good butter maker, but he must be as
well a bookkeeper, a business man,
and a student of the markets. He
must understand something Of trans
portation and of packing for trans
portation. He must be what we in
America would call a good mixer In

Of contact with customers and mem

Combination Of Concerns.
It has also been determined by ex.
perience that the separate little con-
Germs, some of which are necessarily
managed by men of limited opportu-
nifty, cannot succeed unless they are
federated and supervised and helped
by a central organization. They need
assistance in organization, in finding
the best markets. The l. A. 0. B.
has not only assisted in organizing the
cooperative societies, but receives Pc
riodical reports from the, visits and in
spects them frequently, audits their
accounts, sees that their affairs are
properly conducted, makes sugges-
tions as to markets and other business
problems, and gives council and ad-
vice generally. Some such supervision
must come in America If cooperative
success is to be general and last
ing.
Our Conclusion.
Cooperation has undoubtedly sue
ceeded in Ireland. 1t deserves to sue
ceed because it stands for uniformly
high quality of farm products, for fair
dealing, for just returns to those fur"
nishing the product, for justice to the
consumer, as well as producer, for
good. clean business methods, for
skilled management, for community
loyalty and solidarity. Cooperation
will succeed in the United States
whenever it stands for these things,
If it does not, it will fail. The SOON
er the cooperative enthusiast learns
that cooperation, like every other en-
terprise, must succeed on its merits,
not on some mysterious inherent vir
tue. the better Nothing could be
more unwise at this time than to
preach the doctrine that cooperation
in itself should be introduced any
where and everywhere II 1t is intro
duced before prospective members are
ready to cooperate In a proper spirit
for its success. It aill inevitably fail

Americana In London.

The good American does not feel q
stranger over here, and we regard
him as one of our own family. But
why does he come? Not altogether be
cause the call of common heritage
impels him, not entirely drawn by the
attractions, commercial, artistic, 80
cial and natural, of London and Eng
land. He comes chiefly. perhaps, In
obedience to the historic sense which
is innate IN good Americans Wher
ever the historic sense may best be
satisfied--in Rome, Athens, Paris, Ma
drid or Constantinople-the the
American ia found. He may win his
satisfaction in a frenzied furry, with
guidebooks and binoculars, only hall
digesting the glories that he scamps
That is the defeat of his quality, the
consequences OF the habits of life
which America has thrust upon its
sons. But the historic sense is there
and, even unconsciously, your good
American is its obedient slave.--Lon

Russian army was that Nogi himself
would be thrown against them.
When at last the attack came, there
could be no doubt of where and how
Nogi was striking. At the first point
of contact, the veterans of Port Ar
thur, who thought fighting in the open
was nothing after storming the grisly
heights of the beleaguered fortress, ap
peared suddenly, without warning, on
the Russian flank and well toward the
rear. Their first assault crumpled UP
the Russian defense like paper. With
characteristic Japanese subtility theiI
officers had taught them the battle
cries in the Russian language, and
they advanced, screaming between
their banzais, I'VE are Nogi's men
from Port Arthur" The instant this
fear-inspiring cry was heard on the
Russian flank, the battle was lost. ThG
spirit of despair spread like a prairie
fire, and soon the whole great army
was in retreat, not the retreat of sheer
panic, but the stubborn withdrawal
of men who knew that victory was i'm
possible.-Youths Companion.

CHARGED WITH CALLING ON CEN. VILLA AT AN lNOPPORTUNE
 MOMENT TUESDAY,.
GIVEN REBEL AS ATTORNEY
Story of the Trial Is Greeted with Sneers and Derision on the Ameri- can Side of the River-Bache Said to Be Still Alive.

