COOPERATIVE BUYING.

The Albany, N. Y, Housewives
League has undertaken a novel expert
pent. 1t will employ an order clerk of
experience to take orders from the
housewives of the city for cooperative
buying. The purpose of the scheme is
to buy in large quantities and thereby
receive the resultant reduction. If the
League gets an expert buyer, if it
solves the question of speedy and salts
factory distribution it hopes that it will
lower the cost of living to its minimum.
The parcel post and the rural tree de-
livery brings the farms and the city
kitchens within reach of each other, as
the Albany Times Union says, and it
should not be difficult to get at first
hand the products of the farm at price
within reason and from which the profits
of the middleman have been eliminated.
From the farm to the table is but a
step these days. With the various aids
given the farmers by the State, with
cooperative markets, with cooperative
societies, the farmer of today has an
advantage over his brother of the past.
With the various elements working
together in harmony, with the producer
and consumer in close touch and acting
in concert, the cost of living will come
down in the scale and the Housewives
League of Albany will share the honors
of bringing it to pass Burlington

Saving to Taxpayers.

A novel plan to capitalize street i'm
provement Indebtedness and use the
compound interest earnings TO retire
municipal waterworks bonds has been
adopted by the city council of Tucson.
Ariz The saving to the taxpayers will
amount to 100000 upon an issue Of
$165. 900 thirty-year bonds.
The plan was worked out by George
II. Smalley. secretary of the Taxpay
ers' association, and provides for the
investment each year by the city Of
about $1,000 in street improvement
bonds bearing 6 per cent interest. A
tabulated statement of the earnings at
compound interest shows that the
$1G5, 600 of bonds can be retired at the
end of the thirty year period at an ac-
tua cost to the taxpayers of $4,000
the compound interest upon the city's
street Improvement bonds making up
the difference in earnings during that
period.
The Taxpayers association is an in
dependent organization supported by
the large taxpayers, each member pay
ing a membership fee of , per cent on
the amount of taxes he has paid the
year previous. The secretary works
with the city ana county officials with
advice ana suggestions on city and
county affairs Several of these or
CARNATIONS are at work in Arizona.
and the savings to the taxpayers are
found TO total an enormous sum
through their efforts.

Farmers Cooperative Demon.
STATIONS

The Boston Chamber of Commerce
the State Department of Agriculture,
the State Grange, the State Dairymen's
Association and the Agricultural EX-
tension Service of the University of
Vermont and State Agricultural College
cooperating will hold four milk pro-
ducer's meetings in Vermont at the fol-
lowing times and places: Bellows Falls,
December II, 10 a. m; Rutland, De-
cember II, II a. M; Burlington, De
cember 20, II a. M; st. Johnsbury, De-
cember 30 ! a. m.
There is a wide spread feeling among
the farmers of Vermont that prices paid
for milk are too low to afford a reaso on
able profit after paying the necessary
expenses incident to the business. In
creasng requirements on the part Of
city boards Of health as to cleanliness
of diaries, the high cost of feeds, labor
and equipment, including dairy COWS,
have in recent years added materially
to the cost of milk production. The
dairyman feels that he is not receiving
high price enough for his milk to offset
the increased cost of its production
The difficulty in making both ends meet
is leading to a reduction of the number
of cows kept in Vermont and other New
England States.
1t is the earnest desire of the pro-
motors of these hearings that a large
number of dairymen attend them,
whether they are selling whole milk to
contractors or cream to creameries, and
state frankly all the facts possible re-
lating to the matter from their view
point.

WILD AND RURAL PARKS.
Benefits Which Each Afford to City
DWeilers.

