LOVERS COOPERATIVE UNION
BY William r. Sanborn

LOVERS COOPERATIVE UNION
Well, sir, this idea of cooperation
is flourishing and spreading into all
walks of life, the Lovers Cooperative
Union. of Hammontcn, n. j., being its
most attractive and latest expression.
Joking, you say? No indeed, such
union as that at Hammonton is too Sc
rious a matter to joke about. The
aforesaid union has a president and
secretary, Lewis Conley ranking first
and Thomas D. Dockler second. And
according to the voracious Cincinnati
Enquirer, there is the judge, Mrs. Hei-
en- L. Rodgers, and jury of II to try
the cases in Cupid's court.
The first cases to be tried out in
this court came up this week. All
kinds and conditions of manhood and
womanhood have filed claims in this
court, claims for a wife or husband.
There are 1000 cases on the trial
calendar. 1t is up to the jury to de-
eide, for instance, whether or not a
chorus girl would make a good wife
for an aspiring peddler, or gray
haired banker a good husband for a
flapper.
Do you get the drift-a cooperative
society for the purpose of uniting
lonely and far distant hearts in the
bonds of matrimony? The society Sc
| lects correspondents and a mail-order
course of lovemaking is started. One
Missouri woman is seeking member
/ ship in the Lovers Union, wrote stat
ing that she objected to the word
mate" 1t sounds to much like bird,
she said MY first husband was 4
bird No more experiments in orni-
thology for me-
And thus, ladies and gentlemen of
the farm bureau, doth the idea of CO.
| operation spread abroad in the land.
There's nothing like it.
| Farm Car Headlights
We are pretty well convinced that
our farmers have already had their
car headlights tested and adjusted, as
farmers are not only careful drivers
but also are law abiding citizens. 1t
seems, however, that numerous car
owners have not attended to this
matter and now, on the request OF
some prominent automobile men, the
time to comply with this state law,
in Richmond, has been extended to
Sept l. If the reader happens to be
among those who have not complied
with the law, or if your lights are still
unsatisfactory, it will be the part OF
prudence to have your lights attended
to at once. Any man who will stand
on any corner of well travelled Rich
mond thoroughfare in the evening, and
who studies the procession of cars
will conclude that any number of cal
