guilty party is still at large. The
trouble is with us. For example, when
we buy anything, do we buy it as we
did twenty-five years ago? No; we
pay for somebody's genius In getting
it ready for us. We are not willing
to live as we did once. l can go to
some farm houses in the spring and
find the back fences lined with tin
cans. The stuff is raised right there
but it is eaten during the winter from
cans purchased in the city stores. Con-
servation begins at home. We waste
enough stuff about the average country

Cooperative Markets.
The speaker then discussed at some
length the cooperative market systems
as they are in use at the present time
in the European countries. He told
of the methods which are in vogue in
Denmark, the idea of making the
goods conform with the market. This
was illustrated by telling Of how but

another to Berlin and still another to
London, because that Is what vas
asked for in those individual cities.
The method of stamping the eggs as
they were gathered was also brought
out with a full explanation.

price the consumer pays and that
which the producer receives. There
is surely a method to remedy that and
it remains with you to help to devise
a plan"
The long land lease was taken up
very fully by the speaker; he advocat-
ed the idea that a five or ten year
lease plan would accomplish. far great
er results than the present n of m
year terms.