Benefits Which Each Afford to City
Dweiers.
Wild parks are Il new development
in American cities, though they have
been known for centuries in Europe
They serve double purpose in provid
ing charming walks and the opportuni-
ty through picnicing and camping to
imagine oneself primitive man again,
and they also secure at small cost large
areas, which later on, if the city grows,
can be used more intensively as rural
parks Roads should lead through
them so that the incident may enjoy
their unspoiled beauty from a motor
car. AS the boundaries of the city are
extended new wild parks must be
bought, because as the city grows the
old ones will become large rural parks.
The large rural park, of which Cen
trail park, New York, is the first and
most famous example, is an American
invention. 1t attempts to reproduce
for the enjoyment of large numbers of
city people the beauties of an English
deer park or, in other words, to provide
for a democracy the delights formerly
reserved for the aristocracy. The
rural park Stimulates the beauty of the
country and brings to minds and
nerves, wearied by the rush of city
life, the peace and quiet which come
from the contemplation of rural
scenery.
The pleasure of the intellect and of
the senses is everything in a rural
park. Exercise, physical recreation.
social amusement. may be provided,
but must be kept subordinate if the
park is to fulfill it's purpose. Large
size is the first essential of such a
park, because its characteristic scenery
can only be produced by great extent
of meadow, shrubbery and forest.
Although the rural park provides in
the highest degree for the pleasure of
all classes, the physical features nee
essary to make its use possible by
great numbers must be kept out of
sight. Thus the roads and walks must
be inconspicuous and natural. not for

Horace Ward eaiIey-Verm nte

An appropriate memorial to Horace
w. Bailey, late United States marshal
for the district of Vermont has been
compiled by Judge Frank l.. Fish and
other friends and is now ready for dis
trbution. The volume is first a tribute
to Mr.. Bailey and record for future
generations of his researches in Yer
mont history as well as of his unique
and delightful personality. Every page
breathes the charming, genial spirit of
"Uncle Horace. - Fortunately the
compilers have not ''doctored" the
various speeches and newspaper articles
which they have included in the volume,
but have allowed them to remain in the
style in which Mr. Bailey wrote them.
The first six chapters are sympathetic
sketch of Mr.. Bailey's life and works
by Frederick p. Wells, the historian of
Newbury.
The volume is also a valuable contri
button to Vermont history. Mr.. Bailey's
zeal for the study of the early days of
Vermont was known to all his friends,
and this volume shows how thorough
were his researches and how wide his
knowledge. No student of the life
of Vermont people can afford to
neglect the chapters which preserve
Mr.. Bailey's his orical writings.
All in all the Bailey book is one of the
most interesting works published in
Vermont for many years. Journalists
will discover the authorship of some of
the most unique political writings of re-
cent decades. Best of all is the pleasure
of few hours in the society of Horace
Bailey, for the book faithfully reflects
his personally and makes the reader
feel that he is holding fellowship with
his good friend once more.
The book is well printed and contains
an excellent portrait. The committee
have appointed Frank H. Chapman, As
Mead building, Rutland, Vermont, to
attend to the distribution and as long as
the edition lasts he will send copies at
50 each. The books have also been
placed in the principal book stores in
the State for sale at the same price.

LOWER ALASKA RATES
 GIVEN BY COMBINATION

In the Post-Intelligence of June 20, O. l.. DickeusOu of the White Pass, is quoted as saying:
 The taking over of the lines of the Northern Navigation Company has given us forty-three new boats and fifty-six barges and a transpor- tatiOn system 4,3OO miles in length, the second longest in the United States or Canada, AJr. Dtckeuson continued:
 By cutting the overhead charges of two companies in halr, we will now be able to give better rates than ever before in the history Of the North. The time in hauling freight into Fairbanks and other points of the interior by way of Skagway is at least ten days shorter than any other route.
 Using the rates of 1912 as a basis instead of last year, when a rate war was on We have made a big cut on freight rates. Where the rate was formerly $l+0 a ton we have cut it to S1S5. The base rate per ton into Fairbanks was former ly S6O and We have now cut it to S55, and on heavy commodities wo have cut the rate to between >@U and $52.50 a ton.
 Rates on machinery have been reduced 10 per cent straight through. and We have abolished all penalties for heavy pieces or and dredge timber under our new tariff. We also have abol- ished the 10 per cent increase on after September, whnu the season closes.
