COOPERATION on NEW LEVELS

President Coolidge, in a recent
message to the National Council Of
Farmers Cooperative Marketing
Associations assembled in Wash
ington, declared that the develop
ment of forms of cooperation
among producers and consumers is
one of the basic needs of this per-
iod of readjustment. 1t cannot be
said, asserted President Coolidge,
that the cooperative idea has found
any great Judgement in the actual
practices of the great majority of
the American people, but it must
find increasing favor, because all
Americans are at once producers
and consumers.
Americans have been so strongly
individualistic that 1t Is easy to
overlook the numerous forms or
cooperation that have taken root
among us. The business partner
ship is form OF industrial coop
Grafton. Corporations that are
trusts instance the same thing.
The stock exchange is of the same
intent. Division Of labor and large
scale production have greatly
tended to increase industrial CO.
operation and interdependence. To
these must be added various forms
of cooperative effort among farm
ers and consumers.
There is much to show that CO.
operation in business, industry and
finance is today reaching new and
higher levels in this Country. The
Federal Reserve Banking System.
which must be counted part of the
best banking legislation the United
States ever enacted. is a form of
cooperative endeavor that has
united the banking strength Of the
Nation. without robbing the bank
ing business of its competitive and
individual character.
The Northwest Agricultural FL
nance Corporation that will coop
crate with the War Finance Cor
poration to assist embarrassed but
solvent bankers and farmers of the
Northwest. is another example OF
cooperation on new and higher
level. No one will be helped who
is not worthy or who can help him
self, but the financial resources of
the Nation will be modified to
points of greatest need.
These are but a few examples,
among many that might be cited. OF
the growing forms of cooperation
in the industrial life of the Nation.
1t looks as if individual initiative
and helpful forms of cooperative
effort are being fused and extend
ed into new and higher synthesis
of individual and social good. II

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Along the road of Beanstalk Land
strobe the funny giant with. the
Twins in his pocket.
Snap, the giants dog, trotted be-
hind.
81 do wish we could see things"
whispered Nancy. Lets try and
climb to the top of this big pocket
For the giants pocket was as big as
the whole front of house, nearly.
"Stand up on my shoulders" said
Nick, land maybe you can see over"
ooh, here's something we can
stand on" exclaimed Nancy, not too
loudly, for she didn't want the giant
to hear. "It's the giants pipe.
Come on, Nick. Get up here and
you can see fine. Oh! Oh! How big
everything isl"
Nick climbed up and both Twins
stuck their heads out Of the giants
pocket and looked around. But
Snap spied them and started to bark
so loudly they pulled their heads in
again.
They were just about to jump
down into the bottom of the pocket
again when big hand grabbed the
pipe and pulled it out. II think l
will smoke!' chuckled the giant.
"My wife doesn't like me to smoke
in the house, SO this is good
chance TO have pipcful, while l
am walking home"
He pulled out a match from an
other pocket as big as fence post
the match-not the pocket-and
struck it on his great wooden shoe.
"Ah, ha! Won't Lena surprised be
VIXEN l bring her home two little
kinder no bigger than dicky birds.
My, my! l hope she has some nice
hot trec-soup for dinner, and some
fried elephants!"
At that he put his hand in his
pocket again to gently pat his newly
found treasures, when suddenly he
cried out in his great voice: "They
are gone! The Twinses are not there!
Snap, where are those children? Did
you eat them 2"
I'll tell you what had happened to
the Twins. When the giant pulled
out his pipe, the Twins were stand
ing on it, and losing their balance
away they went!
But you'll never guess where they
landed. Not in thousand years!
They landed right on Snaps back!
But he was so big and his hair was
so long and woolly, and the Twin:
were so small and light, that wher
they fell on him he never felt ;
thing, but went trotting along at his
masters heels as though nothing
had happened.
"Snap, did you eat those Twins? ?
demanded the jolly giant sternly
"If you did, will smack YOU"
"Bow, WOW, wow!' barked Snap
not quite knowing what all tn
trouble was about.
-"Is that a yes bow-wow, or n
bow-wow asked the giant. "Well
guess it sounds like a no bow-wow
so I will not smack you. Now then
sir, we must hunt for those leedl
kinder. Your nose is such goo
one for smelling, Snap, We ought t.
find them"
But look as they would, the Twin
were not to be found. Nancy an
Nick had grabbed Snaps thick voc
