CO-OPERATIVE EFFICIENCY.
What our race needs most at this
time is co-operative efficiency. What
is meant by this is the ability and dis
position to do team work in the ac
complishment of great tasks. The
race has many brilliant examples of
individual success. One man or one
woman has been remarkably success
ful in some given field. These in
dividuals have been pointed out as
examples of what the race can do,
and the race has been given credit as
a whole for the genius and progressive
spirit of these successful individuals.
The serious side of this is that it
has been almost impossible thus far
to work these strong, progressive
characters into a great co-operative
effort for the accomplishment of some
monumental undertaking that would
bring credit to the race. A combina
tion of thrift, business ability and
capital is sadly needed for the em
ployment of our youth on a large
scale. Our schools are sending out
well-prepared young men and women
each year, and there is nothing ade
quate being done in a co-operative
way to give encouragement and sup
port to these young people. One man
may run a skiff, an express wagon, a
small store or a farm, but to run a
river packet, a transportation line a
department store or a factory requires
a combination of capital and business
ability on a large scale. One of the
essentials in co-operative work is con
fidence—confidence in the ability and
integrity of your associates and con
fidence in the final outcome of the en
terprise. It often becomes necessary
for an associate in business to yield
or subordinate his opinion. This is
done by frequent conferences and the
interchange of opinions. When there
is suspicion and an eagerness for im
mediate results, business enterprises
among us often fail. The power of
initiation should be cultivated. It is
not enough to be able to find fault
with a plan proposed by another. This
is the principal virtue some business
associates possess. Let there be more
co-operation and a more genuine loy
alty. The race cannot succeed with
out these. — National Beacon Light,

A child is bom in the neighborhood,
the attending physician gets $10. The
editor gives the loud lunged young
ster and the happy parents a send off
and gets $0. When it is christened
the minister gets $10 and the editor
$00. It grows up and marries. The
editor publishes another long-winded,
flowery article and tells a dozen lies
about the "beautiful and accomplished
bride;” the minister gets $10 and a
piece of cake and the editor gets $000.
In the course of time it dies. The
doctor gets $25 to $100; the under
taker gets from $50 to $100; the edi
tor publishes a notice of the death and
and obituary two columns long, lodge
and society resolutions, a lot of pretty
poetry and a free card of thanks gets
$0,000. No wonder so many editors
get rich.—Exchange.

VOTE FOR MICHAEL CLARK
I want all voting men
To hear this kind remark,
When I vote for Sheriff
I’ll vote for Michael Clark.
He is a trusty good road-officer,
I am sustained in this remark,
And all of our boys in November
Will vote for Michael Clark.
He’s a man that's not cranky,
I’ve oft heard this remark,
He’s a man that is very careful
Not to do things in the dark.
He never uses coarse expressions
To the crew on the car,
When he has to call them down
He’s careful not to go too far.
He never acts the critic
In a sharp and cutting way,
He says a prestige gained policy
Is by guarding what you say.
To get the best a-going,
I’ll drop this kind remark,
W7hcn you vote or Sheriff,
Be sure to vote for Michael Clark.

BROWN CREEPER
(Certhia famlliaria americana)
Length, five and one-half inches.
Range: Breeds from Nebraska, In
diana, North Carolina (mountains),
and Massachusetts north to southern
Canada, also in the mountains of the
western United States, north to
Alaska, south to Nicaragua; winters
over most of its range.
Habits and economic status: Rare
ly indeed is the creeper seen at rest.
It appears to spend its life in an in
cessant scramble over the trunks and
branches of trees, from which it gets
all its food. It is protectively colored
so as to be practically invisible to its
enemies and, though delicately built,
possesses amazingly strong claws and
feet. Its tiny eyes are sharp enough
to detect insects so small that most
other species pass them by, and alto
gether the creeper fills a unique place
In the ranks of our insect destroyers.
The food consists of minute insects
and insects’ eggs, also cocoons of
tineid moths, small wasps, ants, and
bugs, especially scales and plant lice,
with some small caterpillars. As the
creeper remains in the United States
throughout the year, it naturally se
cures hibernating insects and insects’
eggs, as well as spiders and spiders’
eggs missed by the summer birds. On
its bill of fare we find no product ol
husbandry nor any useful insects.
