3. Honest measures should prevail.

THE ROCHDALE PIONEERS

Modern cooperation had its real
birthplace in the town Of Rochdale
Lancashire, on December 81, 1871
The town is today the Mecca OF in.
ternational co-operators. From that
store, hired at $50 per annum, con.
tanning SO worth of fixtures and
trade utensils, and so in merchan.
disc. consisting of small quantities
of flour, butter. sugar, and oat-
meal" has arisen that mighty move
ment. so wide spread in its benef-
icent operations that some years ago
it was described by Lord Rosebery
as state within a state ;" one in
which, in the judgement OF modern
co-operators, because of its dem
ocratic organization, its magnitude,
its comprehensive activities, and its
working class executives, is the
worlds industrial and economic
phenomenon"
These twenty-eight Rochdale Pho
neers deliberately set out, as they
themselves expressed it, ito arrange
the powers of production, distribu-
ton. education and government by
collecting sii0 by the modest contri-
button Of cents each week. Three
collectors were appointed to visit
the members every Sunday and they
would probably have to walk alto
gether twenty miles each week to
get the money" The details may
sound trivial and incidental. They
are mentioned as indicative of the
determination and spirit of mutual
help at the cost Of personal sacri-
flee, which is one of the features
essential to the success of the CO
operative movement.
While the twenty-eight coOpera-
tors in Rochdale in 1874 took one
year to collect $40 capital, to-day
2a60i cooperators in that town
have a capital of $2,4l8,865, did
trade in 1911 Of s3,Oii ,O7O, and made
a net profit Of s5O6,735.
IL will be seen, therefore, that to-
day there are hundreds, probably
thousands, Of working men in Roch-

Activity In Illinois,

Distribution has been made OF the
Illinois state automobile fund for
1861. Nearly a million dollars was
distributed to the various counties of
the state by the state highway com
mission. The exact amount Is $780,
600. This is the amount appropriated
for the year 1916-17 by the last gen
eral assembly. and 1t was contributed
by the Automobiles OF the state In
licenses.
Inasmuch as each county must APP
propriate a similar amount in order to
get the money the allotment means
that $2.0O0,O00 viii be spent on the
roads of the state this fall and next
spring besides the thousands spent by
counties which have voted bond issues.

A Thought Of washing Day


The clothes line is a Rosary

Each little saint the mother loves
Is represented there.
And when across her garden plot
She walks with thoughtful heed,
I should not wonder IL she told
Each garment for bead.
For Cclia's scarlet stockings hang
Beside Amelia's skirt,
And Bilbo's breeches. which Of late
Were sadly smearcd with dirt
yon kerchief small. wiped bitter
tears
For ill-success at school:
This pinaforc was torn in strife
Twixt Fred and little julie.
And that device Of finer web,
And over costly lace,
Adorned our eldest when she danced
At some gay fashion place.
A stranger passing. 7 salute
The household in its wear.
And smile 10 think how near Of kin
And love and toll and prayer.

To Clear Muddy or Dirty Water
Water that contains a great deal

table spoon Of alum dissolved In hot
water. for each gallon OF water used.
This precipitates the dirt TO the bot

clean, may be poured Off and used.
