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

Why Organizations Fail.
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.

Constable.
Governor Harvey yesterday an
nounced the suspension from service
of State Constable H. L. Johnson of
York and at the same time announc
ed that he would, in all probability,
suspend Magistrate Bob Lee of York
county. Johnson has been conduct
ing himself improperly, the governci

tober 18 he and Magistrate Lee are
said to have been in an automobile
that i*an into another machine on the
public highway, both men being un
der the influence of some intoxicat
ing drink at the time, according to
information furnished the chief ex
ecutive.
Johnson is said to have offered to
pay the owner of the other car for
the damages and then suggested that
"they all take a drink," according to
the information received by the chief
executive. Johnson is also safd to
have been under the influence. of
drink at the fair at Rock Hill.
It was also learned yesterday that
two -.state constables had been dis
charged within the past week for
failure to perform work properly.
One or two others, it was indicated
yesterday, are under investigation
and may be called to account for
their negligence to "go and get the
goods."
