The Vulgarity of Waste,
When you aee a housewife who
keeps bread lying around until It
molds; who permits mildew to get Into
the clothes | who allows her stockings
and those of her family to fall to
pieces for want of darning; who cooks
up a lot of food which she ought to
know will not be eaten and that will
be cast Into the garbage can; who
“thrashes through” her best frocks by
putting them on to do kitchen- work,
you may be sure she Is “tacky.” You
will never find a woman of that de-
scription who is not cheap and who
hasn’t a common streak In her as wide
as a gate. Well, it is exactly the same
with a people or a nation, aaye the
Kansas City Star. When yon tee a
country reckless In the use of Its re-
sources and heedlessly destructive of
the treasures with which It has been
endowed by nature, you can depend
upon it that it possesses the Ingredi-
ents of cheapness and Inferiority. We
laugh a great deal about the proverbial
disregard of the future commonly wit-
nessed In our "colored brother” as
long as he has a dollar In his pocket.
But what essential difference is there
between the complacency of ten *‘8ene-
gambian" with the price of a meal and
a lodging ahead, and the blind Indif-
ference of a country and Us people
that go ahead despoiling timber lands,
consuming coal with heedless extrava-
gance, permitting vast quantities oi
gas and oil to get away, and taking no
care whatever to make provision for
any reinforcement of the supplies
which It consumes. So, while the con-
gress of conservation at Washington
is in mind, let us not forget that the
wastefulness habitually practiced by
the American people is not only wick-
ed and hopelessly stupid, but that It
Is likewise cheap and “tacky” and re-
veals not one trace of sane Judgment
or proper breeding.

Canada After Settlers.
The Canadian Dominion has not yet
found it necessary to begin the con-
servation of resources, though the
time may come sooner than is antici-
pated. Just now the principal effort
appears to be to attract settlers and to
open up regions which the railroad
companies are desirous of having de-
veloped. The announcement comes
from Vancouver that the government
of British Columbia is planning to sell
vast tracts of land, having decided to
dispose of $5,000,000 or $6,000,000
worth this year. In the operations
the government will have the active
aid of one of the big railroad concerns.
An American has been engaged to
manage the deal, says the Troy (N.
Y.) Times, and part of the project con-
sists of laying out a model city, with
paved streets, sewers, water system
and other conveniences. Another
feature of the plan will be the employ-
ment of a landscape gardener to ar-
range surroundings that will be ornate
and attractive. All this la done with
a view to making settlers feel at home
and providing them with advantages
such are are seldom found In n fron-
tier region. The contrast with the ex-
- jferlences of the earlier pioneers In the
United States and Canada la Impres-
sive.
Automobiles have ruined ao many
macadamized roads that an Interna-
tional congress has been called to
meet in Paris on October 11 to con-
sider plana for saving the roads. The
macadam road, as everyone knows, Is
composed of layers of crushed atone
held together by a binding material
rolled Into the surface. This method
°* paring was devised tor tee nee of
Iron-tired vehicles. Aa the Iron-bound
wheels roll over the road they crash
the small stones, and the dust sifts
into the crevices between the larger
atones and binds teem soars tightly
together. With'Jndicloiia use, such a
road Improves with age. The aatomo

