THOUSANDS OF WILD
MUSTANGS IN STRIP

Thousands Of wild mustangs range
over the northern strip country of
Arizona. Usually they are the small
Indian pony type, although occasion
al members of the herds reach con
siderable size. The mustangs range
higher in the mountains than the
cattle in the summer season, and
generally descend to the lower levels
later in the season than the cattle
Their habit of feeding on the yellow
pine needles makes it possible for
them to range in the higher attitudes
after the heavy SHOWS have covered
the range to the cattle
The mustangs are in extreme dis

CO-OPERATIvES BEAT
PRIVATE BUILDERS

Locomotive Engineers Journal.
The city of South Shields, England,
wanted 229 workingmen's houses built.
The advertisement for bids brought
figures from seventeen private firms,
all eager for the chance to earn fat
profit from the deal. So did the Brit
ish Cooperative Wholesale Society.
The city officials held meeting to
consider the bids.
Without doubt" said the repre-
sentatives of the city, "this clever CO.
operative society has it all over you
private builders. Here is bid to un-
dertake the job at less cost per house
and guarantee to do the job up just
as we want it."
"Ah, but you must consider" said a
champion of the private builders,
"this cooperative society does not
pay the imperial taxes. You wouldt
give bid to a taxdodger, would your"
"You are mistaken" replied the
champion of the co-operatives. mo
cooperative lodges it's just obliga-
tions to the government. The law
says that the cooperative is in just
the same position as the wholesale
merchant and is entitled according to
law of the country to present its bid
There is no law on the statute book
to prevent it. a
Then another private champion got
busy "If you accept this co-opera-
tive bid" said he, "you would thereby
become members of the cooperative
society, which is trying to knock out
all profit from business. That would
never do" And a sympathetic shiver
ran down the backs of the champions
of big business.
Then the city's guardian took a
vote. "Twenty-one to seven," an
nounced the teller. "The Co-opera-
tive has it, gentlemen. The houses
will be built at cost and by the finest
workmanship the country can pro-
duce."
This is the biggest building con-
tract won by the British Wholesale
Society. With it the cooperative will
be able to prove by actual accom-
plishment the truth of its claim that
profit can be wiped out of building.
Over one-third of the population of
Great Britain stands behind the Co.
operative in it's latest venture, the
financial soundness of which is guar
anteed by the huge resources of the
Cooperative Wholesale Bank with its
yearly business of two and one-half
billion dollars.
