Educators and public spirited men and Womer
have been preaching and teaching cooperation Tor
many centuries and thereby, OF course, nave &C
cCrnplished great g0Ou 1Oi the human race,
We read almost daily in the various papers OF
international cooperation, Which means one ma
tom cooperating with another to put over some
move that is of mutual interest to both, or may
be several nations. Well the majority OF US
have vague Inauguration OF what TINS inter-
national cooperation MEANS but we are not Oil
ectly interested in it and, therefore, 90 not
give it very much thought or attention ano
pass it by as a matter OF course But TINS Is
not the only kind OF cooperation That EXISTS or
should exist with the human race. We have
national and international, state and interstate
and county and intercounty cooperation All OF
these different kinds of cooperation are work
ing wonders for the advancement OF the hui
man race, but there is none SO close to us per-
sonally as the county cooperation, for when you
get down to the county welfare you are getting
pretty close home.
There are many things that can be accomp-
lished for the betterment of this county thru
the medium Of good, sound pubic spirited &C, CO.
operation on the part of the citizen within the
county | will not try to enumerate the many
things that could be accomplished through this
medium. But the things that should be nearest
"A dearest to our hearts and interests are the
es that surround and. effect our everyday
des of living. Could there be an improve
on the methods and modes OF cooperation
among and between the citizens OF our town
and county. Well, should think that there is
plenty room for improvement along this line,
providing however, that the pro-rata of optim-
istic folks exceeds the pro-rata of pessimists,
which we think they do and we also think
that the latter class is diminishing rapidly.
We take for instance, the merchants and the
farmers of our county. On what cooperative
terms are they I have had numerous COM
plants from the farmers Of this section to the
effect that the merchants would not buy their
farm products, but instead would order their
produce and vegetables from the various fruit
brokers in the nearby cities. Well, what's
wrong here? On the other side of the question,
does the farmer patronize his home town mer-
chant or does he mail order most of his neces-
stiles? Judging from the information | have
this is true. There is awide gap between the
merchant and the farmer that needs sridge-
ing some way and the only way that this chasm
can be bridged is through closer cooperation
both parties and system of cooperative mark
citing for the farm products of this county.
The merchant cannot afford to waste his time
with small quantities and poor quality, there
fore he must buy his supplies where he can
get the quantity and quality desired He cam
not depend upon Dick, Tom and Harry keeping
him supplied with the necessary stock for his
customers, therefore, there being Farmers
Exchange in this town the merchants of the
town are forced to buy outside of the county

Ger the marshes, down the skies
Edged with night, and lone duck watching
With all that is sorrow in her eyes
This twas the Wing that splasHed the I. fnbowsi

Now it is broken wild heart flutters

THE MISSION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
By Frank Monroe Beverly

Ohm preached repentance down through JUDI;
DoWn tnro the wilds he came,
ma sinners locked there to hear him
Terms OF salvaIlon name.
lis meat was locusts and Wild honey,
Ills ranment cancels hair;
10 doubt the people viewed him strangely
reaching and living there.
Repent, believe and be baptized;"
salvation there is for all
lou must accept the terms now offered,
and hark repentance CALL
But Herod, king, to please his daughter,
men had the Baptist's head
Brought her on bloody charger,
charger his blood made red
So died the preacher of repentance,
But he had made the call
And told them that the terms accepted
uoos terms-would save them ALL
And since, repentance has been sounding
Down thro arcades of time
And all the souls on earth are hearing
