Cornelia Cooperative Mercantile com pany was started with a capital stock of s10o,O00. There is now outstandinss stock amounting to sT5.Ooo. held prin .cipally by the New Cornelia directors,
 In 1917 the store distributed 10 workers who patronized it. about s13,000. The balance sheet did nol satisfy Colonel Greenway and he told his store manager that he must de crease the margin of profits. In 1918 the distribution amounted to over s33, 3,000. About 8 thousand workers shared in this distribution.
 Perhaps the average profit exacted ! by stores for groceries in Arizona E 1 20 per cent. This store showed an average of 1712 pereent and distributed 1 15 per cent of the total purchases te each individual on the payroll of the 1 New Cornelia four months prior to December 20. and whose name was on the payroll that date. The plan has double purpose: the one to allow the
 workers to share in the profits Of the
 store, and the other to keep thein al 1 work
 Stock to Jobs
 Last year the average American
 worker at the New Cornelia drew dividends on his store purchases
 amounting to $110 and the average ! Mexican worker drew $T5. 1t was
 found that the men stuck to their jops. for there were so per cent of them cn the payroll at the time the last divi- dend was declared.
 l There is no friction in this coop
 erative plan. A store committee of
 seven, one from each department, per,
 forms the function similar to that cf : a board of directors. All of them are
 employees of the New Cornelia from
 the mines, the reduction plant the
 railroad to the store itself This store
 committee meets the fifteenth of each
 month with Manager Nathan and they
 have the privilege of auditing accounts if they desire. To further safeguard their interests, an outside auditor is employed who makes q report to the : committee. In order to insure the life : of the organization, before the distri- button of the net profits is made, the , company sets out a surplus of S5000 The benefits of this cooperative plan could only be defeated by buying , at high prices and payrng big salaries On examination of prices charged al : all other mining camps in Arizona and } even at some more favorably located l cities and towns, the Ajo prices com l pare well. The salaries paid for the operation of the store amount to about !. II per cent of the total sales, which is
 not excessive. The company does 6 : jobbing business and jobs to its retai a department at the usual jobbers' mar s gins of profit.
 s Colonel John c. Greenway is the 9 type of American who makes this country invincible in war as well as 1T v peace.

 I was too tired to eat and too tired to sleep. By g o'clock I was too tired to stay in bed. I threw my klmona around me and sat down at the wln- dow. which faced the mOonlit boule- ward. raised the shade just in time to see Dr. Hamilton Certeis roadster turn the corner. It stopped in 1ront or Mary Thomas terrace!
 "Oh, la. 1a." I said, under my breath, as pr. Certeis mounted the steps and rang the bell. Then l heard him speak of "Tiny." Mary's compact, six room suite has walls like sounding boards. I closed and locked my door went back to bed and pulled the covers | over my ears.

 Finally, it occurred to me that Dr | Certeis was Daddy Lorimer's bes friend. as well as his medical adviser and that he might call on Mary fol business, not social reasons. But found small comfort in the logic.

THE HARBoR oFLIFE

Some dream of a land that is fairer than this And picture realm in the sky, But the beauty surrounding them down here they miss As they search for the spendors high. Leave death for the dead. There songs to be
 sung,
 There are joys to be born out of strife; The world is the place where all hearts should be
 young, The earth is the harbor of life. There are goals to be reached there are deeds to be
 done,
 There are joys for our children to know; There battles with evil and hate to be That the world with contentment may glow And the mission of man from the time of his birth To the day that his spirit shall soar Is to make for the living happier earth Than ever it has been before We change not tho realm that's promised for all Nor comfort the souls of the dead, But here we can tighten the burdens that fall And level the pathways tread. We can make of this earth a more beautiful place, To life many charms give; We can fill it with laughter and music and grace; We can make it pleasure to live. Let us toi where we may for the spendor of earth, Let us brighten the days with our song; Let us fill the dark with sunshine and mirth And banish oppression and wrong. Let dream not much of the heaven afar That the beauty about miss: Our duty lies here, where at present we are Let Us make good world out of this

Even fair and eminent democratic newspaper as the New York Times persists in advertising Mayor Thompson of Chicago appurtenant to the repub- lcan party. Thompson only happens to have been republican at time. He owed his election not to republican votes republican influence but to the bolshevist pro-German vote of Chicago in which we are sure there many men who happened to have been democrats. It is farer taunt the republi can party with Thompson than it is to remind the democratic party that Kitchn is a democrat.

secretary of agriculture in his annual report
 Protection of the forests during the season of 1918 proved an exceptionally difficult task, says the secretary An unusual strain was imposed on an or ganiZation somewhat depleted in num- bers and much weakened by the loss of many of it's most experienced men Added to this was the difficulty of se- curing good men for temporary ap- pointment as guards during the fire season, and parties of men for fight ing large fires. An unusually early and severe dry season caused the outbreak of serious fires before the summer protective organization was fully ready.
 some embarrassment in meeting the situation, the report comments, was caused by the failure of the annual aI- propriation act to pass congress until after the fire season was virtually over. Relief was furnished by the president, who placed S1,000.O00 at the secretary's disposal as loan from the presidents emergency fund. II may be necessary, the secretary says, to seek from congress again deficiency appropriation of SI50,000.

 Don't be without ice next summer. It's expensive and inconyenient to de- pend on neighbors or haul from town. You can build a good ice house. If you want to know how, write to the United States department of agricul- ture, Washington, D. C., and ask for a free copy of Farmers Bulletin 623. Do it now.
