SECRETARY Of WAR

which apparently exists.
Ever since the plans for the can
tonments and training camps were
ar.., made, the War Department has
"rrr flooded with requests from all
.orts Of organizations to erect spe-
.E.r hnildings inside the military re
ya,vatons. Various religious denoml-
outton.. a large number of lodges ana
rratnrnities, and many athletic and
r.rrpatioral clubs have petitloned us

camps. To say nothing of the CON

and reasonable solution of the prop

in all military camps both in Canada
and abroad is too well known to re-

Farmers SshouId Cooperate.

The produce commission business is,
apparently, nearing the end of it's day.
1t has served it's purpose and must
give way to something better. We
believe that in a measure that "some-
thing better" will absorb the activi-
ties and experience of the present gen.
GRAFTON of commission merchants.
But the prevailing system is made
quate to the producers needs. We
have always held that cooperation in
marketing is the way out. People CO.
operate in founding cities and conduc-
ting city affairs. They cooperate in
stock companies, corporations and
trusts. Why should not the farmers
cooperate to serve their own interests
and secure the certain marketing of
their products at remunerative prices i?
Why should they not cooperate in
buying what their farms and house.
holds need? In the days described
above cooperation was impossible. It
is the demand of the hour now.-Ex-
