Sarah Bernhardt Grows Younger. Paris, Oct. 19.-(By the Associat ed Press).-Day by day, in every -way, Sarah Bernhardt seems to grow .younger and younger. Next Monday .she will be 77 years old, yet she is von the threshold of a busy winter of varied and exacting work. Listening io her plans for the season, one .would think the great actress had just attained her prime and was fu riously struggling in a tide of activi ties with the hope of being swept on to fame and a career of greatness. In the first place, the incompar able French artiste expects to appear in four plays during the coming sea son, creating new roles, and reviving others. Somehow she is going to find time to continue her sculpturing and 1er writing. Last summer, during-her stay at Belle Isle, she finished a bust of her son, and now has turned her fingers to a fresh piece of clay. Her new jiovel will be published next month. -Already her pen is busy on the manu script for another volume. It is to be "a book of advice to actors. Above all >else, Mme. Bernhardt will counsel vthem "lo be sincere." "I ou^ht to go to America," she /said tho other day. "America de mands me, and I certainly shall go there. I should have gone this year, but I ir.ust reckon with my age. Perhaps I will not have time to do all I wish to do." Mada.ae Bernhardt will make her first appearance of the season upon the stage of her own theatre in Paris in a revival of Maurice Rostand's ""Glory." Later, with Lucien Guitry, she will give the first performance of a play written for them by Lu cien Guitry's son, Sacha Guitry. , "It is a long and fine dialogue," Mme,. Bernhardt said, in describing the Guitry work. Her third role of the season will be "The Sphinx" in the play of that name by Maurice Rostand, and after that she will appear in "The Man," written by her granddaughter, Mme. "Verneuil, wife of the playwright. The Greatest Economist. Henry Ford does not love Wall Street, nor Wall Street Henry Ford; yet from the Wall Street Journal comes perhaps the highest praise the manufacturer has received. That publication credits Ford with having expounded "the greatest economic truth in the world today a truth that seems generally to have escaped observation," and with be ing literally "the most practical eco nomist in the world." The "truth" referred to is the idea set forth by Ford in a recent inter view, that the greatest benefit a wealthy man can confer on his fel low-men is to expand enterprise and increase opportunities, for employ ment. "Work itself," says the Jour nal, "is the greatest educational force in the world, and the opportu nity to work-opportunity to labor and secure the results of labor have made the United States the pos sessor of most of the value that is :in the world today." Very likely. And yet, somehow, a thoughtful person may not be quite satisfied with this veiw. A doubt aris es as to whether life isn't really more than jobs-more than automobiles even, and more than bank accounts. What if the worker, by the na ture of his work, is made a mere hu man automaton? And what if, hav ing done his work and earned his pay, he doesn't know what to do with his iv.oney or his leisure time? May be economics is not concerned with that problem, but surely philanthro py is. Henry Ford, though, to do him credit, has never posed as a philan thropist. Whatever his shortcomings, Ford seems to be honest. Where fore he might assent to a judgment that pronounced his whole career, with all its incidental benefits to so ciety, essentially selfish. The Ford family works for the Ford family, and the more it perfects manufactur ing processes and the better it pays its standardized labor the more mon ey it accumulates. And that, too, may bc all right. It may be that highly efficient selfish ness is what the world needs, at this stage of development.-Greenville News.

A Texas farmer, writing Farm a Ranch, says: "I have always be among the first in my community join farmer co-operative assoc tions. I believe in cooperation as t only means of giving the consume survice which they demand and th obtain adequate prices for the thin produced. Cooperation should low the cost of marketing, but it h been my experience that it does n always work out that way. Notwit standing past failures, I still fav co-operative marketing, but I som times fear that our apparent inabi ty to conduct our business econon cally will result in other failures ai halt the cooperative movement mai years. What can we farmers do make our marketing associations success?" Lack of personal interest in tl conduct of association affiairs, blir faith in leaders who sometimes fir the organization unprofitable 1 themselves, if not to the rank an file, and political steam-roller met! ods at annual conventions, are som of the reasons organized effoi among farmers faii. These thin lead to extravagance in number an size of salaries ?.nd create to heavy overhead. Sometimes, amb tion on the part of officials leads t attempts to develop the organizis tion's activities beyond the scop originally intended, and failure rc suits because support and strengt for proper maintenance is lacking. Farmers can only make their co operative associations a success b; adopting an approved plan of opera tion, and then by exhibiting a loya and active interest in association af fairs. Select members of the board o: directors on a basis of honesty an< ability and insure individual and col lective interests by proper safe guards in the constitution. If official: prove to be incompetent or extrava gant, replace them with others. Co operative marketing associations car not succeed if members refuse tc abide by their contracts, or if thej withdraw from the association ii affairs are not conducted properly. Ii each member considered himself a part of the organization and exer cised his right to know the source of income and what it was used for; if he attended the annual meeting, or delegated someone to represent him; if he actually co-operated with his brother members in making the or ganization a success, there would be fewer failures. Competent and honest officials make mistakes. They are not infalli ble, but mistakes "can be corrected. Give such officials your encourage ment and support. Dont give up the shipv One great trouble, in times past, has been the indifference of farmer methods as to how their organization was being conducted. They have let its affairs get into the hands of a few who have profited through misman agement, and when it finally "blew up," remarked: "Just one more fail ure to make co-operation pay." "Co-operation" means more than signing the membership roll or put ting your name to a contract.-Farm and Ranch.
