THRU COOPERATION

The Ihomaston Cooperative Com
pany, Of Connecticut, has started
merry price-cutting war in its town, a
mong the coal dealers. Before the CO.
operative society began to sell coal.
$lS ton was charged. The society
thought it might do good work in sell
ing coal on a cooperative basis, as it
has been selling groceries. 1t went out
and bought quantity of coal, selling
it to members at $l6 ton.
That started something, A local
dealer got cold feet" and cut his
price to $3.50. with SO cents off for
cash. Still another dealer. rather than
be frozen out Of the trade. cut his price
to SIS ton.
The cooperative society in this way
has cut the price Of coal $500 ton,
in few days.

AGAINST
ANIMAL PESTS


Three splendid films were shown at
the Colony Theater on last Monday
night. Two were Of an educational na-
ture that it would be well for every
cattle raiser to heed who lives il the
black belt Of country infected with
the cattle fever-tick and the screw
worm flies. The manner Of radically
eradicating these pests was so cIearIl
and practically shown that cattIe-dipp
ing should be generally practiced un
|tll the vermin is starved out.
A splendid film Of winter sports n
the white Mountains showed what a
good time people generally could have
in winter, if their purchasing ability
and leisure time were increased. There
is no other obstacle in the way pre-
venting it. except blind selfishness and
ignorance.
