Modern War Fireworks.

The most elaborate fireworks IN the
world are those reserved for use IN
time of war. The possibilities of sig
mailing for long distances and of i.
Illuminating the enemy's position by
night have been carefully studied and
fireworks of unprecedented size and
brilliancy have been constructed.
Let another great war be fought and
the fireworks display would completely
eclipse our most elaborate Fourth OF
July celebrations. One of the most
beautiful of these fireworks is star
she'll. BY means of large rocket ar
rangement these stars are sent TO
great attitudes and on bursting throw
powerful white light over eonsid-
cradle radius.
The war rockets are the largest ever
constructed, measuring eight feet OF
more in length On exploding at great
attitudes combinations of colored stars
are set free which will signal widely
scattered troops.

teurize all milk and cream, cIIurn the
cream at temperature not TO exceed /

bel to no butter that exceeds the 16
per cent. limit of moisture.
The enforcement of such rules as
this tending to result in high grade
products is what is meant by con
troll" 1t is another of the big lessons
that Ireland has to impart to pros
pective co-operators. And remember
this: No stock company or private
creamery ever yet was able to control
the quality of butter by controlling
every step back to the feed before the
COW eats it. Consequently, no private
ly owned creamery can make such but
ter as cooperative butter.
Brands Must Be Used.
1t is not enough that the inherent
quality is high. The quality must be
evidenced in some way readily recog-
nizable by the public. Consequently
a system of brands and labels has
been devised for all products. BY an
| educational process covering years the
public as well as dealers have been
taught that the brand of cooperation
stands for quality. Consumers are
| taught to demand this brand as an
evidence of quality. Retailers find that
the brand sells the product without
advertising. 1t is therefore the pol
/ icy of Irish cooperation to have q
/ brand. The affixing of the brand GER
titles quality and makes the article
/ transferable at fixed figure. just as
the impress which the gold disk re
ceives in the mint makes 1t a SOW
ereign which passes current from hand
to hand.
An attorney, whose business has

where no one is fully informed as t

The Irish co-operators fully recognize
this principle. Certain standard form
of bookkeeping have been worked GU
and largely adopted; the best method
of keeping the books, and of maxim
