A new and versntilo dress, cnlled "the

They have worked out their task in
several ways, and ono example of
their successful effort is pictured

milliners say.
As everybody knows, ono of tho
storm centers of tho Sixty-sixth con
gress will rovolvo about tho pence
treaty nnd tho leuguo of nations. It
will not bo a question of strict pnrty
politics, either. A good mnny of tho
senators 6n cither sldo of tho political
fence think they know considerable
themselves nbout international nnd
constitutional law and purpose to be
heard, and party politics bo hanged.
Also, there is a general realization
that tho question is ono bigger thnn
politics.
Tho first clash In tho senate over
tho pence treaty occurred when Sena
tor Johnson of California introduced
a resolution calling upon tho adminis
tration to transmit immediately to con
gress tho completo text of tho 80,000-
word Instrument. Senator Johnson
tried to get action on tho resolution nt
once. Ho asked unanimous consent
for its Immediate consideration. Sena
tor Robinson of Arkansas promptly objected and tho resolution was laid on
tho tablo temporarily.
It is tho view of those senntors opposed to tho treaty and of soino of Its
friends that it was impossible to enter upon n detailed nnnlysls because
although It rimy be supposed that tho draft of the league sent over In tho press
dispatches is fairly accurate, there is no real knowledge of tho treaty with
Germany or of Its relations to the league.
The summary which was sent but was not only incomplete, but vnguo
and Inaccurate, it Is snld.

MANN AND THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
James It. Mann, representative
from tho Second Illinois district, whoso
portrait Is hero given, Introduced the
first resolution In tho house on tho
opening day of congress (II. J. Res. 1.),
proposing nn amendment to the Con
stitution extending tho right of suf
frago to women. Times change. Rep
resentative Mann provoked tho resent
ment of womnn suffragists years ago
by remarking, in connection with a
suffrage parade of women, "They
ought to be nt home."
Mann's position In tho house,
without being officially defined, Is In
fluential, no was defeated for speak
er in tho Republican caucus, lie was
offered tho position of majority floor
leader, but declined.
President Wilson's message con
tained a paragraph indorsing woman's
suffrage. Mnnn, ns tho new chairman
of the woman's suffrage committee,
etolo a march on the president by
parliamentary maneuvering and got the resolution well on Its way in advanco
of the reading of tho message.
Two days later tho resolution was adopted by a vote of SOI to 88, tho
necessury two-thirds totnl being 202. Mann got It out on tho floor In record
time and led tho suffrage forces in tho two hours' debate. Tho measure
evidently was not a matter of strict party politics.
Friends of tho measure professed to know that tho senato would also
pass the resolution.

THE GREAT WAR
When tho history of tho great war
comes to bo written Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Halg Is likely to find himself
a stormcenter. Anyway, nothing that
has occurred since tho signing of' the
nrmistlco hns so tended to exclto
American officers as tho full and com
pleto report of Marshal Halg, copies
of which have Just been received in
Washington.
Tho only mention which Marshal
Haig makes of tho Americans through
out tho report is his statement thnt
they occupied Coblcnz after tho sign
ing of tho armistice.
He ignores tho American divisions
which fought under him, and which
took tho lead in tho final British drlvo
on Cnmbral. Moreover, in account
ing for tho collnpso of German mili
tary power, he completely ignores tho
effect of American participation In tho
war, nnd the work of Pershing's army.

Every successful manufacturing es
tablishment has a well-organized sales
department, nnd mnny farm communi

manufacturer, cannot afford to give

The average farmer, however, finds
it difficult to glvo attention to mar
keting nccessnry to obtain tho best re

with production problems. Moreover,
tho limited production of tho nvcrago
farm ordlnnrlly prevents the operator
from obtaining tho, highest efficiency
in tho sale of his products. Individu

A co-operative mnrketlng association
having n sufficiently largo volume of
business Is in a position to employ
specialized marketing ability and to
keep informed with resp'ect to mnrket
conditions. Tho volumo of business of
Buch nn organization also makes it
possible to establish careful grading
methods nnd to sell tho products under
brands. Desirable outlets can often bo
developed nnd maintained through co
operative effort whero individual ac
tion is Ineffective. ,
Factors such as these, together with
a realization that marketing problems
n a largo measure are not merely In
dividual problems but arc difficulties
which confront nil tho producers In a
community, hnvo led to the establish
ment of co-opcratlvo marketing asso

CO-OPERATION GAINS
RURAL POPULARITY
Experts Say It Is Not Remedy for
All Market Problems.
Demand for Organized Effort Should
Come- From Those Who Unite to
Form Organization Members
Must Give Assistance.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Much has been accomplished by the
American farmer through co-operative
marketing, and organized activities
are gaining rapidly In popularity in
rural communities. While much may
bo done through co-opcrntlon, it is not
n remedy for all marketing difficulties,
say co-opcratlvo organization men of
the bureau of markets, United States
department of agriculture. Ono of the
precautions which must be observed
In tho organization of farmers' co-op
eratlvo marketing associations is that
tho demand for organized effort
should corao from those who unite to
form tho organization. Another im
portant point to bo observed is that
the organization should grow from a
strong foundation.
Tho mistake Is frequently mado of
attempting to form a largo central or
ganization before organized effort in a
small way has been tried out success
fully and tho details of tho plan care
fully worked out. Ono of tho causes
of falluro among co-operative organl
zatlons is lack of support from mem
bers, and on that account every enro
should bo taken to hold them together.
Ordlnnrlly a co-operative association
should cover only a limited area. If
tho territory included is too lnrge, tho
membership is scattered, nnd it is dif
ficult to keep tho organization intnet.
Ono of tho principal obstacles to
6ucccssful co-operation is tho selfish
ness of the Individual. It is Impor
tnnt thnt thov members understand
clearly tho purposes of tho organiza
tion and tho methods by which It ex
pects to accomplish tho desired re
sults, In order that they may realize
fully the responsibility resting upon
them. Tho members should not bo led

alized from tho outset that cooperative
action was necessary for growers to
agree on vnrletles and to work to
gether on disease prevention and eradi

problems. They also realized that effi
cient snlcs methods ore equally as im

has reached high development In many
Southern states, and county agents in
all parts of tho country nre helping
farmers to combine their shipments of

prices can frequently be obtained than

ing claims may servo to attract peo-
plo to tho association nnd mny assist
in its formation, but unless tho or
ganization 1h nblo to come up to ex
pectations theso claims aro likely to
renct strongly. Each member should
understand clearly that the success oi
his organization depends upon him
and that It Is his duty to do his part.
Selfishness, and petty jenlousles hava
no place In any co-operative undertak
ing. Lack of sufficient business to mako
operation practicable has caused
muny failures. A co-opcratlvo mar
keting association should not bo un
dertaken unless tho volumo of busi
ness avallnblo is sufficient to mnko
it worth while. As largo a member
ship ns posslblo should bo secured,
becauso thero is a direct connection
between membership and tho support
accorded to an organization. Disre
gard of this fact has resulted in tho
failure of somo organizations.
The attitude of farmers in a com
munity toward co-operative effort can
not bo Ignored. If tho growers hnvo
not reached tho stage where they aro
ready to give up Individual effort for
co-operntlvo effort, failure 1b of
course inevitable.
