One winter masquerade party was

cally all the great musical lights in
the country were present. Very few

In some way Josef Hoffman,, the ia

critic in the city. During the evening
the latter. grasping the hand of the

hand strikes me very much as the

"Quite right" answered Hoffman,.

COMMUNITY COOPERATION.
Live Farmers Help Out Activities of
the Town in Which They Trade.

Any American farmer who is worthy
of the name likes to be associated with
"a good, clean, up-to-date, enterprising
ding center. lt's an asset to the farm
ing community to have good churches,
good schools, good commercial club,
and good business houses within easy
reach. The growth and prosperity
and service which such town can rem.
der to its country neighbors depends
much more largely upon the farmers
themselves than they are apt to think
The more you trade with the town mer.
chant the better stock he can keep.
The more you help out the creamery or
the cheese factory or the grain ware
house company or the grange or the
farmers union, or any other organiza-
ton that is helping out the town and
country alike, the better town you will
have.
Your town is sure to have some sort
of moving picture show. 1t is far
better that you should have a good
reputable movie than low-class pie
ture show. Farm fathers and mothers
can exert a great influence in the mat
ter of clean amusements in the town.
If the town has a public library, it
can double its value and efficiency by
the cooperation of the surrounding
farming families.
If the business men of the town help
out in the matter of good roads, why
| should not the farmers cooperate in
town betterments
The fact is that the rural town is a
farming town and depends not only
upon the production of the farms with
in its territory for it's own success, but
this rural town is of itself an index to
the farmers who live within its terri
tory
Community cooperation, community
development, means that the farm
women join the town women as mem
! bers of the commercial club, as they do
in Garfield, Whitman county, Wash.
it means a community cooperation in
| caring for and identifying the local
| cemetery, as at Oakesdale, in the same
| county; it mems that the town people
unite with the farm people in the com.
munity clubhouse, as at Oroville, in
Okanogan county, Wash; it means that
the farmers and the townspeople unite
in making an institution of the annual
PiNhicJ 40 VII ehS pioJVSt q ""
miles out of Caldwell, Idaho, it means
that the townspeople and the farm peo-
| pie unite in that marvellous institution,
the children fair, as at McMinnville,
Ore.
Wherever you find the farmers co
| operating with the townspeople you
have a good town, and when you have
good town you are pretty sure to find
good people living on the farms around
| that town. You can not build up a
successful social life without ,commu.
nifty effort. Good stores, good churches
good schools, good roads, good farm or.
CARNATIONS must have the cooperation
of the farmers as well as the towns
people themselves.--Idaho Farmer.

WONT TEAR UP RAILS
If MEN BAN STRIKE

observation-disclosures street car en-
ployes of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company have refused to sign
individual contracts they have been lock-
ed out.
Under the contract, workers would
surrender all forms Of collective action.
and the company, affecting a spirit of
fairness and equity, pledges itself to
barns, or scrap its power house and ma
chinery, or rip up the rails from Wash
ington's streets and force the people to
walk.
This is the legal form in which the
company presents its humorous pledge:
"And in consideration thereof, said
company on its part agrees that it will
not lock out its employees in a body or
close down its works, or cease operation
of its cars or refuse to employ and
keep in its employ force of suitable
and competent men who are willing to
abide by this agreement"
While no one ever heard of street
car company locking out its non-union
employees, or ceasing to operate its cars
while dividends are forthcoming-th
concern, in all seriousness, insists that
workers should not act collectively be-
cause it agrees to do those things it
promised the public authorities it would
do when it was given the use of the
streets.
Under this individual contract griev-
ances must be first presented to the su-
perintendent, then to the president and
then to the public utilities commission.
An employe may present his case in
person or be represented by another
employe in the same class OF service
This would permit track worker, who
may have little education, or who has
not been accustomed to dealing with
presidents OF street railway companies,
to ask fellow track worker to also run
the risk OF discharge by assisting him
in this unequal contest for justice. In
the event some persistent employe lasted
long enough to carry his case to the pub
lie utilities commission, and that body
agreed the track worker was entitled
to be represented by one who could
plead his case in competent manner,
the company would show the track
workers signature to an Individual con-
tract which provides that the. decision
of the commission on any point shall
be in harmony with the expressed terms
and provisions of this contract

FACTORY FATALITIES LESS
THAN BUILDING.

Albany, N. Y.-Approximately four
times as many persons are employed in
the factories of this state as are en-
ployed in building and construction
work, reports the state industrial COM
mission. Yet during the four years
from October 1, 1910, to September 80,
1914, more fatalities due to accidents
occurred in building and construction
work than in factories. The numbers
we're: Building and construction work,
1,641; factories, including 2O4 fatalities
resulting from three large factory fires,
1855. 1t is stated that falls of workers
from girders, joists, roofs, scaffolds,
etc, resulted in more fatalities than any
other single cause, and, except for me-
chanical power, approximated as many
as all other causes combined The num-
Der of these fatalities is 545.
In its suggestions and rules that
would cover almost every conceivable
accident on building, the commission
emphasizes what it terms the human
factor"
"Workmen, like other people,. are
bundles of habits" it says. "These
habits are formed very largely through
suggestions received directly or indi-
rectly from their environment and
through imitation of other people By
constantly repeating the same actions
day after day they come to be more or
less involuntary and do not require the
conscious judgment of the worker.
Hence some accidents that are charged
to carelessness should be charged to
ignorance and incorrect habits instead,
recognizing that these habits are not
always the results of deliberate judg
ment, but are formed more or less I'M
consciously.
"In order to eliminate the accidents
due to incorrect habits OF the workmen,
we must change these habits. This is a
difficult task but it can be accomplished
in the same manner that other kinds of
habits are changed"
