Problems Of Co.operation.

Men who have bad experience in
cooperative enterprises lay down
certain principles and forms of or
lanization which such a movement
ought to accept. But after all the
principal element in the success of
uch an effort, is the kind of men
who are put at the head of it. If
you choose men of ability and ex-
perience and Industry, it will in all
probability be a success. If you
don't have such men run it, It may
be organized OH correct principles,
but ii will run chances of failure.
How then shall a cooperative
movement secure and retain the SER
vice Of Aen Of sufficient ability to
assure its success? Sometimes a
group of farmers that contemplate
such an effort viii not be able to find
any one of their number who will
give the time necessary to carry on
the management Of their enterprise,
or they may not have anyone who
reels competent to undertake it.
ia HuCH case Iile cooperative
society may feel that il has to go
outside and hire its manager and pay
Z larger salary. But if It pays
enough to secure and keep a
thoroughly good man, the salary
may sometimes be too big for the
business done. If it does not hire a
thoroughly competent man, then it
may be worse off than if it paid more
for its executive work.
1t will pay for the people who
form cooperative enterprise to
give their own time pretty literally
10 carry it on. They may not seem
to get much out of it for time, and
it may appear as if they had to do all
che work and take the kicks. But
they are getting valuable experience.
AS the business grows, they are
becoming the leaders of the com
munity, and obtaining a reputation
for business competence and success
in their line. The men Of ability
Who give literally Of their own time
to assure the success of such a move
ment will not commonly regret it.

RED HEADS BEST?
Here Is Cnr Man Most Distinctly
Of That Opinion.
Professor Pearson Lifts Centuries-oId
Cloud Of Suspicion From the "Sor-
rel-Topped" Maiden.

Those metlculous men who are fus-
sy about the compilations Of their girl
frlends-who imagine that they pre-
fer blondes TO brunettes or brunettes
to blondes, and all that kind Of non
sense-may be interested by the news
that the character of the red-headed
girl has been indicated at last.
For centuries everybody has been
afraid of her, the other girls have
scandalized her and the fellows have
either fought shy Of her or else made
up to her with an air Of guilty bravo

the pace at all hazards.
The feriness Of her tresses has
been associated in vague way with
some interior fierlness Of temper or
affections or what not and mods and
winks have been considered sufficient
liz definite limitations that the red
haired woman was In class by her
self, mysterious.y and dangerously
more of a live wire than the rest Of
her sex.
But now modern pedagogy has
stripped the mystery and the menace
from the carrot-topped lass, and, after
an exhaustive analysis Of her perform
ances In comparison with those of
lasses Of other compilations. drawn
the conclusion that she excels them
all in some Of the most desirable
girly qualities.
Prof. Karl Pearson, in a lecture to
university and college teachers In
London, proclaimed that red-headed
girls-also boys, to be sure, but who
cares about red-headed boys -'are
today the most conscientious, the most
athletic and the most popular" And
he drew attention to the significant
changes of opinion regarding red
heads since medieval times, when they
were regarded with suspicion and
dislike"
Whether they have more peppery
tempers than black, brown or mousey
tressed lassies. the good professor did
not reveal nor did he dive into the
question Of their ardor In affairs Of
the heart. Perhaps he felt that he
had done enough for ruddy-halred
damsels by acclaimIng their superior
honesty, activity and likeableness.
Nor did he say anything about
freckles which are frequently assocl-
ated with red hair, especially in earli-
er years
