Farm cooperation.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Farm co-operation-espec for credit
p1rposes-is pretty much a German inyen-
tion but the conditions under which It
evolved In Germany are very different
from those in the United States. In this
country only 10000 farms--or roughly one
farm out OF eight-are less than 20 acres
In extent. The typical American farm is
OF all our farms falling in that class In
Germany, on the other hand, more than
100000 farms, or about three-quarters of
all farms, are less than 13 acres in extent.
These small farmers usually live in Will
ages, from which they go out to their. tiny
so they are constantly In contact with
one another. Meeting to talk over affairs
of common interest Is a matter OF daily
occurrence. And when the cooperative
movement sprang up they were in far
worse plight than the majority OF Ameri-
tain credit on any tolerable terms. Only
by standing together could they survive at
Cooperation Is more difficult here, both
because farmers live much farther apart
and because they can make a better shift
at standing alone than the German FARM
ers. 1t is significant that rural co-opera-
ton has been most successful In this coun-
try among fruit and vegetable growers,
where the holdings are usually small and
cooperation Is the only alternative to

jecting cooperation when he could exist

Ends the Debate Over Munitions.
From the Chicago Herald.

Secretary Lansing's note to Austria
Hungary may be taken as the final an
nouncenent OF American policy with re-
gard to the shipment of war munitions
to Europe.
II places the position OF this government
on the unassaIlable grounds of interna-
tional law, anti-militarism, Austro- Hun
garian precedent, and, what is most Inn
portant OF all, plain national necessity.
We are opposed to militartsm. There
fore we will not, sanction policy which
nuts a premium on armed and prepared
aRgressiveness; which will compel every
nation to establish and maintain great mu-
milton plants and keep immense stores OF
war material constantly on hand.
we demand national safety. Therefore
we will do nothing that might shut the
worlds markets against US in that day
when we, too, have war and are compelled
to look elsewhere for supplies II has never
been our policy to produce In great guam
titles at home.
We stand for the principles of interna-
tional law. Therefore we viii continue TO
adhere to the plain principles governing
the export OF munitions; principles as
fully understood abroad as here and most
consistently adhere to In the past.
There will no doubt be further discus
sion of the question. But there is no pos
sibility of successful attack on the estab-
lished American policy. Discussion will
henceforth be academic and futile.
The question Of exporting war munitions
Is decided. Let US pass TO the next thing
In the order OF business.

The Other Side of the Question.

From the Springfield HepuDllcan.
The British army recognized It's weak
ness, and for years had preached reor-
ganization upon the Prussian system. The
present government must face the fact
that It did not even stand neutral In this
contest, but led the opposition TO the re-
form. London war correspondence.
Are there anywhere professional military
men who do not preach 'reorganizationT'
General Bernhard was clamoring for IL
before the war, deploring the weakness
which allowed 10000 young men every
year to slip through the net OF militarism
because the standing army had not kept
pace with the population. IT Is not to the
discredit of the British liberal government

militarism and for peace, ana its record

PLAYING ON BEACH
INJURIOUS TO HAIR

While you are reveling In sea bath
ing and games on the beach for the
purpose of drying your hair do not
imagine you are choosing tho best way
for the good of your bright tresses.
Our poets have sung Of the hair that
shimmers in the sunlight. But that
same hair, II continually exposed to the
rays OF the hot sun, win soon become
dry. dun and void OF color and Iuster.
The sun burns and bleaches. BY this
process 1t removes the gloss and life
from the hair.
1t Is well to remember this fact al
ways, especially during the summer.
Like Bleaching Linen.
When you are drying your hair in
the summer sun, do you not feel the
heat from the suns rays? When the
hair is wet you do NOT realize the In
tensity OF it. But when Ii begins to
dry you are obliged to shake the hair
to allow the afr to blow through 1t In
order that II may not scorch you.
II you will stop to think you will re-
member that the process OF bleaching
linen is the same you use every morn
ing In the summer for your hair. The
linens are wet and left to the heat OF
the suns rays to bleach. Each wetting
and drying In the sun bleaches more
and more.
Do you not see that your hair, by
being wet every day and dried in the
sun, must naturally--like the linen
become lighter each day? The serious
difference is, however, that the linen is
q fabric, while your hair is alive, and
very, much alive. Because II can be
cut without pain the supposltton may
less. The fact that II grows is evil
dence that 1t is sufficiently animated to
be entirely liable to injury.
Hair Will Burn.
The sun kissed tresses are burned and
scorched until they have the quality of
straw II they are blonde. Dark hair
We all know that salt water is In
furious to the hair. 1t must be rinsed
out with fresh water.
Continual wetting of the hair removes
the natural oils from the scalp, the oils
which are so necessary to its growth
and brilliancy.
h Hair demands more attention during
the hot months than In winter. Women
spend q larger percentage of their time
in the open and are more liable to
abandon their hats than during any
other season.
There is certainly a temptation to
throw aside a bothersome hat that Is
continually tumbling about during an
exciting game, but that head covering
is quite necessary to protect the hair
as we'll as the complexion.
prove detrimental to the hair In fact.
II viii strengthen and benefit, II It IN
not wet: but, by the persistence with
which girls submit wet hair to the hot
rays of the sun, 1t is not much wonder
they find 1t fading and parched.
