CO-OPERA TIOXâ€"A GAME FOR TWO True to their promise some months ago that they would institute a co- operative store if the prices asked for food materials in the markets at hand were not materially reduced, Olencoe women have set about the accomplish- ment of their threat. At a meeting held in the Evanston Woman's club building Monday night operations were initiated toward the organization of a company to work out details of the venture and a subscription for funds begun. Some five hundred dol- lars were subscribed from the few at- tendants at the session, and hope is entertained that other hundreds and even thousands may be forthcoming In the near future, thereby assuring to the residents of the village an end to x the payment of unreasonably high :%' prices. v It Is charged by the operators of the /food shops in. Olencoe that they are |f obliged to charge exorbitantly for the ^^jtnaterlals they sell because of the :ft|W*CtIce of the5 people whom they |§|sei#eot doing the greater part of their bttainesa with Chicago markets, utiliz- JiMttg the home store only for small pur- x|3*hafes and for emergency occasions. p||tt' r^ply, the consumers of the village J^||sjiwert that it is necessary for them *l2's|u» '-Avmil themselves of the cheaper •?»*te in the city because of the lofty scale of prices at home. And so it goes, around the circle. ment of the ease with which popular favor may, or may not, be enlisted for a measure, Implying as it does that men may change their minds,:":Wi] easily as their coats, the trwMpfl**- of the principle of the referendum;i» seen at once to be nil. Not only that, but the instability of law and government which must surely follow the wholesale use of the weapon in the bands of eloquent, but Irrespon- sible, agitators grows appalling In it* possibilities. m:« Perhaps when the co-operative store of the future becomes a fact in Olen- coe, if the patrons of it continue to do their ordering in person and to carry their purchases home, thus obviating the necessity for telephone and deliv- ery service, they will And their prices •till remain low. If, however, they insist upon the same attendance and praetice the sam« tactics of dealing largely with Chicago merchants, the co-operative store will have either a ii*a»eteoric career or it will be com- jtelled to adopt the same principles as 1**8*0* merchants before have done.

OH LORD, BOW I.OSQf -â- â€¢ ...â- â- ;.{ Patience somus to be the virtue for cultivation by th" residents along the north shore in n>« matter of inter- cepting sewers far their villages. lASt week after the visit of the trustees of the sanitary district for the pur- pose of making a tour of inspection over the proi*>«"<l routes of the sew- ers, patience was replaced by hope in the hearts <.f anxious citizens. They continued to entertain that pleasant sentiment until after the meeting Of the trustees in Chlrago last Thursday, when it gave way to the quiet and al- most Impassive waiting which has characterized the attitude of north shore residents for the period Of the thirteen years during which they have dutifully and almost cheerfully contributed their taxes to the sanitary district, trusting that some day they should reap the reward of merit Mid be given the sewers they need and want. If, Indeed, virtue is its own reward, then these people, have been blessed. If tbey expected something more tan- gible, they havo still to wait a little longer. The signs, however, are hope- ful. The trustees appear friendly and Interested and altogether the pros- pect is rather favorable than Other- wise. It may be that they are to be required to serve the seven years and then yet another seven, as did Jacob for his beloved, In which case the end is near. In the meantime they will have developed a capacity for long suffering and patience which should arm them against any adversity which a fickle fortune may bring. % X * GOOD FOR THE SORORITY G1RLBI Sorority girls in the Evanston high school have won the admiration of the citizens who were opposed to thOSC organizations by the womanly dignity shown in their compliance with the expressed wishes of the school hoard and of their own alumnae. Other communities in which a bitter war- fare has not been able to do more than crush the outward evidence of the existence of their Greek letter so- cieties may well envy Evanston the amicable settlement which has been wrought by the tact of the school board and faculty and reasonableness on the part of the girls themselves. Such an attitude toward those higher in authority and possessed of the Wis- dom of experience, will go farther to- ward the re-establishment of tSSPeetfâ€"'bA* for secret societies as they hate exist* ed In the high school, than any other course could have done and Will r** Bult in a feeling of friendliness bS- tween teacher and pupil and among the student body which should bring compensation for the loss of the more intimate but narrower relation be- tween society members. tSviif We congratulate the girls* of th* sororities, the members of thS bOATd and other school authorities on this happy solution of a much-vexed prob-! * m # ;-^v fy- LATENT HEROISM.

