So when I eases myself into this
chummy twosome in the corner of

come to serve a second demi-tasse

That's NICE" says I. And about

"Oh, yes" says she. We've decided
to stay over. But we-er-we shall
not need a suite, you know"
That told it all, and I hope I kept
my eyebrows down. Every WELL"

And when I'd led 'em into the living
room the lanky youth proceeds to
write in fourishy hand, "Mr. and Mrs.
Vernon Yetter, New York"
And now, dearie," says Mrs. Yetter,

I suppose that would have been all
there was to it if Inez hadn't drifted
by just then and 1 had asked her to
turn down the beds in the south
chamber. But trust Ine5 to drop a
monkey wrench in the gears.
"Hey?" says she. "Only one room?
Where's the boy gonna sleep?"
It wouldn't have been quito SO bad
him. That clinched it. There was
no mistaking who she meant. He
took one look at her, another at Mrs.
Yetter and then had the good sense
to trickle through the door before
the explosion came.
For that is what followed. First
the lady worked up a rich maroon
color, then her eyes got bulgy. and
next she began to splutter gaspy.
What do you mean, boy?" she de-
manded. where's any boy, I'd like
to know? Say. il YOU think we came
here to be-"
"Inez," I breaks in, Twill you kind
ly go up and fix the south chamber
for Mr.. and Mrs. Yetter? AT once. If
you don't mind" And I added a
vigorous nod toward the stairway
that got her in motion.
Next I turned to the lady. who was
still throwing off verbal sparks.
Sorry" says I. my assistant didn't
mean anything"
"Oh. didn't she" says Mrs. Yetter.
"well, I call that insulting The very
idea Of her saying a.

merely the Swede Of 1t. They mean
well enough, but they can always say
the wrong thing at the wrong time.

wasn't sure myself, at first"
You wouldn't think they could
swallow it in gobs like that. But
they can. Especially after they're
past forty. "Ohw says she, ducking
her chin coy. "You didn't, really, did
you?"
"Why not?" says I. "Of course you
are different types. but SO are lots Of

Inez, land he calls her Pally."

that proves nothing to me. Edge

So Inez joins me where we can
both get a view, and we made it
a thorough one. The lady is a
bunchy, full-lgured female. with a
lot of dark hair that's had henna
treatment which didn't take to
any extent. T should guess by the
flush under her eyes and the natural
ruddy spots on her cheeks that she
had rather a high blood pressure; also
that before she had her eyebrows
plucked they must have been almost
bushy. Anyway, she's a ripe party,
and still full of pep. You can tell
that by the frisky look in her full,
dark brown eyes. And most likely

Co. Operation to End Huge Waste.


There are 946,419 retail shops in
the United States, or one to every
III inhabitants, according to figures
compiled in response to a congress
sional resolution of inquiry. The
wholesale establishments number
$1,000, or one to every 80 retail shops.
Nearly million retail stores in
the country, most of them treading
on each others heels and competing
on a cut-throat basis for the other
fellows businessl What a ridiculous
commentary upon the alleged EFF
ciencyn of modern competition. The
tremendous waste involved in dupli-
eating rentals, advertising, delivery
costs, salaries, and other overhead
sales expenses, let alone the continu-
Gus waste of small scale buying with
proportionately higher transportation
casts, is enough to turn every sane
person in the country into a co-opera-
tor over night.
The great gains made in this coun-
try by the large scale production are
being more than dissipated by ineffi-
eient distribution. The farmer gets
but Doc out of every dollar which his
finished product brings, the industrial
worker but BIC. This gigantic econo-
mic waste can and must be stopped by
cooperation.

OLDEST COOP
HAS ESTABLISHED
FINE RECORD

The Lockhurst Lane Cooperative
Society of Coventry, England, was
founded in 1892, and claims TO be
the Oldest cooperative society now
In existence. TIE society came into
existence with nine members, who
finally invested five pounds each by
having in from two to six pence
weekly. Membership was to be linn
tied to forty persons and profits were
to be divided equally, irrespective OF
the amount of each members pat
ronage. The annual trade for 1882
amounted to $500.
For many years it ran on prin-
ciples different from the ROchdale
societies, which came into existence
much later. As it was expressed by
the secretary Of the society, the So
ciety was as niue hike a co-apera-
tive society Of today as chalk is like
cheese" In 1865 it was decided to
change the policy to conform with
Roehdal cooperation, and it has been
conducted as a Rochdale cooperative
since.
Little progress was shown until the
society completely changed its tactics
and adopted the Rochdale principles.
Since then il has experienced a re-
markable growth. BY 1900 it had a
membership of go, a capital Of $70,-
600. and an annual trade of $4,000,
on which there was a return to MEM
bers of about $4,000.
Within ten years more progress was
shown. BY 1910 there were l,524
members, $4,000 in capital, an an
nual trade fs215,000, on which there
was a saving for members of S40,500.
In 1920 the society had a membership
of 4,116, 100000 capital, its trade
for the year amounted to SS50,000,
and returns were made to members
of $65, 900 for the year.

Insurance Field Also Invaded.

One Of the most successful forms
Of Consumers cooperation in the
United >States is seen in farmers fire
insurance. There are about 1000 of
these mutual fire insurance COM
panies. They carry insurance ex-
ceeding S5,250,000,000 on property
valued at nearly $1,000 900 900. This
insurance is carried at one-half the
rate charged by the commercial com
panies. The insurance is cheaper,
because the expenses are less and
the moral hazard is largely removed.
These fraternal and insurance socie-
ties are not yet connected with the
cooperative movement.
