Co-Operation Is

f '
Co-Operatora Assume Own
Risks. Bear Own Losses,
L. S. Herron Tells
Club.
"Co operation, in tha aconomic defi
nition of tha term, mean* tha prac
tice of aelf help in tha solving of
economic problem*.” *aid L. P. Her
ron last night, in speaking to the
Fellowship club of Millar Tark Pres
byterian church, at tha homa of C.
A. Hhodes, 3044 Curtia avenua. ‘‘Co
operator* do not aak for government
aid or outside help. They invest their
own money tn their co-operative an
lerprlaes, assume their own naks and
bear their own losses, if they have
any. All they ask from the govern
ment Is a free field."
4s a background for the discussion
of the philosophy of co-operation, Mr.
Herron sketched the development of
10 operative activities among Nebras
ka farmers. About -S years ago farm
ers of this stato began organizing
elevator companies. There are now
over 4.S0 farmers' elevators in the
s'ate. over t’OO co-operative stores,
• *"<>res of livestock shipping associa
tion*! and numerous mutual insurance
companies. The Farmers' Cnion of
Nebraska operates three co-operative
livestock commission houses and has
a large cooperative wholesale supply
house in Omaha.
I'p to this time, cooperation ha*
been applied to different problem* of
marketing and distribution as they
arose without much thought of a well
Planned system, Mr. Herron said.
New. however, there ia a gTowirg
group of persons, including citizens
of every nation in the world, who
have a well defined philosophy of co
operation and a definite plan of action.
Through co-operation applied to mar
keting. distribution and manufactur
ing, they believe that profiteering can
he prevented and trusts and monopo
1 es broken.
To show that the plans of the co
operatlnnUK* are not pure “dream
stuff. ' Mr. Herron cited the fact that
the English Co-operative Wholesale
Society of Manchester is operating
coal mines, has tea plantations in
Ceylon, operates steamships and has
factories for the manufacture of al
most all the necessities of life.
Carbon-Proof
Plug on Market
New AC Spark Plug Designed
to JCIiminate Cold Weath
er Annoyance*.
If you own a four-cylinder car, for I
example, and are "hitting on three,”
Just C4 per cent of your gasoline is '
being wasted, your oil is being thinned
out rapidly and excessive wear caused
in e'ery hearing and every cylinder.
Similarly, if you experience difficulty !
in starting your car you are wasting j
" your battery, your gasoline, and your
oil.
The arrival of cold weather in years
past has always introduced these
troubles to every motorist. This win- ]
ter finds experts of the AC Spark
Plug company offering a complete |
line of carbon proof plugs specially
designed for cold weather use and the
elimination of these winter annoy
ances.
The expense incurred by the waste
of gasoline through a missing, splut- 1
tering engine is sufficient to cause
e very motorist to consider the desir- 1
ability of plugs that remain efficient
in cold weather. It is easy to un- i
derstand that the dead cylinder con- ,
tinues to "inhale” its regular mix- I
lure even though it may he explod
ed. When a rich mixture is used, as
is practically necessary in winter, 1
there is a considerable quantity of
raw gasoline that remain at top of
piston and trickles down around the .
rings Gasoline Is an efficient solvent
of oil and the lubricant is soon cut ■
swny, the gasoline runs Into the crank j
c;ise and the lubricating oil is thinned ‘
cu t. with resultant excessive wear on ,
all parts.
To make an engine hit evenly and
smoothly In winter from the first turn
of the starting motor, the carbon 1
proof plugs are offered as a reliable '
way to avoid the ordinary troubles
of cold weather operation. There ^
plugs lirtVe a series of sharp, saw
tooth. high-temperature fins, girdling j
the inner end of the porcelain. These
fins attain sufficient heat to burn off ;
the oil and soot that are bound to 1
accumulate over an ordinary smooth |
surface porcelain when rich mixtures
are used and the choker pulled on
cold days.
Oldsmobile Takes Well
at Auto Show in Chicago
Charles T. Tucker, president of the
N'chraskn Oldsmobile company, re
turned Friday* from Chicago where
he attended the automobile show. Mr.
Tucker was Impressed with the pub

