WASHINGTON, Sept. at is
here, at the heart Of the United
States. that completed the discov-
cry Of America. The discovery had
begun in Europe where, in the war
ridden countries, / heard America
praised and flattered and saw its
good opinion sought by all the arm

tinued my discovery Of America in
the west and east of the United
States where found Americans busy
happy, unworried and confident.
And now in Washington discoy-
err at least, what makes the United
States different from every other
country in the world
President Wilson is greyer and
thinner than he was when saw him
as governor of New Jersey. This
year OF war In Europe, and the other
year of trouble in Mexico, have left
their mark on him; there is the same
old boyish winsomeness about his
smile, but he doesn't smile as often
as he used to.
What's the difference between
you, Mr.. President Of the United
States, and the mighty masters Of
the warning countries Of Europe?" is
a question you find yourself silently
putting TO him
The difference is that Woodrow
Wilson-and any other man who
might be in the presidents chair at
this time would have to do the same
thing-is constantly seeking to dis
cover what is best for the people Of
the United States and what they
want him to do. But the rulers Of
the nations in Europe all are asking,
What shall / order the people to do
for me?"
You can stand on the White House
lawn and see them going into the
White House, the men and women
from every corner of the United
States of whom the president will ask
interminable questions 1t is little
wonder he grows grey and little
thin. OF those who come from Eu-
rope he will ask
What are the people of France
thinking? What are the people OF
England thinking? What are the
people Of Germany thinking"
naf- vrsEa a
doing, or what governments are do
ing. The question is:
What are the people thinking?'
1t is this same question he asks
whenever the opportunity affords, il
regard TO the American people. Blu
there is no ruler in Europe today ap.
parently who cares what the people
think, so long as they fight And
there is no country in Europe where
it is safe for man to say what he
thinks, providing he thinks against
his government
About the White House you see
newspaper men in throngs. They
don't see the president every day; il
isn't necessary. But they are in con-
slant and daily touch with the presi-
dents representatives What the
president does; what he thinks; what
he's trying to do-they know 1t all.
This is not said to boost Woodrow
Wilson. ANY man, in the presidents
place, would nave to do the same
thing. This thing Of the government

VITAL INTERESTS INVOLVED
Each individual Of Cooperative Or.
qanization Must Make Interests
Of Company His Own.
(By 3. II. HIBBARD.)

(By 3. II. HIBBARD.)
II is evident from the facts Of CO
operation now in effect that farmers
will cooperate in matters in which
they are deeply interested. and will re-
fuse. or fail. to cooperate In matters
in which they have but a secondary in
terest. For example. the orange grow
ers Of California run a remarkably sue
cessful cooperative company. The
dairy farmers Of the upper Mississippi
valley have a great number Of success
full creameries and cheese factories.
On the contrary, the farmers Of the
Middle West grow a great deal Of fruit,
but they do not in many instances Co
operate in its marketing. Likewise.
the farmers of southern Iowa. of Mis-
souri,. and Of Kansas, milk many cows.
but in these sections cooperative dairy
organizations do not flourish. To be
a good member of a cooperative COM
pany each individual must feel that his
interests are those Of the company and
its interests his. Otherwise the CO.
operative company will be given but
little attention. He must think In
terms of the association.
An apple grower knows apples and
gets his living by selling them. 1t is
Of vital concern to him whether he
gets a dollar or a dollar and a quarter
box for his crop. while to the aver
age Iowa or Illinois farmer the price
of apples is of little moment. How
ever. a margin of FIVE cents bushel
on grain to them often makes the diff
ference between profit and loss.
There are abundant exceptions to
this general proposition so far as mere
numbers of associations go. For ex-
ample. the cooperative telephones and
the mutual insurance companies are
numerous. These companies involve
so little farm finance however. that
they can and are run without much
attention from the average farmer.
They are good things. but enter very
little into the ups and downs Of farm
ing.
Thus 1t might almost be said that
the business which lends itself to Co
operative action is either that in which
the farmer has the greatest concern, or
that In which his concern is constant
but very slight, and which can be run
with little or no attention from the
majority of farmers involved.
