COOPERATIVE PEOPLE
TO HAVE BRANCH HERE

The following article appeared in
| the Herald this week and upon re-
quest of some of those connected with
the concern we reproduce the same
in this issue.
Just as soon as sufficint amount
of stock is subscribed by the farmers
of Ohio County, the American Coop
erative Association, which is the bus
mess end of the American Society OF
Equity, will establish branch house
here in Hartford with Mr.. S. l.. King
as manager.
Only farmers will be solicited for
members, as the object of the Asso-
citation is to save its members the
middemlan's profit on everything
they buy and sell. including machin-
cry, food supplies and in fact every
thing bought or sold on the farm.
The American Cooperative Asso-
citation headquarters are in Wausau,
Wis, and it has branches in Chicago,
ILL.,, st. Paul, Mimi, Crawford, Neb.,
Bonneville, Ind, Everett, Wash, Ow-
ensboro, KY, and the one proposed
here for Hartford. and owing to the
enormous buying and selling power
of all the members in all these
branches together, the Association is
enabled to take the entire output of
various factories, mines, etc.
Every member has one vote, as
men vote in this Association and not
money. The stock is fully paid up
and worcestershire, and nobody can
buy over 81 900 worth. Since organ
ization the A. G.. A. has paid 8 per
cent. interest on the capital invested.
Mr.. Seymour Cohn, who was at the
head of the crew OF statesmen in Da-
yiess county, where he raised nearly
$50, 900 for the greensboro Branch in
the last few weeks, is here in Hart
ford in charge of the work of raising
sufficient funds among the farmers
of Ohio county to start the Hartford
Branch.
Mr.. L. N. Robertson, of Owens
boro, KY, is the leld manager of the
organization work.

At the present writing the situa-
ton in Russia appears to be better
than at any ime since Nicholas was
dethroned. The appointment of that
willy statesman and diplomat, Elihu
Root upon that commission TO Russia,
by the administration, has perhaps
done more for the Allies than any
other single, like stroke for quite a
long time. Mr. Root is beyond doubt
one OF the greatest, if not the great
est diplomat in America. We may be
presuming entirely too much, for Ex-
Secretary Root, but ii reports are to
be at all relied upon, we know that
whereas the outlook in Russia was
altogether hopeless, now it is hope
full. But in Russia, by the time this
is linked, something else may hap

MEXICO SHOULD
enter The WAR
COUNTRY SHOULD JOIN ALLIES
DECLARE 23 CIVILIANS IN
NEWSPAPER.

Mexico City, June 19.--El >Univer-
sal, which is probably the most prom
inent newspaper in Mexico, will print
tomorrow statements from twenty
three prominent civilians of Mexico,
advocating severance by Mexico of re-
lations with Germany and asserting
that Mexico's place in the war is on
the side of the Entente Allies.
The headlines of the article in
ed say it is to the interest of Mexico
to sever relations with Germany, and
that the Latin-American ideals of
Mexico must incline her to the side
of the Allies rather than toward
ideals of Pan-Germanism, absorption
and militarism, as expressed by Ger
many.
The article says the opinions print
ed are those of some men who think
in Mexico and for Mexico, and that 1t
is the consensus of opinion of these
men that Mexico can not maintain
neutrality, but must sever relations
with Germany in order to reamin true
to the ideals for which the country
has struggled during the last six
years.
The statements in general show
close unanimity of opinion. Some of
them go so far as to say that in order
to uphold the ideals of justice which
actuate Mexico the country should
Immediately declare war on Germany.
Others assert that German intrigues
in Mexico offer ample reasons for
severing diplomatic relations, adding
that Germany is endeavoring to pro-
woke trouble between Mexico and the
United States. 1t is asserted in some
OF tbe statements that GERMANY can
rot deceive Mexico by offers o! money
ard and end loans, nor by the pros
pect Of recovering portions of Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona, lost in
iSIS
Mexico, say still others of the
statements, can not lend herself or
her territory to be the headquarters
of a German spy system, the object
of which is to work as to lay Mexico
and other Latin-American States
open to embodiment and especially
involve Mexico with the United
States and Guatemala.
Among those from whose state
ments are printed are Rafael Cabrera,
Govern of Puebla and brother of
luis Cabrera, Minister of Finance;
Marceline Davies, former Congress

the National Museum, and Arnulfo
