Cooperative Store
Now a Practical
Certainty
Stockholders to Meet Saturday
Week "
Committee Decides to Begin
Collecting Membership

What may develop into solar
plexus blow to knock out the high
cost of living is now in the
formative stage here. For sever
al weeks citizens discontented
with the high prices charged for
the commodities, have been in con-
sultation with regard to plan
whereby they may eliminate the
middle-man's profit and in effect
buy direct from the producer,
William A. .Tierney assumed lead
.ership in the movement and called
a meeting in the Opera House
some time ago to discuss the pro-
iect of establishing cooperative
store. This scheme he explained
has been tried in other communi-
ties with conspicuous success and
with profit to the buyer. A num-
ber of those willing to back the
project pay a definite membership
fee and become stockholders.
Prices are fixed to cover overhead
expenses and to return legitimate
profit which is divided among the
stockholders, not according to the
stock held but according to the
cash purchases made. Sales
moreover are not limited to the
shareholders but will be made at
the standard rates to any custom
ers. The heaviest consumer under
the cooperative plan will be the
largest beneficiary in the matter OF
profit sharing. At the recent meet,
ing committee was appointed tc
consider the proposition carefully
and to canvass the industries with
d view to securing cooperation
The committee follows:
From the Continental Fibre Co
&C. Hubert and Howard McCully
From the American Vulcanizet
Fibre Co. Irwin Durnall, Rober
Potts and Frank Davis; From thu
Curtis paper mill, Clarence D
Grant and o. Leverage.
From those outside of the abov
named industries, George Fergu
son and BENZ. Eubanks.
The store building at the corne
Of Main and Chapel Streets ha
been considered as the site an
other tentative plans as to manage
ment, etc. suggested but not def
nitely settled upon. Price list
have been secured from certai
wholesale merchants on grocerie
and salt meats. Calculation
based on these prices are bein
made now. If the venture prove
a success, fresh meats will prof
ably be added later on.
The promoters are enthusiast
over the scheme and have alread
secured an approximate member
ship of $50 at $40 each.
A meeting. of the committee wa
held last night when it was d'
cided to take up the subscription
Immediately, give receipt for san
ard hold meeting of these stool
holders on Saturday, October 2

BETTER THAN
ASPIRIN FOR
CCLDS AND FLU
The Improved Aspirin Tablets. Call
ed Aspttone, are Slightly Stimu-
lating Instead of pressing to the
Heart-Do Not Upset Stomach.

Physicians and druggists are very
enthusiastic over Aspitone, the new
and improved aspirin tablets that
are said to be slightly stimulating
instead OF depressing to the heart.
They explain that severe colds, in
fuenza. fevers, headaches, neuralgia
and rhuematism are almost invaria-
bly, attended by weakness of the
heart and require stimulation
rather than depression. Heart fail
ure. they say, is especially to be
guarded against in influenza ana
pneumonia, hence they recommend
Aspitone.
A gentle laxative with one or two
tablets of Aspitone, as needed, is
now the physicians favorite treat
ment for severe colds and threatened
pneumonia. 1t will usually cut
short cold or sore throat over
night. Aspitone tablets are also be-
ing used with splendid results for
the relief Of pain in headaches. neu-
ralgta and rheumatism. The lead
ing druggists everywhere are now
supplied with Aspitone, which is sold
in sealed packages. price thirty-five
cents. They may be obtained To-
cally at the Standard Drug Co-Adv.

CRITICISM OF WILSON
VOICED BY REPUBLICANS
Congressman Dislike For Him TO
Advise Them on Naval
Program.

Washington, Feb 6.-Considera-
tion by the house Of the annual
naval appropriation bill brought
forth more criticism Of President
Wilson, some members asserting
that he was endeavoring to force the
authorization of a new three-year
building program without taking
congress into his confidence as to
events at Paris which made such
legislation necessary at this time
Discussion along this line follow
ed receipt by Chairman Padgett, of
the naval committee, OF a cablegram
from the President, expressing salts
faction with the unanimous decision
OF the naval committee to recon-
mend the new construction program
The message was not read in the
house, but was made public by Mr.
Padgett. 1t said:
May / not express my gratifca-
tion and gratitude and congratula-
tions at the unanimous report on the
three-year naval building program?
There was little debate on the bill

SOCIETY OF NATIONS is
BEING RAPIDLY FORMED
We Have Reached the 14th Article
Says Prof. Larnaude of the
Commission.

Paris, Feb. 1O.-"The most i'm
portant part OF the preliminary
work Of establishing a society OF ma
tions has been concluded" said Prof
Ferdinand Laranaude, dean Of the
law faculty Iof the University Of
Paris. and, with Leon Bourgeois, a
French delegate on the commission
on society OF nations, in discussing
the work OF the commission.
I'VE have reached the 14th ar
ticle." he continued. "And we expect
to conclude preliminary discussions
early next week. The articles which
have been adopted deal with the de-
sire OF the socieay to prevent future
wars. What remains to be investi-
gated concerns international trans
portation, commerce and financial
affairs, and we expect the delegates
to agree promptly"
Asked II the departure Of Presi-
dent Wilson, Premier Lloyd George
and Premier Orlando would affect
the continuance Of the COM
missions work Professor Larnaude
replied, mo, the work will 90 on.
Colonel House will represent Ameri-
ca on the commission, Lord Cecil
Will appear for Great Britain and
Professor Uhiloga will take the place
of Premier Orlando. of Italy"
Later in the convention he said (:
Newspaper men need not impress
on the masses that we will succee-
in Immediately eradicating the germ
gradually.
MY idea is that when disputes
arise between two nations they would
be referred to an executive Assem-.
bly, to be formed by the delegates
from all nations which are members
OF the society of nations. This as
sembly would after investigation
decide which of the nations was right
and international forces would. if
created. be placed at the disposition
OF the country in the right. should
such a step be necessary. In some
cases the executive assembly might
not act beyond giving a decision and
would allow the disputants to settle
matters between themselves by force
IL so Inclined
Professor Larnaude alluded to the
calm, perfectly natural and agree
able manner" in which President
Wilson has presided over the discus
sions OF the commission.
Had we at times been impa-
tisnt." he said. 81 am sure the dig
nified attitude of the American Pres
ident would have been sufficient TO
quiet us"
Referring to the probable capital
Of the society OF nations, he said
that he preferred Versailles. but ad-
ded that this was merely his person
al choice for the reason that Yer.
sailles Is so close to the great tele-
graphic, postal. railroad and diplo.
matte center Of Paris.