Explain Voluntary Aotion. In explaining their attitude, the young women state that they are con- forming with the wish of the alumnae and also with public sentiment, in abandoning the societies.

The closing night of the festival was devoted to excerpts from the works -M.tWtgpier and furnished s* eVe«nlgl'â- |^^VwAsâ-  replete with mo- ments of highest artistic achievement. No nioin worthy exponents of the art of Wagner could possibly be se- cured than those enlisted for the even- ing. The Chicago Symphony orcnes- tra, under Mr. Stocks direction,have long had an enviable reputation aa in terpreters olI tike Wagnerian idiom aa expreaaed through the orchestra, anti the evening's program again served to demonstrate, how richly that reputa- tion is deserved, stirring readings were accorded all the orchestral num- bers and the accompaniments that were supplied for the various solo and choral numbers were splendidly ef- fective. The chorus, notwithstanding the strenuosity lvt the week, were once more on hand And accomplished One things. Save for one or two devia- tions from the pitch and an occasional moment of unsteadiness, from which quick recovery'was made, its efforts were of the same high standard which throughout the week had contributed so much to the effectiveness of- the various programs. But the bright, particular star of the evening, as, indeed, is always the case when she is concerned, was Schumann-Heink. with the exception of a few more gray hairs and a few more medals, there Is no apparent change in this wonderful woman. Time deals most gently with her and there was evidenced no diminution of vocal resource or waning of vocal power. The Same magnificent voice, coupled with the same unusual charm of personality that has endeared her to the American public, again served to demonstrate her popularity. "Senta's Ballad," from the "Flying Dutchman/' was given in inimitable fashion and so moved the audience that recall after recall was given be- fore the insistent applause would dlo down. Later In the evening, after an inspiring rendition of the famous Biensl aria, "Gerechter Gott," and In response to frantio salvos of applause, she sang Wagner's "Dreams" In fash- ion that furnished one of the greate|t moments of the entire festival. ^ ....- ^mMm a star. - Clarence WhitetrJll, also of Bayreuth fame, was. the other star of the even- ing, and he gave of himself unsparing- ly. , There la no disguising the fac that ne was vocally weary, but that Is small cause for wonder when We consider the' rigors of the o^ertitfe. season through which he has Just psssed. Nevertheless, he gave vital interpretations of ills, number»^:^ng-- ing them with a dignity and poise tiWi Is most unusual in the operatic singer transferred to the plainness el tne concert stage.

All Cnlngn considered, there can be no doubt that In every phase this has been the most successful festival that has yet taken place, and it It not un- likely that it will be no small cause for concern as to how that standard shall be maintained In future years. Aftermath. One of the most Important results of the festival Is the fact that Mr. Oldberg's "Symphonic Variations" in F minor are assured a foreign pre- miere under most auspicious circum- stances. The violinist, Ysaye. is him- self a conductor of prominence, being the director of the Brussels (Belgium) Symphony orchestra. He expressed himself to Mr. Oldberg as being much Impressed with the distinctiveness of his composition, and asked that he might be permitted to bring the varia tions to their first foreign hearing at the opening concert this fail. It is cause for congratulations to be extended to the management when it is known that the final accounting will show a profit of between $1,500 and $2,000. So tar as we can ascer- tain, this is in the nature of a prece- dent for festivals in this country, es- pecially when the comparative youth of our own Is considered. Dean Lutkln confesses to having In- curred the largest laundry bill for any one week in his life. The "program boy" was, like the poor, always with us. Expressions were beard on every band that the decorations were the most effective that have yet been le signed for *"the time, the place, and the festival."
