Good Things to Eat and

Persimmon beer is here. That season
in which this moderate type of "home

rels at the country farmhouse. Really
this drink, when properly made, is de-
~licious, is suggestive Of a few other
things that a tired, hungry edit

all, of the ginger cakes, like q

flavor of ginger in them-ginger that
must have been gathered when the
ginger crop was at it's best. 1t sug-
gests the season of the "possum and
later" feasts-times when the COM
munity life is astir by the fumes from
the baking pan. Did you know that
'possum am good?" 1t Is, when
properly prepared, a meat that is un-
equaled, especially If you barricade the

several big yellow yams--yams that

VAST RICHES Of OLD SPAIN
Luxury Surrounding Grandees Of
Three Centuries Ago Can Hard
ly Be Imagined.

The luxury displayed at the present
age by the great of Spain can in no
way compare to that of their ances-
tors of three centuries ago.
The duke of Albuquerque, we were
told recently by the marques of San
Simon, cal boast of being the owner
Of many pieces of furniture made of
silver left to him by his father.
In order to weigh and make the In
ventory of the silver and gold table
sets which we're left, it was necessary
to devote two hours per day for a
period of six weeks. There were 1,40O
dozens of dinner plates, 500 large plat
ters and 700 smaller ones, all else be-
ing in proportion to this magniflcence.
Among other relics he has 40 silver
step-ladders which were used to as
cend 20 the tops of the cupboards
which held these treasures.
The duke of Alba, who says that
his father was not of the richest, had
left to him GOO dozens of dinner plates
and 800 platters made of wrought
silver.

Cooperation in Australia Easier of Develop
ment Than in Any Other land
By RANDOLPH BEDFORD, Australian Commission.

Cooperation in Australia, that takes hold Of much of the farm stufs
at the railroad, hauls it on state railroads to cooperative markets, car
rMs the exportable surplus on government ships to oversee markets, and,
in London, markets it comparatively was easier of development than in
any other country. The land is new and the vested interests not insu-
perabh.
Such instances IS a farmer marketing potatoes at $50 a ton and
knowing that, without handling, the buyer received $40 a ton, made the
Australian farmer think hard; and the fact that the farmer rode in a
cart and the commission agent in a automobile made the mental process
permanent.
One Australian cooperative-the North Coast Cooperative company
Of New South Wales-began life with $500 and a bale of lucerne hay, and
last year its turnover was $~95,0oooo0. Cooperation has made the Aus
tralian butter trade worth ,$40,0OOOO0 a year.
The government of my own state of Queensland has established a
state produce agency to handle such farm products as are not handled
ready to finance them. There IT state sugar mns-because otherwise
Hze prices and give the farmer the new profit resulting from the eimi-
starving the returned soldiers who had become pineapple raisers, and the
uts of all the Gamers in a government pool and giving the soldier
farmers a living wage.
The crop of misery always reapable after war made these incursions
time the farmer is told to produce more, and in the rehabilitation period
duction must be doubled to represent the old volume of money values.
Meantime, the consumers wages are to fall; and the only untouched
increase in profits is the increase in inter@t-the wages of money left at
6 per cent in the time of high prices and becoming Il per cent if prices
are cut in half.
1t is these memorable facts which have forced Australia into co-opera-
ton-common and state-oaered; and the progress therein can only be
limited by the public control of finance, which is national credit; and
only that.

Peculiar Old ENGLISH Belief.

An odd custom which brought the
key and the Bible together was one
that used to prevail in England up to
within the latter quarter of the last
century. 1t was called "Key and
Bible" and was used for the detec-
ton of thieves. A key was placed
over. an open Bible at the words,
"Whither thou goest. l will 20" truth
/ :16) and the fingers of the person
being held so as to form a cross. the
text was repeated. The anne of
suspected persons we're then pro-
nounced in succession, and when the
name of the thief was uttered, the key
was supposed to jump and dance
about. An instance of this method of
thief-finding was brought before the
magistrates at the borough petty ses-
sions at Ludlow as late as January,
1879.

true nobility of mankind. ut gives a divine sanction to the authority Of
righteous government, to faithful service through economic relationship,
and to the peaceful covenants of international understanding. 1t repre-
sents the only hope Of the world, the only motive by which mankind San
bear the burdens of civilization.
The peculiar meaning of America is faith, faith in the first place
in an international power, faith in the second place in mankind. There
ire those who doubt the stability of republican institutions. There are
those who question the ability of a people long to maintain a democracy.
The progress of the race does not lie merely in the intelligence, phios-
ophy, or the art of a few, but in their possession by the many, in their
general acceptance.
America lays no claim to the discovery of the theory Of freedom OF
self-goyernment. It's glory lies in the ability of its people to put those
theories into practice, not merely the power to state them but the capacity
to live up to them.
The inalenabe right of man to life and liberty and to be protected
in the enjoyment of the rewards of his own industry have their source in
religion. The rights Of man Is man, the dignity of the individual, find
their justification in that source alone. Whenever its teachings were fully
admitted, the rest followed as a matter of course 1t was religion that
came first; then the establishment of free government.
With these there cam the opportunity for a general education, for a
broader service by the institutions of higher learning, which ushered In
The age of science, resulting in the great material prosperity. These were
the institutions which Americans built up and supported out of their
faith in IN eternal purpose and out of their faith in mankind.

of piety and men of an open mind. They must con-
tinue their indispensable service to the cause of free

The American Plan as Established and
Enforced in San Francisco


The American plan as established and enforced in San Francisco
BY the industrial association is distinct from the od-time, socaled open
chop. Whereas the open shop, wherever enforced, has meant the entire
absence of all restriction " restraint upon employers with respect to
wages paid, hours of work and other conditions of employment-thereby
giving opportunity for INSCRIPTIONS employers to deal unfairly, the
American plan in San Francisco has set up machinery for reasonable con-
troll of these matters in the interest of the public.
In other words, it really has been a plan, definitely conceived and
definitely carried out, in the interest not of any special group or faction,
but in the interest of the three parties to industrial relations: the public,
labor and the employers.
The American plan is prednaed upon the proposition that the
public interest is paramount to that of any other community element, and
that neither labor nor capital, nor any other faction or class, should be
allowed to take action that will ieopardze that interest. And, as the
public interest actually would be jeopardized as much by unfairness of
any kind visited by the employers upon labor u consumers, as by auto
cratic labor union control of industry, the American plan prevents either
of these things taking place.
