WESTERN SWIMMERS G|GGlE
At A. A. j. IMPORTANCE
BY II. C. HAMILTON,
United Press Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Giggles
that have gone from one end of the
United States Pacific coast to the
other were started recently when the
Amateur Athletic Union, meeting in
New York, decided to keep women
swimmers from competing with the
male of the species. and as side
issue decreed that there must be a
cl ange in the garb worn by the
lady-fish.
The A A. U. high brows ordain-
ed it to this effect: "All women
contestants in swimming events
must wear bathing suits OF black
texture that covers their bodies from
shoulder to toe"
The giggle is still giggling, or Il
was at very recent reports. The
mermaids absolutely refused TO get
excited over the advice and ANNOUNCE
ed that nenceforth, just the same as
heretofore. they will follow their
own inelinations and wear the popu-

co-OPERATION.-

CO-OPERATlON.-The writer has
been a student of cooperative effort
for 20 or 80 years and is convinced
that it is possible for labor, capital
and trade, or the workers, investors
and consumers to so combine their
interests as to mutually benefit all
concerned, ultimately working out to
the complete emancipation Of the
workers - who are practically the
consumers from the dominance of
the smallest and least important fac
tor Of the trinity cOpartnership.
Under the present capitalistiC ar
rangement the workers and COnsum-
ers are both exploited according to
their inability to resist through or
ganizatiOn. The only final solution
is the capitalization of labor by the
workers and supply by tie cOnsum-
eTs, with a simultaneous regard for
the capitalization of rent, while the
present system of doing business
continues.
Along the lines herein suggested
the workers can build a common
trust estate for themselves, with am
pie safeguards against dishonest and
inefficient management, that will
amply provide for all surplus labor
and protect every worker from the
need of charity in declining years.
Considerable preliminary work has

Colfax a Fine Cotton Market.

On several occasions we have
had cause to make note of the
fine price the Colfax buyers were
paying for cotton. This week,
however, they have gone the
limit by paying full market quo
tations in New Orleans for spot
cotton, taking middling cotton
for their basis. JAG Bloch opened
the ball by bidding 1850 on five
bales, when middling was quoted
in the city at 1910; w. B. Stroth-
err, of the Peoples Cash Store,
raised the bid to 16 Bloc; then
the ]. w. Duncan Co. bid in the
lot for 1910. Four bales of this
cotton were owned by Frank
Ante and one bale by R. Racial.
The biggest lot of cotton bought
by j. w. Duncan Co. this week
was fifteen bales from j. F.
Drewett at 16c, which brought
$1213.44.
This is a fine price for cotton,
and we are glad to see our farm
ers realize so much on their labor,
but we would caution them not
be in too big a hurry to sell. A
rush to sell always depresses the
market. Pick your cotton fast
but market it slowly.
