prices and trusts. We have repeatedly

way to economic independence. and we
tempt to put the doctrine of Corpora
iotn Into practice.
Some citizens of New Orleans have
formed a Consumers Household Sup
ply company. They intend buying a
largo farm from which to supply the
shareholders with many of the neces-
sarios of life. In the beginning the
products will be vegetables, poultry
and eggs. The company will be operat-
ed on purely mutual basis. with just
enough profit charged to pay the ex-
penscs OF operation. II the corporation
proves satisfactory II is said it Will be
enlarged and take Into its scope thou
sands of people.
There Is no reason why the stock
holders Of such A corporation should not
find living both cheaper and better.
The products OF the farm would be
brought to them at the actual cost OF
production. The profit would be their
own. And they would have good milk,
fresh eggs. poultry. vegetables. etc
They would. furthermore, In the sum-
mer time. have a place in the country
