world as a
witness unto all nations; then shall the
end come"
world In this discourse signifies the
end Of the age or dispensation, and not
the physical earth. 1t is not for us to
know, but We are as well informed as
were His disciples and we might think
that they understood in that hour that
Jesus meant that when these wars,
and rumors. of wars, famines, pesti-
lences and earthquakes" occur with
such unwonted frequency and in so
unlocked for and unusual degree as to
amaze and disturb the world. then the
crisis of the end might be at hand.
MEMS hearts failing them for fear anu
.or seeing those things that are COM
.as on the EARTH
But what may we expect that lend"
to be? In these days of peace pray
ing and war preparing hypocrisy, we
might look for physical upheaval that
would so terrify all the inhabitants of
the earth as to make them forget their
narrow selfishness and make covenant
Of peace and righteous, love an
other association of all His people for
ever. That would be His day.
But Is war to be first universal?
What may We expect if Scripture
prophecy is to be fulfilled? Read the
second chapter of Isaiah. Read Luke
81: 34-3e.
