THE SPIRIT OF Co-opERAT1oN-The

Worlds troubles are largely due to lack of CO.
operation. This is what stirs up the industrial
world with wtchs broth of class hostility And
the most conspicuous instance of all is in the re-
latio1s existing between nations
Great ogress in cooperative spirit has been
made during the past Is years in the business field
At the earlier period business men were hostile
toward their rivals and would not act uncdlv
with them They have now found it pays to get
together and thousands of cities and towns are
making splendid progress as the result of this bet
ter unity.
The .amc spirit should be promoted in The inter
national field The masses OF the people have no
hostility to other nations They wish them well
reason the statesmen and diplomats of these coun.
tries have not been able to adjust international re,
lations on peace basis, that the world has been
fril of wars ard threats of wars
The probable success of the Washington CON
ference in reaching a better adjustment, indicates
that the statesmen OF these countries are feeling
the demand OF their constituents for spirit Of CO.
operation and Cancellation. The peoples ID not
to fight and they do not want their statesmen to
lrag them into needless wars.
Many Of these hosttics have resulted from the
efforts Of the political leaders to secure CONNER
cal advantages for their respective populations
But the mass of the people have learne! that it
does not ray to fight to get trade Better make

Few people realize how thinly great

outside of Europe today. The United
States, Canada and Argentina contain
twice as much land as the home con-

the land now comprised in the United

SEND LIVE FISH TO MARKET
New Idea Certainly Is Big Improve

Food Is Concerned.

In Norway and Holland huge tank
scows, which are In effect floating
aquirla, have long been used TO fetch
fishes from the fishing grounds TO mar
ket Thus they reach the latter alive
and In fine condition.
The idea has been newly adopted
for use on this side of the ocean, and
several such scows, have been built
for traffic between Canadian waters
and our northern seacoast cities.
They are built OF wood, their hulls'
which are long and narrow, having a
number OF compartments TO hold the
fish. The compartments are perforated
with holes In order that the sea water
may flow freely through them. Water
tight bulkheads at bow and stern keep
the craft ah0at
Some Of the fishes inevitably die or
sicken In the course OF so long voy-
age, and these are sc0oped out with
long handled nets and thrown away.
The scows are sailing craft, but II is
planned to equip them with gasoline
engines for faster travel. one Of them
twenty-four days out from Quebec
reached New York the other day With
cargo OF one thousand tons OF cells
caught In chicken wire traps in the 81
Lawrence river, which were delivered
alive and wriggllng at the Fulton fish
market.
