health Officers over the country in

The matter of cooperative store I'm

aud the question has been thoroughly
discussed. but through lack Of agree
ment and initiative the matter has
been dropped as often as 1t has been
discussed.
There Is now another movement on
foot for such an institution, though
this movement was started from dif-
ferent angle Of which the original pur-
pose was to work out more feasible

place for the grading, packing 20;
shipping of these products WIS iir-
oughly investigated last v"'r.
merchants OF Dcming seemed IN rr''f

rather than from the various wagons
that came along. But the farmers
found It impractical and Improbable
to provide such n place for doing bust
ness only five or six months during the
year.
