needed advice: "Let the directory

qualifications of their business agent ;
let them see that he is honest let
them see that he is of sound iudg.
ment and we'll adapted to the work
in hand let them see that he has
the needed experience and energy ;
and then let them pay him literally
and not hamper him with petty re-
strictions."

the above adds "that quite as import.
ant as securing the best practical
management for Grange enterprises,

that cannot be defended on other
grounds than those of absolute me-
cessity. There have been successes
in Grange stores, but where one doll
lar has been saved through their
agency ten have been saved by pur~
chasing through an agent, and TWEEN
" by eultivatine amicable and Just
relations with local business firms.
