At the wharf there was no Betty.
Jimmy had wired several of his

AS soon as he could get through the
customs Jimmy took taxi to Betty $

grim. Betty would have been sur

And when he interviewed the janitor
and was told that Betty had been
taken to st. Martins, his good-natured
mouth was drawn into tight line.
At the hospital his inquiries took MN
to the second floor and memories
surged over him Betty. That night
she had leaned over him and told him
he must fight. The way he had come
to love her, Betty, her sweetness, her
unselfishness on every occasion; Betty!
If anything happened to her, life
would never again be the same. lie

and dimly he was aware of the fact
that he hadn't always been fair with
her. He shouldn't have stayed abroad

Fall of Leaves in Tropics.

We think of the tropics as having
a continuous growing season and
hence producing leaves that are CHIEF
ly evergreen. 1t is true that the trees
are evergreen In the sense that some
green may nearly always be seen on
them. But not all are evergreen In
the sense of keeping the same foliage
for many seasons. like our holly and
pine. Many tropical trees. for no
special reason, shed all the leaves on
one bOugh, then on another. so that
the tree Is gradually renewing its
foliage all the time. In others. all or

Eats Self to Death" I"

A Japanese confectioner, Giichi

in love. Life held nothing else, SO he
"ate himself to DEATH" With his
sweetheart sitting at the table oppo-
site him, he ate eggs and curry and
rice in large quantities and drank sake
whisky. Evidently his sweetheart did
not realize he was committing suicide
or 1t seems reasonable that she would
Zawa ate and ate. Finally he fell
unconscious and died within a few
hours.
This was indeed an unromantic way
to end a love affair. But hara-kiri
would have been no more death-deal.

Properly regulated diet, cutting down

trouble. A rum down condition or

By GEORGE HALoNEN.

When an average American radical
hears something about the co-opera-
tive movement, the most he does is
to shrug his shoulders contemptuous-
ly. A cooperative is to him only some
kind of a commercial institution, and
of what concern Is business" to
radical?
However, in spite Of the apathy
shown by most of the radicals to-
wards the cooperative movement, it
has been growing and is becoming a
mass movement. The last cooperative
congress is the best proof that it has
even in America become an impor-
tant, living, working class organiza-
ton
The cooperative congress. held in
Minneapolis, Nov. 49, 1926, was a
very representative gathering. Sixty
five regular delegates, representing
about 100000 members, were present.
In addition, about 40 fraternal dele
gates from different labor organiza-
tons attended, thereby proving the
closeness of the cooperative move
ment with the general labor move
ment
Democratizina the Movement.
The American cooperative move
ment has for the past years been in
nebulous state of formation. Prior
to this, there had been four congress
es, which were more or less of the
nature of mere formalities. Initiative
on the part of the rank and file CO.
operation was lacking. Various com
mittees of the congresses were sim
ply appointed by the president of the
Cooperative League In the first three
congresses there was practically no
discussion from the floor
This fifth congress was historic in
breaking these autocratic traditions.
Various committees were nominated
by the delegates and elected by bal
lot. Discussion was not limited to
certain appointed speakers.
These first signs of the process of
democratizing the league had a very
healthy effect on the congress. The
interest of the rank and file was
aroused. Thruout the session such
a strong progressive spirit was pre-
valent that the conservatives did not
dare to bring any mentionable opposi-
ton, altho many of their pet ideas
were killed outright
Side by side with the democratic
ing Of the league its policy is of main
Importance. The previous congress-
es had not defined the movement.
Every one had his own definition ac-
cording to his own. calibre and knowl-
edge of social affairs Most of these
definitions" were for class-collabora-
ton and even ignored the working
class picturing the cooperative move
ment as an abstract independent"
movement outside the social contra
dictions which had created this move
ment.
The fifth congress in a very decid-
ed manner declared that the co-opera-
tive movement is part of the gene
raj labor movement. The congress
adopted unanimously the following
resolution:
A Working Glass Movement.
Whereas, the cooperative move
ment in its nature is primarily
working class movement against the
present system based on profit,
And whereas a change in the pres
ent economic system of society can
be accomplished only thru the united
action of the whole working class.