Draining Recommended.
Every motor car manufacturer
strongly recommends the complete
graining of the crank case at regu
lar Intervals. This is especially neces
sary during the early life of the
car. All owners have been educated
to recognise the necessity of this
practice yet few carry out the prop
er drainage schedule because of the
difficulty and messlness of the job.
The usual means provided for drain
ing the crank case is simply an ordi
nary pipe plug in the lowest part
of the crank case. To drain out the
01 f it is necessary to get underneath
the car, screw out the plug and then,
if possible, withdraw one's hands
quickly enough to avoid having the
oil (sometimes uncomfortably hot! in
undate one's arm and sleeve. Alt this
is obviated in the new Chandler car.
the Pikes Peak motor having a drain
ing valve operated hy turning a han
dle. readily acressibla under the hood
of the car. The operation thus la

Wilson King.
Wilson King, mechanical foreman
for the Richardson Motor Car com- |
panv, returned recently from the
Packard factory at Detroit, where he
spent two necks acquainting himself ^
with the construction of Packard au
tomobiles, Mr. King Is a strong
booster for Packard cars. The caro ■
given to each unit and the painstaking
exactness with which those parts are
assembled make sthe Packard such a
splendid mechanical achievement, ac- ■
cording to King.
The molnr is first run for 12 hours
under electric power, after which it is
torn down and each part measured 1
and made to fit to the one-thousandth
part of an Inch. The motor is then i
driven under Its o«1i power and put ■
through the same test as before. Two
more tests are later given the car.

Auto Shortage Caused
by Good Advertising
“Advertising of automobiles in na-1
tional magazines and newspapers has
been so well done in the last year
and during this winter that the sup
ply has just barely kept up with the
demand," says J. H. Hansen of the
J. If. Hansen Cadillac company. He
further slates that now, when the
enormous demand Is felt in every part
of the country, factories are unable \
to quickly Increase production.
A shortage already is felt in Oma-1
ha. Various concerns already are un- I
able to deliver certain models of cars
w hich have been sold and the cus- j
tenters are waiting until the shipments
arrive.
The opinion of several automobile j
dealers is that this shortage will be- i
conic greater from now on until the !
first of July than ever before in
the automobile history. All because j
many factories have permitted their i
parts stock and supplies to run low j
on account of the uncertainty In
prices. - - .
“Better automobiles than we have
had before to sell and remarkably
effective newspaper advertising are
not the least factors In this shortage.
Heed the advertising and buy your
car now. Spring is nearly here,” con
cluded Mr. Hansen.

New York has always been to me
the city with the golden halo. I
used to be a rlerk in a country hotel
and when a baking powder drummer

I saw Broadway as a dazzling crtP*
ciblo transmuting the obscure into
greatness. When Lottie La Mont's
Broadway Elite Repetroire company
came to town I fell in love with Lot
lie and walked up and down past
the opera house like a moon sick
calf.
Not even the news that her hus
band was the trap drummer and stage
carpenter and that Lottie bleached
her hair could shako my admiration.
For she came from New York—the
w onder •isle.
My uncle—the one who made the
round trip to Niagara Falls—was
somewhat of a traveler. He used to
take a New York newspaper in com
bination with a farm weekly. I read
each issue from cover to cover. 1
would go into the Depot Short Order
House for a T-bone steak and im
agine I was sitting at Rector's. No
city meant anything to me save New
York.
Then one day the whirligig of fate
landed me on Broadway. The second
nay I was here a stranger came up
and asked me for a direction. That
was the proudest moment of my life.
I figured that he took me for a regu
lar New Yorker. 1 belonged!
Main Street Through Glitter.
New York is still the mightiest of
cities and there is romance in every
block—hut. after living hero owhile,
the illusions hurst with a bang. You
begin to see Main Street through the
glitter.
Tho greatest personalities are just
every day foils—even as you and I.
I have sotn Otto H. Kahn, the big
banker, dodging taxicabs on Fifth
avenue with as much ridiculous"agili
ty as the veriest country bumpkin.
I have seen Pierpont Morgan as
confused over a French menu as a
leading hick from Jay's Crossing, la.
J have seen George M. Cohan try'to
enter the exit entrance of the sub
way.
1 have seen John Drew caught in a
revolving door.
1 have seen Robert Hilliard trip on
a rug in the foyer of the classiest ho
tel.
And I even saw the great Bern
hardt trying to push in a door that
was labeled "Pull."
And after living here a great num
ber of years I wouldn’t ride on an
escalator if they'd give me the city
hail.

The greatest man -about-tosfli New
