THE BASE FOR CO- TO FARMERS OPERATION IS THE TRUE CO-OPERATOR Vegetatien drying up From Effects of Drought—Former Resident From A Ten Week's Travel In Far Woest, " The continued dry weather has dis- couraged many f ers and gardeners. {Their crops are drying up so that there will be nothing, or half the crops, to harvést, and the gr land is being burned so that they are afraid the grass next spring will be small. While wdl,. and brooks do not seem to suffer imuch as in some other years, the sur- i face of the ground is unusually dry. | Potatoes are drying up, and the vines !are turning yellow, and in many corn [ i v day evening. - Worthy Master Reed ;3 Loy uty whaieh x to lo- R.

Miss Frances Walker visited her cousins in Worcester and on Saturday took in the excursion to Nantasket. Harold Small has been at Wildwood Alton Smalk of the ( Written Speckally For The Builetin.) “Oh, yes; it sounds very fine: the theory seems to be alright: but why doesn’t co-operation work? Why do so 2w go in for it? Why does it fail? So writes one correspondent, who evidently wants to know the reasen for the faith that is in me, before he joins my party. “Why does it fail? The implication n this question’is that it always, or at | least very generally fails. Therefore 1 can’t answer the question, because | the implication contained in it is incor- | rect,—doesn’t state the truth. A great jmany attempts at co-operation have failed, perhaps some that my corre- spondent knows of. Br- a great many | have succeeded, are now _succeeding, and give every promise of continuing to suceed. The evidence thus far in- dicates that it has seldom if ever fail- ed when fairly tried out, under ci cumstances and in conditions as fav- | save, then that particular scheme will! the average business | fizzle sooner or later. < for establishing a pri- | better, too. are | not that a hundred men shall co-op- prable for it z man would a vat, profit-taking store. There €onditions under which no shrew;i mer- chant would think of attempting a gnerchandizing business. Likewise | there are conditions which make @peration extra hazardous from the | start. | But there have been fewer failures | of co-operative enterprises in the past twenty-five years than of profit-taking | businesses. Fewer in proportion to the numbers involved, I mean. “Why do so few go in for it? “Say, brother, ask me something easier! | Why did o few belong to the abolition party half a century ago, for instance, | when every man in this country with a heart in his bosom and brains in his | @ small co-operative enterprise for ten skull and a soul anywhere about him knew that slavery was a blunder and a | munity, and haven't had, all told, more crime? Why was the Master unable | to find more than twelve to be His | apostles—and one of them a grafter? Why is every attempt at reform, every movement for good, very uplift after | greedy we've had to force them out: righteousness slow to win popular | favor and general support? These are questions which go to the root of human nature and would need [sa\'inss: to be treated In octavo volumes. “Why doesn’t co-operation work? Again T must protest against the form of the question. It does work:—in most cases where it is fairly and hon- estly tried. But it fails sometimes, I'll admit, Why should it? Well; the reason isn't far to seek though it is rather hard one to express without grave danger of making some- body mad. When a sanely organized and proper- Iy located co-operative enterprise fails, the cause, nine out of ten, is in the solemn fact that the members are mor- ally or mentally unfit to co-operate. Now get out your clubs and your | horse-whips! But, before you strike, hear. Co-operation is really the Golden Rule applied to business. “It requires brains, grit and gumption to co-ope- rate,” writes one experienced leader in the work. True, so far as he goes. But it requires something more. It demands that the co-operator shall be willing to work for the interests of his | neighbor as zealously as for his own, | casional failure of co-operation is not just so long as the work tends to a mu- tually equal profit for both. It demands | eration. that he shall stop trying to grab more than his fair share. It demands that he shall do to his fellow co-operator as he would like that fellow to do to | him. | it is just proof that mankind isn't yet It insists, from the start-off, that the Satanic rule of “every man for him. self and the devil for the hindmost, It calls thread in the hank to twist itself with | pon each indivdual the other threads into one cable, so that the strings which, separately, wouldn't have tied a cat, combined | may hold an Imperator to its anchor. To be fit for co-operation, a man must be able to see tne reasonable- ness and logical force of this. And not | all men have brains cnough for that. He must be able and as willing to ghare his own chances for profit with his fellow co-operator as he is anxious to have that fellow share with him. And not all men have souls wide enough for that. He must also have determination enough, when once he has put his hand ' 1o the plow, to hang on till the fleld is | finished. And not all men have grit| enough for that. i Co- | hundred. Right there | advantage that they have dropped out | responsibility that they have steadily joperatinn and, at thegsame —to gobble, not only his own share of the swill, but as much of the other pigs’ share as he can. There's great similarity between | some pigs and some people. Don’t forget please, that any oc- abandoned, rejected, | as take: who are capable of the Square mon” sense. And all men are not noted for their gumption. The trouble that a great many men have gone into hastily devised at- tempts at co-operation without first taking a good squint at themselves be- | fore the looking-glasses of their own consciences to see if they were person- ally fit for the high and honorable cailing. They may have subjected their neighbors to a little scrutiny of this sort but they have omitted to, reckon up with themselves. Kach one; has taken it for granted that “I am al- | right” when, in too many cases, he himself needed watching quite as! much as Smith or Jones. If a hundred men combine to co-op- erate in any way, and events later show that half of them are in it for what they can individually make or! The sooner the | The idea of co-operation is | erate for the benefit of any one or a dozen of any fifty, but each and all for | the mutual advantage of the whole| is the stump which too often tips over the whole! apple-cart. Some clique undertakes | to over-reach the others by just a| hair's-breadth,—to gain for themselves an adwantage, perhaps of only a few pennjes. Instantly suspicion and mis- trust thicken up and the sky gets cloudy before you know it. Then look out for squall I've been intimately connected with yvears or more. We are a little com- than sixty or eighty members. Of the whole lot not more than twenty have hown themselves fit for co-operation. ome have been so frankly selfish and some have been so intent on their own rather than see others share in their some have been so intel- incapable of appreciating their lectually unloaded all their own share of the burden on the overworked shoulders of the manager: a good many have naively demanded without apparent thought of the inconsistency, that they skruld be treated with specfal consid- eration and given speclal privileges. Not over twenty have been mentally | able to comprehend the meaning of co- time, al- truistically willing to® work for abso- lute equality in the distributio: of work and reward. I suppose that human nature is about the same here on Podunk Hights that it is elsewhere and that the same con- ditions prevail, in the main. There’s no use in trying to preach co-operation to a litter of pigs. The idea of every pig is to get not only his nose but his forefeet into the trough: evidence against the principle of co-op- It is merely an indictment of the would-be co-operators. The fact that the Golden Rule isn’t the supreme law of mankind is no cause for disputing the Rule’s worth: up to the code. Men who are wil ing to give as well Deal all 'round, for themselves as well as for others and for others as well as for themselves,—such men will never fail to find advantage and profit in cos operation. But the man who goes into it with- out any thought except of his own pocket, or who goes into it because he thinks he sees how he can “work it” to his own personal advantage—that man s not fit for it. It is he and those liks him who cause the occasfonal fallures which the en- emies of the system harp upen, The Sterling mark on silverware means that the ware is pretty goed stuff, The fact that any ce-operative enterprise can be and is suecessfully carrded on in any community is preef that the manhood combined in it is steriing, It fails enly when the attempt is made to pass brummagen or pewter He must also .have a controlling | quantity of that rather uncommon | thing which we strangely call ‘“com- | off as the real thing.