El Paso Tex, Feb. 21-The rec. ord of the court martial of Wm. g Benton, made public at Juarez today 1 asserts that the Scotchman was pres ent but ne was represented by a res- el officer as attorney and was per. mitted 10 testify and that the session was public.
 He was executed for attempted armed violence against Gen Villa, de- clares the recors, and was found guilty of giving aid and comfort to the enemy by giving them cattle and forage and by giving them informa. ton.
 Benton's friends on this side of the Rio Grande received the report with sneers. They pointed to their knowlede of many years that he guarded against possible serious re, suits of his high spirit and temper by never carrying a pistol The state- ments that Benton was allowed to testify and that the proceedings were public carried no conviction to the men who assert that their friend was deliberately murdered.
 The record opens with the state ment that an extraordinary council of war was convened at 4:15 o'clock fast Tuesday afternoon by Col. Fidel Avila The council convened a court martial, of which Mai Jesus Rodri- guez was president, assisted by four other judges.
 "The accused the report says, was arraigned and having been ad. vised to name some one to defend him. Capt Mariana Tamez was desig- mated for this purpose and was warned to defend Benton Loyalty"
 There was no further mention of any activity on the part of Capt Ia meg
 Witnesses were with Villa at the Manuel E. Banda and Adries Farias.

 vestigation of the killing of William i s. Benton, the British subject, at l Juarez. He announced today that until all facts in the case had been gathered from all available sources no opinion would be expressed by the state department. All informa- tion will be transmitted to the Brit ish government.
 Explanations made by General Villa to Thomas D. Edwards and | George c. Carrothers, the American consular representatives at Juarez together with the courtmartial rec ord. are to be supplemented by fur ther information Instructions went forth to American Consul Letcher at Chihuahua, to get additional details from Villa and it is said that inquiry through independent sources will be carried on at Juarez. Mir. Carroth- CTS is consular agent at Torreon, temporarily assisting MT. EdwardsT Advices received by the state de- paTtment up to late today giving Villas version of the affair were that Benton was armed, had person. ally quarreled with Villa, had been disarmed tried by courtmartlal and executed on the charge of attempting the life of Villa.
 XYtI1ofc ta1a nh ad by him today to the constitutional ist agency here, was unofficially ex- 1 hibited to state department officials and though read with interest, brought no comment. Army officers took particular interest in the ref erence to Benton as Gan armed prowler" and as such not entitled to the protection of the rules of war. fThe armed .prowler" described in "Order 100" of the American army is essentially a guerilla. they ex- plained and one who is caught with in military lines with arms, either engaged in the wanton destruction of property or as part of an invading force. It generally was admitted that if Benton made a murderous as sault on Villa with a weapon he might have been subject to the death penalty; but on that point evi- dence is wanting and army officers are reserying judgment.
 Unless there are other instruc- tions from the foreign office, the British embassy here will make no further move pending the outcome of the investigation which the state department has undertaken. It is understood that Ambassador Spring Rice has emphasized the unofficial character of the representations he has made to the state department

gar, and considering the constitution alists as rebels and bandits.
 Villa" the report continues, states that because Benton was a foreigner his property has not been confiscat- ed but he must remain out of the country because he was an elegant destructive of the peace and prosper ity of the country"
 "The accused answered in harsh and violent terms and asserted that no human power could keep him out of Mexico or cause him to desert his property to further depredations.
 Then he said he was as good man as Villa, and at the same moment he drew a pistol from his hip pocket But the general was ready and jump ed for him and struck and at the same time the persons present leaped on him, that ne might not make an attempt on the life of Gen. Villa
 Witnesses were convinced that had they not been present the general would have been murdered. The rec ord gives Belton's testimony indirect ly as follows:
 He said he came at 10 or II o'clock in the morning to see Gen. Villa and inform him that revolutionists or at times parties of bandits had done much damage to his ranch, destroying property and stealing cattle.~ He had come to tell Gen. Villa of these things but the general accused him of being friendly to the federals and suggest ed that the rebels but Los Remedies, as witness was not wanted in Mexico. Witness told Gen, Villa that he Wac unjust and several other things that annoyed the general, but witness had no intention of harmng the general or any one else. He said he had loth- ing to do with Huerta or the red flag generals and was indifferent to the politics of the country. This was all he had to say"
 The verdict, abounding in repeti tions of legal phraseology, repeats the charges and finds the accused guilty. 1t also appears that Villas name is more ornate than generally supposed. He is mentioned several times as Gen. D. Francisco Villa"
