SMITH On CONSUMERS, STORES

The Plaza Pioneer tells of one subscribers idea
of cooperative consumers farm It is very timely
and amusing satire on the consumers store scheme.
Here it Isl
Mr. Cady from north of town was in last week
with new idea His idea is that the townspeople
should start cooperative consumers farm. He
proposes to sell $4,000 worth of right to buy butter,
eggs, produce, grain and he will sell such things
raised at 10 per cent margin of profit, without
freight The town people will pay $40 year for the
privilege Of purchasing produce at this farm. Mr..
Cady promised to invest $4,000 of the $4,000 in
the farm and equipment. In this manner townspeo-
pie will be assured of getting their produce alta rea-
sonable profit With regard to the surplus Of $50,
00O he says what he does with that is none OF the
townspeopde's d business He will spend it
thinks will benefit the townspeople.
Mr. Cady claims that the reason people in town
are growing poorer and poorer and the farmers are
growing weather. is because the farmers are rob-
bling the townspeople; they have been buying too
much hay at $40 ton and too much wheat at So a
bushel too much oats at 81 bushel, too many eggs
at 40 cents and too much butter at 50 cents He be-
lieves in cutting out the middlemen and have the
consumer get his produce directly from his own
farm, at least one he thinks he owns. For small
additional fee of SIG he will also furnish all towns
people with information, how to vote. He claims
that business will never be good matter how good
crops we have until the townspeople know how to
vote right This department easily be cared for
by the hired men during the long winter evening
and will incur no additional expense to the Con-
sumers Farm company. The Pioneer wants it UNI
derstood that we are opposed to Mr. Cady's plan
for the same reason that we are against TOwnley's
plan. s'a1e

THE BIG ISSUE.

The big and only real issue in the coming eec-

we vote for pure Americans and do they train
with loyal Americans? That is the question. Will

BARGE AHQY!

New York has just sent it's first freight to Buffalo
over the new $l550000O0 barge canal, and practical
ly utilization Of the great inland waterway is as
sured The estimated capacity Of the canal is 49,
100000 tons Of freight annually the equivalent Of
100000 carloads.
Without doubt the barage canal will be Of great
assistance in getting wartime freight from Lake

respondingy lessened if our inland waterways pro-

While speaking of Mr.. Leckcn-
