Sweden's reactionaries would

the Swedish government seized a

tries after the Wholesale coop
eratives had been organized. In
England for instance, the final
success Of co-operatives dates
from 1863, the date of the es-
adjustment of the Cooperative
Wholesale Society which has de-
yeloped an enormous business
having done over $1,00O,00O, 900
worth of business during the past
year according to reports receiv-
ed from England recently.
The COOPERATIVE Wholesale
Society of America is doing
general wholesale agency business
for its affiliated State, Interstate
and local co-operatives, and is
buying many lines at 13 to Is
per cent below the regular whole
sale prices. A produce depart
ment is maintained which has been
handling potatoes and all kinds Of
vegetables, fruit poultry veal
eggs, cream, butter, hay, straw,
in fact everything produced by
the farmer. Through the va
rious affiliated co-operatiyes much
OF this produce is already sold
to the ultimate consumer without
the interposition of single mid
dleman concern that is not own
ed comparatively. The main bulk
Of the profits of the Wholesale
will be pro-rated back to the
subordinate co-operatives and by
them pro-rated back to the orig
inal producers and ultimate con-
sumers. The ultimate consum-
ers aside from the farmers them
selves in the Cooperative Whole
sale Society System for this farm
produce are now being reached
through the workingmen in Great
Falls, Montana, a city Of 10000
inhabitants, largely workingmen,
who own their own cooperative
store which is affiliated with the
system, the coal miners at Wind

To "An AmiabIe Child"

A small monument reminiscent OF
old-time New York is often noted on
Riverside drive, near that somber me-
mortal, Grants tomb. The little stone
is inscribed Erected to the Memory
of an Amiable Child" The touching
inscription has aroused much Curl
osity as to the unrecorded name Of
the VICTIM Of an untimely fate. A
New York city paper says that the
child was the son of George Pollock,
who owned a tract of land in this Sec
ton in 1897. While this "amiable
child" was On fishing excursion with
his father at a place called Fishing
Rock, short distance out in the riv-

ed. The father wrote, in conveying
to another person the land where the
monument stands: 'The surrounding

Find Markets for
Canned Goods
By the u. S. Department Of
Agriculture

Housewives and members of cam
ming clubs are urged to study their
market at the beginning Of the season
and pack according to the local de-
mands for different products. They
are advised by the bureau Of markets
Of the department to secure orders for
canned goods before putting them up.
Small lots of nonstandardized prod
ucts are difficult to sell except among
local buyers and are not purchased by
the army, navy, commercial dealers
or any department of the government.
Many appeals to the department Of
agriculture to find market for home
canned goods have been made during
the past year and often the Gamers
believed that the government was in
the market for such goods. Subject
to whatever regulations may be made
by the federal government, the mar
keting Of food products will proceed
in the usual manner and the bureau of
markets points out that proper grad
Ing, standardizing and careful prepa-
ration for market are especially nee
essary in handling canned goods.
Home-canned products can be kept
over from one season to the next and
those who have not sold their goods
have reserves to draw from for their
home table. 1t is good policy, say the
specialists, for the housewife to pro-
vide reasonable surplus beyond the
probable home consumption for the
next crop year.
While the bureau Of markets is CIV