ber tire. This tire, Instead ed crushing

Meaning of Co-operation.
At the signing of the Declaration of
Independence in 1776, one of the mem-
bers of the Continental Congress ex-
claimed, “We must all hang togatoer!
“Yes," said another member, “Or we
will all hang separately.”
This truth so forcibly stated is ap-
plicable to the members of tee Farm-
ers’ Union today. I have stated time
and again, and I challenge contradic-
tion, that nothing can withstand the
onward march of the Farmers’ Union
as an order so long as it presents
united front to the outside world.
So long as we “hang together'
the order is Invincible. But when-
ever bickering, and strife, and dis-
sentaiions, divide and dislntegate the
membership, then Ehall we assuredly
“all hang separately.”
But what is the meaning of the Word
“cooperation?” To "operate” means
to act, to work, to exert power,
strength, and to “cooperate” means to
work Jointly with others, to "pull to-
gether” to accomplish definite remits.
It Is a simple matter—just to blend
our energies with thosd' of our neigh-
bors. It is making a single human
machine out of many Individual brains
and hands. We need hot and ought
not to lose our individuality, hut our
alms and the objects we wleh to ac-
complish must be in common with
those of our neighbors. It may spring
from the most selfish motives, or from
perfect altruism, but whatever bu (ke
motives teat inspires it, cooperation
multiplies individual effort and pro-
duces results, far beyond what could
be accomplished through the same
individuals acting separately or inde-
pendently, and not In harmony.
This is emphatically an age of or-
ganization. The church is organized;
merchants are organized, hankers are
organized—and why not the farmers?
It Is right to organize for legitimate
purposes, so long as no effort is made
to trample upon the rights of others.
But when organized greed tries to atiile
competition and to crush out the other
fellow—there Is where th4 harm comes
In. Bui organization has its prop-
er uses, and the farmers ought to
avail themselves of h.
Organization is a community of In-
terest; it is a machine made out of
lndlviluals; It s another name for
cooperation. The founders of the
Farmers’ Union Builded wisely
when they added the word “coopera-
tive” to Its name.
But what is to be gained by the
farmers cooperating through the
Farmers’ Union? Let us see.
1. To a certain extent they can con-
trol the prices of their products. They
may not do It in one year, or two
years, but in time they Will succeed,
provided they act wisely and will pull
together and s*lck together. It la said
that farmers will not stick together.
Now le the golden opportunity to prove
the contrary. Diversify your crops
and live at home so that you will be
Independent, and then stand together
for fair prices.
2. By cooperation In buying you
dan purchase supplies much cheaper
than when you act singly and alone.
3. It will enable you to resist those
who try to oppress you; it will aid you
in doing away with the mortgage sys-
tem, which le the curse of farmers; it
will aid you in Improving your neigh-
borhood. In securing good roads and
good schools tor your children In •
word, it will enable you to so improve
your condition that life will be worth
living, thus bringing joy ud peace
and gladness to the hearts of your
wives and children.
An old man lay dying, so the story
goes, and gathered his seven sons
around him. He bade them bring him
a bundle of seven sticks tied together,
and each son in turn rlsd to break
the bundle, but could not Untying
the bundle, even the youngest .child
broke each stick easily. What a lesson
in cooperation! Members of the Farm-
ers' Union, let the motto, "United we
stand, divided we fall,’’ sink deep Into
your hearts. In no other way can we
"garner the tears of the distressed and
bring laughter to the cheeks of inno-
cent childhood.”—Miestssippl Union
Advocate.
tee farmers the science of
ly marketing (he products of their
farms and the benefits of cooperative
marketing over that of oumpetltive
marketing or street peddling.
While it is true we have taught our-
selves that competitive marketing waa
proper and right, and have been taught
this by our commercial friends, yet
while we were competitively market-
ing our farm products, our commercial
friends were practicing cooperative
marketing of their goods.
They having learned that were they
to force their goods upon the world’s
markets (as the farmer lias his prod-
ucts), haring no regard for the world’s
demands nor the prices offered, selling
at any old price and within about
three months all of the goods neces-
sary for the world to consume in
twelve, would work havoc to their bus-
iness. The world would take advan-
tage of such foolish marketing and
bid prices down to such a low point
that there would be no profit left for
them, and they would be forced to
quit the business.
But the farmer will force upon the
market, within about three months, a
crop that It takes himself and family
twelve months to make and gather
and the world almost twelve months to
consume, having no regard for the
world’s demands nor the prices offer-
ed.
He goes to market single handed
does not belong to any business or-
ganization, does not know what the
rest of the farming world Is going to
do as regards the pricing and selling
of farm products, he has no system,
ho plans, no conception of scientific
business methods, but pours his prod-
ucts in a single handed way upon the
organised speculative world, vainly
hoping that the organised speculator
will pay him sufficient prices that will
give him something to exist upon while
making another crop for these organ-
ised speculators to gamble on. No
class of business could market In such
slipshod manner and even exist.
But the bid farmer living next to
nature caa allow himself to be sleeked
out of his year's work and the next
year nature comes to his relief again.
Quite different with the commercial
world. Even the manufacturer
would not think of marketing his goods
In such a reckless competitive way.
Come, let’s look into the system of
marketing as In use by the manufac-
turing and commercial world:
First, the manufacturer, instead of
throwing his goods upon a depressed
market in a reckless, slipshod, com-
petitive manner, places them in a
warehouse, preparing to hold for a
price that will give him a profit, and
knowing as he does that the only way
by which he can hope to get these
prices is by cooperating with every
other manufacturer, therefore he be-
comes a member of the Manufactur-
ing Association, and through this as-
sociation they are able to place a min-
imum price on the goods, and with the
goods properly warehoused they are
able to force the consuming world to
pay them their price; and the Jobber
or wb&lesaler are forced to pay them
their price, and they in turn, having
had no voice In prieng the goods when
they bought them, are forced to price
their goods as such prices as will give
them a profit; hence they can not af-
ford to rash into the world's markets
with their goods and sell at any old
price as does the farmer, but are forc-
ed to cooperate in pricing their goods.
So they take the goods and place
them In a store house (as It Is called)
which la nothing but a goods ware-
house, and they belong to the Met-
cantile Association, through which
they are able to price uniform or mini-
mum prices, and with the goods in
the warehouses they, are able to hold
tee goods away from the world until
the worlf will pay their prices. Thus
when the retailer goes to buy goods
he has to pay the wholesalers’ price;
and when the retailer gets them, id-
•toad of paddling them out at any old
price (as Ihe farmer does his prod-
ucts) ho places ’em In his store or
warehouse, preparatory to holding
them tor a price: And the majority
of these gentlemen belong to the Mer-
cantile Asaodstkm and with the goods
properly warehoused they are able to
pried and hold tor that price, thus
forcing you and me as consumers to
pay that price.
Now, what tee onion wants to do is
to teaebihe farmers this scientific sys-
tem of marketing. Let the mercantile
world become oar school master. Open
