DIDN'T FURNISH A THING

1T was q sone gallus' fellow
whose breaches struck him under
the armpits, and hit him at the
other end about the knee. He did
not believe in decollete clothes.
They buried him in the midst Of q
marble quarry; they cut through
solid marble to make his grave,
and yet q little tombstone they put
over him was from Vermont. They
hurried him In the heart of pine
forest, and yet the pine coffin was
imported from Cincinnati. They
buried him within the touch Of an
iron mine and yet the nails in his
coffin and the iron in the shovels
that dug his grave were imported
from Pittsburg. They buried him
by the side Of the best sheep-graz-
ing country on earth and yet the
wool in his coffin bands themselves
were brought from the north.
"The south didn't furnish a
thing on the earth for that funer-
al but the corpse and the hole in
the ground. And they put him a.
way and the clods battled down on
his coffin. And they buried him in
a New York coat, and a Boston
pair of shoes, and a pair of
breeches from Chicago, and a shirt
from Cincinnati, leaving him moth
ing to carry into the next world
with him to remind him of the
country in which he lived, and for
which he fought, for four years,
but the chilled blood in his veins
and the marrow in his bones. -

Grady.

A DAY OF HAPPINESS.

Sunday should be the freest
happiest day Of all the 365. But,
as we have remarked before we
have no liberty but the liberty to
do right. If we love not the law
and have no conscience with re-
spect to its observation then in
deed are we recreant to our nature
and are acting contrary to the
highest Impulses of it. The physi-
cal man needs Sunday for rest and
relaxation. He can find it in
things that do not reflect on the
laws Of God or man. If he can't
there's something wrong with him.

Combat Employers Argument.

San Francisco. - The building
trades unions ignored the first meet
ing of the new wage board Of the
Chamber Of Commences Industrial
Association. The Rank and File Fed
Grafton Of Workers has already an
nounced that it will not abide by de-
cisions of the board, and the unions
Trades Council sent no official dele
gate to the hearing.
Several union officials were pres
ent unofficially, however, and endeav-
ored TO combat the arguments Of en-
plovers for wage reductions. The
probability is that the board will rec
ommend a wholesale cut IN wages.

WORKERS SUCCEED
IN COOPERATIVE
HOME BUILDING
(Cooperative News service)

The Peoples Construction Com
pany of st. Paul, cooperative build
ing association organized by the
building trades workers last spring
following an american plan" lock-
out, reports that the work done this
season totals approximately 100000,
on which a small surplus of $4,000
has been realized, besides providing
steady employment for the workers
at the highest union wages. During
the past year many large jobs had TO
be refused by the company because
the workers were not organized TO
handle them; but with the success and
experience now achieved, the man
aver predicts that next years con
struction will reach 81 900, 900.
In Boston the building trades
unions have formed the Construction
and Housing Company of Boston,
which has been incorporated for
100000, divided into $40 shares
held by more than 1000 workmen. A
number of important building pro
iects have been successfully handled.
The management an administration
of this important undertaking has
been entrusted to leaders who fitted
themselves as competent business
men through courses in business
methods, accounting, and finance at
the Boston Trades Union College.
A similar movement has started in
San Banardino, Calf, where the
workers, firing of waiting for the
contractors to provide them with
work, have started building homes
for themselves. Through a workers
building and loan association recent
ly organized, any man can secure
credit to build a home by making
small monthly payments. In Jack
son, Michigan, Reading, Penn, and
Brooklyn, N. Y, workers building
guides have successfully erected
many homes at cost of labor and
materials; while several western Co
operative societies have built coop
erative houses to solve the housing
problem for their members.
he shortage Of several hundred
thousand homes throughout the ma
ton testifies TO the fact that the
profit system has broken down as an
incentive for real estate spectators
and contractors TO provide homes for
the people. Cooperative home build
ing has proved the way out.

CENSUS SHOWS
FARMERS BEHIND
COOPERATION

lADOItfdAlAC ANtNo
The Department of Commerce
| through the Bureau of the Census
announced recently the erturns from
the 1920 census of agriculture in the
United States, which reveal the re-
markable progress that farmers CO
operation has been silently making
The census report show that last year
ISL. 1856 farms marketed comparatively
S722 100000 worth of produce, while
329, 499 farms made purchases OF
over $S4 100000 through their coop
erative associations. The average
for the whole country indicates that
one farm out of every 10 (9.7 per
cent? is connected with one or more
cooperative organizations. In the
more progressive states the average
lis much higher, reaching in Minnesota
43.9 per cent Of all farms in the state.
In the amount of sales the well-or-
ganized California fruit growers lead
with returns of approximately. $l2s,-
| 100000 from cooperative marketing,
while the Minnesota creamery and
cheese factory cooperators stand sec
ond. The totals for the entire coun-
try show that grain is the most Nalu-
able single commodity marketed by
the cooperatives, followed by mix and
cream products, fruits, and truck
crops.
There is something to think about
| in the fact that in the states where
the farmers are poorest there is the
least cooperative activity. In the poy.
erty stricken agricultural sections OF
the South, where farm tenantry and
farm mortgages abound, less than
per cent Of the farms report cooper
alive marketing or purchasing.
The Bureau Of Markets OF the De
partment of Agriculture has also just
released figures of farmers cooper
alton, gathered by its 1900 county
| agents throughout the country. The
tremendous growth of agricultural
cooperation in the United States Is
recorded in the figures for 1920
which show a jump of more than 6OO
per cent in the amount of cooperative
business done by the farmers over
that of the preceding year. While
