opposite of socialism and paternal-
ism. Cooperation does not depend
on state laws and state taxes to sup
port what it undertakes. 1t reeog-

to get along without capital. 1t d.
yides profits in proportion to the SER

was made to c;ose the well by filling
IL with sand and gravel but the cur
rent was 50 strong hat the stones
were blown out of the shaft
Mrs. Lowenstein then a the well
capped and arranged a system OF
faucets by which she floods her house
with colo air as she desires. 1t has

popular with the neighbors h cleo
trio fans are ineffective in conpari-
son to Mrs. Lowenstein's cold air
blast. In rainy weather a blast of the
dry air drives ont the danipncss in
a short time.

poured forth the air current continu-
ously and without variation in force.
